Where education meets excellence for students aged 16 to 18, and adult learners.

ARU Writtle

ARU Writtle College campus is a unique place. Nestled in the Essex countryside, the 150-hectare campus has landscaped gardens, working animal units, construction areas, workshops and retail, business and leisure operations. There is a lively community atmosphere on campus, with students from over 50 different countries. The College is part of Anglia Ruskin University, ARU and a member of Landex.

The majority of our students spend a large proportion of their course time using the diversity of the natural and built environments on campus for case study work, practical learning and hands-on work experience and business training

Writtle prides itself on the quality of its courses. Our classrooms do not have walls. Most students spend a large proportion of their course time outdoors, using the diversity of natural and built environments on campus for case study work, practical learning and hands-on work experience and business training.
