Pursue your education in Silicon Fen, the hub for tech giants like Apple, Microsoft, Samsung AI, and numerous others—an ideal environment to build connections with leading employers. Gain hands-on experience through our Live Brief projects, developed in collaboration with regional businesses such as Regate and Citisoft. Recognized by BCS and IET, we've been a Cisco Network Academy for over a decade. The BEng program emphasizes engineering with specialized final-year options in embedded computing, networks, and security. You'll have access to cutting-edge hardware, industry-specific software, our fully equipped Cisco lab, and our 24/7 virtual Netlab. At ARU, computing students develop teamwork, independent thinking, and creative problem-solving skills in our advanced labs. Our practical approach focuses more on coursework, reports, and presentations (around 70%) than traditional exams (approximately 30%).
Our specialized resources feature a complete Cisco lab and a virtual Netlab available worldwide 24/7—ideal spaces to hone technical skills using professional tools like Microsoft Imagine Premium and VMware IT Academy. We foster teamwork through peer activities and expert-led lectures and seminars.
Career readiness is woven into every stage of the curriculum, beginning with Pluralsight access—a premium online platform offering real-world professional training alongside academic studies. Throughout your program, you'll tackle Live Brief projects designed by local companies, ensuring practical industry experience from start to finish.
