The association between the two institutions is designed primarily to offer eligible students an alternative pathway to university studies. That academic quality comes first at CRIC is demonstrated by the involvement of University staff in the CRIC Academic Advisory Board.

The British education system is highly regarded worldwide. Students graduate with an internationally recognised degree and are keenly sought after by prospective employers.

No matter how long you spend in the UK there will always be more to discover. London, a convenient train ride from Cambridge, offers a dizzying array of sights, galleries, museums, markets, theatre, dance and live music in addition to a vibrant nightlife, amazing shopping and a full range of dining experiences.

Living and studying in Britain is an inspiring experience with its combination

of thriving city life, history, art, culture and picturesque rural scenes.

“In the world of lifelong learning, British education is a first class ticket for life.”Mr Tony Blair

CRIC students have their say!

Ashkan Kamali Dashtarzheneh (Iran), International Foundation Programme leading to BSc (Hons) Biological Science

“I am studying the Foundation in Biological Science at CRIC. I chose to study in Cambridge because it offers a great environment for studying and you can make lots of friends from different countries. It is a very safe city and is not far from London.

I enjoy the challenge of studying Maths and participating in group work which is a big part of studies at CRIC. The atmosphere at the college is really friendly and there are some great social activities such as the college football team.”

Aishatu Bodunrin (Nigeria), Pre-Master leading to Master of Business Administration (MBA)

“I joined the CRIC Pre-MBA programme in September 2008 and have now started my MBA at Anglia Ruskin University. The CRIC lecturers were very supportive and had their own distinctive and engaging style of teaching. The Pre-Master programme was perfect for me as I just missed out on direct entry to university so the course provided me with a guaranteed pathway to the MBA after just 3 months!

While there were lots of assignments I felt that I was always learning so much which made me confident of doing really well when I started my MBA.

On the weekends I like to go sight-seeing, exploring the city of Cambridge and shopping of course!”

Lye Wan Yong (Malaysia), International Foundation Programme in Architecture and Surveying leading to BSc (Hons) Architecture

“Cambridge is a great location for architecture studies as it is an amazing historical city. I have found my subjects to be very interesting and totally different from what we learn in our country.

The city is very compact which allows me to go to all the shops I like plus do my groceries all within walking distance from where I live.

It has been great being in a class with students from so many different nationalities and I feel like I am always learning new things which makes studying exciting.”

Madhavik Patel (India), Winner of the College Principals Award for being the most outstanding student, International Foundation Programme in Engineering leading to BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering

“I chose Cambridge as it is a great place to study in an environment which is safe and quiet. CRIC has provided me with a way to enter into the degree of my choice at university through its International Foundation programme. CRIC has proven to be the best choice for me as it has helped me get back into studies. I have found the small class sizes of between 15 – 20 students really helpful as it allows me to interact with my lecturers much more easily than if I was in a class with lots of students.

I have found the course to be challenging yet very interesting with my favourite classes being maths and physics. I would say that CRIC is the best choice for international students.”

Muzzy Kaplan (Turkey), International Foundation Programme in Engineering leading to BEng (Hons) Engineering

“I love Cambridge because everyone is really nice and friendly and the city itself is the perfect place to live. I would usually play football or go out with my friends to eat and go out (socialising is great in Cambridge by the way).

CRIC was the right choice for me as the staff were so helpful and nice when I first enquired about studying there. I have really enjoyed studying at CRIC and my physics lecturer especially was really helpful when I needed assistance.

My advice to other international students is, choose Cambridge as it is the best place in England to study and CRIC’s support and helpful staff will make sure you succeed in your studies.”

Nakata Chan (Hong Kong), International Foundation Programme in Architecture and Surveying leading to BSc (Hons) Architecture

“I chose to study at CRIC because Cambridge is such a nice city. It is safe and clean and has lots of other international students studying here. There is lots to do when I am not at CRIC like playing football, shopping and catching up with all my friends.

I am studying to be an architect and I have found the foundation programme the perfect starting point for me to gain entry into the BSc (Hons) Architecture. I have really enjoyed my first semester and have learnt a lot from CRIC lecturers.”

6 Cambridge – a student city like no other

“I will pack, and take a train, and get me to England once again! For England’s the one land, I know, where men with Splendid Hearts may go; And Cambridgeshire, of all England, The shire for Men Who Understand.” Rupert Brooke, The Old Vicarage, Grantchester (1912)

CambridgeA student city like no other

Cambridge is a jewel in the crown of England’s heritage.

Renowned as a seat of learning, its Colleges continue to hone

some of the world’s greatest intellects, while its beauty inspires

poets and artists.

A city steeped in history, Cambridge is also at the forefront of 21st century technology. It remains a magnet to those who desire both the experience of the old and the excitement of the new. Cambridge’s main attractions are all within easy walking distance, best enjoyed with a lazy stroll around its famous streets.

Cambridge, just a 45 minute train ride from London, is home to 22,000 students and one of the fastest growing areas in Britain. Its combination of beautiful gothic architecture, tranquil punting on the river Cam and botanic gardens make it one of the most visited cities in the UK. However, as you would expect with such a large population of students, Cambridge offers much more than stunning scenery. A fantastic selection of cafes, restaurants and pubs are complemented by the full range of high street shops.

The ‘Junction’, a popular music venue has been a student favorite for many years with over 1,500 shows per year ranging from dance to rock bands. Regular appearances by international and local acts such as Blur, The Arctic Monkeys and Jamiroquai at The Junction

or the famous Corn Exchange, means students can always get their music fix. There is also a thriving cultural scene with venues such as Kettles Yard offering exhibitions, plays, concerts and the renowned Fitzwilliam Museum displaying an impressive range of art and antiquities.

Cambridge is well known for its love of sports ranging from tennis, badminton, cricket, ultimate frisbee and football. Beautiful wide open green spaces, such as Parker’s Piece and Jesus Green which are located in the city centre mean that students can join the friendly locals in an impromptu game of football or ultimate frisbee.

Cambridge is known for its academic tradition and has been the home of some of the world’s greatest intellects including Sir Isaac Newton and Stephen Hawking. Today it is also known as a centre of technological innovation, due to the growth of High-Tech industry. Students will not be short on inspiration and all the conveniences of a modern city, making Cambridge a perfect environment in which to study and live.

Climate and getting here

Cambridge weather is typical of the UK with cold winters from December to early March averaging temperatures between 0 – 10 degrees Celsius. Although there will be some fine, sunny days in winter, we recommend students bring a good winter coat, gloves, scarves and a beanie/hat to stay warm on their way to and from campus. University residences are all equipped with central heating as are all the campus buildings so students can expect to be comfortably warm once inside.

The spring weather from March to May is fairly mild although sometimes rainy. It is a beautiful time to visit Cambridge as the flowers and trees begin to bloom in the many gardens and parks. The Summer months of May – September are often very sunny and warm (20 – 25 degrees Celsius) and highlighted by glorious long summer evenings. It is at this time that the River Cam will be a hive of activity with many tourists enjoying something Cambridge is famous for – punting on the river Cam. Autumn (September – November) is again relatively mild with temperatures fluctuating around 7 – 18 degrees Celsius.

How to get around Cambdridge

Cambridge certainly does its part to make the world greener. With the highest level of cycling in the country, 1 in 4 residents cycle to work or college. Being a compact and flat city, cycling and walking are quick, healthy, cheap and pollution-free methods of travel.

For those who prefer motor power, the local bus service allows commuters to enjoy stress-free travel and beat the traffic. It also allows visitors and shoppers to take the direct route to the heart of the city.

Links to London are also excellent, with ‘Cambridge Cruiser’ trains leaving for the capital every half hour. The ride takes approximately 45 minutes and delivers you to the heart of London. It is a convenient and affordable way to enjoy all that the city of London offers.

When the rest of Europe beckons, London Stansted Airport is just 30 minutes from Cambridge and provides easy access to the European continent. If you are coming to the UK from your home country or planning on flying further afield you should arrive and depart from either London Heathrow or London Gatwick Airports.

What are the benefits of undertaking an International Foundation programme?The transition from High School to University is a big step and perhaps the most important in your life. Our Foundation programme is carefully designed with this in mind. By providing you with ample guidance, by being alongside of you at every step, and by providing you with the necessary tools, we make this transition much easier. This is why, upon completion, you are guaranteed progression into first year at university.

There are many types of foundation programmes. At CRIC our Foundation Programmes are tailored according to the degree you will be studying towards at the university. This means you will have the necessary background knowledge needed to excel in the very same subject areas.

Whilst studying your Foundation Programme you will also have access to all of the modern, well-equipped teaching and library facilities, sporting and recreational amenities, and on-campus accommodation available at the university.

In summary here are some of the real advantages:

A seamless transition

The initial stages of your university life are the most important. However, this period is also when many students feel somewhat lost and anxious. We understand this and have put in processes to ease the transition from school to university level studies. By taking it one step at a time and by providing you with the necessary tools we provide you with the ideal preparation for university.

The International Foundation advantageSave time and money, the programme is just 8 months

The programme is 8 months in duration, the optimum time needed to offer you a good foundation for university level studies.

Be eligible for a number of scholarships

When you transfer to Anglia Ruskin University you will be eligible to receive £500 towards your fees at the university.

Additional study support, English language assistance and unparalleled personalised attention

The extra academic contact will not only allow you to fully develop your knowledge and understanding of each module but better prepare you for university level studies. You will also be studying in small groups of around 20 students which will give you an unparallel level of access to your teachers.

Best of all, the additional academic support and pastoral care at CRIC, makes the transition from high school to university, a seamless one and guarantees entry into first year at Anglia Ruskin University. That’s the CRIC International Foundation Advantage!

1st Year Degree Programme The 1st Year Degree Programme is offered in partnership with

Anglia Ruskin University as an alternative pathway to a university

degree. Courses are equivalent of Year One (1st Year) of an Anglia

Ruskin University degree and are quality assured by the University

itself. Upon successful completion of the 1st Year Degree

Programme, you will transfer into Year Two (2nd Year) of your

selected Anglia Ruskin University Bachelor degree programme.

Programme durationThe 1st Year Degree Programme is a two semester programme allowing students to complete this programme plus their Bachelor (Hons) degree in three years.

Entry datesThe majority of programmes have three (3) intakes per year in September, February and June.

AssessmentAssessment for most modules is continuous, consisting of tests, assignments and case study analysis. Most modules have a final two-hour examination.

Programme structureStudents will normally undertake four modules, which mirror the curriculum taught at the University, each semester. These modules are often also taught by academic staff from the University. Students gain full credit for Year One of their studies at CRIC.

In addition to formal contact hours, CRIC provides students with extra support through individual consultation with teachers, tutorials, English language assistance, and self-access computer laboratories.

English language requirementStudents who do not meet the English language requirement are able to undertake the required amount of English language training to prepare them for successful entry into the 1st Year Degree Programme.

20

The 1st Year Degree advantageWhy would you undertake a 1st Year Degree programme as opposed to the 1st year at university?You will be pleased to know that the academic programme will be the same as what you would study at 1st year at the university. This is why, upon completion, you will be guaranteed progression into second year at the university.

You will study the same modules and be taught by highly qualified teachers who are often the same teaching staff at the university. All 1st Year Degree students other than those studying business will be ‘embedded’ which means they will be studying in the same classes as the Anglia Ruskin University students. The only difference being that the 1st Year Degree students will be provided extra academic and English language support.

You will also have the very same access as your university peers to modern, well-equipped teaching and library facilities, sporting and recreational amenities, and on-campus accommodation.

But what are some of the advantages?

A seamless transition

The initial stages of your university life are the most important. However, this period is also when most students feel somewhat lost and anxious. We understand this and have put in processes to ease the transition from school to university level studies. By taking it one step at a time, and by providing you with the necessary tools, we prepare you better for university.

Save time and money, the programme could be as little as 8 months

If you are undertaking a Business related degree programme, you will be able to complete the first year in just 8 months, saving 4 months (perhaps enough time for an internship or work placement, or time to return home for an extended holiday).

Save up to £2500 on your tuition fees, and be eligible for a number of scholarships

By taking the 1st Year Degree option, you can save up to £2,500 on your fees annually. When you transfer to Anglia Ruskin University for the 2nd year of your degree you will be eligible to receive £500 towards your university fees.

Additional study support, English language assistance and teaching hours

The extra academic contact will not only allow you to fully develop your knowledge and understanding of each module but better prepare you for university level studies.

Unparalleled personalised attention.

You will be studying in small groups of around 20 students, as opposed to many more students in a university class room setting.

Best of all, the additional academic support and pastoral care at CRIC, makes the transition from school and college to university, a seamless one. This is the 1st Year Degree Advantage!

The Pre-Masters programme at Cambridge Ruskin International

College will open the door to a range of Masters courses at Anglia

Ruskin University. Foremost, it will equip you with appropriate skills

and qualifications needed to excel in your chosen postgraduate

degree programme. Successful completion guarantees entry onto

the appropriate Masters programme at the University.

The Pre-Master Programme advantage

What are the benefits of doing a Pre-Masters Programme?A Masters programme at any university is a real step up from undergraduate level studies. Considering the fact that most Masters Programmes are just one year, it does not give you much time to catch up if you were to fall behind. We are mindful of this, and as such the CRIC Pre-Masters is designed, to not just be a pathway to the Masters programme, but a brief (3.5 month) programme to help you excel during your university studies.

The Pre-Masters is designed for students from a variety of backgrounds who fall into one or more of the following categories:

Require additional English • language training

Come from an academic back • ground different to the UK

Would like to adjust to the UK • academic environment prior to going into a Masters programme

Have been away from • studies for a long time

Looking to fine tune skills already • gained during undergraduate studies, employment or both

If you fit any or all of the above, congratulations! You have made the right decision.

What will I be studying during the programme?

You will be studying modules that will prepare you for a postgraduate programme by giving you confidence and expertise in areas relevant to your end degree programme.

The programme will

Develop your fundamental • knowledge and understanding of the basic principles relevant to the particular degree programme.

Develop basic numerical techniques, • research methodologies, marketing, ICT, presentation and communication skills to support the transfer into the Anglia Ruskin University Masters programmes.

Develop an appreciation and desire to • learn based on competent intellectual and practical skills building to a set of transferable skills that will support you in all aspects of your onward academic studies/careers and support your decision making in an informed manner.

Ensure that graduates have attained • the prescribed level of inter-disciplinary language competence.

Most importantly the programme above will certainly prepare you better for your postgraduate programme at the University. That is the CRIC Pre-Master Programme Advantage!

Navitas bursary and scholarshipsNavitas bursary and scholarshipsNavitas bursaryNavitas offers financial support in the form of family bursaries. A bursary applies where two or more students from the same family study with a Navitas member institution.

The first family member can be studying with a Navitas member institution at the same time as other family members or may have previously studied with any Navitas member institution. For the purpose of this bursary, a family member is defined as a husband, wife, brother, sister, mother, father, son, daughter or stepchild.

The bursary is granted to the second and subsequent family members who study with a Navitas member institution. The bursary is equivalent to 10% of the tuition fee for one program only (ie. High School, Certificate IV, Foundation, Diploma, Bachelor degree or Master degree with a Navitas member institution) and is credited to the eligible student’s tuition fee account each semester (the amount being relevant to the number of units undertaken in that semester). The bursary does not apply to additional units or repeat units that may also be undertaken.

Please note:1. The Navitas bursary is not applicable to English

language programs or any component of an English language program offered by Navitas member institutions. Please contact the relevant Navitas member institution for more information.

2. The Navitas bursary applies to students studying at ACN, CIC, Curtin Sydney, Curtin Singapore, CRIC, Eynesbury, FIC, HIBT, ICM, ICP, ICWS, LIBT, Macquarie City Campus, MIBT, MIBT Indonesia, PDIC, PIBT, QIBT, SAIBT and SIBT only.

Navitas academic merit scholarshipsNavitas is committed to helping students achieve their career goals by offering scholarships to outstanding students.

The scholarship applies to 50% of the tuition fee for a Navitas Diploma^ program at a Navitas college or one academic semester of undergraduate studies at ACN, Curtin Sydney, Curtin Singapore or Macquarie City Campus.

To be considered for the Navitas academic merit scholarship, students must:

1. Have achieved a minimum average of 70% in their high school final year grades. Students who have completed further studies, must have achieved a minimum average of 70% in the last 12 months of their most recent studies to be eligible. Non-academic subjects including physical education, religion and languages are not included in the assessment; and

2. Have achieved a minimum English language proficiency of IELTS 5.5 or equivalent; and

3. Have a Letter of Offer from a Navitas college or Navitas operated university campus (must hold an UNCONDITIONAL OFFER by the application deadline); and

Please note: 1. 2 x 50% scholarships are offered at all

Navitas colleges each semester.

2. Additional factors such as educational disadvantage, membership of a specific equity group and/or significantly adverse personal circumstances may be taken into account where the committee must differentiate between equally qualified applicants.

3. Students who are eligible to apply for a Navitas academic merit scholarship will be sent the scholarship application form with their Letter of Offer.

^ Diploma program may also be known or registered as Diploma Stage 2, 1st Year Degree Programme or University Transfer Program Stage 2 by some Navitas member institutions.

We understand that financing your studies is often an important issue when considering applying to study overseas. Every year, thousands of students come to the UK to study and find (as long as they budget sensibly) that the UK is an affordable place to live and study.

In order to help you do this we have created a guide to assist you to prepare your overall expenditure during your time at CRIC however, your own budget should realistically reflect your priorities in your expenditure - as this is different for every individual and the information to the right is just a guide.

33

Accommodation

On campus accommodation (single rooms in University Halls of Residence)This accommodation is intended for new students and is normally only available for a stay of one (1) semester (16 weeks maximum). Rooms in Halls of Residence are limited, so candidates should ensure that they apply early. Many students find that after living in Halls of Residence for one semester that they will have settled down, made friends and wish to experience life off campus in Cambridge.

Students staying in the Halls of Residence will have their own single room normally comprising a single bed, desk, cupboard, and wash stand. All rooms have free, broadband internet access. Students share a large self catering kitchen and bathroom facilities. The cost of a room for one (1) semester in Halls of Residence varies between £1,400 and £2,000, depending on the accommodation sought.

Anastasia HouseCRIC students have the option to stay in the University’s premier residence, Anastasia House, at £2,000 per semester. This accommodation provides students with purpose built accommodation with many rooms including en-suites. Located opposite the university it provides convenience and a high standard of living conditions.

Peter Taylor HouseCRIC students have limited access to a cheaper and more basic accommodation option through the University’s Peter Taylor House. Peter Taylor is the newest and largest of the University Halls of Residence. Located on-campus, it is within easy walking distance to shops, cafes, restaurants and all of your classrooms.

Off campus accommodationCRIC provides a referral service to a preferred off campus accommodation service provider/s for all students (new and continuing) wishing to live locally. The service ensures that CRIC students are assisted in sourcing privately rented accommodation within the city of Cambridge area.

Reserving on-campus accommodationOnce you have accepted an offer to study at CRIC you may then wish to ask CRIC to arrange your accommodation. In order to book your room you will need to complete an Accommodation Form and pay a £800 deposit. The remaining rent must be paid on arrival at CRIC. Places are limited and early booking is recommended to ensure a place and choice of room.

CRIC is able to offer places in the Anglia Ruskin University Halls of Residence for those wishing to live

on campus. The Halls of Residence consist of low rise, modern buildings situated either on or next

to the Cambridge campus. Alternatively, CRIC has off campus accommodation through its preferred

service providers.

34

Learning support

Here at CRIC we understand that the transition to University level study can be difficult for some students. To assist students to develop the study skills necessary to successfully complete their programme of study, CRIC offers a variety of study and learning support services, including:

Study skills training • In the first semester of study at CRIC students are provided with modules which help develop their study skills in areas such as time management, academic writing skills and examination techniques.

Assignment help• Our academic team and other teaching staff are available throughout the semester for individual or group appointments if students need help with assignment drafts, researching assignments, essay structuring, assignment writing and referencing in assignments.

English language support (Language • Development Programme) A Language Clinic is offered each semester to students who need to improve their English language skills and further develop their reading, writing, listening, speaking and grammatical skills within an academic context.

Attendance warnings

All students enrolled at CRIC are required to maintain an average attendance rate of at least 85% per module per semester.

Academic performance monitoring – Students in Jeopardy Programme

During semester, the academic team review students’ results and contacts any student who is at risk of failing a course to offer advice on how to improve academic performance.

Employment support

The Employment Bureau is a campus based recruitment agency that deals primarily with students, graduates and alumni of Anglia Ruskin University looking for temporary and permanent work. This service is also provided to all CRIC students.

5. Should it be necessary for a student to repeat a module, the full amount for that module will be charged.

Conditions

1. The student is expected to attend all classes and undertake all tests and examinations during a programme and abide by all rules and regulations of the College that are in force at any time, see College Policies and Regulations.

4. In the event of circumstances requiring urgent medical care where it is not possible to contact the parent/guardian, CRIC is authorised, as a matter of urgency, to seek and provide appropriate medical care.

5. International students must meet the minimum English language proficiency requirement for entry into the course. English proficiency will be tested; if the test reveals that the English language skills are insufficient, the student will be required to include a bridging English module in the first semester of study (free of charge) or enrol in either a mixed programme or an intensive English course prior to the commencement of studies at the discretion of CRIC.

Attendance regulations

The British system of Higher Education recognises that the ultimate responsibility for a student’s educational achievement lies with the student themselves. Moreover, as the vast majority of students in British Higher Education are over 18 years of age, they are recognised as adults and a considerable amount of freedom is extended to them so that they can regulate their own studies.

While CRIC (also known as the College) fully endorses the idea that students

must take responsibility for their own learning, the College does have a minimum 85% Attendance Policy which aims to limit the number of those individuals who fall unnecessarily into bad habits of non-attendance or poor attendance and ensures that good study routines are established. This policy stipulates that successful progression is based on students maintaining an 85% attendance in all classes, and as such the policy is monitored closely. Students who do not comply will find that they will jeopardise their ability to pass module/s or their programme. CRIC reserves the right to terminate the candidature to an award of any student who has a poor attendance record.

CRIC recognises that there is a direct link between poor attendance and poor academic performance by individuals. The College also holds the view that students who fail to attend classes are letting themselves and their sponsors down. Similarly, because education is a social experience, they are letting their classmates down.

All students will be apprised of the Attendance Policy on arrival and will be required to sign off that they have read and understood its implications.
