The story started in 1858 when the art critic, patron and philanthropist John Ruskin opened Cambridge School of Art. The art school grew to become ARU, and it’s still at the heart of our modern-day campus in Cambridge. Over the years, many colleges and institutes have become part of ARU. They include the Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology (CCAT) and the Essex Institute of Higher Education (formerly the Chelmer Institute – itself formed from the Mid-Essex Technical College and the Brentwood College of Education). At first, these colleges combined to become Anglia Polytechnic, and then Anglia Polytechnic University in 1992. The campuses are at the heart of four exciting cities: Cambridge, Chelmsford, London and Peterborough. With a thriving Students' Union, 120 student societies and city life right on your doorstep, there is never a dull moment.

In 2016, Brunel celebrated 50-years as a university. The history can be traced back to 1798 through the predecessor colleges of Borough Road College, Maria Grey College, Shoreditch College and the West London Institute of Higher Education and as well as through Acton Technical College then Brunel College. The rise since 1966 has been impressive and the reputation grows year-on-year. Now a university of 12,746 students – 3,309 students engaged in postgraduate and research study – the approach is to combine academic rigour with the practical, entrepreneurial and imaginative approach pioneered by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The decision to be named after Isambard Kingdom Brunel was taken after much discussion. Rather than name the new college after a location, Dr Topping, the first Vice-Chancellor of Brunel University (and former Principal of Brunel College) pleaded that the name should be a well-known person preferably an engineer or scientist associated in some way with Middlesex or Acton. The agreement was reached in March 1957 that person would be Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806-1859) is one of the great British engineers of the 19th century. Isambard was born into an industrious family in 1806, with his mother Sophia Kingdom working for the Royal Navy, and father Marc Brunel being a prominent French engineer. Isambard took on formal training as an engineer and went on to build twenty-five railways lines, over a hundred bridges, including five suspension bridges, eight pier and dock systems, three ships and a pre-fabricated army field hospital. To add to this he was a keen social engineer, building housing estates, churches and hospitals.
