ECI New Summer Programme at Anglia Ruskin University

Emerald Cultural Institute UK is delighted to announce a new summer centre for 2026! Located just 25 minutes outside central London, this ideal setting offers a unique opportunity for international students to immerse themselves in Emerald’s renowned English-language curriculum while enjoying the benefits of modern university facilities, a vibrant student life and a fantastic London experience. 

ARU (Anglia Ruskin University) was named the Times Higher Education University of the Year 2023 and is ideally situated within easy reach of London, one of the world’s most dynamic and diverse cities.
