University of Cumbria

About

The University of Cumbria was formed in 2007 by the merger of St Martin’s College, Cumbria Institute of the Arts and University of Central Lancashire’s Cumbria sites, operating from campuses spread across Cumbria and North Lancashire. We may be a relatively new university, but we are steeped in history dating right the way back to 1822.
We are dedicated to helping those within our local communities. By fundraising for charities, supporting local festivals and running our Young Care Leavers programme, we continuously foster the development of the communities to which we belong.

The university is continuing to grow, expanding in geographical terms as well as academic scope.
We are in the business of possibility. Empowering staff and students to succeed – bringing new thinking, skills, and opportunities. We will enhance our portfolio to offer students more choice. Crucially, we will ensure our staff are equipped, supported and valued. We will enable them to do what they do best, but also encourage them to innovate and to grow – to develop their talent and skills, while exploring new academic possibilities.
