I very muchhope and believe that your studies with us will find theseRuskin themes embedded in the progressive learning weoffer. Certainly we value our postgraduate and professionalstudent community for the rich contribution they make toboth the academic life and the culture of Anglia Ruskin.You will find our expertise, like John Ruskin’s, is prettybroadly based.

But he was far more than that.He was passionately concerned with social reform, as wellas the relationship between human beings and society, nature,architecture, craftsmanship and ideas.Ruskin’s ideas continue to shape our society, providing thesocial philosophical underpinnings for such features as freeschools, free libraries and museums, free hospitals, a minimumwage, and care for the elderly. One of Ruskin’s best known worksUnto This Last (1860–62) has been described as a book whichchanged history, inspiring the minds of politicians, philosophers,and authors, including such luminaries as Gandhi, Tolstoy,Proust, and Oscar Wilde.In 1858, John Ruskin opened the School of Art in Sidney Street,Cambridge, laying the foundation for the institution which hasgrown to become the modern Anglia Ruskin University. Some 150years later, the School of Art still forms part of the University, nowmuch expanded beyond its original confines to include not only itsother major campus in Chelmsford but a number of developingpartnerships with colleges throughout the East of England.Whether you aspire to furtheryour career prospects, developa specialist area of interest, orundertake a research project,you will benefit, both personallyand professionally, from thehighest quality teaching standards,excellent resources and excitingand creative atmosphere.Call our Contact Centre 0845 271 3333 for more informationweb www.anglia.ac.ukemail answers@anglia.ac.uk

ResearchDevelopingresearch projectsAt Anglia Ruskin we are at the cutting edge of newand exciting research in a wide variety of areas.Project teams are constantly striving for excellencethrough study and practical research; and, through thiscombined practice, comes the desire to pursue progressand discover. Many of the research and developmentprojects undertaken by the University during the year haveattracted the focus of the media, itself a true endorsementof the potential impact of these studies. The Universityis committed to continuing to develop high-qualityprogrammes and cutting-edge solutions to regional,national, and global challenges.World-class cancer research in EssexWorld-beating research into cancer is taking place atAnglia Ruskin University which could dramatically changethe way that the illness is treated.This work is taking place at the Helen Rollason Cancer CareResearch Laboratory, on the Chelmsford Campus, which is nowattracting interest from cancer specialists from all over the world.Anglia Ruskin University scientists are looking at ways ofstopping breast cancer cells from moving into other parts of thebody. If the tumour cells stay in the breast they will not provefatal - but if they move to vital organs the cancer will be muchmore difficult to treat. The scientists - who are funded by theHelen Rollason Heal Cancer Charity - are looking for early signsthat the cells will move. Eventually, this work could lead to newtreatment being developed to block cells moving. There is alsowork taking place to find out why some breast cancer cells areresistant to chemotherapy. Again, they are looking for early signsthat a tumour will not respond to chemotherapy. This couldmean that patients are not put through gruelling and unnecessarychemotherapy sessions as doctors will know beforehand thatit will not work.The scientists at the University lab, headed up by Dr LouiseAlldridge, have developed a unique partnership with Mid EssexHospital Services NHS Trust which gives them open andcontinuous access to human breast tissue. They work alongsidesurgeons in the theatres at Broomfield Hospital to collect thetissue immediately so they are looking at the tumour exactlyas it was in the body. The research lab is the only one in thecountry to collect tissue in this way. So far the lab has collectedmore than 100 samples and has already started to see positiveresults in the research projects taking place. Dr Louise Alldridgesaid, ‘Early results show that what we are doing is valid andmay lead to successful discoveries. If we can stop the cellsmoving, it will save lives.’‘Faster’ detection for coronary heart diseaseIn 2002, cardiovascular disease (CVD) caused 39% of deaths,and killed just under 238,000 people in the UK. CVD accountsfor nearly two million deaths in Europe each year.To help make progress with another major health issue,researchers from Anglia Ruskin University have developeda new medical imaging system which advances the accuracyof the diagnosis of coronary heart disease.The system, for the diagnosis of critically ill patients inCoronary Care Units, Intensive Care Units and A&E departments,has been developed by Professor Claudio Zizzo of the University’sFaculty of Science & Technology and Dr Aimen Hassani,Consultant Anaesthetist at Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford.It uses real-time electrocardiogram (ECG) data for the automaticdetection of ischaemia (a decrease in blood supply to the heart,caused by constriction or obstruction of the blood vessels) andacute myocardial infarction (the death of a section of the tissuesin the heart, also known as heart attack).Professor Zizzo commented, ‘The ECG is one of the main pillarsin the diagnosis of life-threatening heart conditions. It displayselectrical changes in the heart and provides information eitheron printouts or on a monitor display. Computer-assisted ischaemiadiagnosis is an emerging technology which helps doctors make atimely patient diagnosis but it requires specialist knowledge tointerpret results. The new imaging system creates an image of theheart highlighting any areas with ischaemia thus allowing doctorsto make faster and more accurate diagnosis, which is why it issuch exciting news.’Added Dr Aimen Hassani, ‘This new imaging system is going tomake a real difference to the many patients whose condition ispotentially life threatening. Identifying early a decrease in the bloodsupply to the heart is vital in the prevention of a heart attack.In this new era of invasive cardiology, this device will offer cliniciansa vital opportunity to start treatment early, prevent death or severeillness, and reduce the pressure on hospitals by reducing thelength of patient stay and reducing the costs of treatment.’New genus of monkey discoveryA monkey recently described for the first time by a Junior ResearchFellow based at Anglia Ruskin University’s Environmental SciencesResearch Centre has been assigned its own genus. The news is ofextreme scientific significance because it is the first genus of primateto be added to the official ‘taxonomic’ lists for over 80 years.The classification of the kipunji monkey of Tanzania in East Africais based on work conducted by Trevor Jones and his collaboratorTim Davenport from the Wildlife Conservation Society.In 2005, the scientific community was shocked when aninternational team of primatologists, led by Anglia Ruskin University’sTrevor Jones, described kipunji as the first new species of monkeyto be discovered in Africa for 25 years. The story took a further twistin May 2006 when a team in Tanzania, led by Tim Davenport,created a new genus for this remarkable primate.Trevor was amazed to hear the news, ‘We were very excited whenwe realised that we were looking at a new species – the news thatwe actually discovered a new genus is stunning. Since the newshas broken, the discovery has caught the attention of many keyenvironmental science groups from around the world.’Call our Contact Centre 0845 271 3333 for more informationweb www.anglia.ac.ukemail answers@anglia.ac.uk

This process is referredto as Admission with Credit (AwC). A charge may be made tocover the costs of this service. If you are entering a course throughadmission with credit this will need to be approved before you start.Admission with Credit will always impact upon the modules whicha student takes in a programme of learning, so it is important thatyou should identify any relevant prior learning when you apply toAnglia Ruskin. This process is also referred to as the ‘Accreditationof Prior Learning’ or ‘APL’, where this relates to learning completedthrough an earlier course of study, or where learning has beenachieved through relevant work or experience, this is referred toas ‘AEL’ ‘Accreditation of Experiential Learning’. The overall termused is ‘APEL’ which covers both prior learning and experience.So, if you’ve already achieved learning in any of these ways,it may be possible for Anglia Ruskin to accredit this within thecourse you now wish to follow.Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL)APL relates to learning completed through an earlier courseof study. If you’ve previously completed a course which is nowrelevant to your proposed course at Anglia Ruskin, you should makethis clear when you apply for admission. The Admission Tutor willassess the level of study to check if the course you did was at aHigher Education level. To be eligible for consideration in this way,you must be able to submit certification, which shows your successin a final assessment for that course. Simple participation in acourse, or an Attendance Certificate is not sufficient.Accreditation of Experiential Learning (AEL)It is important to understand that Anglia Ruskin’s AEL processdoes not award academic credit for experience alone, but forlearning which can be shown to have been achieved throughthat experience. Students are required to prepare an individualcase for the credit arising from their learning experiences.This normally means that a student receives support in thepreparation of a portfolio, in which their claim is justifiedin detail and is supported by relevant evidence.This portfolio of evidence is then submitted to the University forassessment and the possible award of academic credit. Becausethe process of accrediting prior learning needs to be scrupulouslyhandled, Anglia Ruskin lays out criteria which apply in all cases.In order to help you to comply with these criteria, Anglia Ruskin’sContact Centre may be able to direct you to specialist advicein your own subject area relating to APL, or an AEL claim.Alternatively, if you wish to find out more about this processbefore deciding whether it may be applicable to you, we’re alwayshappy to offer advice and answer any questions you or youremployer may have.Please call our Contact Centreon 0845 271 3333 or emailanswers@anglia.ac.uk110 Call our Contact Centre 0845 271 3333 for more informationweb www.anglia.ac.ukemail answers@anglia.ac.uk 111
