ARU Chelmsford

Last week, our final‑year Engineering students took centre stage at ARU Chelmsford’s first-ever Engineering End of Year Show 🔧✨

The event gave students the opportunity to showcase their final projects, talk through their ideas and outcomes, and connect with peers and invited industry professionals. It was a brilliant chance to see the high‑quality work our students produce, supported by dedicated academic staff and industry‑informed teaching.

We’d like to thank the industry guests and ARU academic colleagues who supported the judging process, taking the time to review and score the projects on display. Congratulations to all of the competition winners. 👏

We’re incredibly proud of our final‑year students and wish them every success as they take their next steps. This show is a great example of how ARU supports students to engage with industry and prepare for their future careers.

The NSS has now closed 🎓

Thank you to everyone who took part and shared your thoughts about your experience at ARU. Your feedback helps us continue improving our courses and support for future students. 💬✨

All prize draw entries will be processed soon. The draw will take place later this month, and winners will be contacted directly by us via their ARU email. 📩🎉

Thank you for making your voice count.

✨ We were delighted to welcome Ariston UK to our Chelmsford Campus last week! ✨

This followed their generous donation of a Nimbus Pocket 50 (5kW) air source heat pump, supporting research activity within our Engineering department.

The visit included a tour of our specialist facilities, followed by inspiring PhD and MEng research presentations from our Engineering students. These explored the thermodynamic cycle and the practical application of low-carbon heating technologies ♻️🔥

Opportunities like this help our students bring theory to life, engage directly with industry, and develop the skills and confidence employers are looking for 💡

Thank you to the team at Ariston UK for supporting our students and contributing to our research and innovation in sustainable engineering!
