Is Cambridge Ruskin International College (Cric) is private or public university ?

Cambridge Ruskin International College (CRIC) is a private educational institution. It operates as a pathway college affiliated with Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), a public university in the UK. CRIC provides foundation, diploma, and pre-master’s programs designed to prepare international students for degree courses at ARU.

While ARU is publicly funded, CRIC itself is privately owned and managed. It focuses on supporting students who may not meet direct entry requirements for ARU by offering tailored academic and English language programs. This partnership allows CRIC students to transition seamlessly into ARU upon successful completion of their preparatory studies.
