[HDNG]INTRODUCTION:[EHDNG][PARA][BULL] Formerly Anglia Polytechnic, CCAT, Essex IHE[EBOLD][PARA][ITAL]Along with [ULNE]Ulster[EULNE] and [ULNE]Cranfield[EULNE], this is as close as different sites get to being separate colleges. [EITAL] In fact, Anglia Poly University's 2 main campuses were separate colleges; Cambridge College of Art and Technology (CCAT) and the Essex Institute of Higher Education in Chelmsford; until they merged in 1989, became a poly in 1991 and a university in May 1992 - all in the time it takes to get a degree. [ITAL]'Merged' that is in the loosest sense, because they're still geographically and socially quite distinct. [EITAL]The courses taught at each site are different, but to confuse matters, there are another 2 smaller sites to cite at Brentwood and Danbury.[HDNG]ATMOSPHERE and SITES:[EHDNG][PARA][ITAL]What have Anglia students and ravers got in common? A lot of 'E's. A cruel joke and a reference to the fact that the University is not often students' 1st choice - few regret the tricky hand of fate, though. The spirit at each site varies as much as the place names on the train tickets and there's no common overtone.[EITAL][ITAL][HDNG]NOS and REQUIREMENTS:[EHDNG][EITAL][PARA][BOLD]Arts[EBOLD] 1,615 20pts[BOLD][PARA]Law[EBOLD] 398 22pts[BOLD][PARA]Science[EBOLD] 1,417 16pts[BOLD][PARA]Social Science[EBOLD] 850 20pts[HDNG]CAREER PROSPECTS:[EHDNG][PARA][STAT][BULL] Careers Service [BULL] No of staff: 6full/6part [BULL] Unemployed after 6mths (1992): 9%[ESTAT][PARA]There are careers services at all 3 teaching sites.[HDNG]SPECIAL FEATURES:[EHDNG][PARA][BULL]The University has a number of Associate Colleges [ITAL]which have very little effect on most students' lives[EITAL]: Writtle College; Colchester Institute; City College Norwich; Norfolk Institute of Art and Design.[HDNG]FAMOUS ALUMNI:[EHDNG][PARA]Adam Ant (pop star); Chloe Cheese (artist); Fluck and Law (creators of 'Spitting Image'); Jerry Hayes MP (Con); Kim Howells MP (Lab); the original Pink Floyd; Ronald Searle (cartoonist); Tom Sharpe (writer); Mike Smith (TV presenter).[HDNG]FURTHER INFO:[EHDNG][PARA]Prospectuses for undergrads and postgrads.
