Against the termination of undergraduate courses at Ambleside Campus of The University of Cumbria Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/against-the-termination-of-undergraduate-courses-at-ambleside-campus-of-the-university-of-cumbria.html Online petition signatures en-us Tue, 28 Apr 2026 07:28 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mr Julian Hendy-Ibbs [Signature #507] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/8025600?utm_medium=rss Mon, 28 Jun 2010 09:21:44 UTC 8025600 Ms Margi Rawlinson [Signature #506] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/7006928?utm_medium=rss Thu, 18 Feb 2010 06:49:33 UTC 7006928 mr gary mickelfield [Signature #505] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/6683690?utm_medium=rss Sat, 12 Dec 2009 03:32:28 UTC 6683690 mrs shirley mickelfield [Signature #504] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/6683655?utm_medium=rss I think this is the worst sort of asset stripping. The college is important to ambleside in so many ways. It gives local kids a chance to get degree level education near home and kids from the rest of the world a chance to study in the most beautiful area in England. Where else could be more suitable to study outdoor ed?
As a local business owner we feel the village would be devastated by the loss of the college and all the young people. I wish them much luck in their campaign.

As soon as i walked in i was greeted with smiles. I felt so comfortable there and not many universities have made me feel so welcomed. Keep ambleside open!

Now that the proposal is out in the open I trust that we will be able to help find a solution. In the mean time I suggest that the proposal is put on hold for twelve months to give everyone time to work out a suitable solution. The phrase 'moth ball' is disengenuous. The local community will adapt and it will be difficult to re-create what they currently provide

The students are devastated and have started campaigning to keep the Ambleside Campus open.
We support the Students and the people of Ambleside in keeping what must be the most beautiful place to study in the UK open.

Many students anticipate and consider their choice of university by location. Why hasnt the university anticipated its responsibilities to its students? Is it because the students are not what is really important to the university? I realise desperate times can lead to short sightedness but at the very least please honour your current students commitments to the courses and campuses they signed up to (and are themselves paying desperately for)

Surely this would be an enormous waste of time, efforts and finances. Most students will have already aquired huge students debts just to take them this far into their course - how will they regain those lost finances, not to mention lost years of studying, if the courses have to be abandoned now? No other university offers courses quite like these!

We helped her to make this very important decision with information available about Cumbria University Ambleside Campus. The Course, Safety of surrounding area, accommodation etc. etc. We feel that we have let her down - Cumbria University have misrepresented the true situation. If we had been told about the possiblity of any closures we may have advised our daughter differently. In short we have been lied to.

The reason i chose to come to the campus was because of the area. Walking up to lectures in the morning and seeing Lake Windermere really reminds me of why i chose to study here. Why close down the campus to undergraduate students. Doing that destroys the 1 campus that really represents the University of Cumbria. Ambleside is in the heart of the Lake District. Taking the students away from it takes a part out of Ambleside itself!
