The University of Cumbria is a public university in Cumbria, with its headquarters in Carlisle[4][5] and other major campuses in Lancaster, Ambleside, and London. It has roots extending back to the Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts, established in 1822, and the teacher training college established by Charlotte Mason in the 1890s. It opened its doors in 2007 as a university.[6][7]
