Canterbury Christ Church

University College (CCCUC) Canterbury Christ Church University College is a modern, friendly College in the heart of Canterbury. The College is large, with over 10,000 full and part-time students, but has successfully maintained the friendliness and commitment to its students, characteristic of a much smaller institution.

The Student Union works enthusiastically to provide social and sporting events as well as personal support and advice. Up-to-date computing, library and other facilities help make your studies easier, with staff always on hand to help. Whilst the University College encourages independence it also recognises that you may sometimes need
assistance, and is happy to offer support should you need it. The compact campus means that all facilities are within easy reach. Many students progress on to Canterbury Christ Church University College after completing their studies at South Kent College, to pursue a variety of programmes including Teacher Education, Health related courses and Arts and Sciences.
