大学概况University Profile

Applications are booming at Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU). With four campuses across Kent and a recruitment footprint that sees more than 60% of students recruited from within the county, CCCU knows its market.

The former Church of England college achieved university status in 2005, and there are now 20,000 students split between the campuses. Applications and enrolments rose in 2013 and applications are up again this year. It is the region’s largest provider of courses for the public services, with teacher training courses that are rated “outstanding” by Ofsted and strong programmes in health and social care, nursing and policing.

The Folkestone campus has closed, but the university has bases in Broadstairs, Tunbridge Wells and Chatham, as well as its headquarters in Canterbury. The purpose-built campus at Broadstairs offers a range of subjects from commercial music to digital media, photography, and child and youth studies.

The Salomons Centre, just outside Tunbridge Wells, caters exclusively for postgraduate courses, while the newly expanded Medway site at Chatham is shared with Greenwich and Kent universities, offering education and health programmes at a variety of levels.

The majority of the students, however, are at the university’s main campus at Canterbury, a World Heritage Site and one of the safest UK university cities. The Canterbury campus, which dates from 1962, is a few minutes’ walk from the city centre, but the university has several buildings in other parts of the city.

Augustine House, a £35m library and student services centre, with specialist teaching and IT facilities, was joint winner of the Society of College, National and University Librarians’ 2013 award for the best library design. The Sidney Cooper Gallery, in the heart of the city, hosts exhibitions and workshops from visiting artists as well as work by students before the best goes on to be exhibited in London galleries.

St George’s Centre opened in 2012, housing the students’ union, residential accommodation, bar and coffee lounge within easy reach of the high street. Another 418 residential places are under construction close to the centre.

The university has also renovated St Gregory’s Centre for Music, an historic concert venue, and opened separate rehearsal, practice and performance space in a building named after Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, the composer and former Master of the Queen’s Music, who is a visiting professor. It has also acquired the former Canterbury Prison site for future development in the city.

The Church of England link is underlined by the choice of Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, as the university’s Chancellor. The subject mix, with an emphasis on health subjects and education, means that seven out of ten students are female.

New courses for 2014 included a BSc in sports coaching science and the option of a year’s work placement on business studies degrees. Some 97% of the undergraduates are state-educated and well over a third come from working-class homes. The dropout rate has improved consistently and, at less than 11%, is better than average for the university’s courses and entry qualifications.

Canterbury Christ Church was one of the new “teaching-led” universities, but was given the power to award research degrees in 2009. The university entered staff in seven areas in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise. The best grades came in education and music, both of which had 10% of their work assessed as world-leading.

Christ Church broke into the top 20 in the People and Planet Green League of universities’ environmental performance in 2013 (ranking 17^th out of 143 institutions), drawing praise for its work on sustainability and rigorous environmental auditing.

All campuses are interconnected by a high speed data network, providing access to online teaching and learning materials, the student web portal and email. The student support service – i-zone – can be accessed online or via staff at the i-zone desks.

The Drill Hall Library at Medway provides 110,000 items, 400 computers and 280 study spaces, while the Augustine House Library has over 300,000 books, 250 computers, plus extensive wireless coverage throughout the building. The award-winning i-Borrow scheme has 200 laptops available for self-service loan within the building.

Social and sports facilities naturally vary between the campuses, although the students’ union is present on all of them. The sports centre in Canterbury includes a large adaptable sports hall and a fitness suite, a sports and exercise studio and performance analysis rooms. The centre hosted the pre-Olympic training camp for the Puerto Rico teams in 2012. The university also has facilities at Polo Farm Sports Club close to the city. There are 12 acres of playing fields about a mile from the main campus.

Residential accommodation is available to all first years who meet certain conditions. The pressure is eased to some extent because of the large proportion of students who come from Kent (and who, therefore, mostly live at home), many of them among the 7,600 taking part-time courses.
