Canterbury Christ Church University

Uni itself is okay facilities and campus are great. Our Library is really great! only thing bothering me is that students are not that welcoming to the international students and since there is like 100 of us and i know name of like one persone, maybe it is also my fault partly, but still I feel left out.

The overall experience at my five years at university would some up into the words: life changing. As an international student the country and the university provided me with guidance through my adult life and shaped me to who I am now. Moreover, with the the support from tutors I developed my academic knowledge throughout the years and got involved in many practical activies and projects which will help me find the dream career.

There are a couple of things I’d like to mention about Christ church as a university. Firstly- the price of food in the cafe is ridiculous, I cannot compaire this to other university’s but I think £4 for 1 chicken wrap is ridiculous. Secondly is student support- where actually is the support?! During second year I suffered with severe depression causing me to move home and complete the year from my bed, my tutor was somewhat helpful giving me the exstentions I needed enabling me to actually finish the year, but other than that, no support was offered to me what so ever. However Christchurch similarly has a lot of positives, Christchurch is a small university meaning everyone knows one another and it’s like having a big extended family. The location of the university is close to everything & Canterbury as a mini city is beautiful. All the facilities are modern and the buildings are always clean and warm. The one thing the campus is lacking are sports facilities- while the university offers lots of sports most training sessions are off campus and at different centres, gyms, football fields as the campus doesn’t have these facilities- this does work though. The nightlife is okay, but come to third year and you are not excited by club chemistry anymore! The SU is great on a Wednesday if you’re in a sports team or a Sunday for big quiz, other than that, it’s dead.

The university facilities are great, the library is new and the staff are very helpful. My course was fine art but sadly they don’t do it anymore but it was a nice, small, friendly course. Everyone at the uni is like a family and I think it’s due to the fact that there’s other universities around (aka Kent) which results in some friendly competition. The best moments at uni we’re definitly getting on the bus to club chemistry on a Wednesday and just having everyone chanting cccu songs. It always gave me goose bumps.

Careeer services are amazing however the admin staff are really slow and rude. I study business with finance with is a lot however the tutors always give extra help when needed.

Good university- good facilities- the library is incredible although computers are not always available but they always have the books I am looking for and the staff are lovely! Lectures- lectures can be very interesting and stimulating and there are some amazing lecturers in my department (education) however sadly they carry the department as some of my lecturers are absolutely terrible- one is just rude and others cant teach etc. Head of the course is amazing and so helpful! What lets the university down is the support services- particularly counselling are in need of serious improvement - more full time counsellors who know what they're talking about need to be employed. More transparency on where our 9 grand actually goes! The Students Union could be improved but the staff are lovely and the food is cheap!

Good course. Good structure. Not much support with placement. Not enough time in skills lab. The library has a ton of books as well which is very helpful. Helpful lecturers too though some are confusing

The university is good, although when commenting it is hard to get actively involved within the uni. Moreover, some students attendance is shocking and t is not fair how people can go on to the next yea with such a low attendance while others make every efffort to go in.

I have had the best 3 years at Canterbury Christ church studying early years. It’s been great fun! Accommodation at petros court was great! The night life and shopping is great in Canterbury. Always lots to do. The libary is a nice place to study with lots of space and a stimulating environment. I don’t want to leave CCCU, it’s been a great 3 years.

The university has a mix of staff, good and bad, but most are very passionate and the opportunities that you can get are very good. The courses are great and offer students the chance to work in a range of industries.

I think the university as a whole is excellent, with great facilities and friendly staff. The student union hosts some great events throughout the year. However I think that the university administration team could be better as there was a massive screw up on their behalf at the beginning of the academic year for me.

Excellent uni. Good facilities in the uni campus. Lots of choice for the type of room you want in halls. Lots of places for support. Library has many facilities and resources.

Student union very good. Lots of choices for halls but some are closer than others. Facilities are very up to date. Library has a lot of good equipment and a variety of all the books we need.

Beautiful city and good university but tutors could be more supportive! Halls are great but expensive for what they are, atop of additional costs for printing and washing. Good atmosphere, friendly people.

The business school has given me many opportunities to grow and develop and are very centered around the students. However the involvement in individual subjects could be better.

The campus is not a grand as other campuses but the staff are helpful and being so close to town it makes it easier to go shopping after lectures. The library is well stocked and a useful tool when completing work.

Campus is very easy to move around and clean, facilities are great and staff make them easy to use, careers service are individual to each course which is helpful. Sessions and room timetables are organised very well and with a lot of notice even if room changes are made

Staff very helpful and informative about everything and always available to help whenever needed. Course has has interesting lectures that are clearly organised and easy to understand

Focusing on the course, they have a range of diverse opportunities for students to participate in real world affairs and industry standard use of equipment.

Facilities - most of the facilities are good, could have some work or more money put into them but they are not useless or disgusting. Support - some of the lecturers are useless in regard to further support and help as they just do not seem to care. The health and wellbeing services are finally pulling their finger out and helping those who suffer with mental health issues, unfortunately it was too late for a couple of students. Food - in the food court the food is not too expensive and is rather tasty but in the cafes it is overpriced and adequate.

Campus buildings are lovely and library facilities can’t be faulted. Staff are all very helpful and the course choices for year 2 & 3 are looking really exciting

Everything is great, the course, facilities, accommodations, location! St. George’s is very clean and holds its own nightlife.

Thoroughly enjoying my experience here. Staff are always happy to help and the facilities are good. Prices in food halls etc are steep though

My course has good and bad sides to it, I am learning a lot and enjoying the course however it is very unorganised which leads it to be very stressful.
