About Canterbury Christ Church University

For more than 50 years, Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU) has been a big part of the Kent community, providing education that makes a real and positive difference to people’s lives. The University started out as a teacher training college in the 1960s in response to a national shortage of teachers. Today we continue to shape our courses and research around critical social issues both nationally and globally. In 1962, Christ Church College opened its doors with just 70 students and nine teachers.

The University’s mission is to pursue excellence in higher education: transforming individuals, creating knowledge, enriching communities, and building a sustainable future.

The university is deeply committed to:

• the development of the whole person, respecting and nurturing the inherent dignity and potential of each individual
• the integration of excellent teaching, research, and knowledge exchange
• the power of higher education to enrich individuals, communities, and nations
• our friendly, inclusive, and professional community of students and staff, preparing individuals to contribute to a just and sustainable future
