Canterbury Christ Church is one of the best place to pursue a higher-education course in Psychology. The course's lecturers are highly experienced, very articulate, and always provide a lot of interactive sessions - even movie recommendations related to the study topics. The Psychology lab is something you would not want to miss out, with virtual reality, eye tracking, functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy that looks exactly like a Sci-fi movie. If you want to perform an in-depth research project that looks great on your CV, studying in CCCU under the amazing supervisors will help you greatly. Don't forget about the Solomon's library, Augustine house library, and many more. The Student Zone will help you out with anything you need for an easier university life, no matter if it's buying a bicycle, free gym 4-month membership for new students and after that you only need to pay a very affordable price for a high-quality and brand new gym. I also joined an equestrian society, which is the best decision I have ever made: meeting friendly horse-lover fellows, got discounted riding lessons in a very lovely yard, relaxing venture on a horse to the woods. Of course, I cannot forget to mention Canterbury itself, which might as well be one of the most beautiful city you will ever visit in the UK. As a local university student, I can visit one of the biggest Gothic church of England - the Canterbury Cathedral - for free. The streets are already beautiful, you can go anywhere and a good photoshoot is guaranteed. But I would definitely recommend going to the parks on a sunny morning, reading a book, having a picnic with your friends, experiencing a real-life scene of "The Secret Garden". Only 45 minutes away from London, 30 minutes away to the beach, you will never feel bored in this lovely city.

As an international student, I was so worried that I won't be able to catch up with my peers. Luckily, CCCU offers so many support. You can improve your learning skills from booklets for everything you can think of - academic writing, using open AI in your essay, reading skills, organization skills, etc. If you want to enhance those skills much more, there are so many courses you can take on the CCCU's website. When it comes to study a post-graduate course in Psychology, especially if you want to be trained to be a BPS-credited clinical psychologist, the most important thing is to have a great support from your lecturers and supervisors. CCCU's lecturers are highly experienced, with a wide range of research interests and expertises and have been providing me with amazing insights and advice on my research project. If you want a research paper and education background that look great on your CV, using the lab with virtual reality, eye tracking, functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy, etc. for experiment is the best choice - and CCCU has everything. Taking an MSc in Psychology is never easy. But, with the support and resources that the lecturers provide, both before and after sessions, as well as the records on Blackboard, you would never miss out anything and get behind with your studying.

If you love to travel, staying in Pin Hill is the top choice: you would literally be right the opposite of the Canterbury East Station. It only takes 20 minutes to walk to main campus, and 10 minutes to one of the biggest library of Canterbury - Augustine house. Pin Hill is also bring great vibrant of culture - the students are from everywhere, they are always very friendly and supportive. Security is the top priority here. I remembered walked out at night and saw a drunk guy making so much noise on the street, and the security staff came to me right away to escort me back to my flat. With the cheapest price for an accommodation that you could possibly find in Canterbury, my flat is small, but cozy, well-maintained, and very clean. If you had any problems with the facilities, calling a repair would only take like half a day.

I study at Salomons which is feels like quite a separate place from Canterbury Christchurch main campus, however, being right in the centre of Tunbridge Wells is extremely handy for transport and lunch breaks. The building is always clean and there is always great staff support.

The course is a mix of online and in-class which works really well. We tend to have lots of external teachers come in, which is helpful as provides current practical knowledge.
