Some of the best aspects of Canterbury Christ Church University include its location in the historic city of Canterbury, its strong focus on student support and wellbeing, and its diverse range of academic programs. The university is known for its small class sizes, which allow for more personalized attention from professors, and its commitment to experiential learning through internships, work placements, and community engagement. Canterbury Christ Church University is also recognized for its high-quality facilities, including modern libraries, research centers, and sports facilities, as well as its range of extracurricular activities and clubs. However, some potential drawbacks of studying at Canterbury Christ Church University could include the high cost of living in Canterbury, especially for students who need to live on or near campus. Students may also face limited accommodation options, and there may be some issues with communication and organization within the university administration. Additionally, some students have noted that the university could do more to promote diversity and inclusivity on campus. Overall, Canterbury Christ Church University is a well-regarded institution that provides a supportive and engaging learning environment for students, but there are always opportunities for improvement, and the university may benefit from continued efforts to enhance the student experience and address the needs and concerns of its diverse student body.

Canterbury Christ Church is a friendly and welcoming university, being a city based university means that we get to explore historical Canterbury whilst studying in great facilities and meeting new people. The sporting and societal communities here are like huge families, and the opportunities that have come from these alongside my course, being a student ambassador and being on campus are amazing! The university will improve by continuing to develop and modernise its facilities, the new STEM building 'Verena Holmes' is outstanding, and the plans to develop the rest of campus will benefit the university as a whole.

Best - Facilities. My course is based in the newest building in the uni, Verona Holmes. It’s modern and incredible. The simulation suite is my favourite part as aspects of my course can be simulated to aid my learning before heading out into clinical placement and practicing the skills simulated for real. The location is perfect and near everything a student could need. The library is also absolutely amazing and has every book that I could need/want for my course! Worst - Communication between lecturer and student regarding timetables etc at the start of each year. The same problems arise frequently regarding room organisation and lectures. This can be down to individual lecturers however, the room booking system is a problem university wide. It needs improving. The room allocated for a lecture can impact the way that teaching is given

A lot of well-being support but not informed about in lectures/courses more online and posters. Lots of safety measurements are put in place e.g., volunteers on popular routes over the weekend evenings. Not a lot of free, fun activities to do outside of the University.
