A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US We’re a modern, multi campus University with around 17,000 students and nearly 2,000 staff. We’ve been around for more than 50 years and we’re one of only a handful of universities to have a campus in a World Heritage Site – within walking distance of the high street and the internationally important Canterbury Cathedral. We offer hundreds of different courses in many subjects from teacher education and nursing, to arts and humanities and social sciences, and our students and graduates are playing a really important part in communities across the UK and internationally. They’re working in schools, hospitals, the creative industries, business and sciences, sharing their knowledge and skills, and contributing hugely to their economies. Our research and teaching also say a lot about who we are and how we’re making a difference in society. A lot of our work is linked to important social issues from research around migration and HIV diagnosis, to cybercrime and stem cell research. And whilst our campuses and centres are in Kent and Medway, a lot of what we do takes us across the globe, with major partnerships in Palestine, Greece and Vietnam, to name but a few, which makes us both a national and global University.

INTRODUCTION FROM THE VICE-CHANCELLOR In a fast-moving, competitive world, your choice of university will make a huge difference to your future. At Christ Church, our courses are designed to give you the higher education you want, and the advantages and skills you need to make your own contribution to the world around you.

When you choose your university, you are making one of the biggest decisions of your life. One that will affect you professionally, intellectually and personally, and set you on the road to a successful and fulfilling future. Here at Christ Church, we ensure that everything we do is focused on your future and reflects the confidence you have put in us. Our distinctive academic approach puts you in partnership with research-involved academics - emphasising the development of your professional practice through real-world experience. We teach on three campuses, and each has its own distinct character. So whether you are based in cosmopolitan Canterbury, historic Medway, or the beautiful seaside town of Broadstairs, you will be enjoying high-quality teaching in an inspirational and motivating environment.

We are also proud to be an extremely diverse community, one which places a high value on individuality and equality. Our students come from over 60 different countries, and include mature and part-time students, as well as those studying for postgraduate qualifications. Our academic and professional services staff are committed to your success. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been helping students achieve their academic and career potential for over 50 years, and are proud that last year 95% of our UK undergraduate leavers were employed or in further study six months after completing their studies. I hope you enjoy this prospectus and we look forward to meeting you at one of our Open Days.

OUR COMMUNITY Welcome to our prospectus. You will find lots of information to get you started but it is really just a snapshot of life at Canterbury Christ Church University and what you can expect if you decide to study with us. We hope that you like what you see and are encouraged to find out more by visiting our website or our Virtual Open Day.

Our visitors tell us that the warm and welcoming atmosphere they feel as soon as they set foot on campus is one of the things that truly sets us apart. So why not come and meet us at an Open Day or take a campus tour and experience a Christ Church welcome for real.

www.canterbury.ac.uk/studyhere | T: +44 (0)1227 782900

We’re a friendly community here at Christ Church, so from the day you arrive you’ll feel like one of the family. We value diversity and aim to promote equality and inclusivity in everything we do. We welcome students from all over the world, from all backgrounds, of all ages, of all faiths or no faith at all. We want you to succeed, to be happy, to feel comfortable and to express yourself. We’re proud of our nurturing and sympathetic environment, and refuse to tolerate discrimination of any kind. Nearly 50% of our full-time undergraduates are mature students, over the age of 21, and they make an incredibly important contribution to our academic and social life. So if you’ve delayed your studies for a few years, or are coming back to higher education after a longer break, you’ll be in good company.

You might face a number of challenges. These could be financial or family-based, or you might be concerned that your study skills or qualifications aren’t up to scratch. Don’t worry, our Admissions staff are ready to help. We look at each application individually, so if you have some experience but don’t think you have the necessary qualifications to study for a degree, come and talk to us. We want all of our students to realise their ambitions, complete their courses and create bright futures for themselves. And if you’ve already studied at an advanced level, you may even be able to join in year two or three. If you want to contact us to discuss your individual situation, we’re at: admissions@canterbury.ac.uk

PART-TIME STUDENTS

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

You may want to combine your current career with academic study. We’ve always had a large number of part-time students, so we can answer any questions you might have about joining us.

As one of our international students, you’ll join a diverse community drawn from over 60 countries. Feeling happy and settled in your new home will make a huge difference to your studies and future success, and we’re ready to give you all the advice you’ll need.

There is a wide range of options available, and most of the subjects in our Single and Joint/Combined Honours courses can be taken part-time. Entry requirements are the same as for any full-time course, and you’ll have access to all the support and facilities we offer to our other students. So from day one, you’ll be a valued and integral part of the thriving Christ Church community. Most part-time students take five or six years to complete an undergraduate degree but if you decide to change to full-time study, you can usually do this after two years.

Our International Office and Admissions team are on hand to help you through the application process and if your first language isn’t English our Academic English Service offers workshops and tutorials to help you to develop your understanding of the language. And throughout your time with us our team of student advisers will be ready to support you in any way – they’ll be just a call away. In your first year as an undergraduate or postgraduate student we offer you priority if you wish to live in our comfortable and homely accommodation. We’ll give you plenty of opportunities to experience life in the UK and have a huge range of clubs and societies for you to join, so get involved, have fun and make the most of your time with us!

CARE LEAVERS If you are, or have been, in care, we’re committed to helping you realise your hopes and aspirations for the future. As one of our students you’ll receive support from a designated member of staff who understands your needs and, in addition to offering financial support, we can make sure you have accommodation in the holidays as well as in term time. Please remember to tick the box on your UCAS form stating that you’ve spent time in care and we’ll get in touch with you before you enrol. The Frank Buttle Trust has recognised the support and encouragement we give to people who are, or have been, in care. To find out more about what we can offer you, please visit:

SUSAN ODEV EDUCATION STUDIES AND HISTORY YEAR 2 I am a mature student and was a little wary about going ‘back to school’. I chose Christ Church for a number of reasons, and once here I learnt that there were lots of opportunities to get involved in university life. And my age was not a barrier, but a positive advantage. As a Student Ambassador for the Outreach team I’ve had many wonderful experiences going out to schools and working with young people who might not normally consider university as an option.

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT

In coming to University we know you’re investing in your future and we’re going to do everything we can to help you get the most out of it. We provide a range of information and services to support you in choosing the right career.

THREE YEARS

AFTER YOU GRADUATE

MATTEO CANEVA, PSYCHOLOGY FINAL YEAR Little did I know back when I applied to Christ Church that I was going to get involved with the University Careers Service and work in a variety of settings. The most valuable experience has been working in the student career advice drop in centre, known as The CORE, assisting students with CVs and suggesting new volunteering and work positions. This role put me in close contact with people in an unassuming and not-for-profit way, which has made me appreciate how valuable it is to have learned a skill that you can share with other people.

BOOST YOUR CV

VOLUNTEERING

The University’s extra-curricular personal and professional development award rewards students for activities such as part-time work, volunteering and summer internships. With access to our programme of events, it is the perfect way for you to make the most of your time at University to prepare for your future.

Volunteering can help you gain new skills, meet people and prepare you for life after your studies. It can also be enormously rewarding and enjoyable. Whatever your interest there are always organisations out there which need extra help. Christ Church’s Volunteering Service has a friendly team ready to offer advice about available opportunities.

Future employers are looking for more than a degree – they are also interested in graduates’ interpersonal skills developed through extra-curricular activities. With the Christ Church Extra Award these will be listed on your final degree transcript, demonstrating that you’ve made the most of your time here.

“After three years I can honestly say that taking this degree was the best decision of my life so far. I’ve met so many wonderful people, been taught by some of the best teaching staff I’ve ever had the fortune to encounter and gotten my hands on the most impressive arsenal of filmmaking equipment I have ever seen. If you are looking to do a media degree anywhere then do it at Canterbury Christ Church University.” Hayden Stevens Film, Radio and Television graduate

“I loved all the lab exercises, very interesting, great equipment! What I liked the most about my experience was the way lecturers delivered the lectures. They are funny, experienced, full of great stories, and make studying a lot more fun and enjoyable. They were always ready to help any time I needed a tutorial or had a question/problem.”

Alex Davies, Policing graduate

Denitsa Lazarova Forensic Investigation graduate

“Thank you for making me love Sociology even more than I did before and encouraging me to explore it further in areas I would have never thought of.” Alice Rowe, Sociology graduate

“One of the greatest opportunities I have had was the chance to do an internship with Buzzlines Travel, a popular coach company in Kent.

When you’re deciding which university is right for you there are many things to consider but probably the most important are the structure of your chosen course and the quality of the teaching. Your Open Day visit (see page 7) is a great chance to meet tutors and talk to them about the quality of teaching you’ll enjoy with us – we pride ourselves on the amount of contact time our students receive. You’ll also be able to find out more about research that underpins and informs our courses. Many of our academics are active participants in their related professions and industries and, in addition to their teaching roles at Christ Church, produce world-class research. We also have partnerships and links with potential employers and universities worldwide, which will help to enrich your experience with us and prepare you for your future career. Canterbury Christ Church University is committed to working in partnership with its students to deliver the best possible student experience. Our Partners in Learning initiative brings students and staff together to work on a range of exciting enhancement projects across the University. Becoming a Partner in Learning is not only a great opportunity to help enhance your own and others’ experience at University, you can also develop valuable workplace skills. Our Academic Learning Development service provides academic support for all students. You don’t have to be struggling with your studies to benefit from our guidance. Right from the start, you’ll have access to online resources and the opportunity to meet with our staff to gain support in developing and enhancing your academic skills. Individual and small group consultation sessions are available on a range of academic topics, such as essay structure, referencing and avoiding plagiarism, critical analysis, presentation skills, revision skills and exam techniques. All students also have access to our confidential, flexible peer mentoring service. Pre-arrival peer mentoring assists you with the transition to university life; pastoral peer mentoring guides you with any challenges you may experience; and academic peer mentoring, which is available within some programmes, provides more in-depth academic assistance.

LIBRARY Our award-winning library in Canterbury has over 900 study places - creative spaces for group work, bookable group study rooms and a silent area where you can work on your own. With over 340,000 books, more than 11,000 print journals, 11,500 e-journals and 25,000 e-books available 24/7 via LibrarySearch, you’re sure to be able to find the information you need. The libraries at Broadstairs, Medway and the Salomons Centre focus on material used on the courses taught at these locations. Library staff are dedicated to helping you make full use of our resources and you can get specialist support and training from our librarians.

BOOKSHOP Our bookshop is one of the largest university-owned academic bookshops in the UK with over 30,000 titles, essential stationery for your studies and a wide range of official University merchandise. We hold textbooks recommended by tutors and offer a convenient next-day collection service. Books are automatically discounted by 10% with many ‘book-bundles’ tailored to your course requirements and special offers throughout the year. The bookshop on the Canterbury Campus is opposite the Touchdown Cafe - so perfectly located for a relaxing browse.

ALANA SPEAKMAN-BELL MENTAL HEALTH NURSING, SECOND YEAR The reason I chose my course was because I have always had a passion for helping and caring for others. I previously studied A-level Health and Social Care with nursing in mind as a course to study at university and was looking for somewhere that offered placements in care settings. Christ Church offered this so I knew that Mental Health Nursing was the course for me. At Christ Church I have had the opportunity to attend the Academic Learning Development workshops where I was able to ask for advice with various issues such as referencing and revision techniques. My advice to a new student beginning at Christ Church would be to attend the workshops the team run and see what they offer. If you are having difficulty with academic work they are happy to give individual advice and tips, to help you to improve and succeed.

A WELCOMING UNIVERSITY As a Church of England Foundation University which welcomes students and staff of all faiths and none, we actively promote diversity and equality of opportunity. We’re proud that we have students from across the UK and the world studying at Christ Church, exchanging ideas, values and experiences. Our facilities cater for different faiths, including a Canterbury-based Chapel, a Muslim Prayer Room, a Buddhist Meditation Room, and Quiet Rooms in all campuses. These rooms are supported and supervised by the University Chaplaincy team, who continually review the need for additional dedicated space. The Chaplaincy itself has been around as long as the University has been here, offering a wide range of activities and opportunities to all staff and students. Working with people of all faiths and none, the Chaplaincy co-ordinates all of the religious provision within the University, as well as seeking to build a community and provide safe spaces for people to talk and share issues. To find out more, visit:

www.canterbury.ac.uk/chaplaincy

MEGAN STOTT, GEOGRAPHY, SECOND YEAR I stumbled across the Chapel when ‘Sing Pray Eat’ was happening and so I went in to see what was going on. I never looked back. The events, ministry and people within the Chapel are an important part of my student life and weekly routine. As an active member of the Chapel, I have been a steward twice in the Cathedral for Carols by Candlelight (the University’s amazing Christmas carol service) and made some wonderful friends. Being a member of the Chapel is possibly one of the best decisions I have made at university.

FUNDING YOUR DEGREE Higher Education is free at the point of entry and you can get help with living costs too. The government, via the Student Loans Company, offers loans to cover your Tuition Fees and assist with your living expenses while you are studying. Tuition Fee Loans are available to everyone, no matter their age or background, for full- and part-time higher education courses (the latter has to be at a 25% intensity of a full-time course). The exceptions to this are if you have already got a higher education qualification or if you are an overseas student; however, the Department of Health intends that students studying nursing, midwifery and the allied health subjects as a second degree will be able to get students loans. Maintenance Loans (living cost funding) are currently only available to full-time Home students. See www.slc.co.uk for more information about the Student Loans Company. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a full-time Home student you can apply for a Maintenance Loan. This is a loan available to help you with the day-to-day costs of going to university (a place to live, food, travel and course materials, for example). The amount you can borrow depends on where you live and study and your household income. You can apply for your Maintenance Loan when you apply for your Tuition Fee Loan. For more information see

www.gov.uk/studentfinance In addition, the University offers a range of grants, bursaries and scholarships to eligible students. For more information see

www.canterbury.ac.uk/study-here/ funding-your-degree On gaining a place in higher education, many students may wish to find part-time employment to supplement their income whilst studying. Unitemps is Canterbury Christ Church Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recruitment service to students, graduates and the community. Unitemps offers part-time and vacation work, internships, placements and full-time work opportunities both within the University and in the local area. See our website for more details:

SUPPORTED ALL THE WAY Whatever journey you have taken prior to finding us, we understand that taking that final leap and making an application can be both exciting and daunting. You will probably still have lots of questions about your studies and university life. Once you have accepted an offer to study with us, there are many opportunities to find out more through our Student Portal, meet new friends through our student led Facebook groups and take advantage of the support and knowledge of a current Christ Church student through our peer mentoring scheme.

GRAHAM EARL, DOCTOR OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES Like many other mature students coming to higher education, I was not identified as having learning disabilities whilst in compulsory education, being described as ‘one that fell through the net’ at a later stage in my life. Higher education was perceived as an unattainable goal, with good reason. I was diagnosed as having dyslexia in my first year of University; the support I received in the form of dyslexia personal one to one support, and department support in my subject area of science, made dealing with the additional task of dealing with dyslexia manageable and levelled the playing field of academia considerably. I am now a Doctor in Biological Sciences and a nationally recognised researcher in Coastal Eco-hydrology. None of this would have been possible without the support from everyone at Christ Church who took a chance on me.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE SUPPORT

If English isn’t your first language, our Academic English Service is available to you offering assessments, tutorials and classes to help you to develop English for academic purposes. Why not try volunteering with us? You can develop useful skills and make social contacts by joining in with some of the University’s non-academic activities which include: • representing us on our information desk, dealing with enquiries and making bookings for us • helping us at Open Days and other events • planting, growing (and eating!) the plants on our allotments • meeting as a Focus Group, discussing issues and future plans for our service We also pay students to work for us as writing mentors helping students with assignment writing, and as administrative assistants.

DIALA NIKOLAEVA HISTORY/MARKETING GRADUATE While I was doing my undergraduate degree in the Business School, I was referred to the Academic English Service by my tutor after failing an essay, as English is not my first language, and I started to attend the workshops offered. Soon after, I became their first volunteer and within six months I was a paid member of the Academic English Service team. My line manager and colleagues have always been extremely supportive and inspirational. My language and work skills have dramatically improved and I feel much more confident in my communication. My position as Research Assistant gave me the opportunity to apply the knowledge I gained on my course in a real world working environment. It has been a great journey working for Canterbury Christ Church University and it started with my approach to the Academic English Service.

‘CANTERBURY’S PAST IS AS RICH AS IT COMES’ LONELY PLANET

Kent is known as ‘The Garden of England’, and with good reason. Beautiful countryside, picturesque villages, stunning coastal scenery and cosmopolitan city life. It’s also the perfect gateway to the rest of the UK and continental Europe. Take a look at the map and you’ll see how well connected Kent is. London is less than an hour from Canterbury by high-speed train and the continent is within easy reach. Major international airports offer flights to every corner of the globe. Over the years, people from around the world have been drawn to the region and have built up vibrant communities. So wherever you’re from, you can be sure you’ll make new friends, enjoy new experiences and broaden your horizons.

C ANTERBURY Canterbury’s World Heritage Site status means this city is one of the country’s ‘must see’ destinations. You’ll be right at the heart of this great student city. With historic streets, ancient city walls, lively bars, cosy pubs, exciting clubs and top-class restaurants, there’s something for everyone. And, of course, you’ll be within walking distance of one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world. As a student destination it’s hard to beat. So if you join us, you’ll be safe in the knowledge that you’re studying in a truly special European city.

BROADSTAIRS Broadstairs is a perfect seaside town. Here you’ll find breathtaking sandy beaches, a great mix of live arts and music venues and a variety of independent places to shop, eat and drink. Close by, Margate has a vintage, retro feel with classic seaside heritage attractions as well the cutting-edge Turner Contemporary gallery. In neighbouring Ramsgate, you’ll find pavement cafes and waterfront bars clustered around a yachtpacked marina. Three seaside towns, almost touching mainland Europe yet only 75 minutes from central London.

MEDWAY The Medway Campus is close to the historic naval town of Chatham and the beautiful cathedral city of Rochester. The campus itself is in an area known as Chatham Maritime, where major developments have created a student-friendly quarter with a real village atmosphere. Here you’ll find a multiplex cinema, a shopping centre and a fully equipped sports centre. London is under an hour away by train.

CANTERBURY CAMPUS

Built in the grounds of the ancient St Augustine’s Abbey, and within sight of Canterbury’s world-famous cathedral, our Canterbury Campus continues a learning tradition that was established over 1,400 years ago. We’re proud to be part of a World Heritage Site and although we’re in a busy, cosmopolitan city with a rich programme of festivals and culture, the fields, orchards and woodlands of The Garden of England are right on our doorstep. And although we value our links with the past, our focus is firmly on the future - our future and your future. Recent multi-million pound city developments have created an award-winning library in Augustine House, St Gregory’s Centre for Music in a converted church and St George’s Student Centre.

www.canterbury.ac.uk/studyhere | T: +44 (0)1227 782900

Our superb Sports Centre offers basketball, netball, badminton and volleyball courts, a fitness suite and an aerobics studio. And if you play hockey, tennis, cricket, Lacrosse or croquet, the 47 acre Polo Farm Sports Club is just outside the city. And if you’re a music fan, you’ll be spoilt for choice at Christ Church – from intimate gigs by student rock bands at The Lounge and Dwell café bar to world-class concerts by internationally renowned classical musicians. In recent years, the Students’ Union Summer Ball has featured acts as diverse as Labrinth and Foxes. You’ll find just about everything you need on campus, from a well-stocked bookshop and quiet study corners to lively coffee bars, cafés and a food court – wherever you go you’ll find somewhere to work or catch up with your friends.

15 YEAR VISION

FOR OUR CANTERBURY CAMPUS

As a University that’s always innovating and thinking ahead to the future, we are exploring exciting plans to transform our Canterbury Campus. We recently bought the former Canterbury Prison site next to our main campus in Canterbury which gives us a great opportunity to provide new and expanded space for learning, teaching and research over the next 10 to 15 years. The plans* will give further opportunity to provide an exceptional student experience in first-class facilities, adding to our award-winning Augustine House library and city-based St George’s Centre. In line with other projects, students will be involved in the planning and design stages. It’s early days and these plans are looking way ahead into the future, but they show how seriously we take our investment in the student experience and how we want to provide you, and future generations of students, with the very best facilities.

PRIVATELY RENTED ACCOMMODATION University accommodation isn’t for everyone, so you might want to rent privately. There are plenty of options, but a good place to start looking is our web page:

www.canterbury.ac.uk/private-sector-accommodation

As University accommodation is reserved for first year students, you will need to take up private accommodation in subsequent years. Students usually decide to share with like-minded friends, but if you have any questions, our Accommodation staff will be on hand to advise you. We hold an Accommodation Fair in January to help you find a home in the private sector.

BROADSTAIRS If your course is taught in Broadstairs, en suite study bedrooms and flats with shared kitchens are available less than 150 metres from the campus teaching rooms and café bar. When required, there may be headleased properties available close by and, because the town is compact, you’ll usually find the shops and facilities you need are not far away.

IF YOU HAVE A DISABILITY Our Disability Advice team can help if you need specially adapted rooms or facilities. To make sure you’re happy that everything you’ve asked for has been provided we may be able to arrange a visit for you to check your accommodation before you start your studies.

“At Christ Church we believe that disabled students must have the same opportunities to be active as fully abled students. The vast majority of our sports sessions are flexible and allow for disabled participants and 75% of our brand new gym equipment is built with easy access compatibility for students with disabilities. In recent years, we have made significant progress in raising the profile of disability sports at Christ Church, by showcasing various inclusive activities to students to make them aware of what is on offer to them. “As the current Sport Ambassador with the remit for inclusion, I work with students with disabilities on an individual basis and help them to engage in activities. We understand the difficulties disabled people have in accessing sport and physical activity opportunities, so if we are unable to provide the sport you are interested in directly, you can rely on us to link you into suitable opportunities in the local area.” Benjamin Ady 3rd Year Sports Science student and Playsport Inclusive Activities Leader

“Joining a sports club at university not only helps you to find friends but it makes you improve many important life skills. As soon as I joined tennis, I realised that this may be an individual sport but at university we work as a team. Everyone has a different role, which keeps us working towards our goals. Now that we have a new Sports Centre at Polo Farm we can increase our training sessions. We have more opportunities to work with other students as well as attend sport workshops.“ Noemi Vadaszy 2nd Year Sport and Exercise Science with Psychology (Combined) student, Sport Scholar, Sport Ambassador

IMMERSE YOURSELF YOURSELF IN IN IMMERSE

ARTS AND CULTURE Music and the creative arts are at the centre of life here. And our vibrant, year-round programme of concerts, exhibitions and events aims to inspire and excite you. When it comes to indulging in your passion for the arts, at Christ Church there’s something for everyone. From the finest world-renowned theatre companies and dance artists, to classical orchestras and rock bands, creative writing seminars and painting workshops – whatever your interests, you’ll have the opportunity to join in or simply watch something special. A programme of Public Lectures, talks and masterclasses adds to the mix, and the Students’ Union organises openmic nights, comedy clubs, gigs and other entertainment. We’re a proud Partner and Principal Sponsor of the Canterbury Festival, Kent’s International Arts Festival, which takes place every October. With 200 events in and around the city, the Festival attracts some of the finest national and international artists – a feast of culture right on your doorstep.

Christ Church is also the first and only Creative Partner of the Creative Foundation’s Folkestone Book Festival and the first Creative Research Partner of the internationally renowned Whitstable Biennale. If involvement in the arts is what you’re looking for, you could join our Arts Extra scheme – an opportunity to get some great experience in arts marketing, behind the scenes, or front of house, as well as getting recognition for your work.

MUSIC AND THE PERFORMING ARTS Music is a major feature of life at Christ Church, and St Gregory’s Centre – an historic former church on the Canterbury Campus – is a beautiful space to enjoy a concert. Sympathetically refurbished with superb acoustics and lighting, it seats 150. Rehearsal, teaching and private practice rooms are available in the nearby Maxwell Davies building, and we have established exciting working partnerships with a number of internationally renowned musicians. If you’re studying the Performing Arts, you’ll be able to enjoy recently upgraded specialist facilities, including a new dance studio with a fully sprung floor, and additional practice space that can accommodate two dance teaching groups, each with their own sound and lighting systems.

ANDREW TURNBALL, PHOTOGRAPHY STUDENT, BROADSTAIRS CAMPUS As a first year photography student, Arts Extra is a great outlet for me as it allows me to gain real life professional photography practice whilst getting the support of the arts and culture team. You get the opportunity to go to some really fun events and then talk about and promote them to other students whilst volunteering. Having your images up for people to see is great but it’s the skills and confidence you gain by working with others, talking to people at the events and thinking about where and how your images will get presented, that you can’t learn in a lecture. My advice to other students is just to get involved from day one and do whatever it is you do. If you’re a photographer, photograph every day, every sport event and every gig; if you’re a graphic designer work on as many album covers, gig posters, websites and blogs as you can; work with Arts Extra, PlaySport… Whatever it is you do, DO IT!

CANTERBURY AND THE ARTS Canterbury hosts a year-round feast of artistic and cultural delights. The Gulbenkian Theatre offers music, drama, comedy and film, while the beautiful cathedral is the setting for atmospheric music concerts, often by our own students. The Marlowe Theatre is famous for its world-class theatrical productions, and a second auditorium is a dedicated venue for community events and performances. If you’re based at one of our other campuses, you won’t be missing out. Regular gigs are held at the Dwell café bar and other venues in Broadstairs, and Medway’s own St George’s Centre is a great place to enjoy concerts and talks. Further afield, you’ll find the Turner Contemporary gallery in Margate, and Whitstable, Herne Bay, Ramsgate and many other local towns and villages have a great selection of arts centres and festivals. And, of course, London and all that is has to offer is just under an hour away from Canterbury.

ST GEORGE’S CENTRE With its city centre location, The Lounge and café, the St George’s Student Centre is an ideal student venue for music, performance and socialising. And it’s also home to our Students’ Union, so all the entertainment information you want is right where you need it.

THE SIDNEY COOPER GALLERY The Sidney Cooper is Canterbury’s premier modern art gallery and is dedicated to showing work of the highest quality. University staff, students and local and national artists exhibit here throughout the year, and lively lectures and workshops encourage the public to get hands-on with the creative process.

ANSELM STUDIOS For developing your performance and theatrical production skills, Anselm Studios provides two flexible studio spaces, perfect for theatre, drama, dance and music students. Opened in 2013, you’ll enjoy up-to-date sound systems and lighting rigs, with theatre-standard equipment, and a dance studio with sprung floor, mirrors and sound proofing.

SUSTAINABILITY We’re committed to promoting sustainability and creating a positive future for you and everyone who works at Canterbury Christ Church University. We’ve also won a first class award in the People and Planet Green League three years running, and in 2015 were shortlisted for no less than three Green Gown Awards by the Environmental Association of Universities and Colleges which amongst other things recognises our Edible Campus initiative. There are wonderful grounds for you to explore across the campus network which are maintained by our dedicated Gardens team. These include wildflower banks, a heritage orchard and our very own beehives which all encourage biodiversity. Like any city, Canterbury has its share of traffic problems, and we’ll help you to do your bit to solve these. You can use cycle racks, lockers and showers at all our locations, and ride a free shuttle service between our Canterbury campus sites. If you’re a driver and want to cut the cost of your commute and reduce congestion and pollution, you can join 5HARE, the Kent-wide car sharing scheme and get reduced price park and ride tickets.

We also enjoy full Fairtrade University status – this helps to guarantee good prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. Closer to home, our Roast and Grill Bar has a Bronze Award Food for Life Accreditation and our Touchdown Cafés are proud to serve you food based on fresh, locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. If you want to get more actively involved in building a more sustainable future with us, there’s the Student Green Office (SGO), a student-run team supported by the Sustainability Department, which exists to engage fellow students in sustainability. The SGO provides opportunities for volunteering, work experience and paid roles, and maintains an active blog, Facebook page and Twitter feed with thoughtpieces, news, photos and reviews from students and staff on sustainability issues and events.

You could also get involved with the Edible Campus project, where you can grow your own fruit, vegetables and herbs in on-campus allotments, learn about bee-keeping and hop-growing and take part in annual honey and hop harvests from which we produce our own Christ Church beer and honey. Finally, our Futures Initiative team is working hard alongside staff and students from various disciplines and schools across the University to find new and innovative ways to embed sustainability and sustainable thinking into as much of our curriculum as possible.

You will have the opportunity to take part in an annual field trip to a major US city such as New York, or to apply to spend a semester or full year studying at a university in North America. Visit www. canterbury.ac.uk/studynorthamerica for more information.

WHAT WILL I STUDY? The American Studies course offers a variety of modules in three strands: history, literature and media, and foreign policy and politics. Year one consists of introductory modules for which you need no previous knowledge of the USA, and thus provides the building blocks for future study. In years two and three, you can focus on a particular strand or mix and match modules from all strands if you prefer. We are proud to offer an exciting range of optional modules each year, all of which are related to, and informed by, the research that we are doing. The nature and content of these modules will vary, as we seek to provide you with modules that are in line with our current research interests, and fresh with the most up-todate thinking on a particular topic. Examples of subjects covered in option modules have ranged from American Indian history and American modernism to the Black Freedom Movement and US foreign policy. You will also have the opportunity to develop your own research interests in American Studies by taking on an Extended Essay (year two) and a Dissertation (year three). American Studies is assessed entirely by coursework.

AMERICAN STUDIES WITH A YEAR/ SEMESTER IN NORTH AMERICA If you take the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;American Studies with a Semester in North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; programme you will do a three year degree, spending the first term of your final year in the US or Canada at one of our partner institutions. The credits taken during that semester are then transferred back to Canterbury Christ Church University to count towards your degree overall, and you will graduate â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;with a Semester in North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on your transcript. If you take a 'with a year in North America ' programme you will do a four year degree, spending your third year in the US or Canada at one of our partner institutions. This year is non-credit bearing, so does not count towards your degree overall, but if you successfully pass the year you will graduate with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;with a Year in North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on your transcript. Students are encouraged to take modules in North America that they would not be able to take at Canterbury Christ Church University, and therefore you will develop your understanding of your degree subject. For a full list of our partners and their locations, see our webpages.

WHAT CAN I DO NEXT? Employers are looking for a variety of skills and attributes from graduates such as versatility, critical thinking and the ability to work independently and as part of a team. All of these are developed in our American Studies course. Recent graduates have gone on to further study, and employment in social work, the media, tourism, management, and teaching, but there are few limits to what you can do with an American Studies degree. If you are considering a career in primary or secondary teaching you may wish to combine American Studies with a subject taught in schools such as History or English. 5IJT DPVSTF DBO BMTP CF TUVEJFE PWFS GPVS ZFBST XJUI BO JOJUJBM GPVOEBUJPO ZFBS :FBS GPS UIPTF XJUIPVU UIF GPSNBM FOUSZ RVBMJGJDBUJPOT *U JT EFTJHOFE UP QSPWJEF ZPV XJUI UIF HSPVOEJOH ZPV OFFE UP QSPHSFTT PO UP UIJT EFHSFF 4FF QBHF GPS NPSF JOGPSNBUJPO

BSc single honours or in combination with another subject

WHY STUDY ANIMAL SCIENCE WITH US? Recent changes in animal welfare laws in Britain have meant that there is now more control and regulation of all animal-based enterprises. This has resulted in a greater need for a scientific approach to animal management and welfare across all businesses that work with animals. These sectors require well-prepared animal scientists, able to apply their knowledge to emerging management issues. This course seeks to provide you with a stimulating and challenging experience, and is intended for those aspiring to work in animal care, welfare or animal-based industries, from zoos and wildlife parks, to pet shops, veterinary situations, farms and wildlife conservation. Special consideration is given to scientific understanding of animal physiology and welfare. This programme also provides a vehicle for the development of a set of transferable skills appropriate to a wide range of animal care, welfare and management settings, and for further advanced study.

WHAT WILL I STUDY? During your first year, a set of compulsory modules covers introductory biology, plant taxonomy and environmental science. The courseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ethos is to integrate the biological and physical sciences together. There is also an emphasis on experimental science, so you learn a wide range of practical techniques, including microbiology and cell culture. In year two, modules probe deeper into animal physiology, animal nutrition, developmental biology and animal behaviour. In year three, modules examine the scientific background to animal health and welfare, and animal pathology. You also carry out a practical research project as part of a final year Individual Study.

The course explores the nature, extent and causes of crime and the methods used to manage criminal behaviour.

We place students at the centre of everything we do. Not only can you be assured of high quality research informed teaching, but also personal and study support.

The three year full-time course moves from a thorough grounding in criminological issues and perspectives to an in-depth critical understanding and application of these ideas to contemporary crime problems. Applied Criminology can be studied as a Single Honours degree or in combination with other courses from across the University. This allows some flexibility and emphasises the multi-disciplinary nature of the degree. The course is built around a number of core modules engaging you in key themes, concepts, debates and a range of optional choices which explore crime topics in more depth and breadth.

WHY STUDY ARCHAEOLOGY WITH US?

CORE MODULES

Archaeology is the study of the human past through its physical remains. It encompasses a range of practical and academic skills that draw on both the natural sciences and the humanities. Kent is rich in heritage and archaeological remains, and Canterbury is one of the most significant historical and cultural centres in Britain. Canterbury Christ Church University is itself situated in a World Heritage Site stretching from the Cathedral to the ruins of St Augustineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Abbey. So what better place to study archaeology?

:FBS â&#x2014;? Archaeological Skills â&#x2014;? Introduction to Prehistoric Archaeology â&#x2014;? Introduction to the Roman World

We offer modules on archaeological techniques and modules dedicated to prehistoric, Roman, and medieval archaeology. You also have the option of undertaking funded fieldwork placements during the summer period. Archaeology is a fascinating and complex subject, and the degree helps you to consolidate a wide range of skills that are attractive to employers in the public and commercial sectors, particularly in areas of heritage, education, conservation, museums, and media.

WHAT WILL I STUDY? The archaeology degree course is designed to provide broad overviews of the human past from early prehistory through to the Renaissance, along with training in key archaeological methods, in the first year of study. These introductory modules equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to pursue more specialised training and in-depth study of the human past in subsequent years of the course. Year one modules introduce you to a range of archaeological techniques â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as excavation, survey, skeletal analysis, and artefact study â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and to the archaeology of the prehistoric, Roman, and Medieval periods. In year two, you take part in an archaeological excavation (or equivalent) and also have the option of undertaking further technical training in, for example, artefact analysis and archaeological computing. Year two modules also examine the social and anthropological aspects of archaeological interpretation in more depth. In year three, you can choose to undertake a second fieldwork placement in addition to research-focused modules on heritage studies and on the prehistoric, Roman and medieval periods. You also have the opportunity to develop your own archaeological research by taking an Individual Study.

WHY STUDY ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION WITH US? Communication underpins how we, as human beings, function and operate in just about every area of our lives â&#x2C6;&#x2019; the appropriate use of language and communication is the basis for success in virtually every domain of human activity, from politics, to business, to all areas of work, even to personal and family life. This course offers you the tools to understand the many complex and fascinating ways in which language and communication work in the world, and also to improve your own abilities and skills in communication and daily discourse. The aim of the English Language and Communication degree is to allow you to develop an in-depth understanding of the English language and its role in the world, as well as an in-depth understanding of communication in terms of how it functions at interpersonal, public, group and intercultural levels. The English language is the dominant language of international communication and with increasing globalisation, it is important to have a refined understanding of the nature and structure of English and how we communicate with each other. An understanding of the various dimensions of language and communication will give you the ability to communicate more effectively in this complex, globalised world.

WHAT WILL I STUDY? You will study a range of modules focusing either on language or communication (although there is a great deal of crossover between the modules). You will develop both your ability to understand language and communication, as well as the ability to investigate these areas. In each year, you will study a range of compulsory modules that cover the key concepts and ideas in language and communication. As you progress into the second and third years, you will have the opportunity to study optional modules that focus either on professional applications of language and communication, or on areas with a more traditional academic focus. Options offered in the second and third years have included how to teach English as a foreign language, international business communication as well as an option on the history of the English language.

HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED? The majority of modules offer more than one type of assessment being either a mixture of coursework and examination, or just coursework. With coursework, there is a range of assessments that includes more than the traditional essay and assignment. For many assessments, students collect authentic samples of language and communication for analysis and interpretation. Portfolios are a means of assessment in those modules concerned with the practical application of language and communication. Presentations occur in many modules. Finally, with examinations, they are not just restricted to the traditional essay question, but are concerned with the analysis of examples of language and communication as well as problem solving of case studies using English language and communication theory, knowledge and skills.

WHAT CAN I DO NEXT? The analytical and communication abilities that an English Language and Communication degree provides are called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;transferable skillsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and are considered desirable in almost any occupation. Because of its flexibility, this degree lets you choose from many different employment sectors and occupations. Teaching and social work are common career destinations; working in communication training is another. A large number of graduates choose to work in a creative field, like journalism, advertising, PR or marketing. There are also many opportunities for further study and academic work. 5IJT DPVSTF DBO BMTP CF TUVEJFE PWFS GPVS ZFBST XJUI BO JOJUJBM GPVOEBUJPO ZFBS :FBS GPS UIPTF XJUIPVU UIF GPSNBM FOUSZ RVBMJGJDBUJPOT *U JT EFTJHOFE UP QSPWJEF ZPV XJUI UIF HSPVOEJOH ZPV OFFE UP QSPHSFTT PO UP UIJT EFHSFF 4FF QBHF GPS NPSF JOGPSNBUJPO

WHY STUDY ENGLISH LITERATURE? English Literature at degree level is a subject that develops your communication skills and fosters independent critical thinking. Anybody who likes to read, who feels curious about the questions that reading raises, and who values the opportunity to share with others the discoveries to which such questions lead, will find that the subject brings benefits and rewards extending far beyond graduation. All our lecturers are passionate about their specialisms and committed to supporting their students. The modules on offer travel down the ages, from the Anglo-Saxon era to contemporary writing, and look at what makes the literature of each period distinctive. Whatever options you choose, you will find yourself reading and responding to a range of absorbing and intriguing literary texts. The process of studying these will stimulate the exercise of informed critical judgement, the analysis and evaluation of evidence, and the practice of thinking, writing, and arguing with clarity, cogency, and precision.

WHAT WILL I STUDY? Our single honours course provides a comprehensive study of the subject. After a grounding in literary history and key theoretical approaches in year one, you will have the freedom to shape your course from a range of modules. This variety gives you the option of specialising in the period/s you have found most intriguing and also allows you to branch out into fresh areas of study. In the third year, your work is further deepened and developed through an extended study of a particular author or topic, written with one-to-one supervision. The same scope for choice is offered to our combined honours students, who experience the intellectual challenges of our subject, while enjoying the opportunity to venture more broadly in another discipline. Our teaching methods are characterised by flexibility and inclusiveness, mixing interactive seminars with formal lectures and individual tutorials, and making use of the latest learning technologies.

CORE MODULES :FBS There are three core modules which are taken by all single and combined honours students: â&#x2014;? â&#x2014;? â&#x2014;?

The Art of Criticism: Writing about Literature Texts and Contexts I: Medieval to 18th Century Texts and Contexts II: Romanticism to the Present

In addition, all single honours students also take the following three modules: â&#x2014;? â&#x2014;? â&#x2014;?

In your second and third years we offer a wide range of exciting optional modules which cover the full span of English literary history from the middle ages to the present day, and the list typically includes study opportunities in medieval, renaissance, eighteenthcentury, romantic, Victorian, twentieth-century and contemporary literature. These modules are informed by the current research of our staff members, so their focus may vary from year to year, as we aim to offer teaching which reflects current thought at the forefront of our subject specialisms. We also update our modules on an annual basis in response to student feedback in evaluations and in regular meetings with academic staff. For more information on these modules and to see the range of likely option modules, please visit our website. In your final year you will have the opportunity to write an extended essay with one-to-one supervision, on a topic which you will decide with the help of an academic supervisor. You will attend several meetings throughout the year with this supervisor, and produce a longer piece of work based on your own independent research and study.

HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED? Assessment is by a combination of coursework assignments and end-of-module exams. The former range from short critical skills assignments to longer academic essays and, in the final year, an opportunity for individual study based on your research interests. Some module options are coursework-only (i.e. no exam), some involve a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;takeawayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; exam, and others involve assessment via work on online discussion boards. This wide variety of assessment methods is designed to help you extend your knowledge, deepen your understanding, and develop your skills in research, analysis, debate and writing.

WHAT CAN I DO NEXT? The analytical and communication abilities that an English Literature degree provides are called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;transferable skillsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and are desirable in almost any occupation. When you are looking for a job, they are often the most valuable skills to have. Because of this flexibility, an English Literature degree lets you choose from many different employment sectors and occupations. Teaching and social work are common career destinations. A large number of graduates choose to work in a creative field, like journalism, advertising, PR or marketing.

WHY STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL BIOLOGY WITH US? Towards the end of the 20th century, it became evident that the resources of our planet are not infinite. In any endeavour, the environment cannot be ignored because we now know that the biosphere of our planet may be fundamentally influenced by human activities. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Biological Revolutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has gathered pace. Now we are engaged in the process of examining the fascinating nature of the molecular biology that underpins all life processes and has led us into the realms of genetic modification. Fantastic discoveries are made every day and, as our knowledge of molecular biology expands, it now falls on biologists to interpret such discoveries in the context of living systems. Environmental biology is the next logical step in taking a holistic approach to organisms and their environments. If you want to be a confident, productive worker in this field, this degree is for you!

WHAT WILL I STUDY? This programme concentrates on a study of the interaction between biology, ecology and the planetary environment. It strongly emphasises biosciences but also provides a background in the physical sciences necessary to monitor and understand the whole subject. The ethos of the programme is to integrate the sciences together, rather than treating them as separate subjects. There is also an emphasis on experimental science, so students learn a wide range of practical techniques, including microbiology and cell culture. Students also carry out a practical research project as part of a final year Individual Study.

UCAS CODES

From the ice wastes of the Antarctic, to the sultry heat of the tropical rain forest, to the incredible biodiversity of a chalk downland in Kent, there is an immense diversity of organisms and geography. Life on the planet (the biosphere) has survived for three thousand million years because of an intricate set of relationships which link water, land and atmosphere. These relationships are now being analysed and modelled by environmental scientists. As we understand more about these relationships, we can respond confidently to new threats such as climate change and loss of biodiversity. Canterbury Christ Church University, based at the heart of Kent (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the garden of Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) is the perfect place for you to make a career out of your interest in the environment.

BA single honours or in combination with another subject, with pathways in Animation, Broadcasting, Film, Radio and Television

WHY STUDY FILM, RADIO AND TELEVISION WITH US? Studying Film, Radio and Television at Canterbury Christ Church University offers the chance to learn about a variety of media before specialisation. In addition, you will be expected to explore the interface between practice and theory in a way that will enhance creativity, analytical skills and communication in a programme that embeds employability into its structure and which is delivered by passionate and approachable staff. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have access to excellent equipment and be encouraged to work both as part of a team and individually in ways that will help to develop transferable skills that are vital in the developing media landscape while simultaneously giving you the opportunity to explore and develop your own relationship with media arts.

WHAT WILL I STUDY? While your first year will revolve around core modules, that introduce you to the three traditional media and theoretical approaches to them, years two and three are shaped by your optional modules and offer a choice of practical and theoretical modules that allow you to specialise but also develop new and complementary skills and interests. We have our own purpose-built specialist facilities where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make films, television shows and radio features in your first year before choosing from a range of optional modules that might include animation, documentary, screenwriting, editing, cinematography and a variety of theoretical modules ranging from American independent cinema or popular television through to editing theory in your second year. In the third year, while you maintain the practice theory balance, you can take a traditional or a mixed media dissertation or you can opt for a course geared at preparing you for a career in the media. Alternatively you might explore the software required for live cinema. Through engagement with a dedicated team of full-time academics, through input from industry professionals as guest speakers, associate lecturers or through their input to the Industry Advisory Panel, you can depend on the programme maintaining industry standards while also allowing you the creative space to explore your own artistic and creative potential and the intellectual stimulation to expand your horizons and challenge yourself daily.

FORENSIC INVESTIGATION

DURATION

BSc single honours or in combination with either Applied Criminology, Archaeology, Biosciences or Psychology

WHY STUDY FORENSIC INVESTIGATION WITH US? We believe that excellent forensic investigators exhibit key features, and our course encourages development of these features in our students. Knowledge of key theory is achieved through the compulsory elements of the curriculum, while optional modules provide variety. Our students report that our curriculum is engaging and exciting, while visiting lecturers state that the course is current, accurate, innovative and aligned to the requirements of forensic employers. Practical experience is vital and allows you to put theory into practice and we house a range of crime scene, laboratory, policing and court facilities to allow you to develop practical skills.

:FBS â&#x2014;? Fire and Explosion Investigation (SHons, FICrim, FIArch, FIPsych) â&#x2014;? Forensic Chemistry (SHons and FIBios only)* â&#x2014;? Interpretation and Presentation of Forensic Evidence (all students)* â&#x2014;? Forensic Individual Study (SHons only) *Likely to be changed this year

High quality mentoring is also important and our staff have all worked as practitioners/researchers in the forensic field and therefore have significant experience that they are able to pass on to you. Finally, selfawareness is a key personal quality for forensic investigators, as it enables you to develop all aspects of your practice and therefore, our ethos is to invest in our students. This investment is highly valued by our students and visiting practitioners, as is the holistic nature of our educational approach.

WHAT WILL I STUDY? The Forensic Investigation degree course enables you to develop a solid foundation in core forensic themes including Crime Scene Investigation, Forensic Science and Interpretation & Presentation of Forensic Evidence (the proportion of each depending on the overall degree title). The course was designed using the QAA Benchmarks for Forensic degree courses, therefore providing you with the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills that are valued by forensic and related employers. To complement these core themes, you will be able to choose from a range of optional modules, including modules exploring police investigation, cybercrime, forensic intelligence, criminal psychology, forensic research, the criminal justice system and specialist forensic disciplines.

CORE MODULES Your core modules will be dependent on your degree title choice. SHons indicates the modules Single Honours students will study. FICrim, FIArch, FIBios, and FIPsych indicate the relevant modules Combined Honours students will study. :FBS â&#x2014;? An Overview of Justice (SHons and FIArch/FIPsych only) â&#x2014;?

HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED? The assessment methods used include various forms of written assignment (e.g. essays, reports, reflective and critical journals & a dissertation), practical reports (e.g. forensic documentation, witness statements, scientific papers &, laboratory reports), presentations (i.e. case study / scientific paper / task group presentations & mock courts), task orientated assignments (e.g. data handling, computer-based assessment and on-line discussions) and examinations (e.g. multiple choice, short answer and essay questions).

WHAT CAN I DO NEXT? This course provides an excellent grounding for any career that involves the collection, analysis and interpretation of evidence, as these skills are taught in core modules and transferable to many careers. The graduate (or key) skills that are routinely required by employers are embedded into the Forensic Investigation curriculum and therefore, graduates are normally able to evidence these skills, preparing them for a range of careers and this is evidenced by ex-students who have secured positions in forensic organisations, police forces, prisons, medical laboratories, schools, universities and many went on to do higher degree study.

WHY STUDY FRENCH WITH US? Canterbury is a great place to study French. The long standing connections between France and Canterbury are symbolised by the fact that the walls of Canterbury Cathedral are built of French stone and are still repaired using that stone today. The city is close to the Channel ports and the tunnel, making travel to France very straightforward. Studying French in combination with another subject will enable you to work in France with confidence, work for a French company in the UK, visit France with greater understanding and enjoyment, or lay the foundations for further study or research. Our classes are small (10-15 students normally) meaning your learning takes place in a friendly and supportive environment. As well as study visits to Northern France, we have many exchanges and activities with students from French universities just across the Channel. We give you the opportunity to study or work in France without this adding an extra year to your three-year degree course. Our course focuses on France and the French since 1945, ranging across a wide selection of topics in French history, society, literature and film. Most of our teaching is delivered in French.

WHAT WILL I STUDY? Each year of study further develops your ability to understand and express yourself in French. We deepen your understanding of how language works and what it means to meet and explore another culture. We place considerable emphasis on translation skills and this is a part of each yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s course. We aim to equip you with the skills to translate a wide range of text types from politics, literature, history and technology to current affairs. You will deepen your knowledge of contemporary France and the French-speaking world by studying a varied range of topics and questions, from New Wave cinema to feminism, from the novels of Michel Houellebecq to the post-war transformation of the French economy. As part of your French degree you are required to spend a minimum of ten weeks studying or working in a French-speaking country. This normally takes the form of either a work placement during the summer at the end of year two or a whole year as an Erasmus student in France, normally in Lille. This module provides you with the all-important opportunity to experience living in a country where French is the major language spoken.

3 years full-time

It has obvious benefits in terms of language expansion at the spoken level and in terms of the acquisition of fluency, pronunciation and intonation. It is also a valuable means of getting a better insight and understanding of local issues, values, customs, and culture. Whether you opt for work-placement or academic study through Erasmus exchanges your stay will contribute in a unique way to your personal development and widening outlook.

Please note, we continually review and where appropriate, revise the range of modules on offer to reflect changes in the subject and ensure the best student experience. We will inform applicants of any changes to the course structure before enrolment.

HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED? There are several types of assessment: â&#x2014;?

â&#x2014;?

Coursework: This includes work done in class as well as at home; for some modules, it is gathered in a portfolio marked as a whole at the end of the year. For other modules, there are also specific pieces of work which will have to be handed in by a specific date. Timed questions (TQ): these are exams which take place in class at specific times and dates set in your subject time table. They are often open-book exams where you are allowed to consult your notes. Final exams: These are set by the University during the month of May. There are never more than two exams per year for French as the majority of assessment is of the first two types.

WHAT CAN I DO NEXT? Graduates have begun careers in a wide range of administrative, managerial and marketing positions. Each year students train as teachers and several enter further study in translation with a view to becoming translators and interpreters. Many find work with the European Union and other international institutions.

WHY STUDY GEOGRAPHY WITH US?

For more information on these modules and to see the range of likely option modules, please visit our website.

Our Geography course reflects the diversity and scope of the subject and introduces you to the major changes in the contemporary world and to the diversity of places, cultures and environments.

Staff are involved in a number of exciting research projects which feed into our teaching, and enjoy keen engagement with students throughout the course. We teach Geography as an applied discipline that gives you a wide range of employment options as a graduate. The main features of our Geography degree include the opportunity for fieldwork in each year, and an emphasis on specialist and transferable skills which will help you in everyday life, further study and employment. We are a small and caring team of geographers in an attractive, historical and vibrant city. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly we offer a valuable teaching and learning in a friendly and supportive environment, where you are not just another face in the crowd.

WHAT WILL I STUDY? The first year follows a common core of six modules which provides the basis for the degree, introducing basic concepts, integrating data collection and analysis, and combining theory and practice in both physical and human geography at a variety of scales from local to global. The importance of understanding issues in sustainable development is introduced and embedded within these modules. The second and third years allow you to develop a degree which suits your particular interests and career aspirations. You will have a choice from a range of human and physical geography modules in addition to modules in GIS.

GEOGRAPHY

DURATION

HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED? A particular feature of the degree is the range of assessment methods employed. These reflect the nature and learning experience of each module and ensure that you are able to develop and demonstrate your ability in a wide range of skills. The methods of assessment used in geography include essays and project reports (including field reports), individual and group oral presentations, portfolios, poster presentations, computer-based assignments (including both quantitative analysis and cartographic work), in addition to examinations. The largest piece of work, the final year Independent Study, gives you the opportunity to work independently on a topic of choice and to produce a dissertation. This is designed to allow you to demonstrate the skills and knowledge you have developed during your degree. Accordingly, assessment procedures will take account of not only your newly acquired knowledge and skills, but also the process of developing skills and the ability to apply such knowledge and skills in the world of work. You will also be encouraged to develop skills of enterprise and self-confidence to equip you for your future career or for postgraduate studies.

WHAT CAN I DO NEXT? A Geography degree develops a wide range of skills that are demanded in the work place. Some of the specialist skills that we develop, such as proficiency in the use of geographical information systems (GIS) have proven to be especially useful for those based in local authority planning departments or working for public bodies such as Transport for London, the National Health Service and the Environment Agency. Our graduates have entered a wide range of careers, both in the public and private sectors. These include cartographer, chartered surveyor, Environment Agency, environmental consultancy, GIS manager, journalism, local government officer, nature conservation officer, remote sensing scientist, retail manager, teacher (primary and secondary), town and country planner.

CORE MODULES

The History programme at Canterbury Christ Church University combines high-quality teaching with internationally acclaimed research in a friendly and supportive learning environment. The student experience is at the very heart of our work with our modules highlyrated by external examiners and the History course as a whole regularly scoring well for overall satisfaction in the annual National Student Survey. When it comes to teaching, the History team seeks to emphasise active and shared learning: you will not only learn from your tutors and from your own individual research and reflection, but also hopefully from your peers. Situated in the beautiful cathedral city of Canterbury, Christ Church is steeped in history and culture and is in many ways the ideal location for the study of history. All our tutors are active research historians who publish on such diverse and fascinating areas as medieval queenship, early modern social history, and modern international history, and our students greatly value being taught not just by teachers of history but by professional historians.

:FBS â&#x2014;? Making History: An Introduction to the Study and Writing of History

WHAT WILL I STUDY? In year one we aim to provide you with a grounding in the main themes and issues relating to the major periods of history (medieval, early modern, modern and contemporary) that you will encounter in years two and three. Beyond this, in year one we aim to help you hone the key skills you will need in order to succeed in your degree studies. In year two examples of subjects covered in option modules have included the Crusades, Fascism and the Cold War. In year three, subjects, have ranged from women in medieval history and the Russian Revolution through to the Vietnam War and the troubles in Northern Ireland. In addition, there is the option to undertake an independent study wiith one-to-one supervision culminating in a 10,000 word research dissertation. The course framework is flexible enough to permit specialisation in certain historical periods in years two and three. Equally, you may continue to vary your module choices much as you did in year one.

Can newspapers survive the digital revolution? If the industry is talking about it we want to learn about it. Working in a free media is not just a rewarding and fascinating career choice but carries responsibilities for the preservation of our democratic society, which is why it's worthy of serious academic study and debate.

WHY STUDY MARKETING WITH US? Consumers today are offered a huge range of products and services in an increasingly competitive environment. Marketing is the management process that responds to this by identifying, anticipating and satisfying a consumerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs so that they choose your product or service over that of a competitor. Marketers also plan and develop the communications that are used by a company or individual to reach their target market. This degree will give you both the practical and the theoretical experience necessary to embark on a career in marketing. You will understand how marketing works, and how it fits within a wider business environment. Applied projects will give you the confidence to put theory into practice and you will be able to explore the interconnected role marketing plays in all organisations. The widespread adoption of marketing means there are numerous opportunities to pursue exciting and varied careers in the profession, and our students go on to work for marketing departments and also for independent marketing agencies.

WHAT WILL I STUDY? Marketing can be studied as a single honours degree, or it can be combined with other Business School subjects such as Advertising, Accounting, Human Resource Management or Business Studies and a variety of subjects from across the University to suit your individual career aspirations. In your first year you will take introductory modules that give you a solid grounding in general business, and in the second and third years you will study marketing planning, market research, consumer behaviour and global marketing. You will also have the opportunity to study digital marketing, including the use of social media and digital technology. All core and optional modules prepare you for a professional career and provide you with the opportunity to gain a broader understanding of the business world.

CORE MODULES

This course provides you with the knowledge and skills needed to apply for registration with the midwifery governing body and practice as a midwife. It is designed to equip you to work as a midwife offering support, care and advice for women during pregnancy, labour and in the early postnatal period.

The role of a midwife entails working autonomously to promote normal birth, identifying changes in pregnancy which might require referral to other health and social care professionals, carrying out emergency procedures when necessary, providing counselling and education for the woman and her family throughout pregnancy and childbirth, and promoting health in the community.

:FBS Year two modules will build on the knowledge gained in year one and will also consider the public health role of the midwife. The taught content includes a consideration of the international context of midwifery practice and the care of women and babies with altered health states.

The midwifery teaching team will share their vast experience and knowledge of contemporary midwifery. Placement areas will provide a diverse experience. We have authentic simulation suites, where you can develop practical skills that will help to set you up for a life-long career in midwifery.

:FBS Year three modules will develop your knowledge further, ensuring you develop the skills to care for women and babies with complex health needs, whilst considering the legal/ethical context of practice and how practice can develop in the future. Throughout each year you will participate in learning and teaching to develop your graduate attributes.

HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED? Written reflective assignments, examinations, practical examinations including OSCEs (which is an Objective Structured Clinical Examination), assessment in practice and presentations.

WHAT CAN I DO NEXT? A wide range of career opportunities are available following registration, for example clinical practice, management, education, research, travel or the armed forces.

WHY STUDY BA MUSIC WITH US? The Single Honours BA Music is designed for students who wish to study music in depth, without necessarily undertaking a significant amount of practical study in performance. The music course provides a flexible and thorough learning experience. It offers a broad range of module choices based on the contemporary discipline, staff expertise, and the job market for music-related careers, particularly those in education, health, community, composition, and academia. You will develop your knowledge, motivation and self-reliance through a programme of study which allows for increasing specialisation from your first to your third year.

WHAT WILL I STUDY? You will study music from a wide range of perspectives reflecting the essentially interdisciplinary nature of subject. The first year of the course addresses music in its broadest sense and introduces specific topics which you can then choose as topic areas, culminating in individualised project work in year three. These topic areas typically include: analysis, health and wellbeing, education, history and culture, composition, studio composition and sound art, and interdisciplinary study. Modules in these topic areas are supported by core modules in year two, which allow you to continue to develop your knowledge of music, its styles, ideas, content and context. Please note: if you are thinking of combining music with another subject and want to study performance as part of your degree, you will need to have an ABRSM Grade 8 in your main instrument, and you will be able to choose the Performance modules from the BMus course. If you want to do Single Honours Music, including performance, you will choose the BMus course.

BSc single honours

WHY STUDY PLANT SCIENCE WITH US? Where better to study plant sciences than in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Garden of Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;? The resulting qualification will not only make you highly employable within this industry, and allied support industries, but will also equip you with a range of transferable skills highly valued by all sectors from farming to finance. Plants are fundamental to all life on Earth, not only providing atmospheric oxygen, food and materials such as cotton, wood, paper and rope, but also perfumes, beverages and cures for disease. The Royal Society recently issued a statement warning of an impending worldwide skills shortage in the agricultural sciences that would endanger our ability to deal with rising populations, citing plant breeding, plant pathology, agronomy, crop physiology, agricultural entomology, weed science and post-harvest biology as key areas in which shortages are likely. This degree course includes strong elements of all of these disciplines.

WHAT WILL I STUDY? In your first year a set of compulsory modules covers introductory biology, plant taxonomy and environmental science. The courseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ethos is to integrate the sciences, including the physical sciences rather than treating them as separate subjects. There is also an emphasis on experimental science, so you learn a wide range of practical techniques. In year two, dedicated modules probe deeper into plant physiology, plant nutrition, developmental genetics and plant biotechnology. In year three, modules examine the interactions between plants, their environment and other organisms such as pests, pathogens and symbionts. In all three years, you may opt to take modules in marketing.

WHY STUDY POLICING WITH US? This suite of Policing courses provides a strong grounding in policing, both conceptually and in applied practice. We offer a (generic) BSc Policing (honours) award or a choice from eight specialist BSc Policing named awards delivered in Canterbury. The Policing Suite provides the opportunity for you to specialise in police/policing-related subjects and enables you to have a more intensive understanding about an area or related aspect of policing that will better match your vocational ambitions. It covers new and emerging trends in policing such as cybercrime, international (borderless) crime, evidencebased policing, crime science and police governance. To provide practical experience, you are encouraged to volunteer within the criminal justice system as part of your studies. For example, opportunities include volunteering in local police organisations as Special Constables, victim support and the rehabilitation of offenders within the community.

WHAT WILL I STUDY? These policing courses provide you with an academic and vocational understanding of policing and also serve as an introduction to a career with the police. The course will emphasise the diversity of the police role by drawing upon a variety of contexts in which policing is discussed. This will include debates concerning moves to foster a commitment to interagency work, the legal and ethical parameters and duties involved, criminological theories, the application of rational and scientific methods and the development of policing skills.

CORE MODULES :FBS Recognising that students will often not identify their own specialist academic needs or desires until some way into their degree, the first year will give you a broad understanding of the police, policing, crime and the criminal justice system. Year one comprises the following generic core modules common to the entire policing suite: â&#x2014;? â&#x2014;? â&#x2014;? â&#x2014;? â&#x2014;? â&#x2014;?

We will inform applicants of any changes to the course structure before enrolment.

HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED? Most assignments set in the Suite will include coursework, laboratory-based work, tests and examinations. Coursework will consist of a wide variety of modalities, for example: essays, presentations, case studies, literature reviews, reflective journals, research proposals, guided study and short pieces on specific skills in referencing or conceptual understanding. These assessments may entail individual or group work. Examinations will be set as seen or unseen and may include multiple choice questions facilitated through a computer.

WHAT CAN I DO NEXT? The Policing Suite model has been designed to prepare you for a career in policing, which is becoming ever more specialist. Private policing is expanding and public policing is going through a dynamic professionalisation process. The Suite offers a comprehensive response to all three developments. New and exciting careers are emerging in wider policing and security fields and in addition, the evolving specialist requirements of policing and private policing sector interests, for example, tackling cybercrime and fraud. Our qualifications will be of assistance in pursuing a specialist police staff role (as opposed to be being a police officer) and also joining national police organisations such as the National Crime Agency. Importantly too, qualifications from the Policing Suite will prepare you for other justice related public sector employment, including the Border Force, UK Visas and Immigration, prisons, the civil service, offender rehabilitation and the armed forces.

WHY STUDY THEOLOGY WITH US? Are you drawn to thinking about God, reflecting on faith, and exploring the relevance of Christianity and other religions in the world today?

Wherever your career aspirations lie, a successfully completed Theology degree will equip you with the generic knowledge and critical-thinking skills demanded of an intelligent citizen in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diverse, multi-cultural world.

WEB DESIGN

DURATION 3 years full-time 6 years part-time

BA single honours

WHY STUDY WEB DESIGN WITH US? You will learn the foundations of good web design through workshops, demonstrations, practical tasks and collaborative working in a supportive studio environment. From day one we regard you as a designer with thoughts, opinions and a meaningful contribution whilst developing your own portfolio of work and individual sketchbooks. The emphasis of the course is on process, building creative confidence, technical skills and critical understanding of what constitutes front-end web design. The course is designed for those with an active interest in web design, but who may not necessarily have studied it in the past. Working alongside students from the graphic design course you will produce a wide range of projects. By giving you the opportunity to collaborate, encouraging individual and creative responses, and recognising the opportunities that this way of working offers, you will be fully prepared to enter the contemporary design industry. You will be able to not only speak the language of design, but understand how your unique creative practice fits into this mix.

WHAT WILL I STUDY? Our BA Web Design course provides progression from introductory web design skills and understanding in year one, through increasing subject expertise and specialisation in year two, to student-led, professional standard project work in year three. You will develop individual creative and technical abilities within web design to a high level, and will understand the complexities of design thinking and production. Throughout the course, emphasis will be placed upon the integration of practice and theory through the completion of sequential design projects that typically run over five week blocks.

CORE MODULES :FBS â&#x2014;? Design Induction â&#x2014;? Designing for Print â&#x2014;? Designing for Web â&#x2014;? Image â&#x2014;? Moving Image â&#x2014;? Design Theory

UCAS CODE WG2L

PART-TIME OPTION? Yes (see p11)

HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED? Portfolio based practical coursework and essays will typically be used to assess the Web Design course. You will be responding to a number of creative briefs that enable you to propose and develop a solution using the skills, approaches and disciplines that you deem appropriate.

WHAT CAN I DO NEXT? Web design, alongside graphic design, is a creative professional discipline that remains in strong demand, partly due to its ubiquity but also because of the ways that its underpinning principles inform almost all visual communication. Successful graduates from the course have moved into a range of creative careers, including working as front-end web designers either salaried within design agencies or on a freelance basis. Our interdisciplinary ethos and approach assists graduates in working not only in prescribed work roles, but in working across the range of creative industries including web design, advertising, marketing, social media, graphic design and beyond. Many students also continue on to further study, such as postgraduate courses in graphic design or related creative disciplines both at Canterbury Christ Church University and at other institutions. 1MBOT BSF CFJOH TVCNJUUFE UP UIF MPDBM DPVODJM UP CVJME OFX GBDJMJUJFT GPS 4FQUFNCFS BU PVS NBJO DBNQVT JO $BOUFSCVSZ 4VCKFDU UP UIJT BQQSPWBM BOE UIF QMBOOJOH QSPDFTT ZPVS GJSTU ZFBS XJMM CF VOEFSUBLFO BU PVS #SPBETUBJST $BNQVT BOE TVCTFRVFOU ZFBST XJMM CF VOEFSUBLFO BU PVS DBNQVT JO $BOUFSCVSZ 8F XJMM LFFQ ZPV GVMMZ JOGPSNFE PG EFWFMPQNFOUT

Graduates can expect to be well versed with the C#, HTML, JavaScript, PHP and SQL languages and have a working knowledge of several others. We add to this with a mix of theory and other practical skills that students will find useful in the workplace. Our course has been developed to ensure that you cover the fundamentals before you select specialisms to study during the final year of the course. At the end of the first year you may transfer to the Information Technology or Computing degrees if desired.

WHAT WILL I STUDY? On this degree you will study the practice and theory of developing web-based software. As well as computer programming, you will study broader aspects of software development, such as the specification and design of computer systems, legal and ethical issues and optionally a number of related topics such as computer networking, security and usable design.

Assessments are generally individual, with group work in some modules where this matches the approaches used in industry. We use coursework assessment methods based on their suitability for specific modules. Formative feedback is provided formally in year 1one and the year three individual study, and informally in later yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; workshops and seminars. Methods of assessment used include production of software artefacts, project plans and diaries, essays, reports, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;investigation-basedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; presentations, oral presentations, individual studies/ projects, poster presentations, online assessment, logs, examinations and time constrained assignments.

YOUR APPLICATION We hope that what follows will help you when you come to complete your application. It is vital that you put as much effort as possible into completing the application for your chosen programme. If you have questions, you can e-mail us for advice. The email address is advice@canterbury.ac.uk

CHOOSING YOUR COURSES You should have made a decision about the subject area(s) you would like to study before applying.

HOW TO APPLY Full-time: For full-time courses in this undergraduate prospectus, application is made online through UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service). Please see page 164 for more information on applying via UCAS. Part-time: Most, but not all, courses in this prospectus offer a part-time route. Students wishing to study part-time should check the Fact File on individual course pages to see if a part-time route is available. Part-time application forms can be downloaded from www.canterbury.ac.uk/part-time. There is further information for part-time students on the website and on page 11. Normally part-time students take five or six years to complete their degree programme.

APPLYING FOR TEACHING AFTER TAKING A FIRST DEGREE A large number of people decide to take a first degree and then follow a one year Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) course to gain qualified teacher status (QTS). Students do progress from our undergraduate programmes onto the PGCE. However, this progression is not an automatic right. To gain a place on a PGCE course all applicants have to successfully pass the interview stage and Canterbury Christ Church applicants compete equally with graduates from other institutions. Go to www.canterbury.ac.uk/application for more information.

PREPARING FOR AN INTERVIEW If you have applied for a subject that requires an interview, here are some points that you might like to consider once you’ve received your invitation.

Before the interview

THE PERSONAL STATEMENT This is the most important section of your application. Try to include a wide ranging description of yourself that might include your study interests – what you enjoy about your current course(s). It is also vital that you say why you have chosen the subject you are applying for. Include any work or other relevant experience you have done and the benefits it gave you. With teaching or healthrelated subjects, if there is no evidence in your application that you have some relevant experience then you are likely to be rejected without an interview. You can also tell us about any career ideas you have for the future, and how your chosen course will fit into this. If you have interests outside school/college e.g. sports, theatre, travel, social activities, cinema, music, reading, tell us about them and how they’ve helped shape your personality. If you apply for two very different subjects, it is essential that you do not give the impression that you are uncertain about what you want to study.

THE REFERENCE You will need to provide an academic reference and your school or college will write a reference for you. If you are not currently studying we may accept professional references. If you are not able to provide a reference, email advice@canterbury.ac.uk

154

www.canterbury.ac.uk/studyhere | T: +44 (0)1227 782900

You should read a copy of your application and read the prospectus and think about the questions that you might be asked. Select appropriate clothes for the interview that allow you to remain comfortable but give a good impression. Check the time that you are meant to arrive and think about the travel implications, especially how long it will take you to get to the location of the interview, where you will park if you come in the car, whether you are going to bring a friend or member of the family with you.

On the day of the interview Think about the kind of questions that you might be asked. Why do you want to study on the programme? If you are proposing to enter a particular profession after graduating what do you know about these professions? Why do you want to join the profession of your choice? The purpose of the interview is not to catch you out or trick you. We are looking for you to be able to explain to us your motivations and to tell us what you already know about your chosen profession. Always remember that the interview is a two way process. You need to assess whether the University is the right one for you. Go to www.canterbury.ac.uk/interview for more information.

AN OFFER OF A PLACE APPLICANTS FOR BA/BSc JOINT/ COMBINED HONOURS PROGRAMMES There are over thirty subjects available within the joint/combined honours scheme at the Canterbury Campus. The majority of subjects make a decision as to whether to offer a place based on the application form. Exceptions include: Creative Writing where there is a written task that applicants without the relevant A-level subjects might be asked to complete, and Dance where there are auditions. However, we reserve the right to interview applicants where we feel this would benefit both the University and the applicant. Once the decision is taken, the University contacts UCAS and they let you know the outcome of your application. We will write to those candidates offered a place inviting them to visit us to meet academic staff, explore the campus and there is also the opportunity to visit the local area.

APPLICANTS FOR SINGLE HONOURS PROGRAMMES The majority of subjects make a decision as to whether to offer a place based on the application form, but for a number of single honours programmes the University will select applicants for interview/audition. These include Commercial Music, Dance, Diagnostic Radiography, Journalism, Midwifery, Nursing programmes, Occupational Therapy, Paramedic Science, Primary Education and Social Work. However, this list is not exhaustive and the University reserves the right to interview applicants for any subject where we feel this would benefit both the University and the applicant.

THE INTERVIEW The aim of the interview/audition is threefold. Members of the academic staff will firstly want to explore with you your motivations for choosing the subject and secondly, your knowledge of the subject area to which you have applied. Finally, the interview will give you the opportunity to meet academic staff and question them about the programme and the University. Once the decision is taken, we contact UCAS and they let you know about the outcome of your application. You should normally expect to hear from them within two weeks of your interview/ audition, unless we inform you otherwise.

INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS REQUIRING DBS (DISCLOSURE AND BARRING SERVICE) CLEARANCE

(formerly Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) clearance) If an offer of a place is subject to a DBS check, this will be indicated in the relevant programme entry in the prospectus. We will assist you in the process of gaining your DBS enhanced disclosure certificate with further details provided once we progress your application.

You will need to attend a DBS session at the University to provide indentification documents. To find out the acceptable documents please visit the link at the bottom of this page. The University requirement is that all individuals who will be working unsupervised with children or vulnerable adults gain an enhanced disclosure certificate from the DBS BEFORE starting their programme. If applicable, when completing the application form you should declare any convictions, cautions or bind overs you have received. This is irrespective of when you received them or whether you consider them to be ‘spent’ or of insufficient consequence to report them. If, before applying, you would like advice as to whether a previous offence is likely to prevent you entry onto a particular course you are welcome to write in confidence to: The Admissions Manager, Admissions Department, North Holmes Road, Canterbury, Kent CT1 1QU. Please mark the envelope as ‘private and confidential’, or email lorraine.symonds@canterbury.ac.uk If you have convictions, cautions or have been bound over, you are not automatically barred from studying Health related or Primary Education programmes – we consider each applicant separately. What is important is that you are open with us about your past. Where an applicant declares a conviction, caution or bind over, we make an academic decision first. Once this has been completed, those offered a place will be asked to submit further information concerning their circumstances, and then a decision will be made as to whether to confirm the offer. If you fail to disclose information that subsequently comes to light through the DBS process, you will face the likelihood of having your offer of a place withdrawn. If you are a non-UK resident, you MUST go through the DBS process when you start your programme. It is expected that students from those countries where a further check can be made, MUST also go through this process. Further advice will be given to you at the time of being called for interview. There is a charge made for this process - £52 at time of print (Feb 2016). Some health-related programmes have this charge paid for by the Department of Health. Details of charges will be given to you once an offer of a place has been made, or they can be requested from advice@canterbury.ac.uk We can only accept Enhanced DBS certificates from other organisations where they are dated after 17th June 2013 AND have been registered with the DBS Update Service AND cover those checks relevant to your programme of study. This service costs £13 (payable to the DBS) each year and MAY enable a certificate to be used by other organisations dependent upon whether any additional information has been recorded since the DBS certificate was issued. Further information on this service is available at www.gov.uk/dbs-update-service For more information visit www.canterbury.ac.uk/DBS

AN OFFER OF A PLACE EQUIVALENT LEVEL QUALIFICATIONS (ELQs)

COMPLAINTS

An Equivalent Level Qualification (ELQ) is a qualification that is the same level of study, or lower, as one you already hold. For instance, if you apply to study a BA in English but you’ve already completed a BA in History, this would be an ELQ. If you plan to study for a qualification at the same level, or below, you may not be eligible for any financial support towards your tuition fees and living costs, though there may be exemptions in certain personal circumstances.

THE FRAMEWORK FOR HIGHER EDUCATION QUALIFICATIONS IN ENGLAND, WALES AND NORTHERN IRELAND In this prospectus the structure of most programmes is broken down into years (Year 1, Year 2 etc). The higher education framework uses levels rather than years, as it recognises that not all students study full-time. Within the prospectus each year equates to a ‘level’ as follows:

CCCU Designation

HE Credit Level

Minimum Credits

Year 1

120

Year 2

240

Year 3

360

Part-time students typically study for half the time of full-time students. Therefore, for a part-time student ‘Year 1’ will take two academic years, ‘Year 2’, a further two academic years and so on. Further information on the framework for higher education qualifications in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland can be found at: www.qaa.ac.uk

ADMISSIONS AND RECRUITMENT ACTIVITY The University’s recruitment and admissions activity follows guidelines published by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA). There is a University Admissions and Recruitment policy, copies of which can be obtained by writing to The Director of Admissions, Canterbury Christ Church University, North Holmes Road, Canterbury, Kent CT1 1QU or go to the Downloads section at: www.canterbury.ac.uk/undergraduate-courses

The University has policies and procedures in place for responding to applicants’ complaints. A copy of the policy and procedures relating to complaints can be obtained from The Director of Admissions (see address under Admissions and Recruitment activity above) or go to the Downloads section at: www.canterbury.ac.uk/undergraduate-courses

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS Canterbury Christ Church University encourages and welcomes applications from all students able to benefit from the programme offered. Applications are considered individually and we take into account academic qualifications in addition to paying great attention to the personal statement and the reference(s) provided.

NEW UCAS TARIFF FOR 2017 ENTRY

GCSEs AND THEIR EQUIVALENT

WHAT IS THE NEW UCAS TARIFF?

For a small number of programmes there is either a national or a University requirement to achieve grade C passes in specific GCSEs or the equivalent. From summer 2017 GCSE English and Maths exams will be graded 9 (highest) - 1 (lowest) instead of A-G. From summer 2019 all GCSE’s will be graded this way. We will require applicants to achieve a 4 or higher for those programmes with GCSEs as part of the entry requirements. If you do not have GCSEs, the University will only accept Level 2 credits from accredited Access programmes completed in 2014 or earlier as the equivalent to GCSE passes. We do not accept any other Level 2 qualifications, such as Functional Skills, as the equivalent of GCSEs. O-Levels sat in, or after, summer 1975 must be at grade C or above. CSE grade 1 is accepted as equivalent to GCSE at grade C.

Some, but not all universities and colleges use UCAS Tariff points to describe their entry requirements – the level of qualifications you need to be considered for a place. For 2016 entry you might see: • 280 UCAS Tariff points A new UCAS Tariff point system is being introduced to include more qualifications. Some universities and colleges may refer to the new UCAS Tariff points for their courses starting from September 2017. Under the new UCAS Tariff points, university and college entry requirements could look like this: • 112 UCAS Tariff points WHAT DO THE NEW UCAS TARIFF POINTS MEAN FOR ME? Although the number of UCAS Tariff points appears to be less i.e. 112 instead of 280, this is simply because the new UCAS Tariff points are based on different, lower numbers. Overall, you will still need to achieve the same grades at A level, Scottish Highers, Scottish Advanced Highers or BTEC and other qualifications, to meet the entry requirements for the higher education course as you would if you were applying for 2016 entry.

PART-TIME STUDY Most of the programmes in this prospectus can be studied parttime (although there are exceptions) and, where appropriate, individual programme entries will give specific information for part-time applicants. In general though, the University treats parttime applicants in the same way as full-time applicants via UCAS and so the information that follows in the next section is equally applicable for part-time applicants.

However, one key change is that the AS qualification will get fewer UCAS Tariff points under the new Tariff than it does today. This is because the new UCAS Tariff points for the AS will change to ensure the points allocated reflect the standard as stated by the UK qualification regulators that manage A levels and AS qualifications. Remember, some courses don’t refer to the UCAS Tariff points in their entry requirements, so don’t worry if you do not see any mention of UCAS Tariff points when doing research into higher education courses. HOW DO I FIND OUT HOW MANY NEW UCAS TARIFF POINTS A QUALIFICATION GETS? Information about how many new UCAS Tariff points each qualification gets is online at www.ucas.com/new-tariff Source: UCAS

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS OFFERS MADE VIA UCAS

ACCEPTED QUALIFICATIONS

Generally, offers will be made in terms of UCAS Tariff points but there are notable exceptions to this.

What follows is a list of frequently offered qualifications. The list is not exhaustive and if your qualification does not feature here you should not automatically assume that we do not accept it. Some applicants will offer a combination of qualifications at Level 3 and the University welcomes this.

Applicants currently at school or college will be expected to be taking a minimum of two A-levels or the equivalent and they will be asked to achieve the necessary UCAS Tariff points from these qualifications and any others that attract UCAS Tariff points. Currently the University asks for between 240 and 300 UCAS Tariff points for 2016 entry and between 96 and 120 UCAS Tariff points for 2017 entry, depending on the degree programme. Up to date information on a programme by programme basis can be found on the UCAS course search engine http://search.ucas.com Some University programmes require the successful applicant to achieve specific grades in the qualifications they are taking rather than asking for an accumulation of UCAS Tariff points. This will be made clear when an offer of a place is made. Some programmes require applicants to have studied a specific subject at Level 3 (A-level or equivalent). Please check individual subject entries for specific requirements. Grades declared following modular examinations for AS Levels at the end of Year 12 will assist us in framing conditional offers, but students taking linear assessment, who will not know their grades until Year 13, will not be discriminated against. The University does not intend to use unit grade information. The University will not normally make offers for a place on degree programmes based on AS qualifications alone (i.e. to those with no A2 Levels or equivalent, or only one A2 Level qualification or equivalent).

DEGREE OFFERS The University considers applications from those with a wide range of general qualifications that attract UCAS Tariff points either on their own or in combination with others. If you have a qualification that is not in the UCAS Tariff (other than an accredited Access programme) then you should contact admissions@canterbury.ac.uk for advice. The University welcomes applications from people who have, or are taking, an accredited Access qualification. At the time of going to print Access programmes are not included in the UCAS Tariff.

NON-UK QUALIFICATIONS Non-UK qualifications equivalent to A2 Levels, GCSEs and the others mentioned above are accepted by the University. Further information on the equivalence of non-UK qualifications can be obtained from admissions@canterbury.ac.uk or, if you are based overseas, from your local British Council office.

DIRECT ADMISSION TO YEAR 2 OR 3 We will consider applications to the second or third year of degree programmes from suitably qualified applicants. Applicants should have passed one year (for entry to Year 2) or two years (for entry to Year 3) of relevant degree level study. Applicants should apply through UCAS indicating which year of entry they wish to be considered for. A transcript from your current/previous study is required.

ACCREDITATION OF PRIOR LEARNING (APL) ACCREDITATION OF PRIOR EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING (APEL) You may be able to demonstrate learning which has occurred in the past by way of certification or experience. This is particularly useful for mature students, who may have substantial experience and who may have taken short courses or professional training. Under normal circumstances, students may claim up to a maximum of 50% of the total credit points required for an award, usually for learning which has occurred during the previous five years. APL relies solely on the provision of evidence of learning by way of certification from another university or college. Applicants will need to provide appropriate documentation including certificates and details of the awarding body. This process may enable you to build directly onto your existing learning if you are choosing a programme of study within the same discipline. Applicants should apply via UCAS.

EUROPEAN DIPLOMA SUPPLEMENT

EARLY CHILDHOOD STUDIES When looking at applications we take a number of factors into account and one of the main ones is that you are able to demonstrate recent experience with young children. Offers of a place are subject to satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Information about the process can be found on page 155.

DIAGNOSTIC RADIOGRAPHY Applicants need to demonstrate a basic understanding of diagnostic radiography and show that it is a well considered career choice for them. Suitable applicants are invited into the University for an information session and interview. All candidates should visit a diagnostic imaging department for one day prior to interview. Interview process: At interview, students will be expected to talk about Diagnostic Radiography as a career. They should possess an understanding of the personal qualities and skills required by a radiographer and have an awareness of current issues affecting health and social care.

Students who have completed their programme of study and become eligible for an award may obtain a supplementary document, called a European Diploma Supplement, which provides information about the award to universities and employers in other European countries.

Offers of a place can only be made after a successful interview, subject to satisfactory health clearance and Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Information about the process can be found on page 155.

See www.canterbury.ac.uk/euro-dip-supp for more information.

MIDWIFERY

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS

When selecting applicants a number of factors are taken into account. These include evidence of some understanding of the role of the midwife and the challenges that this involves. This can be gained in a range of ways, for example talking to friends, relatives, midwives, and through accessing maternity/health focused websites. It is suggested that candidates visit a local Maternity Unit or attend a Maternity open day offered by the three Kent NHS Trusts Maternity Units supporting this programme. Relevant experience can also be obtained through volunteer placements, such as those offered by CSV (Community Service Volunteers). Visit www.csv.org.uk for information. However actual experience within the maternity services is not required.

The following pages have important additional information for a number of subjects: • Early Childhood Studies • Diagnostic Radiography • Midwifery • Nursing Studies – Adult, Child and Mental Health • Occupational Therapy • Operating Department Practice • Paramedic Science • Primary Education • Primary Education (7-11) part-time route • Social Work Please note: This advice was produced in February 2016 and is for guidance only. The University reserves the right to change its requirements and procedures as it deems necessary.

You should set aside time to complete the application form (further information can be found on page 154) as the decision as to whether you are called for interview is based on the form. The personal statement is very important and you must say why you want to become a midwife and demonstrate your commitment to and understanding of the profession. We take into account what your referees say about you, and it is important that you give us the names and addresses of relevant referees, for example you should not use friends or relatives. We also look at your academic background.

If you do not require a Tier 4 visa to study, your school leaving certificate grades in English may be acceptable and we regularly offer the University’s own English language test when our staff travel outside the UK. If your school leaving certificate English exam is not recognised for admission and you are not able to take the University’s own test, you will need a recognised English Language Test such as IELTS. For more information please check your country details on our website: www.canterbury.ac.uk/your-country If you need a Tier 4 visa to study, you will need a UKVI approved Secure English Language Test (SELT) such as IELTS for admission. Our standard IELTS requirements can be found on our website: www.canterbury.ac.uk/int-entry-requirements Please note that a small number of programmes have nonstandard requirements. This is usually due to professional accreditation requirements. Entry requirements may also vary for students joining the University via a formal partnership agreement. Please contact the International Office for details. If you have taken or if you are planning to take a different English test please contact the International Office to check its acceptability.

For students who do not achieve the required scores for undergraduate programmes we offer an intensive 10 week or 6 week (dependent on entry level) Pre-sessional course in Academic English Skills. Students are assessed during the Pre-sessional course and must meet the minimum English language requirement for their programme to proceed to their chosen programme of study. Other English language programmes, such as General English with IELTS Preparation are available throughout the year. For further details, please contact the International Office. www.canterbury.ac.uk/pre-sessional-english The information above is provided for guidance only. If you apply to study at the University and receive a Conditional Offer, your offer letter will state the academic and English language requirements you must meet for admission. Please note that changes to the University’s requirements can occur as a result of updates to University policies or changes in UKVI requirements. Please check our website for the latest information on English language requirements. The University will contact you if any changes occur that affect your offer to study with us.

COMBINED HONOURS DEGREES Study for a degree that combines two different subjects; beneficial to those who have particular cross-discipline interests or those who are not yet sure what they want to specialise in.

WHY STUDY A COMBINED HONOURS DEGREE?

WHAT MAKES A COMBINED HONOURS DEGREE?

A Combined Honours degree will allow you to:

During Year 1: You will be required to take modules to the value of 60 credits in each subject.

y select modules from two different disciplines based on your specific individual interests, needs and career aspirations; y tailor your degree to suit your own personal preferences, giving you greater choice of what you study; y pursue diverse interests or to explore the connections between two related areas; y attend lectures and integrate with students who study single honours courses. Collaborating with a larger pool of students can also enhance your academic and student experience whilst at university.

MAXIMISE YOUR EMPLOYABILITY With an ever changing work environment, employers are looking for those who can demonstrate adaptability and diverse knowledge and skills. Specialising in two subject areas provides you with the opportunity to distinguish yourself in an increasingly competitive job market as graduates who are flexible, adaptable, possess excellent interpersonal, organisation and problem solving skills, can undertake independent research from more than one discipline and have the ability to work as part of a team.

SUPPORT YOUR FURTHER STUDY If you’re considering pursuing further qualifications at PGCE, MA, MSc or PhD level, as a Combined Honours graduate, you’ll benefit from your substantial experience of identifying the links between different subjects, meaning you can approach research and further study from a number of perspectives.

168

www.canterbury.ac.uk/studyhere | T: +44 (0)1227 782900

y In subsequent years: You may combine the two subjects in any proportion with the following restrictions: y You must take modules to the value of at least 40 credits in each of your subjects at both Years 2 and 3; and y The number of credits taken in a subject at Year 3 cannot be greater than 20 above the number of credits taken in that subject at Year 2. When you graduate: The title of a Combined Honours degree will be recorded as Subject A and Subject B (in alphabetical order of subject). If required, a degree title of ‘Subject A’ with ‘Subject B’ can be awarded if the credits studied in Subject A is at least 150 at Year 2 and Year 3 combined.

FIND YOUR COMBINED HONOURS DEGREE Our selection of Combined Honours courses, one of the most extensive in the United Kingdom, enables you to diversify your learning and employability skills. Search our undergraduate course listing on the following pages for an idea of which courses your chosen subject combines well with. See also: www.canterbury.ac.uk/ug/courses

UCAS CODES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; COMBINED HONOURS Studying more than one subject? Subjects that can be studied in combination are listed A-Z on the following pages, along with their UCAS code. There may be more than one UCAS code per combination, so if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a combination under one subject you should also look under the second subject. Codes are correct at the time of publication (February 2016). For the most up-to-date listings, please visit www.ucas.com

FURTHER INFORMATION QUALITY RATING The mission of Canterbury Christ Church University is to deliver excellent academic and professional education. The University was last reviewed by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) in March 2010 when it was judged to possess rigorous mechanisms for the management of academic standards and the quality of learning opportunities available to students, and to be using these effectively and consistently.

OUR AGREEMENT WITH YOU An offer of a place on a course is made on the basis that in accepting such an offer you as an applicant reach an agreement with Canterbury Christ Church University in relation to an academic contract. The agreement comes into effect when you accept an offer made by the University. If the offer is conditional, the agreement becomes operational when the condition is fulfilled, for example on obtaining certain examination results and taking up the accepted place at the University. In accepting the offer of the place you are agreeing that you will either pay the published course fees and other additional costs or arrange for them to be paid by a sponsor or a lender such as at the Students Loan Company. However, you need to understand that you are held responsible for the payment of the fees, even if a sponsor or lender fails to make the payment on your behalf. You are required to pay your tuition fees in full, or have made an arrangement with the University to pay, before starting your course. Your tuition fees become due for payment on the first day of your course, and additional costs become payable when notified to you. The University has a written policy on student debt, which forms part of our agreement with you.

As a student of the University you are required to adhere to University regulations. These regulations are detailed in the University Requirements Relating to Student Registration, Student Procedures and Regulations for the Conferment of Awards and the Assessment Procedures Manual. There are also requirements you need to fulfil relating to the use of IT services and the library, together with attendance and discipline. You will have the opportunity to read the regulations that apply to you when you offered a place and before you enrol. Following your registration, you will receive documents describing the teaching and assessment arrangements and other educational services. The University undertakes to take all reasonable steps to provide educational services in the manner set out in the prospectus and in the additional documents outlined above, and to consult with you over any proposed material changes before they are implemented. As a student, you must fulfil the assessment and examination requirements for your course before progressing to the next year or stage of study. You may be required to withdraw from the course if you fail to meet these requirements.

MEMBERSHIP OF THE STUDENTS’ UNION As a student of the University you are able to become a member of the Students’ Union, although you can decide to opt out of membership if you want. If you do not wish to become a member of the Union, you can let us know by sending an email to: i-zone@canterbury.ac.uk, and your details will not be passed to the Students’ Union. You can change your mind at any time.

EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY Canterbury Christ Church University is committed to providing a fair environment in which everyone is treated with dignity and respect. This means sustaining a culture that is free from discrimination linked to age, caring responsibilities, disability, gender identity or reassignment, marital status (including civil partnership status) pregnancy and maternity, race, religion and belief, sex or sexual orientation, or any combination of these characteristics. The University takes a proactive approach to promoting equality and is committed to a range of actions intended to create a welcoming and positive environment for all staff, students and stakeholders. Full information can be found at: www.canterbury.ac.uk/about/equal-opportunities

STUDENTS UNDER THE AGE OF 18 Canterbury Christ Church is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all its students but has particular responsibilities in relation to those who are under 18 years of age on entry. Such students are regarded as children under UK law. The University cannot assume parental responsibility for a student under the age of 18. Students and their families should bear in mind that the University is an adult environment. Students are expected to behave like adults and to assume adult levels of responsibility.

THE UNIVERSITY DAY The University day is from 09:00 to 19:00, Monday to Friday, and students may be taught at any time during this period. Students on placements and field trips may need to undertake their studies outside these times.

DISABILITY STATEMENT Canterbury Christ Church offers a supportive and confidential service to disabled students, including Specific Learning Differences and medical conditions. The Disability Advice Team also offer advice to those who suspect they have a Specific Learning Difference but have no diagnosis. The disability policy is implemented through all the University’s academic and administrative departments and in collaboration with the Students’ Union. The Disability Advice team is located within Student Services and Administration and you are encouraged to contact them to discuss your potential support needs.

Canterbury Christ Church is committed to:

supporting and empowering students with medical conditions, disabilities and specific learning difficulties to enable them to participate fully in all aspects of the University’s academic and social programmes.

Improvements to physical access: some of the University’s buildings include features which present problems for those with disabilities. However there is a programme of improvements to remove physical barriers to access wherever practicable. The University endeavours to provide the maximum possible support to students, implementing reasonable adjustments following an assessment of the individual. Facilities and adjustments to teaching practice are being amended and improved constantly to ensure full participation by disabled students. Individual enquiries should in the first instance be addressed to Lorraine Symonds, the Admissions Manager (email admissions@canterbury.ac.uk).
