UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS

YouCan.

An introduction. Welcome to Canterbury Christ Church University. We hope that our prospectus will give you a good introduction to the Christ Church way of life. Our campuses in Canterbury and Medway have a warm, friendly atmosphere, with around 15,000 students and 1,600 staff. We offer hundreds of different courses in many subjects, from teacher education, business and nursing to creative industries, medicine, engineering and the sciences. We hold a Silver rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), and our research and teaching also say a lot about who we are and how we’re making a difference in society.

We’re a modern university, one of a handful in the UK with a campus on a World Heritage Site, giving you the chance to study right in the heart of a cosmopolitan and historic cathedral city. There’s no better way to find out than to come to one of our Open Days and see for yourself. Details are on page 07 . In 2022, the University will be celebrating its Diamond Jubilee: 60 years since we first opened our doors to students. We hope that in 2022 your story will become part of ours, and you’ll join us as a student here.

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

You’ll be taught on one of two campuses, and each has its own distinct character. So whether you are based in cosmopolitan Canterbury or the historic location of Medway, you will be enjoying high-quality teaching in an inspirational and motivating environment, with outstanding modern facilities. Our £65 million building for science, technology, health, engineering and medicine on our Canterbury Campus opened in January 2021. This unique 21st century facility is fast becoming a critically important centre for regional innovation, education and research. You will be part of an extremely diverse, global and dynamic community, one which places a high value on individuality and equality. Our students come from over 80 different countries, and include mature and part-time students, as well as those studying for postgraduate qualifications. We celebrate our Diamond Jubilee in 2022, marking 60 years of education with local and global impact. We will be celebrating this special year with our students, the thousands of graduates who have studied with us, and our wider alumni community. We look forward to meeting you at one of our Open Days, a great opportunity to find out more about joining us in this special year.

You can see for yourself.

Visit us at one of our Open Days. We’ll talk to you about your course choices, answer any questions you might have, and then let you explore by yourself, or with one of our friendly student guides. If you’ve got questions before, during or after your Open Day visit, just ask!

We want you to succeed, to be happy, to feel comfortable and to express yourself. You’ll be studying in a nurturing and sympathetic environment where diversity, equality and individuality are part of everything we do. We’re proud to have students from across the UK and the world studying at Christ Church, exchanging ideas, values and experiences. Your fellow students will come from all backgrounds, all ages, all faiths or no faith at all. We have a Canterbury-based Chapel, a Muslim Prayer Room, a Buddhist Meditation Room, and quiet rooms on all campuses, supported and supervised by the University Chaplaincy Team. More than 50% of our full-time undergraduates are mature students, so if you’ve delayed your studies for a few years, or are returning to university after a longer break, you’ll be in good company. 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’re always happy to answer your questions. You can take most of our degree courses part-time, giving you the flexibility to combine your current career with academic study.

You’ll work towards a brilliant future. Studying a subject that interests and inspires you is the main reason for embarking on a university degree. But you also want to know you’ll be developing the enterprising, professional skillset that employers value. At Christ Church, we work with you to maximise your future potential from day one. We’ll help you develop the skills, confidence and attributes you’ll need for a bright future and a great career. If you’re an aspiring teacher or health professional, you’ll be studying at a university with a national reputation and extensive network of contacts. Our simulation suites provide a realistic work environment allowing you to practise your skills and build your confidence. Or maybe you’re set on the creative industries. Our new Daphne Oram creative arts building is home to the latest digital facilities and our constantly evolving courses are designed to equip our students with the skills they need to feed the booming creative sector in Kent and beyond.

It is only a short distance away from our new creative arts facility on the campus – all part of a multi-million-pound transformation plan. The city campus is also home to the Kent and Medway Medical School, a collaboration between Canterbury Christ Church and the University of Kent. But we don’t just focus on the sciences at Christ Church.

There are dedicated facilities for music, performance, games design, media, photography and graphic design. You’ll be able to showcase your work and talents in a building designed to reflect contemporary working practices in the digital age. We’re very proud of our new facilities, but do come and see them for yourself.

Staff and students gather in solidarity with global student action on climate change. 36

You can change the world. We are committed to working with our students to build a more sustainable future. If, like us, you care about the environment, you’ll be able to get involved with ‘Us in the World’: a collaboration between our students, staff and the Students’ Union, working together to embed the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) into everything we do. We were one of the first UK universities to sign the SDG Accord and in the spring of 2019 Christ Church joined other universities, cities and the government in the declaration of a Climate Emergency. These are just a few of the thing we’ve achieved together so far. We’ve: • reduced our electricity and gas consumption by 24% since 2010 • been a 0% waste to landfill University since January 2013, working hard to promote reusable alternatives to single-use plastics • reduced use of disposable cups by 60% across all sites • won an International Green Gown Award for our work in ‘Institutional Change’ on sustainability. If you’re passionate about ensuring a sustainable future, there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved through our Student Green Office. Find out more at: canterbury.ac.uk/sustainability

Sustainability is as much about social issues as it is about the environment. I’m proud and excited to be working with the Student Green Office, because not only will I spread awareness and hopefully inspire others, but most importantly I will keep on educating myself. Miroslava History and Film, Radio & TV student

You can get involved.

Going to university is a life-changing experience, and the Students’ Union is here to encourage and empower every student to make the most of it.

From the moment you arrive we’ll be there helping you move in with our amazing Freshers’ Fayre, where you can sign up for a variety of sports clubs and societies. From joining academic societies that support your studies, through to challenging yourself to try something completely new, you’ll meet people and make new friends. Involvement in sports, societies and student media activities can make a huge difference to how you settle into University and ensure you get the most out of your time here. Our mission is to better student life and enrich student experiences, and our elected officers work with the University to make sure your voice is heard and your feedback acted on. There may be times when you need extra help and support and the Union has a free, independent Advice Centre offering guidance on academic issues, as well as advice on housing, money and any other concerns you may have, to make sure your time at Christ Church is the best it can be.

Are you finding it hard to decide between two subjects you enjoy? If so, you could tailor your studies with a combined honours degree. Variety, flexibility and a chance to maximise your employability are just some of the advantages on offer when you choose to study a combined degree, and Canterbury Christ Church University offers a wide selection.

Why study a combined honours degree?

What makes a combined honours degree?

A combined honours degree is one degree covering two subject areas. It will allow you to:

Most university degrees are composed of a number of individual modules with each module being worth a set amount of ‘credits’ which indicates the amount of learning undertaken. Our full-time students (single or combined) take 120 credits each year, that’s 360 credits over the length of your degree.

• explore two subjects you enjoy and gain a wider set of knowledge and skills • tailor your degree to suit your own personal preferences, giving you greater choice of what you study • meet an even wider range of students to work with and make friends.

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 a graduate who is flexible, adaptable, possesses excellent interpersonal, organisation and problem solving skills, can undertake independent research from more than one discipline and has the ability to work as part of a team.

With a combined honours degree, in your first year you will study 60 credits in each of your chosen subject areas. As you progress into your second and third years, you may decide that you prefer one subject to another and you will be able to take more of your credits from your favoured subject.

Choose your combination Take a look at the specific subjects you are interested in within this prospectus. The course page will tell you if it is offered as a combined honours and recommend some subjects it combines well with. For more about the combinations on offer, their UCAS codes, and our suggestions for the combinations we think really work best, please visit: canterbury.ac.uk/combinedhonours-degrees

Foundation years. A number of our degrees are also offered with an additional foundation year (Year 0 of a four year degree). A foundation year can provide an ideal route for those who have the ability to study at degree level but don’t have the entry requirements for their chosen subject. You may be a school-leaver who has not quite reached the required tariff points, or you may have decided to follow a different path of study from your A Levels and need to gain a grounding in a new subject area. Perhaps you are someone considering returning to study after a number of years; you don’t have the qualifications but have relevant experience and plenty of enthusiasm. If so, a foundation year may be just what you’re looking for.

What next?

A foundation year is the first year of a four year degree which:

Our foundation years are offered in the following subject areas:

• provides an introduction not only to study at university but also to your chosen subject

• Arts & Humanities

Have a look at the course entry for the degree you are interested in studying. If it is also offered as a four year course with a foundation year, you will see this icon FY .

• offers you a highly supportive environment where you can develop the self-confidence, knowledge, skills and understanding for further study.

I M P O R TA N T I N F O R M A T I O N We printed this prospectus at the end of February 2021. At the time, the COVID-19 pandemic was ongoing, with some students studying remotely and others having a phased return to campus. With the vaccine roll-out and falling numbers of infections, and taking account of the Prime Minister’s statement on 22 February 2021, we expect a return to more typical teaching and campus life as 2021 progresses. We designed this prospectus for courses starting in September 2022 to reflect this. The wellbeing of our students and staff is at the heart of everything we do. We continuously monitor Government guidance, and we will respond immediately to provide a supportive and safe environment for our University community to support their work and studies.

The information was accurate at the time when the prospectus was printed in February 2021. On occasions it may be necessary to change details relating to a particular course that commences from September 2022 onwards. Any changes will be set out on the web page relating to the course. It is recommended that prospective students look at the web page both for further information on the course and for any notifications of change to the details in the prospectus. Where there has been a material change to a course, we will draw this to the attention of applicants at the earliest opportunity.

MODERN LANGUAGE & LINGUISTICS BA Single Honours

Your course An effective use of language is the basis for success in virtually every domain of human activity, from politics, to business, even to personal and family life. Despite the global predominance of English, an ability to learn and use other languages in their cultural contexts remains a crucial skill, often in short supply; as the 1970s German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt commented: “I sell in English, but I buy in German”.

You will explore areas including: • how the mechanics of language relate to forms of communication in everyday life • how communication works, or fails, across cultural boundaries • language use in specific contexts such as social media or politics • how to research language use and communication in real-world contexts • the learning and teaching of English.

In a degree that makes strong links between language and communication, you will learn how these function at interpersonal, group, public and intercultural levels. You will develop competence in a major language (French or Spanish), alongside studying another minor language (currently a European language or Mandarin Chinese). To complement these, you will take modules in linguistic analysis and communication, as well as specialist modules relating to your major language on issues such as the influence of cultural context on interpretation/translation.

Your career

The degree also includes elements related to the working world, such as a work placement module and the ‘CELTA’ course, which leads to an internationally recognised professional qualification for teaching English as a foreign language.

The broader analytical and communication abilities you will gain are in demand across a range of occupational sectors and will give you the flexibility to choose from many employment options. Communications-based roles are common career destinations, including public relations, marketing, human resources, a range of public sector roles and teaching. Graduates also often choose to work in creative fields such as journalism and advertising. In addition, your proven ability to learn and use other languages will greatly enhance your desirability for cross-cultural or international roles, both in the UK and abroad.

COUNTER TERRORISM & TRANSNATIONAL CRIME BSc Single Honours

Your course Terrorism, counter-terrorism and transnational crime are issues currently faced by many countries across the world. This degree presents a unique opportunity to provide you with both context and a critical outlook on these highly publicised cases, and introduces you to the aspects the media does not talk about. After the tragic events of 9/11 in the USA, the world entered what many see to be a new era in how we understand, perceive and react to transnational crime, including terrorism. Despite the significance of the attack on the World Trade Centre, transnational crime and terrorism are not new concepts. To understand the current strategies in tackling phenomena as terrorism and wider transnational crime, it is important to learn from history, evaluate the complexities, and take a holistic but critical view of politics, policies, international treaties, and policing powers. Through varied modules this degree will equip you with the practical and theoretical knowledge you need to help address what works in tackling transnational crime.

You will explore areas including: • responses to terrorism, transnational crime and political violence • forensic investigation, crime science, criminal investigation • international policing, decision making. Your career Many of our students choose to continue their education by undertaking research degrees with us. There are varied career opportunities closely linked with this degree, including the criminal justice field, the civil service, local or national government structures, as well as national or private security organisations, to name but a few. Responding to transnational crime is key for all organisations. Should you decide you wish to join the police following your studies, this degree represents the third route into policing as a degree level award holder. If successful in joining the police, you would be required to undertake a diploma in policing within the first two years of your police service.

Your course This course allows you to study the historical rise of the detective, from the early days of the new police into the modern era. The increase in crime, and the manner in which crime is committed today, provides very different challenges to the detectives of the past. Students will have the opportunity to critically analyse how the police service has met some of these challenges by exploring high profile cases that demonstrate how criminal investigations can fail due to systematic or individual error, and equally, good examples of police practice which demonstrate the highest standards of professionalism.

DURATION 3 years full-time

You will explore areas including: • the history of detectives • detective professionalisation • management of crimes depending upon their seriousness • recurring problems in criminal investigation • the ethical and legal nature of detective work. Your career The choice of careers following graduation is wide and varied. Graduates may decide to join the police as a degree level award holder, or become an investigator for organisations including the National Crime Agency, Military, Independent Office for Police Conduct, Criminal Cases Review Commission, Security Services, HM Courts and Tribunals Service. Some students opt to undertake further research, and go on to study Master’s by research on criminal investigation topics of their choice.

Choosing your courses

How to apply

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

FULL-TIME: For full-time courses in this undergraduate prospectus, application is made online through UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service). Please see page 169 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. You can apply directly to us through the link on the online course page. There is further information for part-time students on the website. Normally part-time students take five or six years to complete their degree course.

Of all the universities I visited, I found that Canterbury Christ Church was one of the few that I genuinely felt had a kind and welcoming atmosphere when I attended an Open Day and subsequent Applicant Day. I didn’t feel like just a number to them, or that I was going to study in a cold and unfriendly environment. Gabriella Logistics Management student

The personal statement

The reference

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).

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: courses@canterbury.ac.uk

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 eg 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.

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. For more information, visit: canterbury.ac.uk/train-to-teach

If you require any help with your personal statement please email: courses@canterbury.ac.uk

Canterbury Christ Church University encourages and welcomes applications from all students able to benefit from the course 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. All offers are tailored to individual applications.

Call us: +44 (0)1227 928000 or visit: canterbury.ac.uk /studyhere

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 health-related subjects, relevant experience in either a voluntary or paid capacity is highly recommended as part of your application.

Additional entry requirements

GCSEs and their equivalent

Some courses require you to achieve specific grades in the qualifications you are taking and for some you will need to have studied a particular subject at Level 3 (A-level, BTEC, IBCP, OCR or equivalent). This will be made clear when an offer of a place is made.

For a small number of courses there is either a national or a University requirement to achieve grade C passes in specific GCSEs or the equivalent. From summer 2019 GCSEs are now graded 9 (highest) – 1 (lowest) instead of A-G. We will require applicants to achieve 4 or higher for those courses 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 courses completed in 2014 or earlier as the equivalent to GCSE passes.

Some courses, particularly those in the health and education subject areas, have their own additional entry requirements for instance English and Maths GCSEs, or evidence of work experience. Please check individual course entries on our website for specific requirements.

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. In the table below is a list of frequently accepted qualifications. The list is not exhaustive and if your qualification does not feature here please contact us for advice: courses@canterbury.ac.uk

Accepted qualifications

Functional skills at Level 2 are accepted for the Adult, Child and Mental Health Nursing degrees and for Midwifery, Occupational Therapy and Operating Department Practice. However, the University does not currently accept functional skills at Level 2 as the equivalent of GCSEs passes for any other degree programmes that recruit via UCAS. 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.

Degrees with a foundation year 32-112 UCAS points inclusive of at least one A Level or equivalent depending on experience and subject mix; please see the individual courses on our website for details. If you have been out of education for some time relevant experience will be taken into consideration. Please call our Course Enquiry Team on 01227 928000 who will be happy to advise you.

Foundation degrees and Diplomas of Higher Education Generally applicants will be required to have 48 UCAS points inclusive of at least one A Level or equivalent.

Direct admission to Year 2 or 3 We will consider applications to the second or third year of degree courses 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 course of study within the same discipline. Applicants should apply via UCAS.

Non-UK qualifications Non-UK qualifications equivalent to Level 3 study in the UK, GCSEs and the others mentioned above are accepted by the University. Further information on the equivalence of non-UK qualifications can be obtained by emailing: ugadmssions@canterbury.ac.uk or, if you are based overseas, from your local British Council office.

European Diploma Supplement Students who have completed their course 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.

APPLYING VIA UCAS Universities and Colleges Admissions Service For all courses in the prospectus which state that application is made through UCAS you must apply online at: ucas.com

1. Students at a school or college Advice is available from your teacher or a careers adviser at your school or college. You fill in an online application and submit it to a member of staff. After checking your details, and having added the academic reference, your school or college submits the completed application online to UCAS. You pay online using a credit card or debit card. You may also be able to pay through your school or college.

2. Independent applicants in the UK Other UK applicants, who are not at school or college, apply online independently.

It is likely that you are a mature applicant, who, unlike school and college students, cannot readily seek advice from your teacher, but can instead consult with various careers organisations. You are responsible for paying the correct application fee, for obtaining and attaching the academic reference and for submitting the completed application online to UCAS.

3. International applicants outside the UK (EU and worldwide) Except for those whose school or college is registered with UCAS, individuals from the EU (excluding the UK), and worldwide, apply online independently. Advice is available from British Council offices and other centres overseas, such as your school or college. You are responsible for paying the correct application fee, for obtaining and attaching the academic reference and for submitting the completed application online to UCAS.

For all applicants, to make it as easy as possible for you to fill in your online application, there are full instructions at ucas.com

An offer of a place. Applicants for combined courses

Call us: +44 (0)1227 928000 or visit: canterbury.ac.uk /studyhere

There are over 20 subjects available within the 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.

170

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 courses The majority of subjects make a decision as to whether to offer a place based on the application form and, as above, you will informed of the decision by UCAS. For a number of single honours courses the University will select applicants for interview/audition. These include our range of Music and Performing Arts courses, Diagnostic Radiography, Journalism, Midwifery, Nursing courses, Occupational Therapy, Operating Department Practice, 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 course and the University. Always remember that the interview is a two-way process. You need to assess whether the University is the right one for you. 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. For more information, visit: canterbury.ac.uk/interview

Information for applicants requiring DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) clearance If an offer of a place is subject to a DBS check, this will be stated in the relevant course entry on the online prospectus. We will assist you in the process of gaining your DBS enhanced disclosure certificate with further details provided once we progress your application. For more information visit: canterbury.ac.uk/DBS

The framework for higher education qualifications

in England, Wales and Northern Ireland In this prospectus the structure of most courses 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 HE Credit Minimum Designation Level Credits 4

120

Year 2 Year 3

5 6

240 360

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

Equivalent Level Qualifications (ELQs) 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 lower, 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. New students on most pre-registration Health courses are exempt from the ELQ rule, meaning you can access a second set of loans.

Selection and Admissions policy

There is a University Selection and Admissions policy, copies of which can be obtained by writing to the Assistant Director (Admissions), Canterbury Christ Church University, North Holmes Road, Canterbury, Kent CT1 1QU or go to: canterbury.ac.uk/admissionspolicy

Complaints The University has policies and procedures in place for responding to applicants’ complaints about the way in which we handled your application. A copy of the policy and procedures relating to complaints can be obtained from the Assistant Director (Admissions) (see address above) or go to: canterbury.ac.uk/ student-tsandcs

Studying at Christ Church gave me opportunities that I never thought would be possible. I’ve gained so much confidence because of the incredible support provided by the staff and other students at the University, and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone who is considering studying at Canterbury Christ Church University.

Call us: +44 (0)1227 928000 or visit: canterbury.ac.uk /studyhere

Higher education is free at the point of entry for most students through a Tuition Fee Loan.* You may be able to 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 most students who meet the relevant eligibility criteria for fulltime and part-time higher education courses (the latter has to be at a 25% intensity of a full-time course), except those who already have a higher education qualification. It is possible to access a student loan if you are studying a PGCE as a second degree. Students studying nursing, midwifery and most allied health professional subjects as a second degree are also able to obtain student loans. Students in England on nursing, midwifery and most allied health professional (AHP) undergraduate pre-registration courses will have access to the * Subject to eligibility criteria

Important information about this prospectus. Please read carefully. The information was accurate at the time the prospectus was printed in February 2021. On occasions it may be necessary to change details relating to a particular course that commences from September 2022 onwards. Any changes will be set out on the web page relating to the course. It is recommended that prospective students look at the web page both for further information on the course and for any notifications of changes to the details in the prospectus. Where there has been a material change to a course, we will draw this to the attention of applicants at the earliest opportunity. Applicants should not rely solely on this prospectus and should visit the University website for up-to-date information when considering applying to the University: canterbury.ac.uk

We printed this prospectus at the end of February 2021. At the time, the COVID-19 pandemic was ongoing, with some students studying remotely and others having a phased return to campus. With the vaccine roll-out and falling numbers of infections, and taking account of the Prime Minister’s statement on 22 February 2021, we expect a return to more typical teaching and campus life as 2021 progresses. We designed this prospectus for courses starting in September 2022 to reflect this. The wellbeing of our students and staff is at the heart of everything we do. We continuously monitor Government guidance, and we will respond immediately to provide a supportive and safe environment for our University community to support their work and studies.

Some of the courses in this prospectus may be in the process of development or review at the time of going to print. For the latest information on the status of your chosen course, please visit the relevant page on our online prospectus.

Photography throughout this prospectus features Canterbury Christ Church University students and staff. Photography by Jack Peilow, with additional images from Felicity Brambling-Wells, Peter Cook, Jason Dodd, Andrew Francis, Alex Hare, Lucy Mohr and Daisy Watson. This prospectus was designed by the University’s Department of Marketing and Communications and printed by Linney.
