EXPLORE CANTERBURY CAMPUS
We are transforming our city campus, investing £150m in new and extended spaces for learning, teaching and research. This exciting development in the city started with the creation of a stunning creative arts building, followed by a major facility for science, technology, health, engineering and medicine. This impressive building is home to our new and dynamic range of industry-relevant engineering courses. These courses, and new spaces for research and innovation, focus on creativity in engineering, designing real-world solutions and opening up excellent career opportunities for our students and graduates. The new Kent and Medway Medical School (KMMS), a collaboration between Canterbury Christ Church University and the University of Kent, provides firstclass medical education. The new specialist facilities, bringing together engineering, medicine and health, will be an important base for KMMS student doctors studying at both universities.
