DEVELOPING ENTERPRISING PROFESSIONAL GRADUATES Studying a subject that interests and inspires you is a key reason for embarking on a university degree. But you want to know that you’ll also develop the skills that employers value, to maximise your career prospects after you graduate.

At Christ Church we’ll work with you and support you to ensure you’ll develop the skills, confidence and attributes you need for a bright future and a great career. All of our courses have work-related experience built into the curriculum, which includes input from employers and professional bodies. In fact, many of our teaching staff continue to be active in their industries and professions so they can bring real world expertise into their teaching. You’ll also have lots of opportunities to take part in personal development activities including employer mentoring, careerrelated workshops and business sector focused networking events. There’s plenty of encouragement and support for would-be entrepreneurs too.

10

Christ Church offers financial support to help you do unpaid or low paid work experience/ placements. Subject to eligibility criteria and availability, this may include support for travel expenses, overnight accommodation, professional workwear, and seed funding for business start-up projects.

Our careers service is here to provide you with information, advice and guidance relating to careers, jobs and planning your future. You can get support with everything from developing your CV through to preparing for interviews and assessment centres, and advice on starting your own business. As soon as you enrol on your course, you’ll have access to The CORE – an online information system available as a mobile app with hundreds of resources tailored to help you choose and enhance your future career. You’ll also be able to get personal advice from members of the team at The CORE drop-in areas, and visiting employers and experts. WORKING AND VOLUNTEERING You can earn some extra money while you study and build your CV by registering with Unitemps – our in-house recruitment service. They advertise vacation work, internships, placements, part- and full-time work and graduate roles. The Volunteering Team works closely with the Student Union to operate a volunteering brokerage service, matching you with volunteering opportunities in the local area and across the UK. This provides an opportunity to develop skills, gain professional experience and boost your wellbeing. T O F I N D O U T M O R E V I S I T:

OUR CAMPUSES 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. London is less than an hour from Canterbury by highspeed train and the continent is within easy reach. Major international airports are also close by.

CANTERBURY As a World Heritage Site, Canterbury is one of the country’s ‘must see’ destinations. You’ll be studying right at the heart of this great student city. With historic streets, ancient city walls, 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.

THE HISTORIC CENTRE O F C A N T E R B U R Y.

M E D WAY The Medway Campus is close to the historic naval town of Chatham and Rochester, with its beautiful cathedral. 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.

We offer great facilities at our Canterbury Campus. Students can step out into a vibrant and world-famous cathedral city and also benefit from a campus with excellent learning and teaching resources, music venues, a superb sports centre, a well-stocked bookshop and plenty of coffee bars and places to eat. In fact, we’ve invested more than £80m over the last decade on new and renovated buildings, part of our commitment to providing a first-class student experience.

YOU CANTERBURY

Over the next 10 to 15 years, this investment will continue, as we plan to transform our Canterbury Campus with new and extended spaces for learning, teaching and research. This exciting £150m development in the city started with the creation of a stunning Arts facility. This will be followed by a new facility for Science, Engineering, Technology and Health, and the conversion of the former Canterbury Prison site next to our campus.

If you’re studying at our Medway Campus, you’ll have the chance to rent a room in one of the purpose-built flats in the private provider Liberty Quays development, who own and manage the flats. Grouped into modern flats for six or eight students, they feature shared communal lounges and fully equipped kitchens.

Security caretakers are on hand at our larger sites 24 hours a day, or just a phone call away at smaller sites. www.canterbury.ac.uk/ study-here/accommodation

A combined honours degree will allow you to:

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

• meet an even wider range of students to work with and make friends. MA XIMISE YOUR EM PLOYA B I L I T Y 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. You’ll find a full list of the combinations in the back index.

YOUR COURSE America is distinct among modern countries because of the stories it tells about itself; as the land of the free, and as a site of endless possibilities. A degree in American Studies asks you to uncover the stories that are not being told and to interrogate the world’s superpower using a variety of disciplinary approaches. This degree will equip you with the tools you need to make sense of the world and to learn from a decidedly decolonised curriculum that privileges the histories and cultures of marginalised and oppressed peoples. Our academics are leading researchers in American Cinema, History, Literature, and Politics and we bring our expert knowledge to bear in challenging and rewarding classes.

YOUR CAREER Recent graduates have gone on to further study, as well as 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. Employability is a cornerstone of our degree course and our academic team will offer expert guidance and support as you consider your next steps. Our Applied Humanities module provides opportunities for work-based learning relevant to your degree subject. FY Also available with a Foundation Year: see p53 NA North America Exchange: see p20

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS ADDITIONAL ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

GCSES AND THEIR EQUIVALENT

ACCESS QUALIFIC ATIONS

Generally, offers will be made in terms of UCAS Tariff points but there are exceptions to this. 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 2017 GCSE English and Maths exams are now 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 four 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.

We welcome applications from people who have, or are taking, an accredited Access qualification. Please check the tariff calculator on www.ucas.com to work out your UCAS Tariff points.

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.

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

The IBCP is a relatively new two-year international education programme. Applications from students who are taking or have successfully completed this programme are very welcome at Canterbury Christ Church University. 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.

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 QUALIFIC ATIONS

ANY QUESTIONS?

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: ipo@canterbury.ac.uk or admssions@canterbury.ac.uk or, if you are based overseas, from your local British Council office.

If you have any questions about entry requirements, direct entry etc., please contact our Course Enquiry Team, who will be happy to help.

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.

Functional skills at Level 2 are accepted for the Adult, Child and Mental Health Nursing degrees and for 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.

EQUIVALENT LEVEL QUA LIFIC ATIONS (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 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. 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 of Admissions, Canterbury Christ Church University, North Holmes Road, Canterbury, Kent CT1 1QU or go to Downloads at: www.canterbury.ac.uk/ undergraduate-courses COMPLAINTS The University has policies and procedures in place for responding to applicants’ complaints about the way in which we handled your application.

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 standard student support package of tuition fee loans and support for living costs. Further information regarding funding for Health students can be found on www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk, the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) website. Students are advised to check the website on a regular basis for the latest funding information.
