As it is a campus university, all of the services that students need are all in one place, making it easy for students to find their way around, access different buildings and services too. The campus is also a short bus or car ride away from Canterbury city centre, where there are lots of shops, places to eat, and coffee shops too! If you haven't visited the campus yet, there are open days on the 26th of April and 5th of July. Applicant/offer holder days are also a great opportunity to explore the campus and courses too!

The university is modernising their approach to timetabling, assessment and teaching from September 2025. Releasing timetables early will allow students to plan ahead for their studies, extracurriculars, and other commitments they might have. The university has changed the structure of teaching too, with students having three terms, where they will explore fewer modules but in more depth. Finally, assessments and exams will be sat after the module content has finished, preparing students well for their exams. As a student who has studied with the current system, these changes sound really positive!
