Student Reviews for Canterbury Christ Church University

Student satisfaction:
4.2 (based on 390 student reviews)

“I appreciate the initiatives that the teachers and students take part in for improving our employment opportunities. Most courses have their own Facebook group that they use to share relevant employment opportunities, so it feels like we’re all looking out for each others’ interests.”

“As a student with disabilities I was easily able to move between all my classes, and the university deserves credit for how accessible they’ve made their buildings. Academically, I was pleased with the level of difficulty on my Business and Management course as I didn’t feel it was too basic nor too advanced, and the university even set me up with a work placement.”

“My biggest complaints about studying here are that the Wi-Fi drops a couple of times per day, and the parking situation is pretty chaotic. Apart from that I can highly recommend the general experience of studying here.”
