Canterbury Christ Church (CCC) has its main campus in the rather picturesque town of Canterbury, South-East of the capital in Kent. The university also runs smaller campuses across the county in Folkestone, Medway, Broadstairs and Tunbridge Wells.
ÂBackground and History
CCC started out life as a teacher training college for the Church of England (back then it had an impressive four Cs to its name). It was founded in 1962 and initially taught out of St. Martin's Priory but eventually grew and began offering joint honours and degrees in subjects other than teaching. CCC became a full university in 2005 and was granted the authority to award research degrees in 2009.
Location and Accessibility
By Rail: Trains pull into both Canterbury East and Canterbury West Stations, both of which are about a mile from the campus. Connections to London have improved recently with the introduction of a high speed service.
By Road: The best way to access the Canterbury campus is via the M2 which leads onto the A2. Parking in the town is very limited but some is available around the campus if you're visiting for an open day.
Most facilities are wheelchair friendly and accommodation is available designed for usage by people with disabilities.
