Founded as a Church of England college for teacher training in 1962, it was granted university status in 2005.[5] The university has developed rapidly since its inception in 1962 and now has [https://www.canterbury.ac.uk/about-us/docs/facts-and-figures/student-and-staff-figures.pdf around 15,000 students] based at locations across Kent in Canterbury, Medway (as part of the Universities at Medway partnership) and Tunbridge Wells. As well as being Kent's largest centre of higher education for the public services – notably teacher training, health and social care and the emergency services – the university also offers academic and professional programmes, including doctorates and research degrees in the arts, humanities and social and applied sciences. The University is also developing its portfolio of STEM courses, including [https://www.canterbury.ac.uk/about-us/estate-master-plan/seth.aspx engineering] and medicine. The university is working with industry and businesses in the south east to develop its STEM courses and is working in partnership with the University of Kent on the development of the medical school. Canterbury Christ Church University is a member of The Cathedrals Group (officially the Council of Church Universities and Colleges or CCUC). HistoryEstablishmentCanterbury Christ Church College (CCCC) was [https://www.canterbury.ac.uk/about-us/a-brief-history.aspx founded in 1962] by the Church of England in order to meet the needs of church schools at a time of teacher shortage. Classes were originally held in the priory next to St Martin's Church. The founding principal was the Revd Frederic Mason.[6]In 1968, the first degree programme, the Bachelor of Education, was established as a one-year extension to the Certificate in Education. In 1976, the University launched its first non-teaching degree, a BA in Religious Studies. In the late 1980s, the college was substantially enlarged by the addition of health studies and by 1988 the University had 1500 students.[7] University college statusIn 1995, the college was awarded the authority by the Privy Council to grant its own degrees for taught courses,[8] upon which the college's name was changed to Canterbury Christ Church University College. This form of the name was adopted to avoid confusion with Christ Church, Oxford (one of the Oxford University colleges) and University of Canterbury, in Christchurch, New Zealand. University statusThe college was granted the university status in 2005, which recognised the successful delivery of degree programmes and adopted a new name, Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU).[9][10] The Archbishop of Canterbury was later appointed, by virtue of office, as chancellor. The inauguration of the university and the installation of Rowan Williams as chancellor took place in a ceremony at Canterbury Cathedral in December 2005.[9] In 2007, the university attracted publicity due to its controversial policy forbidding civil partnership ceremonies to take place at its properties.[11] This decision by the university's governing body has since been reversed and in 2018, the University sponsored Pride Canterbury.[12][13] In 2009, the university was granted power to award research degrees by the Privy Council.[14] The 50th anniversary of foundation was celebrated in September 2012[15], with a ceremony in Canterbury Cathedral at which more than 60 surviving members of the first intake were awarded honorary Bachelor of Education degrees and the chancellor, Rowan Williams, was awarded an honorary doctorate. In February 2013, Justin Welby became the 105th Archbishop of Canterbury and became chancellor of the university. In October 2013, Rama Thirunamachandran joined the university and in March of the following year was officially installed as vice-chancellor and principal in a ceremony held at Canterbury Cathedral. CampusesNorth HolmesThe University's Canterbury Campus, at North Holmes Road, is built on land which was once used for orchards and domestic buildings of the adjacent St Augustine's Abbey, part of Canterbury's World Heritage Site. The campus is a low-rise development centred on a courtyard adjacent to the chapel of Christ in Majesty. The chapel roof, formed of four isosceles triangles in glass, is a distinctive local landmark.[16] The campus buildings are largely named after former Archbishops of Canterbury.[17] The nearby Grade II listed[18] former church of St Gregory, has been developed as a performance space for the university's choirs and musical ensembles. Most of these performances are open to the public.[19] In addition to its main Canterbury Campus, the university occupies other sites around the city including Sidney Cooper Gallery, Hall Place Enterprise Centre, Christ Church Sports Centre, Augustine House and the St George's Centre. Sidney Cooper GalleryIn 2000, Canterbury Christ Church acquired the lease of the Sidney Cooper Gallery in Canterbury city centre, originally established as an art school by the noted cattle painter Thomas Sidney Cooper in 1868. Art students moved into the building in December 2002, taking it back to its original use as an art school. In 2004, the refurbished gallery space opened to the public. The gallery exhibits staff and student work, as well as work by local, national and international artists. Hall PlaceHall Place, a 16th-century building in Harbledown, has been renovated and renamed Hall Place Enterprise Centre. It is home to the Centre for Enterprise and Business Development, a gateway for business support and access to academic resources and training programmes for small businesses. Christ Church Sports CentreIn 2009 the university built Christ Church Sports Centre which houses health and fitness facilities for students and staff.[20] The centre includes facilities for a variety of sports including cricket, volleyball, badminton, football and netball, an exercise studio, a climbing wall and a gym. The university was used as preparation grounds by the national team of Puerto Rico at the 2012 Summer Olympics. St George's CentreThe St George's Centre opened at the beginning of the 2012 academic year. This incorporates the Students’ Union facilities, bars and accommodation for two hundred residents. Planned Developments at the Canterbury CampusFollowing the university's purchase of the former Canterbury Prison[21] site in April 2014, the university undertook a review of its entire estate to ensure that it was able to meet the university's strategic and academic vision. In April 2017 Canterbury City Council approved the university's plans for a new arts building on the North Holmes Campus. From January 2019 the new building offers students state-of-the-art learning space and technology. Plans for a new building for science, engineering, technology and health were approved in December 2017. The building project was awarded over £6m of government funding along with £7m of funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for England.[22] The new building is due to open in 2020 and will be home to the university's Kent and Medway Engineering, Design, Growth and Enterprise (EDGE) Hub and new courses in Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Product Design and Software Engineering. It will also provide teaching space for the new [https://kmms.canterbury.ac.uk/kent-and-medway-medical-school.aspx Kent and Medway Medical School] – a joint initiative with the University of Kent. The medical school is also due to open in 2020. MedwayThe Medway Campus opened in October 2004 as part of the Universities at Medway partnership, which includes the three universities; [https://www.canterbury.ac.uk Canterbury Christ Church University], the University of Kent and the University of Greenwich. Programmes in health, social care and early years are provided here. The campus is home to the university's Centre for Health and Social Care and has been equipped with a mixture of teaching space, specialist facilities and staff offices. The two buildings on this campus are Rowan Williams Court (RWC),[23] and Cathedral Court. Students and staff also have access to the re-furbished Drill Hall Library, which has been created in the former Royal Engineers Drill Hall, and is used by all students from the Universities at Medway partnership. BroadstairsThe University has discontinued recruitment to the Broadstairs Campus and is transferring courses to the Canterbury Campus.[24] Meadow Road, Tunbridge WellsThe University's Salomons Centre for Applied Psychology is based at Meadow Road, in the centre of Tunbridge Wells. Salomons Centre for Applied Psychology offers postgraduate clinical psychology programmes including a doctorate in clinical psychology and a PhD in professional practice. It also provides training for local NHS Trusts. The centre was formerly based at the Salomons Estate in Tunbridge and moved to its present location in October 2017 with comedian, and former psychiatric nurse, Jo Brand officially opening the building.[25] Academic profilePartnershipsThe university has a diverse range of partnerships, which fall into five main categories:

In May 2018, the university won a prestigious International Green Gown Award in recognition of its commitment to sustainability and its progress in this area. Between 2010 and 2016, the university reduced its gas and electricity consumption by almost 25%.
