History

Canterbury Christ Church College was the first teacher training college established by the Church of England in the twentieth century. It was founded in 1962 particularly to meet the needs of Church schools at a time of an acute teacher shortage.Classes were originally held in a building adjacent to St Martin’s Church, St Martin’s Priory, which had been the home of Bishop Rose, a Bishop of Dover.The task confronting the first Principal, the Reverend Frederic Mason, was a daunting one. Without any new buildings in which to teach or accommodate his students, Dr Mason commented: "It is perhaps symptomatic of conditions today that before the sketches and plans had been passed we had been asked to take 460 students."On Tuesday 25th September 1962, the first students, 75 young men and women, arrived to register and commence their studies. The following day, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Michael Ramsay, attended morning prayers in St Martin’s Church....

What I would highlight: I finished my Nursing Studies at Canterbury Christ Church University last month. I really enjoyed my time there on the nursing course.. Plenty of good memories and times... Just an amazing experience, I have no regrets. These past three years have set me up for the rest of my life. I chose this university based on its location, wide open campus and that the course I wanted to do was interesting. I enjoyed my time as an undergraduate here, which further reinforced my decision to do a post-graduate. Also there were over 50 pubs within the city walls - now come on!
What could be improved: Nothing

Nursing Studies: Adult Nursing, BSc - 2016/17

What I would highlight: Practice placements were definitely the best part of the course. Gaining experience in different clinical areas was really interesting. The opportunity to work as part of a team is great and it helps with the transition from student to qualified nurse.
What could be improved: I personally felt that the balance between academic modules such as ethics and research, were focused on a lot more than practice related modules. Knowledge and understanding of these subjects is really important in our line of work, however I felt there was a lot more time spent on this, and no where near enough time spent on areas such as anatomy and physiology and pharmacology. I feel that more knowledge of these subjects would have Increased my confidence when starting out in the profession.

About the course: It was difficult for me in the initial days to be motivated and focus. I had to give my module again as I failed one. I am happy now and living with my boyfriend. It is stressful but it is nice.
