The University Bookshop – all you need to know
The bookshop is based at the heart of the North Holmes Road campus in Canterbury, within the Laud building.
The University Bookshop is independent!
It is a campus bookshop owned by the University and an integral part of the services offered by Student Life and Library Services.
This means that your interactions and purchases within the bookshop are more personal.
The bookshop is open to all, whether you are a student, alumni, or a member of the public!
“The University Bookshop is filled with the usual textbooks… to satisfy academic needs, but it is also stocked with many things of intrigue and wonder.” – Robert Ince
What’s stocked at the bookshop?
The books that are stocked cover all you need, from set texts to fiction. Allowing you to broaden your reading and mind while at CCCU.
Almost any title not available within the shop can be ordered for the next working day – resulting in over half a million general and academic titles at your fingertips!
If the next working day is not possible, your book will be available within a few days.
Discounts are available!
Within the bookshop a range of price-promotion is on offer, from amazon price matching to an automatic 10% discount off all titles.
