Finding a Part-Time Job

Now you have your place at CCCU, you may want to start thinking about getting a part-time job or even work out your next career move – it is never too early to start planning your future!

Knowing that you have secured part-time work before arriving at university can be reassuring for many students. Being able to earn some extra cash, plan a budget and live within your means is a good start to new independent living.  A part-time job is also a great way to develop skills, try something new, settle in and make some new friends.

Managing on a budget

Four in ten first-year students said they’d found managing money trickier than expected, and a worrying 15% said they were struggling financially.

But if you plan ahead and think about finances before you arrive you can make sure that you stay within your budget while also having a great time!

Commuting to University

A large number of CCCU students decide that commuting is the best option for them – so if you are going to be travelling from home you will not be the only one.

Disability and Mental Health Support

Here at Christ Church we are proud of our inclusive campuses offering all our students a fair and enjoyable learning experience, regardless of disability or difference.

Above all we want to support every student to achieve their potential and succeed in their studies. So If you have a physical or mental disability, or a learning difference, whether formally diagnosed or not, let us know as soon as you can.

Meet your Student Facebook Ambassadors

The Facebook Group for those students starting at Christ Church in September 2018-2019 has opened. And every day you will be looked after by one of our Student Social Media Ambassadors who knows exactly what you are going through, can help answer your questions or at least signpost you to someone who will know the answer.

Here is a brief introduction to Jake, Brooke and Lucy and some of their tips on getting the most out of life at CCCU…

You University Accommodation

We want our Canterbury Christ Church University accommodation to be like a home from home for you…
