Applications are now open for new students applying to University 2019/2020. Find out what you are entitled to receive in maintenance loan (you’ll use this to pay for your accommodation and all other day to day living costs) and get started on your application now.

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.

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!

Helping you to succeed at CCCU

Whether you are in your first year of university or coming to the end of your degree it is good to know that there is a network of professionals to support you every step of the way and help you achieve your goals.

Meningitis Advice

Young people are the second most at risk group of contracting meningitis and septicaemia. As a fresher you are in a high risk group, particularly in the first few weeks of term.

Meet our Peer Mentors

What better way to get to grips with University life than talking to another student who has already gone through the same experience.

Peer mentors are current CCCU students who are here to share their own experiences with you to help you settle into studying at the University. Having only recently gone through the applications process to become a CCCU student, peer mentors know how it feels to be starting University and what will help you make the most of your time at CCCU.

Think you may have Dyslexia?

There’s no reason why having dyslexia should hold you back from succeeding at CCCU. In fact we have many dyslexic students achieving a first class honours  The most important thing is to let us know, as that way we can ensure you have the support you need to succeed. 

Workshops to help you develop your study skills

Whether you’ve just started or you’re a returning student – make use of some extra support in developing and improving your study skills with Academic Learning Development. They’re running workshops throughout the first semester to help all CCCU students with exam, assignment and general study skills.

Have you downloaded the Safezone App?

CCCU is a safe University but you never know when you might need the help of security – whether it is because someone has an accident, needs first aid or there is an unexpected emergency.

SafeZone is a safety app which gives you peace of mind when on campus. It means whatever the situation you don’t have to panic – all you have to do is press a button and Security will be there to assist.
