StudyFit is a new programme launched by CCCU Sport for students, who are worried about their stress, low self-esteem, anxiety or low mood. The introductory 6 week StudyFit programme will help students to take part in a range free of activities to help them develop an active lifestyle, with the aim of improving their mental wellbeing

At your StudyFit induction, you will receive a StudyFit membership which gives you free and easy access to the Christ Church Sport facilities, including the Gym, Social Sport Programme and Exercise Classes.

Many students (Level 5 and 6) can choose their modules from 9am, today.

We know that the more you engage with your programme the more you will get out of your education experience and the more you are likely to succeed.

Canterbury Christ Church University and the Christ Church Students’ Union have made the mental health of students and staff a strategic priority.

Taking a whole University approach, we have developed with students and staff, an ambitious and aspirational Mental Health and Wellbeing Framework, which we are looking forward to sharing as part of University Mental Health Day on 7 March.

Social media is a great communication tool but it also has its risks. We would like to remind students of the Canterbury Christ Church University Social Media Policy which is aimed at protecting students who use, or intend to use, social media.
