CCCU Awarded Silver in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF)
TEF Panel judged that the higher education provider delivers high quality teaching, learning and outcomes for our students. The award also shows that we consistently exceeds rigorous national quality requirements for UK higher education. This is exciting news and we want to build on top of this award by giving you a voice within the University. You can learn more about Student Voice on the student webpages.
LibrarySearch is Changing
At the end of July, we’re changing to a new system for LibrarySearch.
Follow these steps to get ready for the change:
- Tidy up your library account: return any books you don’t need, and pay off any fines you may have.
- Export your e-Shelf references from LibrarySearch: email them to yourself or import them into your preferred reference management software.
- Keep an eye here on the Student Blog: we’ll keep you posted about key dates and developments.
Why is LibrarySearch changing? This is happening as part of a collaborative Library Systems project involving the Universities of Kent and Greenwich, as well as Canterbury Christ Church University. The new system will allow us to make improvements to the way you borrow books in future, bringing benefits for university staff and students, as well as a refreshed look for LibrarySearch. More information will be available next month.

From Brontë to Bloomsbury Fourth International Conference: Reassessing Women’s Writing of the 1900s and 1910s
Mon 10 – Tue 11 July, Old Sessions House, students: two days £60 / one day £30
This project aims to trace and reassess, decade by decade, how women’s writing develops in the cultural context of the 1840s to the 1930s: a transformative period in women’s private, public and literary lives. Including the work of canonical authors such as Charlotte Brontë and Virginia Woolf, the project is also significantly concerned with rediscovering and repositioning the lives and work of neglected female authors.
Blackboard Update for 2017/18
An update to the Blackboard system is scheduled to take place on Tuesday 1st August 2017 from 6am and will last for up to 48 hours.
