Location
Salomons Campus
The Department of Applied Psychology is based at Salomons Campus, a historic building and estate situated on the outskirts of the attractive spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells. Salomons was previously owned and managed by the National Health Service as a regional conference and training centre. It was acquired in 1996 by Canterbury Christ Church University to provide a campus in the west of Kent focused on postgraduate training, research and consultancy. It is now host to staff from departments from three of the University's faculties. Further information about the history of Salomons can be found at the Salomons Museum.|
