We pride ourselves on our diverse and friendly community and recognise that different students have different needs.

Whatever your personal background or circumstance we want to ensure you are represented and included in the support and opportunities we offer.

Top Tips:

  • Our student wellbeing advisors are trained to provide confidential support for all our students - so whatever is on your mind they are there for you.  
  • The Students' Union offer lots of different societies such as the Black, Asian and Minoritised Ethnic (BAME) Students Network or the Parents Network - so you can find like minded people, share experiences and make connections.
  • All our care leavers are given a designated member of staff to offer one-to-one advice and support from day one right up to graduation.
  • At Canterbury Christ Church University we expect respect for everyone and believe that abuse, bullying, harassment and hate crime are never OK. We have an online Report+Support tool so you can feel confident that if you witness or experience harassment it will be taken seriously, and we will be here to support you.
