You will be able to choose from a range of modules taught by leading experts in their field, design your own short courses, receive training in research skills, run your own reading group, undertake work placements, and complete a dissertation. Canterbury Christ Church University has a vibrant and supportive postgraduate community, where you will be able to participate in and present at workshops, seminars, and conferences.

I will email you in early September with information about a specially designed series of induction events that will support your understanding of how to make the most out of the MA.

You are not expected to undertake any pre-arrival tasks before you arrive at the University.

Your welcome and induction will be w/c 16 September 2024 - we look forward to meeting you then.
