Canterbury Christ Church University

Our University started out as a teacher training college in the 1960s in response to a national shortage of teachers. Today we continue to shape our courses and research around critical social issues both nationally and globally.

Canterbury Christ Church College opened in 1962 as a teacher training institution to address a shortage of Church of England school teachers, starting with 75 students and nine teachers, led by Principal Dr. Frederic Mason. In 1964, the college moved to its new North Holmes Road site, and in 1965, it welcomed HRH Queen Elizabeth II for a visit. The early 1970s saw the introduction of its first degree program, the Bachelor of Education, while 1976 marked the launch of non-teaching degrees, starting with a BA in English with Religious Studies. The 1980s brought further diversification, including the first non-teacher education course in Radio, Film, and Television (RFTV) in 1980, and in 1987, health-related professional courses began with a diploma in Occupational Therapy. By 1988, student enrollment reached 1,500, and in 1989, the School of Nursing was integrated into the college through a merger with local nursing schools
