Canterbury
Campus life in Canterbury revolves around our six colleges, the Templeman library, state-of-the-art facilities and the students’ union. It offers first-class study resources set among green and tranquil open spaces, as well as cafés, bars and entertainment venues, top-quality sports facilities and the Gulbenkian, an innovative arts centre. With around 15,500 students from 149 countries, the campus has a very cosmopolitan feel.
The campus is within walking distance of the city centre and in a beautiful parkland setting overlooking Canterbury Cathedral, part of a World Heritage site. It is less than an hour’s train journey from London; it is also within easy reach of Paris, Brussels, Lille and the rest of Europe. On 4-6 September, our Canterbury campus hosted the 50th Festival - the finale event of our 50th anniversary year.
