5 Reasons to Choose Us:
1) Interdisciplinarity: Our interdisciplinary approach combines intellectual breadth and specialist depth with the aim of encouraging academic excellence.

All the Centre's students have access to the resources at Canterbury Cathedral, including the archives and library. The major collections in London are less than an hour away by train, and thanks to the Channel Tunnel, Paris and other European cities are within easy reach.
3) Research skills: Our Masters programme emphasizes the acquisition of key research skills such as palaeography, codicology and Latin, which are also available to research students.
4) Research culture: Our weekly interdisciplinary research seminars are the cornerstone of a vibrant research culture, with thought-provoking papers from both internal and external speakers providing the occasion for lively discussion. There are opportunities throughout the year for students to present their own research to the Student Forum and at conferences.
5) Student/staff relations: Relationships in the Centre are friendly and informal, encouraging the exchange of ideas and enabling students to develop intellectual confidence.
