The Canterbury campus is built on 300 acres of parkland half an hour’s walk from Canterbury city centre. Residential, teaching and administrative buildings are surrounded by green open spaces, fields and woods.
The campus is self-contained and includes student accommodation, a library, sports centre, theatre, nightclub, eating places and bars, shops, bookshop, medical centre, day nursery, public access computer rooms, chapel, launderettes and bus stops.
The Paris campus is situated at Reid Hall, in the historic heart of Montparnasse, where Picasso and Modigliani had their studios, and near cafés that were frequented by Gertrude Stein and Ernest Hemingway. We are only a few minutes walk from the Luxembourg Gardens, which are an expansive, classically designed park, much frequented by students from the Sorbonne and other Latin-Quarter institutions.
Reid Hall occupies traditional buildings grouped around two quiet and leafy inner courtyards. It was founded as a porcelain factory in the 18th century and has served as a centre for teaching and research since 1834. A more modern wing was added to the Hall, before the Great War of 1914-1918, by expatriate architect Charles White, who also designed a house for novelist Edith Wharton.
The Medway location is a lively campus in a great location near the redeveloped dockside, with amazing buildings, first-class cafés, its own pub, a buzzing social life and a great sense of community.
