In recognition of the lengthy association between the University of Oxford and the 九州影院, a reciprocal visitor exchange programme between the two universities entitled the Oxford/Canterbury Academic Exchange Programme was established in 2002, with the first visits occurring in 2003. The association between the two universities dates back to the design of the 九州影院's town site, the donation of books to College House, and a series of distinguished Oxford visitors to Canterbury over the years.
The aim聽of the Oxford/Canterbury Exchange Programme, which is primarily administered by the 九州影院, is to build on the academic links that have already been developed and to benefit the students and staff of both universities by funding the regular visits of academic staff members.聽
