The campus is great with all buildings being in a close radius while also expanding through a wider area. All staff in the architecture department are extremely helpful and supportive. There are many opportunities presented, and the students' union is amazing. I can think of no faults at all.

Q&A


Q
Is Cardiff Uni welcoming to students with an immigrant status? Have seen reviews of international students who didn't have a good experience and am wondering how it is for those already settled in the UK. Also, how is the mental health support?

The lecturers are knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely passionate about their subjects, which makes learning engaging and motivating. The course structure is well-organised, and there are plenty of academic resources available, including excellent libraries and study spaces. The campus facilities are modern and well-maintained, providing everything students need to succeed. From advanced learning spaces to student support services, the university ensures that students feel supported both academically and personally.

My experience at Cardiff University has been a very real learning journey. The university has high academic standards and is quite strict with deadlines and regulations, which requires you to stay organised and focused at all times. As an international student, this environment has pushed me to become more disciplined and independent in how I approach my studies. There is good academic support available when you reach out, and the university encourages personal and academic growth. Overall, Cardiff University is a reputable institution that prepares students well for future professional expectations.
