The university's campus reflects this duality, featuring striking, historic architecture—like the building likely captured in your photo—alongside modern, state-of-the-art facilities such as the Centre for Student Life. Academically, students benefit from high-quality teaching that leads to strong graduate outcomes, while socially, the experience is unparalleled due to the award-winning Students' Union, which serves as the vibrant hub for over 200 societies and is conveniently located just steps from the compact city centre and massive green spaces like Bute Park.

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?
