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?

Good uni, good courses with a great student life and amazing SU. Lots of support provided if needed and nothing worthy of actual complaints overall.

Very nice uni city, uni itself is lovely. Staff are helpful and there are lots of resources for support. As an estranged student I particularly appreciate the Together at Cardiff bursary fund.

There is a lot to offer at Cardiff university, the careers department and centres such as the writing development centre are brilliant. There is most definitely a society for everyone and the student council are really involved in the student union.

Cardiff University is a great choice of university if you want the perfect mix of academic options, social groups and locations, and sports opportunities, all located in an active city. There is a nice mix of feeling like it’s a campus university which also being in the city.

Great University in a great location. The course could be more interactive though and there could be more events to meet people.
