Student Review: 5 /5

I loved my time at this university. The place during the summer and spring is like out of a movie and it has a very central location so everything is closely accessible to students ie. the city centre, the students union, the centre for student life, 4 main libraries and Bute park are all at a 30 minute walk from each other!!

Cardiff is a city uni that feels more like a Camus uni. The university buildings are all very close together which makes navigating around quite easy. However the student accommodation can be quite far away. I have been put in Ty pont haearn which it quite a far distance away from the rest of the student accommodation. I feel as though if you are not in one of the Talybont residences it can be quite difficult to make friends within the university.

Cardiff University offers a vibrant academic atmosphere, rooted in a city that blends historical charm with modern innovation. The campus is well-equipped, providing students with the resources needed for success in their chosen fields. The faculty are generally leaders in their respective disciplines, offering insightful instruction and valuable research opportunities. However, like any large institution, experiences can vary significantly between departments. Some students find the administrative processes challenging, and class sizes can sometimes feel overwhelming. Despite these issues, the university's commitment to research and its strong links to industry provide a solid foundation for career development. Overall, Cardiff University is a commendable choice for higher education, particularly for those looking to immerse themselves in a research-intensive environment. The city itself offers a rich cultural backdrop, enhancing the overall student experience and contributing to a

I’ve joined many societies and had the chance to go to many events where I’ve met amazing people who I speak to regularly now. I’ve been automatically connected to Eduroam in every building I’ve gone to as well and it hasn’t been a hassle which is great.

As a current international student studying in Cardiff University, I must say that it offers a fantastic student experience, blending academics with a vibrant city life. Its diverse and high-quality programs are taught by passionate experts, fostering critical thinking and engagement. Beyond academics, the student union offers a wealth of societies and opportunities for personal growth. The lively city of Cardiff provides with a rich cultural backdrop, as it is the capital of Wales and offers a student friendly environment; the main reason I chose Cardiff in the first plac3e. I personally feel that it is an excellent choice for those seeking a rewarding and well-rounding university experience.

I honestly love Cardiff University. It’s such a great place to study. There are loads of good spaces around campus to get work done, whether you want somewhere quiet or a bit more lively. The library is great but there are also loads of hidden spots that are perfect for studying or meeting up with coursemates. The societies and clubs are such a big part of uni life too. There is something for everyone and it is such a fun way to meet people and try new things. It really makes you feel part of a community. Overall, it is just a great vibe here and I am really glad I chose Cardiff.

I've really enjoyed my first year at Cardiff University. I am studying Applied Software Engineering. The course is a fantastic way to help build your coding knowledge and gain the skills needed to become a software engineer without having to learn a lot of the theory that is taught on Computer Science courses. I personally didn't enjoy the theory aspect of Computer Science so this was the best option for me. If anyone else is in the same boat as me then this is the perfect course for you.
