Civil course

(5)·By Aya D·Civil Engineering· Jun 2024
Key parts of my course include competency tests, which means that the module's passing elements can be completed online and retaken until the passing mark is achieved. This helps to reduce some of the stress associated with end-of-year exams. Additionally, there is a student board where we can provide feedback related to our courses, and sometimes changes will be implemented while we are still completing the module.

Philosophy, Year 2

(5)·By Sarah F·Philosophy· Jul 2021
Freshers was an exciting opportunity and that is where I met one of my closest friends. It's definitely needed for first year as it allows you to meet a lot of people. In first year I stayed in TalybontSouth , the halls were standard, nothing special but the social life was the reason it's so popular . Last year when everything was normal the facilities were amazing . The library was where I'd get all my work done and it was very good. My course is very much left up to my own initiative to do it all which is good bit can be hard. Luckily all the lecturers are very supportive and will help you at any time . Since cardiff is a small city it is very nice and welcoming, it can feel really busy especially around Christmas but it still love being in a city .

Brilliant lecturers and you're well supported. Staff have frequent conversations with students to gain feedback. Very good quality of teaching and support as long as you actually put in the effort to learn. Brilliant student mentor scheme too

Great all-rounder

Cardiff is an excellent University with the main city centre not too busy nor too quiet. Perfect balance of excellent facilities, location and price, as accommodation is often significantly cheaper here than in other parts of the UK!

An experience of ups and downs

(5)·By Ava W·Media Studies· Jun 2023
Settling into university was easier than expected and getting used to how everything works took time and was stressful but looking back its been worth it. University so far has made me more social but it has tested me with the work load. However, its taught me more about myself and for that its been worth it.

I study environmental geography and the course is very interesting. I lived in Talybont South in my first year, and it was a great experience. It had a very sociable and community feel. The nights out were always enjoyable and I would often see friendly faces.

University was one of the best choices I've made. Yes it is hard, I'm not going to lie but the experience and knowledge you gain is amazing. Cardiff university really expanded my love for science and I am glad I made this choice.

English, Year 1

(5)·By Sophie S·English Studies· Oct 2018
I love Cardiff University as I was originally looking for a uni that was heavily campus based with a separate city to really get that homely feel when I was studying with the option to go into the city should I choose to.
I feel like Cardiff Uni really gives me that option as the uni buildings are completely separate to the city centre, providing the option of going into the city at all.
The teachings are very well structured, I always know what I will be studying week to week and can be at ease know that my students union will solve any issues I have, from mental health to what is on at the box office!

A lot of contact hours so you get the most out of your course but also enough free time to be a part of societies.
