Cardiff University

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.

My first year at Cardiff University has been such an enriching experience. I’ve met many new people from various backgrounds and had numerous new experiences. I fell in love with my course, and the standard of education is amazing at Cardiff. The views and excellent study spaces truly motivate me to spend more time studying. I couldn’t fault my experience at Cardiff.

Over the last 1.5 years I’ve been in Cardiff, I’ve never had a bad experience with any staff or fellow students. It seems as if everyone is truly happy to be there. With the Student Union and many other buildings offering study spaces, cafes, snacks, and personally modified help for students, that’s probably a good reason to enjoy going into campus every day. The campus is widely spread but also close together, so there are many different people you’ll see day to day. Additionally, everything in the city centre, the uni itself holds many events such as club nights, balls, and awards evenings, giving ample opportunities to students! Personally, I am glad that I chose to come here over some of the other universities I applied for as I feel human and appreciated for what I submit to my tutors and by the people I have met here :)

From campus to staff all the way to city life, I love Cardiff!

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.

So helpful and useful. Has lots of useful information that helped me pick the right uni for me.

I had a great experience with Cardiff school of pharmacy. Very high academic standards and excellent academic and mental support. Pharmacist registration exams show cardiff university on the 2nd place one year after graduation. Cardiff is a great city for a student to be and has the advantage of the campus and students union being in the city centre with all facilities. You never feel isolated and gives you the motivation to study and thrive.

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!

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

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.
