    Resourcefull and helpful but expensive

    Amazingly helpful in terms of studies, library is resourceful, architecture softwares are free for students. However for architecture students they could have included better software tutorials instead of auto tutorials. Most of the time didnt get answers if faced difficulties in this regard so had to figure out myself. In general everything is good but studying and accommodation is very expensive. Thats all.

    A great experience

    I attended Cardiff University quite a few years ago. My course – BA Education – was interesting, well delivered, and allowed for a lot of individual choice (for example, I chose to study all the psychology modules to gain BPS recognition, but others could have focused more on other areas). The campus was quite spread out but the School of Social Sciences was beautiful.

    human geography

    Studying Human Geography and Planning has given me a strong understanding of how people interact with places, spaces, and markets. The course develops skills in research, data analysis, and understanding social trends, which are directly relevant to marketing. Learning about consumer behaviour, urban environments, and spatial patterns has helped me understand how location, culture, and demographics influence marketing strategies. Group projects and presentations have also strengthened my communication and teamwork skills, preparing me well for a marketing-focused internship.

    Cardiff Uni in the 90s

    Absolutely loved it here. The vibe was great at the Uni and around Cardiff itself and I made some lifelong friends.The course I did was quite new so a bit rough around the edges. A good point was that the campus is a stones throw from the city centre.
