I was quite fortunate because my lecturers and tutors were great. Since the majority of them hold PhDs, their enthusiasm for what they were teaching truly made a difference. Regarding the city itself, I loved it there. Since everything is so close together, we could pretty much walk everywhere in this place. However, Cardiff might not be for you if you’re a large city kind of guy. I absolutely enjoyed my time there and I would certainly recommend.

I completed my Master’s at Cardiff University, in the Welsh School of Architecture. My course, the MA in Architectural Design was extremely hands-on and practice-based, which is what I was searching for in an Arts degree. The staff is highly skilled and accommodating to international students, which is something I was initially worried about. Overall, I’m incredibly satisfied with the quality of education I received. The one downside is that I completed my Master’s during the Covid-19 pandemic, and therefore experienced more than I wanted to remotely. There were also occasional technical difficulties that arose from this.

Located in the lovely capital city of Wales, Cardiff University is one of the best universities I studied in. It provides a high-quality research-based university education. Student Union and the facilities are easily accessible and helpful creating a supportive student-friendly environment.
