I love this university and my course, LLB Law. From the very beginning, I was unsure and constantly had doubts about my university choices but after coming to Cardiff, I have fallen for it completely. It doesn’t just have the English’s perspective on judicial matters but Wales, Scots and Irish ones as well, the lecturers are able to teach in detail of other opinions when it comes to legal matters and are not limited to the thoughts of those in Westminster parliament, be it when it comes to devolved issues, conflicting ideas on Brexit, independence and etc. Personally, I feel like this act of opposition is a perfect reflection of what the UK is – different nations with their own origins and people coming together with a single purpose under one flag.

Some would say, if you’re looking to stay out dancing until the early hours of the morning, Cardiff City Centre is the place to be. Cardiff’s nightlife is widely known as one of the UK’s liveliest. However, if you’re looking for something more sophisticated, it also offers multiple fine dining restaurants and bars. If you’re in need of something to wear for your night on the town, you’ll be sure to find something amongst the 150 shops St David’s Shopping Centre has to offer.
As Cardiff University is the only Russell Group University to offer both courses currently required to qualify as a barrister or solicitor (the Bar Professional Training Course and the Legal Practice Course), this provides students with an opportunity to stay at Cardiff to complete their entire legal education, thus enabling further career prospects and higher rates of employability. Cardiff also offers great placement opportunities to gain valuable graduate-level experience as a paralegal. This includes case management, legal research and legal writing. Cardiff University consistently provides its students with opportunities to better themselves through educational opportunities.
Now in my final year of Cardiff University, I can say I have experienced all it has to offer. My time spent at Cardiff has been not only rewarding but has encouraged me to grow. I have become more confident, and social and met so many people who I can call my friends. Excitingly, I will be continuing my legal studies at Cardiff University to undergo the Legal Practice Course. I am incredibly grateful to return to Cardiff and have them support me to fulfil my aspiration of becoming a solicitor.
In the autumn semester mostly everything was online with an exception of a few seminars and tutorials but starting the spring semester, everything is moving back in person. The professors provide detailed content that is easy to understand and give certain guidance to work. The feedback is also quite clear, showing you how to improve. There are always classes being provided on how to improve your work. The facilities are very clean and are very spacious especially with covid still around. Overall, a good start for first-year happy to continue.
