I was lucky as due to the mess that was covid grades I didn’t get what I needed to get into Cardiff but they were very understanding and gave me another offer even before my grades were changed which was a huge relief.

I’m now in my third year and can say confidently that Cardiff is a great uni, my time here has been great both academically and socially and I’m just sad to be graduating so soon. Had a blast and chances are you will too

Cardiff University is a homely uni set in the capital of Wales, surrounded by picturesque parks, the bay and endless social spots. Cardiff’s SU has been newly refurbished and transformed into a light and airy space, always packed with students. The SU is renowned for being the student hotspot and is undoubtedly the best night out in the city. When I first came to Cardiff I was apprehensive, as all freshers are, but the uni feels very friendly and you feel at home after the first few days. You will never run out of activities, what with the arcades, the sea and as many pubs and clubs as you could imagine within walking distance.

It was a positive and satisfying experience all around. I enjoyed the environment there, and it was wonderful that there were lots of enjoyable activities that made everyone there admire one another. The course was also excellent, and it helped me a lot in securing the job.

The entire impression was positive and satisfying. The environment there is nice, and it’s amazing that there were so many enjoyable things that everyone there really enjoyed themselves. The course was also excellent, and it helped me a lot in gaining the job.

Ever since I’ve arrived the support and teaching at the uni has been great, Cardiff is a fantastic city especially as a student. The teachers have all been very helpful and really helped ease into the degree which was especially helpful as I didn’t study politics at A-Level.

The support and teaching from Cardiff have been great but over the numerous lockdowns they didn’t ever really seem to grasp online learning and following the easing of restrictions, they dropped support for online learning both the good parts and the bad.

Overall the experience thus far has been really good but like most universities and courses there were some clear struggles with the shift to remote learning and then a rush to go back to ‘normal’ after restrictions began lifting that has seen notably lower attendance in lectures and seminars. The course is interesting and many of the professors are engaging and passionate, although a few seem somewhat disinterested.
