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

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.
