What students say about social-sciences

I had my Msc in Dental Technology at Cardiff Metropolitan University, and I had a great time. The faculty was ever ready to listen and help navigate me in the right direction. The International Students' office were very prompt in responding to emails and issues. Materials required for my practicals were always sent to me in time. This made me choose them again for my PhD. I am in my first year, and I am enjoying the programme. The graduate Staff are always willing to help with any difficulty or challenge. My supervisors are very helpful and showed so much empathy and understanding when I lost my spouse in December 2025. They moved our meetings to accommodate my emotions. There is support for mental health and other issues. I have not had any issues with any of their services or support, hence I cannot give any advice on what should be improved

What students say about social-sciences

The campus has a nice feel to it with areas of greenery despite being in the city centre. The location is great being close to town- it’s easy to pop into town after lectures for anything I might need. I also do appreciate the small cafe that my building has, it’s great for grabbing lunch in between lectures. I do feel as though the uni is lacking in support for students- as a first year I don’t know who I can speak to about certain aspects of uni life. I do also feel as though study spaces could be updated in the Bute library (the library closest to my building) as this is where I would study more often if this happened. The main libraries are across the other side of campus and don’t make sense to go to when doing work in between lectures. Also, because of where I live and where my building for lectures is situated I rarely pass through that side of campus.
