Teaching is consistent with lectures and seminars every week, with readings provided online to do from the comfort of wherever you choose to study. There are 24/7 libraries and plenty of different places you can go to study, with bookable rooms. The university is centrally located so it's easy to between halls, student accommodations, city centre, and the university. The Centre For Student Life building has staff to support you in any way you need, and your personal tutor means that there's always somewhere you can go. The University facilitated me to volunteer abroad and funded this opportunity so I'd fully recommend taking advantage of all the opportunities offered to you! Finally, the SU is incredible with so many societies and sports clubs that you can take advantage of a new interest, or further an old one. I've taken up several and am making the most of it all! The only major improvements that should be made involve general refurbishment of non-Stem buildings to bring them in line so that non-STEM students feel as valued!

The course is taught largely synchronously, with different teaching across different modules. This includes seminars, plenary sessions, workshops, and lectures. In some places lectures are prerecorded to enable all contact time to be interactive, which works well. In most places lectures are delivered in person, with readings to do before seminars to enable better discussions. The contact hours range between 8-12 hours a week

Good value for money, brilliant student location surrounded by most of the other freshers. Had a safe feel, close to shops, pubs, university and a 20 minute walk from the city centre.

Cardiff have amazing 24/7 library facilities and their priority for students from the begining is to help them transition to university life. Ensuring we understand the new technology and facilities and work expectation but also ensure that we know where we can get help from. The student union is incredible and I find myself finding different new things to do there everytime I walk in (plus drinks are half price every couple of days)! While we aren't in a campus uni it feels slightly secluded from the city, surrounded by student housing and halls but after a 5 minute walk you're in town right next to clubs and shops and even the castle. Cardiff in general has such a welcoming vibe and after living here for a couple months the town already feels like home.

History at Cardiff doesn't have many contact hours (around8/9 a week) but that does mean you have to do most of the research yourself. We are taught how to find information and research, different ways to research and help us to become proper historians where we can look at up to date arguments between historians and come up with our own arguments. The lectures do come with slides however the teachers don't just read off slides they speak about the topic themselves because they are truly passionate about them. If you do miss a lecture you will be able to find a recording of it within a couple of days so you never miss out. They are never really online which I really like.

My halls is the closest to my lectures which is so useful and the facilities are brilliant, the rooms are a tad small but that is due to our en-suites. If we ever have problems with the facilities management fixes them within 24 hours of notification or immediately depending on the circumstances. I've really enjoyed living there
