Law with Politics - LLB (Hons)

University rating (5)

Cardiff University provides a safe space for students, cultivates an environment where young minds can expand their culture. In true welsh fashion, the school is a great place to meet like-minded individuals who love studying. The endless amounts of parks around campus are an amazing place to wind-down after a long day at uni. The staff is supportive, creating an environment where studying always comes first.

Architectural Engineering - MEng (Hons)

University rating (4)

School of Engineering facilities are in need of refreshing in general, but are adequate. The SU is everything! It really is the cornerstone of student life.

Pharmacy - MPharm (Hons)

University rating (3)

best - great courses, highly ranked, great lecturers who have much experience and knowledge. great student life, plenty of places to study and some of the buildings are to a very high standard and are very modern. worst - some buildings are in awful condition (mine included - redwood building), it needs a big upgrade, for example there’s currently a rat decaying in the pipes and has been for weeks so stinks out the entire downstairs, there’s barely any food or drink resources - only wending machines which are very rarely even working. There isn’t really a “campus” it’s very spread across the city with not much close together.

Psychology

University rating (5)

Great feeling of community overall! My experiences with my course’s staff have also only been positive. Student Union wise, it’s been voted one of the best in the uk for a reason, as they provide and organise loads of services/ events.

Media, Journalism and Culture - BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

It’s a great uni for social life. The finance team I found was a bit tight. On my campus, there is no microwave or kettle or canteen, just a vending machine. Sometimes, I find the course confusing with the lack of guidance.

Conservation of Objects in Museums and Archaeology

University rating (5)

It’s nice that there are so many resources dedicated to student wellbeing and teachers are really passionate. It would be great if they stopped cutting courses and staff.

Business Management

University rating (5)

Best part is the quality of the facilities and the general variety of experiences and accessibility but one criticism is that I feel the feedback at the uni may at times be vague and be long to respond.

The lecturers are great and offer lots of support. They make sure to give you as many opportunities and the trips are great and an amazing way to learn and apply the knowledge.

Great atmosphere and professors - they are very understanding and look out for your best interests. To improve, having more weekly classes to consolidate content and contact time with professors would be great.

My best aspect of the university experience is their way of teaching and worst experience is searching for accommodation for three months
