Sort:Latest reviewsUniversity has been, overall, wonderful. The students union is a vibrant modern facility, and the staff are lovely. The course provides a great mix of coursework and online exams, and the practicals are very engaging. The majority of lecturers are great, with all having good knowledge of their field. The only disappointment is with some of the lecturers ability to engage an audience. All in all it’s lovely.
The best aspect of uni so far has been how many SU events occur as it allowed me to meet many people and experience University in a fun manner. The staff are very lovely and allowed the experience to be even better. The worst aspect of university has been how trying to figure out the confusing layout of the university as the signs are so small, causing many people to get lost
The area around the university has many green spaces which is amazing. Many support is not given as easily as it's being said (eg. Mental health).
Great su club nights and events
Its a great place for students to interact, a lot of student rooms and facilities where you can meet new people and have fun! The courses are great and are mostly helpful. Some of the programs have issues, but overall are in high quality
Some of the buildings are run down however the student's union is very new and looks really good. there are lots of fun things to do in Cardiff.
love it
Best aspects are the club nights especially silent disco and the events put on like poster sales, food banks and concerts. Worst aspect is the queue to get in on wed night and for the loos once you’re in there.
There is lacking support for students with a learning difficulty, certain modules aren't well taught either.
The university facilities are excellent especially the new centre for student life. In my earlier years at university I also enjoyed the SU club events and concerts. It could be improved by making some memberships more affordable such as the athletic union.
Cardiff is a great city, walkable and super affordable. The modules are diverse and the course structure makes sense. The main thing Cardiff could do to improve is improving their current facilities e.g. John Percival and the ASSL before building new ones.
Absolute self study, lack of guidance. Best is the availability of resources to study and develop skills
Best- good education Worst- lack of student support
Really great student union and academic staff, however management of halls in first year was not the best.
The Unversity campus is well situated in Cardiff, with many things well placed and most of the accommodation a short walk from campus. The students union is excellent in all aspects, there are plenty of extra curricular activities and events. Cleanliness and maintenance of some of the older parts of campus could be improved and a more initial information on how things work (ie entrance to the taf requires a student id) would be appreciated.
I feel the uni is making every effort to make the lives of student even better and it has been successful is doing so
The students Union is great with so many free courses and programs to help students develop their careers and inspire the next generation of leaders.
Too many strikes. Best part is the club nights and appearance of student union
Best aspect is the amount of societies that are available. The SU is a great building and with so much on all the time with great facilities that really cater to making the student life great. Worst experience - maybe the weather, you have to be very used to rain!
