Honestly really great support from all lecturers and the teaching is to a high standard. The facilities are also very good.
The Uni is good and supporting but still are things that need to be improve and the accommodation university Hall do something about transport for that one
Uncertainty about budget Tech issues
I think the CSL is a great building and student futures team are amazing . Career advice is great and there are lots of pro bono options . I also have career confident support got a work experience placement . The social sciences Libary is a bit out dated and could do with some work . Student union is great !
i don’t want to do anymore in person exams.
The students union is great the csl is a good place to study. Having more chairs in the csl would be good to have more potential study spaces.
I've had incredible support from MHULS. i think my course structure is very poor though and absconse procedures need reviewing
Best: Strategic location Worst: Expensive tuition fee
it’s been good so far
Sport is too far away from a lot of the accomadation. Optional modules bit limited Lectures are good and the seminar tutors care. Extra societies are class !!!
History year one optional modules are not very vast/ do not have a lot of choice, and there are being cuts made to ancient history! University halls location is not great, uni bus is good but there should be something a little later or on weekends. Also aren’t any sporting facilities in uni halls and walk to Taly for socials and later training is too long or expensive to access. Student union is great! Mold in my accommodation and issues we’ve had in the flat have been reported but done nothing about. Seminar tutors are lovely and workload is fine, overall I am happy with Cardiff as a uni I just believe some aspects could be widened and uni halls students are seriously disadvantaged.
More microwaves - seems simple but when you’re trying to save money and bring in lunch as a student and there’s maybe 1 microwave it’s not great. I love Cardiff and the city and the staff are all great. The libraries are a bit run down and in exam season it’s hard to find a space. My placement year was the highlight of my experience it was incredible and I have gained so many skills and met some amazing people. There needs to be better funding for staff who support placements - for example bath have a whole indeed style website to help students look for placements - it helps employability especially with first generation uni students
The best was the opportunity to study abroad for one year which was amazing. The worst parts I would say is that areas of the campus look a little run down and in need of a wash. Also sometimes careers support is hard to get because of lack of appointments
top notch
Cardiff is a great city to be a student. I always feel supported academically. Job cuts are bad. Law building is a bit ugly, could do with a renovation.
Welcoming and lots of good study spaces. Some of the buildings look kind of grubby.
4.5
I think if the classes can be late like not in the morning at 9 plus if there should be more events like concerts and networking events
Already have studied before so basics feel boring
If they could be near the building so would be easy to commute
