The student support you receive here from your lecturers , seminar leaders and personal tutors are so reassuring and helpful .
Beautiful city to study in, great shame about my course being shut, but my uni experience appart from that has been brilliant
the quality of most lectures and learning resources are very high and the facilities are good
Love the uni but the international fees too insane for what we get.
Great campus and city: feels very accessible! Amazing SU :)
Cardiff’s student union is one of the best aspects of my uni experience. They have so events on and makes the uni feel like a community.
The student support is great! There is help on everything from your course to every event
I love the facilities like the centre for student life - good for careers support and studying
Best: I think everything (except journalism and medicine) is very close, makes the uni experience feel nice and local Worst: Not sure how universal this is but don’t like how modules will have multiple lecturers week by week, would prefer consistency of one person Other worst: #saveancienthistory
The athletic union membership is expensive
4.5
Cardiff Uni has a lot going for it. It’s a Russell Group university, so the academics are great, and a lot of the courses have good industry links. The Students’ Union is great, with loads of societies, events, and a decent club. On the downside, some of the study spaces get packed, especially during exam season, and the feedback on assignments can be a bit hit-or-miss depending on your lecturers. Also, while Cardiff is still cheaper than most big cities, rent and general living costs are creeping up
teaching is overall great on most of the modules i’ve taken, however, being a joint honours student (sociology and media) staff do not take into account the commute from socsci to jomec in between lectures
the location of my student halls were great, however my flatmates made me feel very uncomfortable living there and when i brought it up to staff and request to move accommodation they were not very accommodating and basically told me to “deal with it"
