There is a lot of support for mature students
Good nursing lecturers and support. Need improvement in student union programs accommodating nursing students more. Even a small fridge in Heath library would be so useful, plus coffee essentials like in students union study area.
Great SU. Great engineering facilities, especially for civil. Civil course includes a lot of structural which is good. Love the city, loads of great clubs.
The city is mostly walkable but public transport is still an option whenever needed. Student support can be hard to find out about but when you get in touch with the right person, and they're making this easier to do every year, it can lift a weight off your shoulders.
Course is good SU is mostly good CUAC is not prioritised and does not have adequate training sessions
Lovely location
Lovely city, great student union, excellent sports facilities
Good location and nice access to different places. Bad points is repetitive teaching
Clean uni, super easy to find things and the non-campus style is great for making u feel like part of city life. The SU runs a variety of events all year around and they are great and super accessible. Highlight is the affordable taf pub
The best aspect is how walkable Cardiff is as a university and there is a lot of public transport to be able to get to places. The students union always have events on and are always taking on feedback and implementing changes. The worst aspects are some buildings don't look very nice and we feel that there hasn't been as much effort being put into the dentistry building as they are with the medicine buildings.
There are lots of great study spaces, yet more space is needed during exam time
The location is great with so much to close to do. The facilities could be updated
The campus help and availability is amazing. It seems as though everybody is willing to help you out on any needs you have. Student life is fun and there is rarely a dull moment as you can always find something to do. The only issue is since it is a city campus, I have to do a lot of walking since my classes are in the city centre, but all other activities are near the main campus and students union. The campuses physical and athletic support could be improved however. As facilities are minimal and there’s minimal space for physical training and recovery for top teams and athletes outside of practices which other universities fulfill. Overall, Cardiff is a wonderful place to study and the nightlife is simply amazing. No matter what type of person you are you can find something right for you at Cardiff.
Good range of libraries but each have diffent open hours. wish the engineering, computer science adn physics library was open 24 hours like the humanitarian library.
Lecturers are pretty relaxed, there’s good balance between uni buildings + greenery + shops, situated very close to the city centre and train station making life so much easier. I wish lecturers would offer a little bit more support with regards to content to be learned.
It’s right in the middle of town which is very handy. My only gripe is that it’s a 20 minute walk away from my accommodation, but considering it could be further I can’t really complain that much.
Love the adjustments to making some study spaces 24/7 and implementing during breaks as well. CSL and science library for lock in sessions and scenic view from CSL during sunny days or summer.
Easier access in terms of location.
4.5
I love the vast amounts of diversity and societies I think it needs to become easier to access to support as it can take a long time. I also think exam timetables need to be released a lot earlier as it causes a lot of anxiety
I think the lecturers fill the lessons with plenty of well researched content I think more people need to ensure accessibility for pre readings as they can be hard to find
