Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.
Would you like some help in your search?
Our collection of real, honest student reviews of unis and courses is the largest in the UK, and helps you make well-informed decisions about your future. Student reviews also form the basis of our annual Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs), which highlight great work carried out by institutions for their students.
Love the location, staff are amazing, always a good night out, probably need more knowledge of events within the student union
The facilities are good and the campus itself gives people motivation to study and work hard. However I've been seeking support for something and I've been sent on a wild goose chase of emails and not really getting anywhere. I also don't think it's fair that students have had loads of lectures cancelled due to strikes, as it's resulting in uni being a waste of money. I also think they are wasting money being spent on new accommodation, when it should be used to up lecturers pay to prevent strikes.
Loads of places available to study outside the house, support always available if you ask, great guest lecturers and interesting assignments. To improve it I would say it was difficult to make friends in first year due to online classes
Uni campus is far away from student housing and travel isn't funded very well and is expensive. Facilities for the arts building is not very well funded specifically illustration and fine art there aren't a lot of materials used and the building is very old and ugly. The illustration and animation building is really run down and outdated as opposed to the shiny new marketing building. However the tutors for illustration are fantastic and always give helpful and useful feedback to help you grow and get better in your work. There are lots of career resources easily available and you can use anything you want in the arts block so long as you've been inducted. The course is really good it teaches you to think in lots of different ways and be more creative and in the third year helps you hone in on what you're good at.
Need to develop a student parking program as it’s very difficult to get a parking space near campus without paying a lot of money, and the optional car park gets full really quickly and costs £5 a day, that really adds up
Good teachers and facilities
Uni offering the best and most relevant resources for future career.By them bring motivators and the mode of teaching is really reliable.
The tutors are always there to help and support you no matter when or what time of the day. They truly have your best interests at heart and want to support you in reviving a great grade.
They offer little to no support for students. Whilst the individual lecturers I’ve had have been excellent, the institution as a whole does not value it’s students or their well-being, despite having no shame flexing that they win an award for student satisfaction. One particular experience I had was my grandmother passing away and they weren’t available to offer an extension on an assignment because I didn’t have access to a death certificate. In such circumstances you’d expect the institution to offer empathy and compassion towards its students but none. I was told to reach out the counselling service. Since covid, students mental health has been deteriorating rapidly and this reinforced the message that mental health doesn’t matter. I would avoid this university, and if we’re picking again I would most definitely not choose this uni based on my experiences so far!
I studied my undergrad at Cardiff Met and loved it so much I decided to stay for masters. It’s got the perfect balance of big city and community feel. Student life in Cardiff is great, and the university offer so much support that I genuinely enjoy studying. Overall just the best experience I could have wished for!

It is a good university with a modern academic staff, which is quite adequate for the department I chose.
PROS - The university has been absolutely stellar at providing opportunities to those who put in that extra effort. - Support, particularly the maths gym provided by the uni for ...
