Sort:Latest reviewsso many facilities and most are now open 24/7 which is super helpful for students that work best at night. there’s also loads of social opportunities too and a big focus on societies and meeting people.
The student support has been really great, especially from my personal tutor who has continuously checked in with me and supported me. The facilities are good, with everything in close range on the Heath park campus. The library is good as well as the simulation facilities for healthcare students. In general, I have really enjoyed my experience so far.
Best: the facilities and opportunities Worst: massive lack of communication between school and students Too many deadlines at once
The Student Union unfairly labelling themseleves as a pro-choice SU thereby excluding the students who do not uphold the same views.
Positives: Everywhere is walkable -Affordable city compared to most -Great Students Union: gig space, big club -Modern facilities: Centre of student life -Lots of green space -Lots of things going on in Cardiff as a city: concerts Negatives: -Not enough emphasis on placement years compared to other uni's -Some first year accomadation is far out and needs refurbing
Lovely city , lots going on but still small enough you can easily get around The walk from accommodation is long but easily done - could do with a bus !
The course needs to be revised but it is a good university with good facilities
Designated quiet study spaces in the SU would be helpful
Course itself could be structured betterrr

First gen student
Comfortable, friendly and calm university. Teachers competent and helpful.
Calm place to study, however the SU can be really busy and noisy most of times.
Such a good location and student union. Everything is within walking distance and the sports facilities are great. Always plenty of places to study all with great atmospheres. Some of the building could be updated.
There could be more spaces to study in the SU But the city is amazing
Cardiff university is a great place to study and socialise!
Great location and everyone is so friendly. All staff are supportive
The students' union has great facilities. It would be great if there was more mental health support (including promotion of the services so that more are aware)
Cheaper prices within the su to help out students
The student union is the best time I have at university. It’s great for both studying and for nights out with societies
Interesting course. Great SU that tries to put on events and provide resources that students want. Cheap city with lots to do.
4.5
It would be better is only sports socials could go to yolo or they could have priority as often they can’t get in.
The teaching and results of students overall doesn’t seem to be up to standard. The weighting of exams seems to heavy
The en-suite bathroom was brilliant
