Different campus of each postgraduate degree. Student union works really well. Plenty of societies. Coporate with students. Help them and don't let them feel honesick. Provides great accommodation as well. Free language classes to learn in extra time. Best for journalism students.

A great institution with a great mix of social and academic opportunities. You have a great mix of academic routes with strong support for career advice, opportunities out of academic (Job Shop) and personal development such as many societies and trips (including ski trip) The Business School is full of diversity.

Amazing students union and really enjoy nights out. Global opportunities are amazing and support for students is really easy to access and support is so helpful. When asking for help from any staff or student support services they always can help out and never feel like it's a trouble to ask for help at all.

I was so nervous before starting uni. However after engaging with the students union at Cardiff university, I felt so much more at ease. The Cardiff university student community is extremely helpful and welcoming. There are so many things to do Aswell, sports, going for food , hiking and much more. There's something for everyone. The lecturers are great and make lectures as easy as possible. I love my uni.

A fantastic university offering many opportunities for different people from everywhere. Lots of stuff on site, well maintained and serviced. Cardiff is a great city and the university is in a great location. I have friends that attend this university and say they absolutely love it. Great fun, great atmosphere. Really friendly staff. Students seem to enjoy it here. There are extra opportunities for those who want to study on later with after uni classes.

I have completed my undergraduate degree at Cardiff, and am now studying for a masters. I think that the university is absolutely great. The facilities, teaching, staff, and available help is second to none. During my time at Cardiff I have taken advantage of many of the opportunities available to me including joining my course-specific society and almost daily using the facilities of the students union. This uni is in a great location, in a beautiful that is not too big, nor overwhelming.

While the campus isn't jaw-dropping, the facilities are excellent. The library is stocked with all the literature you need, and the gym- don't get me started on that hunk.

Medical campus has good facilities and ample library space. SU is accessible and has services to help students with problems such as laptop problem and finance problems. Organisation of medicine course needs improvement.

Brilliant facilities, accommodating every need. Big range of societies and clubs, thanks to the students union being exceptional at outreach and advertising what they have on offer. The SU is by far one of the best in the country, very modern, insane student support services, if you have any problems at all, whether they be mental or physical, the student support services will go out of their way to ensure your issues are solved. Careers service allows ease of access to temporary work offers, and caters to all kinds of work, however the outreach is almost non-existent so you would usually have to hear about the careers services from a friend to use it properly. Internet is standard, nothing exceptional, and has quite frequent outages, but gets the job done when it is working, just don't depend on the uni wifi for getting things done on time, because you will be disappointed.

If you want to go to a uni where nearly everyone isn’t weird or crazy (well I take crazy back) then Cardiff is the choice for you. Still a Russel Group, the Head of KPMG U.K. went here and so did many clever ones. The only thing that no other uni can replicate is the night life, you know you’re in the diff when you walk into pryzm, or most importantly, our student union every Wednesday and saturday

Amazing university. Great professors with best architecture university buildings. Great location. This university gives a chance to many students to open up and interact. It also builds up the chance for students to get better job opportunities in the future.

Cardiff University is a city campus, and I love how the heart of the city is within walking distance from the main university campus and the student's union (approx 15mins away). There are many libraries to use with loads of seating. The student's union has so many elements to aid you in settling into university and getting extra-curricular activities which are vital to your CV, examples being global opportunities to fund any potential bursary you may need if you wish to do an internship/placement abroad and job shop to help give you job opportunities whilst at university.

Great uni and campus plenty for students to do such as the student union, societies and sports teams. Good amount of library facilities.

The campus has everything you could require including a 24 hour library. There are plenty of extra curricular courses to take from the SDS at the students Union, which have helped me a lot so far. My course was interesting, with plenty of great projects and good lecturers. However the organisation can be a little hectic and slow, especially when it comes to transcripts, housing and other unusual situations.

-The university itself has a very friendly atmosphere. That is one of the main reasons I applied here. -I like that all of the university buildings and accommodations are spread within the city as it makes me feel more integrated within the city -the student union Is not particularly attractive from the outside though has a lot to do and the nights out are good

Biosciences is a great school, I got a wide choice of modules over the years and good teaching. I feel like the lecturers constantly looked for new ways to improve teaching/learning and offer better resources. The society offers a good way to meet friends.

Amazing facilities offered at the university, with latest technology and research. The course I am taking is well organised and the way in which coursework topics are chosen are fantastic. The career services are able to contact you directly as well as course leaders and tutors offering internships and placements. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my first year at the university.
