About us
Going to university is a big step and at Cardiff University we take our biggest steps together. In the busting capital city of Cardiff, you’ll find a thriving and vibrant hub of the brightest minds working together to solve the world’s biggest and smallest problems at Wales’ only Russell Group university.
When you study with us, we’ll do everything we can to support your learning. We’ll help you take a deep dive into subjects and topics that you want to explore in new and exciting ways. We’ll empower you to use your talent, develop your knowledge and pursue your passions while offering a range of support and guidance to help you settle into university life.
Most of all, we look forward to welcoming you to our close-knit community where, together, we’ll work hard to build a better future for you and the wider world. Together, we can.
What makes us different
At Cardiff University, we are committed to bringing thinkers and doers together to find real-life solutions to the world’s most challenging problems.
A world class education takes place in spaces built for discovery, so here at Cardiff, you’ll benefit from facilities designed to foster your learning and exploration.
Whether you come from near or far, you will join a friendly and diverse community, spread across two sites with an abundance of beautiful buildings and student spaces right next to the city centre.
While our campus is compact and walkable, its offering is mighty. You’ll enjoy state of the art facilities for studying, learning and socialising, designed with the flexibility to help you achieve your degree in the way that works for you.
Cardiff was recently voted the UK’s friendliest city (Conde Nast, 2023) and when you join us you’ll soon see why.
When applying for universities, I attended various open days around the country, but nothing quite stood out to me like Cardiff did. The fact that everything is so close together and well connected with transport links, the buildings around campus are gorgeous, and you have everything you ever need in one place is really what stood out to me when it came to making my final decision.
