What students say about this university

162 comments (47 students)

    • Cardiff as a whole is a pretty economical friendly city for students (unless you're out literally every night each term). Night's out can be cheaper than most other cities and the university does also have some help set in place but I'm not sure what extent it goes too. However without near maximum student loan, covering your halls our housing rent, food and living costs is a huge struggle unless you work so definitely try find some work to help you out while studying at Cardiff Met.

    • The centro bar is decent, good place to go in between lectures but we don't have a official SU building like Cardiff Univeristy however that doesn't really matter. Revs or revolution (the main club in Cardiff) hold our SU event 'halftime' each Wednesday and it's probably the best in the city. There's an extensive list of societies and clubs available but I haven't really heard them do much in regards to the wellbeing of students/concerns but then again I could be being blind or we just haven't had that many issues at all.

    • Tutors are mostly brilliant, excellent support and they're so understanding with any exceptional circumstances. The lectures and seminars are also tailored to the assessments which is amazing cause you don't waste time on pointless things (mostly).

    • I feel it is a very unique course that you are unlikely to find at another university. If you aspire to work and support those with special needs or vulnerable backgrounds, it's a great course that allows you in the second year to explore topic areas more in your internet areas.
