At Cardiff you are studying in a successful, vibrant, multicultural, bilingual and diverse University, set in the capital city of Wales.  Founded in 1883, Cardiff University is established as one of Britain’s leading universities and our ambition is to be among the top 100 universities in the world and top 20 in the UK by 2017.

Our research has global impact and is led by internationally recognised staff who share their knowledge with you through their teaching.  There are 24 Academic Schools organised into three Colleges (Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences, Biomedical & Life Sciences and Physical Sciences & Engineering).  We have over 30,000 students, from over 100 countries of which:

• 21,495 are undergraduates,
• 8,685 are postgraduates,
• 6,605 are international students. [2013/14 data from HESA]

We have over 1,000 students volunteering in the local community each year and our graduates are sought after by employers, with 95% entering employment or professional training/postgraduate study within six months of graduating.

There is a strong sense of community that is characterised by the balance we achieve between our educational, social, cultural and sporting experiences, within a culture that fosters, promotes and respects equality, dignity and diversity.  The Cardiff University community creates an environment where expectations can be met and ambitions realised.  Your experience will be unique to you, based on the choices you make and your level of engagement with the range of opportunities available.  We hope you take full advantage of your time here.
