"Our trip to Toulouse was amazing! I remember we had a debate about ‘Globalisation’ against students from Toulouse Business School and we won. We also visited Airbus’ headquarters, where we learned about the history of this renowned aerospace firm. The visit helped me further understand some of the concepts we’d covered in lectures, particularly in relation to marketing and Airbus’ competition with Boeing."

"Deciding on a university was one of the most difficult tasks I had to do but after conducting thorough research I chose Cardiff Business School to pursue my masters. There were various reasons for my decision, some of the distinguishing factors were the University and the Business School’s prestige, the facilities available as well as the career prospects and a wide range of societies and clubs, of which I am enjoying the benefits."
Social integration
There are a range of social events arranged at School and University level, designed to introduce you to the culture and community of Cardiff and Wales. Cardiff University Students Union (CUSU) supports more than 200 social groups and 60 sports clubs designed to enhance your university experience and enrich student-life.

There are a range of attractions, a number of excellent bars and restaurants, a vibrant arts and cultural scene and a variety of sporting venues. When you want to escape the city limits, a short journey, by car or public transport, will take you to beautiful beaches, scenic coastline or rugged mountain terrain.
