You'll also be based in a thriving capital city that's renowned for its history, culture and proximity to remarkable landscapes. Learn more about Cardiff and Wales.
Cardiff is a compact city and the University is in the middle – so you won't have far to travel between the University, city centre shops and your accommodation.
It's also very flat, making it easy to walk or cycle around. Many buses and taxis operate in the city and are very reasonably priced. Learn more about travelling within Cardiff and Wales.

Accommodation
We try to house students in university accommodation and will provide housing support to all incoming students.
You'll have your own study bedroom, with a bed, desk, chair, wardrobe and storage. You won’t need to buy any additional furniture.
University accommodation is generally self-catered (we don't offer meal plans). And, like other UK universities, we house all of our study abroad students together, so you will be integrated with UK, European and international students.
If you’re coming to Cardiff for one semester, you can apply for your preferred room type (for example ensuite vs. shared bathroom). If you’re coming for the full academic year, you can also apply for your preferred residence hall on campus. We will send you more information about reserving accommodation after you apply.
Explore all the types of accommodation available at the University.
Visas
All students accepted to study will receive comprehensive visa guidance and can contact our International Student Support team for specific enquiries.

Getting here
- We have a 30,000-strong student body from over 100 different countries.
Our team will be here every step of the way to make sure your trip to Cardiff is as smooth and effortless as possible.
We'll email you with information about the date to arrive and reaching campus after you have been accepted to the programme. You should plan to arrive for induction activities which usually take place the week before term starts.
If you choose to stay in on-campus accommodation, our Residences team will email you to confirm the date you can move into your residences.
If you choose to make your own way to Cardiff, there are a number of ways to get here via train and coach. We also have advice for international students on entering and travelling to the UK and what to expect.
Induction and orientation
At the start of the autumn semester, we provide an induction programme to new international students. There are sessions specifically for study abroad students and a range of social events to get involved in. We also run an induction programme for those students studying with us in the spring semester.
We'll send you more information about induction prior to your arrival.
Learn more about what you'll need to do when you arrive and how we can help you adjust to life in Cardiff.
Student support
We pride ourselves on providing a student experience that is as productive and happy as possible.
Our Student Support Centre is based on campus and is dedicated to the welfare of all our students. They have specialist advisers who can help you with international-specific issues. Additionally, they offer confidential counselling services if you'd like to speak to someone other than your personal tutor.
