Hear from one of our students

Third year Occupational Therapy (BSc) student, Amy, talks about her experience of studying with us.

Cardiff Uni is preparing me well for what comes next. I’ve got a real sense from my placements of the different opportunities open to me, and I know that employers are keen for applications from Cardiff graduates. Sometimes the course is challenging but it is so worth it.
