What Students Say?
Likes
- Cardiff University is known for it's program in Astrophysics, so it was my first choice to do so.
- The professors are very good, they are always open to meeting you even after office hours. They are friendly and help in guiding you. The place to stay is very good, everything is walkable distance and so you don't have to spend a lot of money on travel.
Dislikes
- The campus is quiet scattered, so the campus you are supposed to go to might actually be very far away from your accommodation. The food sold in the canteen of the university is quite expensive when compared with the food outside. The class hours are very scattered, by having one or two classes in a day during the afternoon.
Overall the university is very good, with diverse people and the best of the faculty who are ready to help you at any given moment.
Course Curriculum
It is very good, the group project started with a little bit of community building and then later we get allotted our micro-projects based on the degree we've chosen.
Exams
My TOEFL score was 103, reading: 24, listening: 28, speaking: 25, writing: 26. that was all that is needed. SOP and LORs were optional for my course, however I did send them SOP describing why I was a good candidate for the program, and I got my undergrad professors to write LORs for me.
Placement
We have companies visiting the campus very often, each department hosts open days atleast once a month where we meet people who are looking to hire students.
Internship
You can register to jobshop and find part time opportunities for work easily. Using jobshop helps students in getting min wage and not get scammed.
Fees
25,000 GBP(scholarship not included).
Scholarship
Yes, I got the vice chancellor scholarship of 5000 GBP on the tuition fee for one year.
Faculty
I am not sure about that will have to check it out. However, it actually depends on the subjects you select after getting an admit.
Campus Life
The campus life is amazing, every day in the evening we have tons of fun activities planned by the residence life. During the weekend, the center for student life takes over with their amazing parties.
Hostel
5,000GBP for living in the university accommodation.
