Cardiff Metropolitan University Courses and Fees 2025

• Since it is a different course structure as compared to India, it was new and challenging initially, however once you get into it, it’s the most enjoyable process. My course was dissertation based not research based which meant at the end of 1 year, I will have to choose a topic and conduct a theoretical project on it.
• The course was mix of theoretical and practical. Practicals was mostly process and product development lab sessions. Product development project was to make a new food product which again was part of practical sessions.
• Its assignments based degree which means there were no exams, just assignments for each module / subject. A lot of literature reviews , poster presentations etc.
• There were 60 students in my course , of which around 40 were Indian.

• My total fees were 13000; however, i received £3,000 scholarship. So that was taken off from my total fees. When I accepted the offer , I needed to pay £3000 to secure my seat. Remaining fees were meant to be paid in installments.
• Second year was a placement year - this year’s fee was £1800, which I had the option to pay in 2 installments. Living expenses back then were cheap; however, I would say 500£ for rent , 150£ for food, 100£ for travel, etc. An international student can live in the UK on a budget of £1000 monthly, dependent on area living (London is very expensive).

There were many companies in Cardiff and some of the major corporations were there which was one of the reasons I went there this helped me understand that it is very important for you to settle in the same city and have a job and even companies prioritise students from the same city as it saves their cost for hiring you.

As I mentioned need to upgrade the Academic subjects according to AI. My course is Data science but few of the subjects were not useful for me as a Data Science student.

So, there is a scholarship which depends on intermediate English marks. My tuition fee was £14,000 but I have got a scholarship with £4000. So, I paid only £10,000

My course was very nice. We were taught very practical things in the lectures and seminars. Because of Covid, we couldn't finish any lab work and that was a bit disappointing.

13000 GBP is the program fee.
