Student Reviews for Cardiff Metropolitan University

Student satisfaction:
4.2 (based on 440 student reviews)

“As a first-timer living away from home it has been a bit overwhelming, but all in all it’s been an enriching experience. My only complaint is that sometimes it wasn’t made clear what the teachers were looking for in our assignments, and the marking scheme seemed a bit subjective. It didn’t impact me too much, fortunately.”

“I’ve managed to get valuable experience thanks to the huge selection of extracurricular opportunities offered on-campus by CardiffMet, which has made my CV look much more professional and marketable to employers.”

“You get the chance to meet a lot of new people that aren’t necessarily on your course thanks to all the social events that the university hosts. I particularly enjoyed their Eisteddfod festival, and I’d like to see more activities like that rather than the strong focus on sports that usually.”

About Cardiff Metropolitan University

PROS

  • Learners agree that there is one -to -one support available from lecturers, which is made possible by the favourable teacher to student ratio at CardiffMet.
  • There are abundant extracurricular options here. These clubs can be an excellent way to make new connections at the start of your first semester, or even as a way to refine your resume with new skills.
  • Those studying here recommend living on campus, because the student accommodation provides numerous social spaces, as well as comfortable suites and common spaces, such as kitchens.

CONS
