Cardiff University Cardiff Review by Students & Alumni & Ranking

It is quite difficult to get an accommodation. For me the problem was I am a PhD student but, I get paid so then they are like since you have the money, you should be able to afford any accommodation. I think because I came during Covid time so, it was a lot more difficult.

Initially, I went to the consultant and she helped me for all the documents required , then I contacted my friends in UK that is this beneficial or worth for money or not.

Because it was a Russel group uni and research is important/ what I want to do, it also specializes in semiconductors which I wanted to do and it was the best I got an offer for based on my predicted A-level grades.

It is a Russel group university and I am interested in semiconductors which it specializes in as there are a large group and a lot of funding going into this and it was far from where I was living which was a benefit for me.

I love the city! It is quite near my home but far enough away that it feels away but still, I can be home if I need to! I also think the course is really good here for what I wanted to do (eg a year in the industry that counts towards a degree).
