We have three vibrant campuses around the capital city of Wales; Cardiff. Here, you can enjoy a high standard of living at a low cost. You’ll be surrounded by the best of South Wales’ cities, coast and countryside, and we’re only 2 hours from London via train. Most of our 500 + courses are recognised or accredited by professional organisations and are all taught with employability in mind. That’s why 95% of graduates are in work or further study within six months of graduation (DLHE, 2018).


Everything you need to know

Our Undergraduate and Postgraduate EU Scholarship scheme offers a scholarship on international tuition fees for EU students joining us in the academic year 2024/2025. The scholarship awarded will ensure that the tuition fees paid do not exceed fees currently paid by UK students.

You will be considered for a scholarship automatically when we receive your application to study. You do not need to make a separate scholarship application. You will receive confirmation of a scholarship with your offer letter which will apply to all years of study.
