Study with a scholarship of up to £2,500 in a safe and welcoming living environment, surrounded by a diverse community of international students.


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). There is also a large Indian community in Cardiff and a good selection of Indian restaurants and Gurdwaras. Cardiff is also home to the India Centre which organises cultural events throughout the year, so you’ll feel right at home.
