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). Cardiff in particular is a popular city for students from all over the Middle East and North Africa and is a home away from home for our students. There is even a Libyan school in Cardiff!
