Cardiff University is made up of two large, well-located campuses.
Both campuses are within a short distance of Cardiff city centre where you’ll find beautiful green spaces, modern shopping centres, historic indoor markets and our very own medieval castle.
We have more than 2,500 study spaces across our 10 libraries and 25 IT suites. In recent years, substantial investment has been made in the University estate to increase available facilities for students and staff. In 2016, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh opened our new £44m Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC) on the Innovation campus and the University's new £50m Centre for Student Life opened in October 2021, an iconic student building at the heart of the campus.
We provide our students with the opportunity to participate in both elite and recreational sports, across four main centres on campus. There are over 60 clubs for men and women to get involved in, ranging from traditional sports (such as rugby and cricket) to martial arts, motorsports and watersports. We also run a High Performance Programme that provides support for student-athletes, recognised as having outstanding potential.
Sport is a big part of the culture of Cardiff and going to see an event or match is a quintessential part of studying here. From world-famous sporting arenas like the Principality Stadium to Sophia Gardens and the international sports village in Cardiff Bay, there’s so many great venues offering a variety of sports at the heart of the Welsh capital.
Whether you like watching rugby, football, ice hockey, cricket or more unusual sporting events, like monster trucks and speedways, Cardiff has plenty to offer you.
