大学概况University Profile

A report for the Welsh government three years ago cast doubt on the long-term viability of Cardiff Met as an independent university, but students seem not to share the concerns. Applications were up by almost 6% in 2013, when the university increased the size of the undergraduate intake by more than 200.

The university has a good record in the National Student Survey and does even better in the International Student Barometer. For the fifth successive year, ratings by overseas students from more than 140 countries placed Cardiff Met top in the UK for the learning experience, living experience, and for satisfaction with student support.

Cardiff Met has been awarded the Government’s Charter Mark four times, the judges commenting particularly on the level of satisfaction among students. Overseas partnerships also offer the university’s programmes in Egypt, Korea, Morocco, Sri Lanka and Singapore. A new office in Beijing aims to develop joint research and exchange programmes in China.

The university changed its name from the University of Wales Institute Cardiff (Uwic)  in 2011 to emphasise its location in the country’s capital, and having established this new identity  had to then threaten legal action to ensure that it did not become subsumed within the new University of South Wales, alongside the former University of Glamorgan and University of Wales Newport.

It had already committed £50m to improvements on its three campuses and is now continuing that programme. The £20m Cardiff School of Management opened on the Llandaff campus in 2010, offering improved facilities for business, hospitality and tourism. A new campus centre, with a shop and catering facilities, has also been added, along with an Information Zone for student services.

The Cyncoed campus already had a new student centre with a nightclub and all the normal catering and leisure facilities. The latest development will see Cardiff School of Art and Design brought together in a £10m building on the Llandaff campus for the start of the new academic year.

The School was the star performer in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, when 70% of its submission was rated either world-leading or internationally excellent.  Sport also registered some world-leading research, and all six teacher training courses are rated as excellent by Estyn, the school inspectorate.

Cardiff Met is one of Britain’s leading centres for university sport, with team performances that do justice to some excellent facilities. In recent years, the university has had British university champions in sports ranging from archery and gymnastics to squash, weightlifting and judo. More than 300 past or present students are internationals in 30 sports.

Fifteen of them, including two gold medallists, took part in the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, where the university also provided three coaches and a physiologist. In Glasgow this summer, 36 students and alumni competed at the Commonwealth Games with alumnus and Welsh team captain Aled Davies winning silver in the F42 Discus.

The £7m National Indoor Athletics Centre is Cardiff Met’s pride and joy, but other facilities are also of high quality. As well as participating in a thriving sports club scene, around 1,500 students pursue sport and dance related courses.

Students from Wales account for two-thirds of the 8,000 undergraduates, and will pay only £4,000 a year in fees in 2015-16. Half of them are from Cardiff or the Vale of Glamorgan. Nearly 95% of the UK undergraduates attended state schools and more than a third come from working-class homes. The dropout rate improved in the latest survey and, at 12%, now matches the UK average for the university’s subjects and entry grades.

Entrance requirements are generally modest, but the menu of largely vocational courses means that many students come with qualifications other than A-levels. More than a quarter are mature students and there are over 1,000 international students. Many are postgraduates, who make up nearly a quarter of the student population.

The three sites in Cardiff are all within three miles of the city centre. The Cyncoed campus, housing education and sport, is the main centre of activity, particularly for first years. As well as the new student centre, the athletics centre is there, together with a multitude of outdoor facilities and also the Welsh Sports Centre for the Disabled. Student facilities have been upgraded recently. The IT suite has 250 computers available 24 hours a day.

For the moment, Howard Gardens is the home of fine art, while the Llandaff campus hosts design, engineering, food science and health courses. The student centre at Llandaff includes a dyslexia support unit among a number of advice and representation services, and a learning centre with more than 300 computers.

The enterprising students’ union owns a nightclub and bar in the city centre to add to the campus choices. During term-time, the Rider bus service links all the campuses with other parts of Cardiff. The halls of residence are a mile from the main campus on the Plas Gwyn residential campus, where there are enough hall places to accommodate most first-years.
