We're proud to say our students are kind, empathetic, ambitious people who want to make a difference.


Jamie chose to study Midwifery after her own birthing experience and wanted to make her own impact on other new mothers' journeys.


After his own time in healthcare, Rhys became fascinated with Physiotherapy - and how he could use it to help people get better.


Following in the family tradition and searching for a job that would help people and mean more, Gavin chose Mental Health Nursing for his career. 


These are the real stories of our healthcare students making a difference to people's lives. 


You could be one too.

Why Cardiff University?

Building relationships across the heart of the city, Cardiff University benefits from strong links with the University Hospital of Wales, the third largest university hospital in the UK and the largest hospital in Wales.


Part of the Russell Group, the University is ranked as number 1 in Wales by the Complete University Guide 2023. The School of Healthcare Sciences also features in the top ten for Occupational Therapy, Nursing and Physiotherapy.

The quality of teaching and the research is what drew me in. I really like the campus, the buildings and the atmosphere.

What attracted me was the prestige - I’m very ambitious so I wanted to make sure that when I get my qualifications, they’re going to be the best possible standard.

Wake up to Cardiff every day

Known for its spirit and loved for its energy, Cardiff is a city like no other.

 

It’s a friendly Welsh capital that feels like a home from home. 


With community and ambition in its streets, it's a student's dream - whether you're straight out of study or making a career move to achieve your goals.

You’ve got everything on your doorstep. Within an hour you can be on the beach or up a mountain.

Cardiff offers an NHS bursary for my course, so having the ability to train without the stress of university fees was a huge bonus for me.
