Program Description:

IFSA - CARDIFF UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP
Geotag

Cardiff, Wales

WHY STUDY IN CITY?
Cardiff, the capital city of Wales, is commonly described as the perfect student city. It is easy to walk around, friendly, and inexpensive. Cardiff also has all the facilities you would expect of a modern city within a unique Welsh cultural tradition. If you like to get out of the city, the South Wales area offers some of the most spectacular natural scenery in the world, and it is a great base for visiting continental Europe.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
From rich folklore to the Welsh language, Cymraeg, Wales has its own traditions and culture, distinctive from England’s. Discover them on the coast of Wales, at a university known for strong bioscience, chemistry, computer science, and informatics.

Love language? The Language for All program offers free classes and resources. Into science? The university is home to Europe’s only lightning lab. Beyond academics, the university has one of the UK’s most active student unions, with 200+ societies, 60+ sports clubs, and live music events.

Leave time to explore: From 2,000-year-old Roman fortifications to the ultramodern Wales Millennium Centre for performing arts to stunning waterfalls and rugged peaks, there’s plenty to discover. Right in Cardiff, check out Cardiff Castle and wander the streets where author Roald Dahl grew up.

See more of the UK with IFSA excursions and activities, all included in your program. Possibilities include a West End theater performance, a session in the famous The Great British Bake Off tent, and exploring Stonehenge.

Visit IFSA - Cardiff University Partnership on the IFSA website for complete academic details including a list of classes and syllabi.
