Founded in 1865, Cardiff Metropolitan is a progressive university with an established reputation for high quality teaching and research and our enterprising outlook. Our practice-focused and professionally recognised courses are enhanced by our state-of-the-art facilities and our strong partnerships with employers and international universities.
The University has one of the highest rates of staff qualified to teach at degree level. It was also judged to be the top performing modern university for research quality in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework, the most recent UK-wide assessment of research. Many of our staff are engaged in industry-leading research and innovation and recently Cardiff Met became the first university in Wales to be awarded the Social Enterprise Mark and the Small Business Charter and the first in the world to be awarded the Comprehensive Internationalisation Award from the Association of International Universities. The environment of both campuses, with new subject-specific teaching accommodation and facilities, is designed to enhance learning and build both competence and confidence. The wellbeing of students is central to our University and all students have access to small class sizes, high levels of class contact and well-resourced student support. In 2021 Cardiff Met was also ranked the top university in Wales and 8th in the UK in the People and Planet Green League. Cardiff itself is a great place to live, work and study and, with three universities, the city and its surrounding coast and countryside provide a high-quality environment and vibrant cultural scene for students.
