Mature Student Review

(5)·By Becky·Accounting· Jun 2025
Going back into education felt really daunting; I was so nervous but knew it was a decision I had to make to achieve my career goal. Being a parent and studying has had challenges, but the university has helped in many ways get me through the past two years of my studies. Definitely a choice I am glad I decided to see through, and I have enjoyed every minute of going back to study—learning has been made interactive and fun, I have made some new friends and built my confidence too.

I have

I’m currently doing my first year in Sport, PE and Health and it’s been great! The course so far has been very enjoyable as we have an open campus to actually apply what we have studied in seminars and lectures. The student life in Cardiff is also very good, with many places to go in the city centre like shops and food places. My accommodation, from what I’ve seen, is one of the best in my opinion as it’s right next to Cardiff Central Station and the city centre, which makes nightlife a lot easier!

My overall university experience has been everything I imagined, and more. With Cardiff Metropolitan University, I have been able to enhance my academia, seek guidance from lecturers and support when needed, and experience a more independent lifestyle by investing in university accommodation with my student loan. I have grown as an individual, and I believe that university has sculpted me into an adult, and helped me realize that I am in control of what my future entails.

Cardiff Met experience

(5)·By Sophie W·Food / Beverage Studies· Jun 2023
My accommodation is a 20 minute walk to uni, which is also near a PureGym, aldi and big Tesco. The walk is along a beautiful river, and I really enjoy my walks into uni. I'm only in 3-4 days a week too, but still make the walk to go to the gym and go food shopping. I also live a 30 minute walk from the city centre, or a £9 Uber from town after a night out. My accommodation is nice, I have good flatmates and a nice big room.

I absolutely love my course. I study Food Science and Nutrition and i 100% made the right decision to study it. So far, I've covered modules on Food Product development, Biochemistry and Physiology, Professional Development, Food safety and Macro and Micronutrients. For the first time in my educational career, I don't ever dread it!

Cardiff met (Llandaff campus) is beautiful, very modern and clean. They have all the facilities needed, with lots of coffee shops, a big library, canteens etc. They have great kitchen facilities for my course, as well as modern lecture halls for the written parts.

My social life is good. In uni, there are opportunities to mix with other years and learn about their interests. There is also lots of effort out into making friends within your class at the beginning of university, which really helps. My accommodation also offers opportunities to meet new people, as well as groupchats and getting out there in freshers week. Nightlife is good too, even if it isn't my favourite thing to do!

I've had a very positive university experience so far, and look forward to the upcoming years.

Enjoyable university experience

Didn't stay in university accomodation so cannot comment on those. However facilities on campus were great, various options of places to grab food and a coffee, and plenty of workspaces.

The course has been enjoyable, lecturers and staff very passionate about subject and make lectures interesting and interactive. Would reccomend if you are thinking about doing a speech and language therapy course!

Cardiff met

(5)·By Kyffin M·Sports Science· Jun 2023
Cardiff met us a great uni with exceptional sport facilities. The lectures are all very welcoming and are always there to help with the work. The university has a family feel and everyone enjoys gathering on a Wednesday to support our sports teams. The work is enjoyable and challenging
