Visiting Cardiff

Some students are able to visit Cardiff before their studies start, which is a good chance to see if you like Cardiff and to meet staff and students in person before the start of your course. If you would like to visit and meet staff from the International Office, to ask questions or obtain information, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to accommodate you.

Staying in a Hotel or Guest House

It is unlikely that you would be able to stay in Cardiff University accommodation for your visit, especially if it is during term time, as our rooms will be full with current students. However please feel free to contact the Residences Office on: residences@cf.ac.uk, as there may be a room available for a short time.
