Occasional/non-degree admissions

This page gives you information about occasional and non-degree admissions at Cardiff University.

The University gives a range of opportunities if you wish to study at undergraduate or postgraduate level which does not lead to a formal qualification from the University.  If you study in this way, you will be classified as an occasional or non-degree student.

Occasional students

Normally students attend limited aspects of a ‘regular’ programme and are charged fees at an hourly rate.

Non-degree students

Normally students would attend a programme for at least one term or semester and are charged fees on a pro-rate basis.
