Welcome
It is my great pleasure to extend a very warm welcome to Cardiff University.
I hope that this website will meet your information needs and, for those unfamiliar with the University, provide a comprehensive introduction to our work, to our aspirations and achievements and to the many opportunities we offer for partnership and participation in the pursuit of our goals.
There are a number of factors that make this a particularly exciting and dynamic period in the history of the University. These include our three new University Research Institutes helping to address key global challenges in the fields of cancer, sustainability and mental illness; the increasing recognition of the high quality of our teaching and research; and the continuing development of the capital city of which we are privileged to be part.
Thanks to our dedicated and talented staff, the University has secured the Investors in People standard. The award adds to the recognition of Cardiff as a progressive and successful centre of higher education, valuing people, and reflecting our position in the front rank of British universities. Our success serves further to fuel our ambition as we increase our service to society - locally, nationally and internationally.
Whether you are a prospective student or a current student; a staff member or collaborator; or one of our many other stakeholders, I hope you benefit from your visit to this site and any further interaction with the University.
Dr David Grant CBE, FREng, CEng, FIET
Vice-Chancellor
