Things to know and do in preparation for student life.

Accommodation and moving here

What to consider before you move in to your residence in Cardiff.

Opening a student bank account, living costs, funding your time here and where to get support.

Tell us about your access requirements and find out more about the range of support and funding available.

For your health and the health of those around you, we recommend a series of immunisations.

Learn what you can expect from us and Cardiff University Students’ Union and the role that you have in making the most of your time with us.

As a new healthcare student, there are additional steps for you to take, as well as information specific to your chosen area.
