International Offer Holders

We know that choosing to study in a different country is a big decision, and you may have many questions about academic life, settling in and moving to the UK.

Join our Welcome to Cardiff webinar series to help you prepare to move abroad for your studies.

Our webinar series and on-demand video content will be hosted on the TAP platform - you'll also have access to the chat function both during and after your event, where our friendly student ambassadors can answer any questions you might have.

If you have already created an account to chat with our student ambassadors, you will be able to use the same login details to register for our webinars. Just scroll to the bottom of the registration page and log in. If you don't yet have an account, you will be prompted to create one - this takes just a few minutes.
