Strong graduate prospects

Over 92% of our graduates are due to start a new job or course, or doing other activities such as travelling, 15 months after the end of their course (HESA, 2022)*

I would definitely recommend Cardiff University. I met amazing people who are now lifelong friends, took part in a placement year that helped secure me a graduate role and made life experiences that I won’t forget. I’m now in a full-time job at Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains and enjoying every second.
