Description: For a truly British experience at a top-notch university, consider spending a semester or year at Cardiff University. One of the leading research institutions in the United Kingdom, Cardiff also ranked high on the 2006 League Table and was one of five finalists for "University of the Year" by the Sunday Times of London.

Unlike most urban universities in the U.K., Cardiff University is a campus-based institution located in the heart of cosmopolitan Cardiff. This unique distinction gives students the coziness of a campus environment and easy travel between courses and housing, while also providing quick access to the city of Cardiff and all the big-city amenties it has to offer.

Cardiff offers a wide range of academic disciplines and welcomes study abroad students in subjects that can be difficult to find abroad, including journalism and nursing. Other available and highly ranked subjects include English, history, politics, sociology, and philosophy. For a truly Welsh experience, consider taking a course in Welsh language.

Cardiff University's has a variety of housing options and locations available to students, including halls of residence and student apartments. Housing is integrated with Welsh students and other international students at the university.

Highlights: Few study abroad locations can rival the beauty, history, and adventure of Wales. Long a hidden gem of Britain, American students are choosing Wales as a historic, friendly destination that offers one of Britain's most renowned universities and a truly integrated study experience.

Nowhere else but Wales will you have so many opportunities at your fingertips. The city of Cardiff, recently voted one of Britain's six "cities of elegance," is a cosmopolitan setting but has limitless nature and adventure activities just minutes away. Throughout the rest of Wales you'll find friendly people, amazing cultural opportunities, and some of the world's best preserved history.

The arts flourish in Wales, which is perhaps no surprise given the many actors, singers, writers, and other artists who hail from Wales: Catherine Zeta-Jones, Anthony Hopkins, Charlotte Church, Richard Burton, Laura Ashley, Dylan Thomas, Tom Jones, and countless others.

Consider Wales for an academically and culturally fulfilling experience. Croeso i Gymru!
