[Advice] Getting help with your application

2010 is here and you may be starting to think about making an application, or getting your application documents in order.

For most courses there is still lots of time to apply for September 2010 but if you are thinking about applying, you may like to get some advice.

Cardiff University has a trusted network of advisors worldwide. They provide free advice and will also submit your application for you.

They have years of experience of helping students come to Cardiff and are especially useful if you want to talk to someone in your own country or language. They also arrange appointments with Cardiff University representatives when they visit overseas and will help you with all the necessary arrangements prior to your arriving at the University.

A list of all our educational advisors is available on the International Office website:

Of course if you should need any help with your application, or just want to ask a question, you can also email us: international@cardiff.ac.uk or ask us a question on one of our social networking sites: Facebook, Orkut or Friendster.

[Info] University closure (23rd December - 4th January)

The University closes on the 23rd December (tomorrow) and re-opens on Monday 4th January for the annual seasonal vacation.

Every year, during this period, the staff at the University have some vacation time to spend with their families.

If you have a question, The International Office will be maintaining a light service through Facebook and Orkut. We will reply as soon as we can.

If you also want to get into the holiday spirit - it's not too late to send one of the University's seasonal e-cards.

Have a great break everybody and best wishes for 2010!

Welcome to the International Office blog

Hello,

My name is Stuart and I work in the International Office at Cardiff University. The International Office helps international students who are thinking of, or planning to study at, Cardiff.

Why have we started this blog?

We know that you will have many questions about studying in the UK. Obviously you can use the website to find out information but sometimes it is nice to hear from people who are working at the University. We have years of experience of welcoming students to Cardiff and have seen many successful graduates.

Our aim is to provide you with some insight and hopefully answer some of those questions you have about the process of coming to Cardiff. We want to give you a personal view about living and studying here.

How can you help?

As this blog is for you, we’re interested to know what subjects you would most like to read? If you have an idea – please comment below. In fact please comment on any of our posts. It would be great to get your feedback and we love hearing from you.
