Established in 2011, Cardiff Metropolitan University is a non-profit public higher education institution situated in the vibrant city of Cardiff, Wales, with a population between 250,000 and 499,999. Officially recognized by the Privy Council, Cardiff Met is a medium-sized, coeducational UK university, enrolling between 9,000 and 9,999 students.

Cardiff Met offers a wide range of programs leading to officially recognized qualifications, including pre-bachelor’s awards (such as certificates, diplomas, and foundation degrees), bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees, and doctoral degrees across various disciplines.

The university welcomes international students and provides a rich selection of academic and support services. These include modern library facilities, student accommodation, sports complexes, financial aid and scholarships, opportunities for global exchange and study abroad, and comprehensive administrative support, all designed to enhance the student experience.
