Welcome
It is my great pleasure to extend a very warm welcome to Cardiff University.
I hope that this web site will meet your information needs and, for those unfamiliar with the University, provide a comprehensive introduction to our work, to our aspirations and achievements and to the many opportunities we offer for partnership and participation in the pursuit of our goals.
There are a number of factors that make this a particularly exciting and dynamic period in the history of the University. These include the merging of activities with the University of Wales College of Medicine; the increasing recognition of the high quality of our teaching and research; and the continuing development of the capital city of which we are privileged to be part.
Through the efforts of a dedicated and talented staff, the University has established itself as a progressive and successful centre of higher education and earned its current position among the front rank of British universities. Our success serves further to fuel our ambition as we increase our service to society - locally, nationally and internationally.
Whether you are a prospective student or a current student; a staff member or collaborator; or one of our many other stakeholders, I hope you benefit from your visit to this site and any further interaction with the University.
