MSC Business Management with a Professional Placement Year - Batch of 2025
3.8
Beautiful experience in a multi dimensional way.
Tips: Research your course viability, keep your finances in order, keep looking for internships and build your profile accordingly. Because a diversified profile will go a long way. So make sure to plan in a way where you have contingency plans for contingencies.

Good experiences and growth.
Tips: I have learned a lot in my time spent here and that includes classroom hacks to budgeting trips which have helped me in getting through student life. Classes are well conducted and very feedback driven so if you ask professors for extra assistance and show them your dedication to learning, it can really benefit you. Socialising is easy because of the number of club activities and mixers that keep happening.

Average at best, expensive for the quality of teaching and guidance.
Tips: They attract students on the basis of their Russell group tag which is helpful at times, but the quality of teaching and helpfulness of faculty were quite disappointing in many subjects. There are very few class professors who actually teach very well. Otherwise, quite an average experience. Cardiff residents are the best people I have met in the UK.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport in Cardiff is amazing, plus they have several applications to get around the city and also track buses. Two train stations are also close to the University, in case you want to travel to places during the summer. Buses charge around 2.80 per journey, and 5 if you get a bus pass. Trains are expensive in general throughout the UK.
Dislikes (Internships): Internship opportunities and information are available through the placement cell of my university, but they're not readily provided, have to do a lot of digging to actually find out how to get them. Some resume trips from the placement cell were not helpful at all for finding permanent jobs.

Student culture and life is good.
Tips: My experience has been peaceful, exciting and I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience here. Some modules can feel repetitive but the labs are good and research is taken seriously. You can also gain on field experience here based on your course and department.
Dislikes (Internships): Sometimes you can get an internship through career services or professors but most of the time, internships have to be figured out by ourselves. The job and internship prospects are limited mostly but if you get any here, they're usually really solid.

Safe and good community here.
Tips: The environment here is supportive, people are welcoming and the city is very safe so the culture is very student oriented and friendly. You can approach professors and faculty directly and they are usually very responsive and direct. Career support here can be better and more specific to our needs. Otherwise, the sense of community and people are great here.
