About Cardiff University and Scholarship
Cardiff University, known in Welsh as Prifysgol Caerdydd, stands as a distinguished public research institution in Cardiff, Wales. Its rich history dates back to 1883 when it was established as the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire. It played a pivotal role in the founding of the University of Wales in 1893.
Over the years, the university underwent several name changes, including University College, Cardiff in 1972, and later merged with the University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology in 1988, evolving into University of Wales College, Cardiff, and subsequently the University of Wales, Cardiff in 1996. In 1999, it adopted the operating name Cardiff University, officially becoming its legal name in 2005, marking its status as an independent university with the authority to award its degrees.
Cardiff University is the only Welsh university in the esteemed Russell Group and one of the most research-intensive universities in the UK. With two presidents of states or governments and two Nobel laureates among its teachers and alumni, the university has a remarkable past.
Cardiff University has an esteemed academic community, with 17 members of the Royal Society, 11 fellows of the Royal Academy of Engineering, 7 fellows of the British Academy, 21 fellows of the Academy of Medical Sciences, and 32 fellows of the Academy of Social Sciences as of 2023. Most of Cardiff University’s academic buildings, including the main building, the Bute Building, the Glamorgan Building, the Redwood Building, the Law Building, and the biosciences building, are located in Cathays Park, which is central to the city of Cardiff.
A variety of academic fields are served by these institutions, including biosciences, architecture, planning, geography, social sciences, pharmacy, pharmaceutical sciences, law, and medical education.
