Why Choose Cardiff Metropolitan University - Ed- Tech?
1. The Best Graduate Employment Rate in Wales
94.4% of Cardiff Met graduates are in work or further study within 15 months, ahead of both Swansea and Cardiff University. Nearly three quarters go directly into graduate-level roles, and that number went up year on year despite a tough job market.
2. Global Rankings in the Subjects Cardiff Met Actually Specialises In
Cardiff Met is in the top 140 in the world for sports science and top 160 for hospitality and leisure management. These rankings exist because the facilities and industry connections are real. At Cyncoed, sports students train in specialist labs with direct links to professional Welsh clubs and national squads.
3. Automatic Scholarships, No Application Needed
Every international undergraduate gets a £2,500 scholarship automatically. MBA students can receive up to £4,000 and selected MSc students up to £3,500. Pay your fees in full before the deposit deadline and another £1,000 comes off. The maximum saving on an MBA is £5,000.
4. Degrees That Professional Bodies Actually Recognise
Accounting programmes hold ACCA, CIMA and ICAEW accreditation, giving graduates direct exemptions from professional exams. Healthcare and biomedical degrees are HCPC and IBMS accredited, which means NHS registration eligibility on graduation. Cardiff Met has secured these accreditations so you do not have to worry about whether your degree will be recognised when you start working.
5. A Capital City That Does Not Cost Like One
Private halls in Cardiff start at around £180 a week, compared to £240 to £340 in London. Both campuses are within 5 km of the city centre and the train to London takes two hours. You get the career network and cultural life of a capital city at a cost that is significantly more manageable.
