    You'll want to get a train to Cathays (you'll have to switch at Cardiff Central). The Cathays station is across the road from the University itself and right by the bioscience building

    I got an offer yesterday from Cardiff, AAB. Don't worry, there are people who leave it as late as January to send it off, just get it done ASAP and you should be all right. Good luck.

    I've also applied for Civil Engineering, and also one of the MEng courses, but I think its typical offer was AAB (Which is what I'm predicted), making it most likely my first choice if I get an offer (my UCAS only got sent by the school today...over 2 weeks after I pressed pay+send). Really like the city, uni and course so fingers crossed I get an offer

    Hola fellow Diff applicants!

    I've applied to Cardiff for Biomedical Science and Medical Pharmacology and then Biomedical Science at UWIC. I sent my application off on Monday and had an offer from UWIC on Tuesday for CC with Welsh BAC which I'm really happy with as I wanted it as my insurance anyway!


    Any other biomedics here? xx
    Hey! I've also applied to Cardiff for Medical Pharmacology, its my first choice, just waiting for a reply anxiously!
    Congrats on your offer at UWIC!
