Cardiff University Applicants 2015

Hey guys :smile:
Thought I'd start a thread for anyone who, like me is thinking of applying for Cardiff University for September 2015 entry. Thought we could break the ice by starting with some questions?

- What course are you applying for?
- What are you currently studying?
- Why Cardiff University?
- Have you attended any open days or visits to the University?

I thought we could use this thread to keep up to date about applications and just general news about Cardiff University :smile:

I went to the open day yesterday and I've definitely decided that it's going to be my firm choice!

I'll be applying for occupational therapy for September 2015 entry.
Hi I went to the open day at cardiff yesterday and love it!! I want this to be my first choice. Quick question though when do we make our choice list, when we get interviews or after we get accepted?
Do we make our list when we apply for the different universities?
Psychology with a placement year
I sent my application on the 30th september and recieved an offer a week later
Currently I'm studying psychology biology and history a level

Idk if this will be my first two choices as I'd prefer to do a joint honours which my other unis provide. I cant visit the uni as it is too far so will be too expensive but can anyone pm some pictures of the uni and preferably the psychology department as Google images and their website dont show much and obviously they would show the uni in the best light and I cant find any of what the uni looks like inside like tge lecture rooms and library etc

Hey guys not sure what you mean here but I'm assuming you mean do you choose your first, second or third choice when you apply or after you receive offers? If this is your question, you put your choices down after you receive offers :smile: I hope this helps :smile: For now when you put your options into your application form it'll usually go into a random order and when you do send your application off unis will not be able to see where else you have applied :smile:

yeah I sent off and paid on the 17th of october... my college have been super slow so I rang them up and they said it would be done by the 4th of november -.- it still says "reference in progress"... when your application has been sent off I THINK it takes ucas like 2 days to progress or something but I don't really know to be honest! good luck with your choices!
