Cardiff University Maths students - What are/were your experiences of Cardiff?

heyy, im a first year financial maths student. at cardiff uni all maths courses are pretty much taught together for the first year except a few optional modules.you should compare modules that cardiff does to other unis . the structure is u learn 5 modules per semester 2 are dual semester then at the end of each semester you have formal exams on them. its quite content heavy in my opinion so if you miss one lecture you will be behind so i recommend never missing any otherwise it can get really stressful. cardiff does have a maths support service so if you cant figure a question out they can help you aswell as student mentors and personal tutors so there is quite a bit of support in place.the course itself may be harder or easier to others depending on what a levels you did people who did further maths or computing will find first year easier since you start with further maths topics.the teaching structure was just lectures and tutorials (exercise classes) ran by second yr phd students but now its a mixture of lectures and workshops (kinda like school) as-well as some online classes but mostly in person. a negative about this course is that you dont really get mocks they let u see past papers but most dont have solutions a positive is that the maths building was recently built for this year so it looks really nice and is right next to the student union.
