Also same! I loved Cardiff so much when I went on the open day, the course is exactly what I am looking for and it has the right balance of coursework and exams for me. So nervous about applying, it is my top choice, so I am really hoping I get an offer!

I'm off to the next open day! Every other university is offering a 4 year course and Cardiff is a 3 year so I'm going to see what they're doing differently! Cardiff is so far away from me so it's turning into a big journey 😭

Welcs! I see, let me know if you do please. I applied on the 5th of November. Got an offer from Manchester, but don't really want to go there. Hopefully I don't mess up A2 :') What's your first choice?
