Cardiff Uni postgrad acceptance rate?

I'm an international student trying to go from MA archives at Aberystwyth to MA Conservation at Cardiff. I thought I wouldn't be able to extend my student visa, but circumstances have changed, but I'm worried they've changed too late for loans and visa processing. I'm hoping the uni can help me with this.
Does anyone know how competitive the course is? I've found extremely conflicting information online, with some saying 20% and others saying 70%. I also can't find anything on this course in particular.
My two previous degrees are both a high 2.1 and the entry requirements are 2.2. I also have relevant work experience. While I definitely meet minimums, I'm still not sure what my likelihood of acceptance is.

Hiya!

So glad you are keen to come to Cardiff. The MSc Conservation Practice course we offer (linked here) is part of the school of Archaeology, History and Religion, so I would contact them with you queries, as although I am also doing my Masters here at Cardiff, I won't be able to detail admission processes. Here are their contact details: [email protected] or +44 (0)29 2087 4470
Also please be aware this is a conversion course, so it is tailored for those who don't have a relevant undergraduate degree.
They will be happy to hear how enthusiastic you are about the course, and your experience.
Good luck!
