Our concrete society award, held aloft in front of the building on a sunny day

We don't like to brag about this (too often) but in 1976 our brand new Arts and Social Studies Library was awarded 'commended' status at the Concrete Society Awards, or rather our architects FaulknerBrowns were for putting us up! (1/4)

Cardiff University provides part-time courses for adults. Improve your CV, increase your knowledge, be inspired and make new friends. You could also prepare for degree studies by enrolling on one of our pathways.
Courses start throughout the academic year.

From housing to healthcare
A mature student graduating this week has credited the University’s Pathway Programme with helping her change career.
www.cardiff.ac.uk/news/view/29...

“Four years ago, becoming a nurse felt like an impossible goal. I did not have the qualifications for direct entry and, as a mature student with financial responsibilities, I needed a route that could work alongside full-time employment." Samah studied the Pathway to Healthcare. Congratulations!

Congratulations to Kate! Kate completed the Pathway to Heathcare at Lifelong Learning before studying a BSc Occupational Therapy.
“The Pathway was a great stepping stone to prepare me for degree studies. My confidence in my ability has grown."

Our visitors received a very warm welcome at our Adult Learner Taster Day. Thank you to everyone who attended, we hope you return to study with us soon.
