Student Welfare Services

We place a great deal of importance on your welfare and want your experience at Cardiff College International to be a happy and successful one. It is exciting studying in a different country but we understand that you may find things a little confusing or difficult at times.

You may feel homesick or have other problems, so there is always someone available for you to talk to. The following services are available:

Induction / Orientation Programme:
Run in September and January to help you get to know your tutors and fellow students and to enable you to feel relaxed and settled during the first few days.

Personal Tutor:
You'll have a personal tutor who will spend time with you regularly, discussing your progress or anything else you want to talk about.

International Office:
Our International Office can provide you with expert advice on all kinds of international welfare issues, from health insurance and accommodation to visas and immigration.

In addition we have an International Accommodation officer who can organise accommodation for you before you arrive and provide support if there are any problems during your stay.

The International ofice also organises a number of social activities for students throughout the year, most of which are free. Social activities are a vital complement to your studies as well as a great way to make new friends and get to know Welsh / British culture.
