With its wealth of trendy bars, clubs, live music and sense of fun, it is no wonder the vibrant, up-and-coming city of Cardiff is home to more than 25,000 students. The city has two universities, Cardiff University [map], which became the largest in Wales when it merged with the University of Wales College of Medicine in August 2004, and the University of Wales Institute [map]. Cardiff University has a history of service and achievement dating from the granting of its Royal Charter in 1883, and today it continues to build on its reputation as an international centre for teaching and research. As far as facts and figures go the university is a great success with 22,000 students, 5,000 staff, an annual turnover of £300 million, 5,000 student residences and 28 schools of learning. The university is located in the city’s attractive civic centre, and the academic departments, libraries and social facilities are all within a short walk of each other. It also makes a major contribution to lifelong learning within Wales through the Centre for Lifelong Learning, which offers a wide and varied range of courses and classes to half the population from centres located throughout South East Wales.
