Studying Economics at Cardiff Met has given me tools to vastly improve my value in the job market. The staff have encouraged my personal development and continue to support me as I’m coming towards looking at the next steps.

I’ve been involved with inter-University competitions and been able to show my potential by coming 3rd in a worldwide economics game tournament alongside my peers. This achievement would not have been possible without the great support and encouragement of the Economics department.

Starting a business is not for the faint hearted – it is by far the most difficult thing I’ve ever done, and it would probably have been an impossible dream without my business partners, the Centre for Entrepreneurship and the Incubation Space scheme at Cardiff School of Art and Design.

It is however the most rewarding, exciting and thrilling thing I have ever done.

There are very few degree programmes in the UK quite like this one... By the end of the first year you’re ready to go as a self-employed holistic massage therapist, and by the second year you’re a fully qualified aromatherapist and reflexologist - so you can actually earn while you learn. For me, this degree programme has been the best decision I’ve ever made, and I can honestly tell you that I have never been happier.

Complementary Healthcare (with Practitioner Status) BSc (Hons)/DipHE/CertHE Course Overview No other undergraduate programme in the UK offers the opportunity to study at degree level and to gain three professional qualifications, at the highest level, in massage (MTI); aromatherapy (IFPA), and reflexology (AoR).

The degree focuses on the application of therapy skills in the clinical setting, initially via case study clinics in the university’s own Complementary Healthcare Clinic in years one and two and culminating in clinical placements in the final year. This clinical experience together with employability and entrepreneurship skills and an understanding of the evidence base will equip you well to follow a rewarding and fulfilling career in the field of complementary healthcare.

Clinical modules are delivered by specialist lecturers who are all experienced practicing therapists. As evidence based practice is integral to the programme, you will employ your research skills within case studies for each therapeutic discipline.

Year 3

A range of holistic massage skills and techniques are developed to professional standard in the first year.

Reflexology is also introduced here.

Qualitative and quantitative research methods will also be introduced and put into practice in the case studies for holistic massage and reflexology.

Biomedical science modules in anatomy, physiology and nutrition support the bodywork therapies. You will examine the importance of issues such as regulation and evidence-based medicine and benefit from the opportunity offered by the Interprofessional Education module to examine client cases alongside students of other healthcare disciplines.

You will learn the skills of aromatherapy and complete your training in reflexology, both to a professional standard. You will continue to develop skills in quantitative research methods including the use of statistical software, and learn about the use of audit. These research skills will be used to evaluate the case studies required for aromatherapy and reflexology. The biomedical theme will continue by developing your understanding of pathophysiology and mechanisms of disease. You will further develop your communication and listening skills whilst the Employability and Entrepreneurship module will help prepare you for running your own business and the world of graduate employment.

In your final year, you will undertake a work placement in a health or social care setting and participate in the running of a student clinic open to the general public. You will continue to develop your bodywork skills, increase your knowledge of the differential diagnosis of common diseases and examine the influence of psychological and sociological factors on health. Each student undertakes a research project, which contributes substantially to his or her degree classification.

A full module list can be found on our website.

Employability & Careers Real-life experiences are provided through work placements and in clinics. You will complete your basic professional training during the first two years developing your skills in the teaching and case study clinics. In your final year, the students are qualified practitioners and take responsibility for running the Complementary Healthcare Clinic, which is open to the general public.

You will spend part of your final year at a Practice Placement. This valuable and life enhancing opportunity gives you the experience of working with particular groups of clients to whom you would not usually have access in private practice.

The experience consolidates therapeutic skills whilst developing the confidence to work in challenging environments, thereby enhancing employability.

The complementary healthcare team maintains contact with therapists and graduates after they have completed their study, offering current students the opportunity to work with and learn from professionals working in the field. Most of our graduates are working in private practice as self-employed practitioners, who have set up their own businesses

Gaining work experience in your relevant field is always encouraged at Cardiff Met - in fact it was a compulsory module on my Computer Science course! My initial work experience at uni was with the IT Team at Cardiff Met itself, where I did one day a week with them doing all sorts of tasks. I spent some weeks working on the service desk in the library, and others creating training material for the Microsoft Office Specialist Excel course. This was a great experience for me, working in a variety of roles within IT, and was key to getting my role at an IT support company over summer.

I chose to study Dental Technology at Cardiff Met due to its practical based learning style. I would recommend this course in particular as it works very closely with the University Dental Hospital. Carrying out a work placement at the hospital helped me to develop my skills as well as giving me an insight into the role of a real working dental technician.

One of my favourite things about the course is its social aspect, spending every day in the labs allowed me to get to know my classmates and lecturers really well.

When you’re studying Primary Education at Cardiff Met there are lots of opportunities to have new experiences. One of my favourite ones so far involved working with a year 6 class from a school in Llantwit Major to make a song and a music video.

It was a digital competency project – where we learn to take a subject or two and incorporate the use of technology within them. We’ve learned through our course that this is becoming more and more important in the curriculum for primary schools.

I was very nervous going into the school at the start of the project, but as time went on I built up a lot more confidence from talking to new people every day.

Something that really drew me to the course when I was making my decision on where to study was the hands-on learning experience that the course provides. The role of a dietitian can be incredibly varied, working in hospital, in industry, private care or sport which is exactly what I love about it. This variation is also reflected in our course, one lesson we might be learning about clinical science and genetics.

Whilst the next, we could be cooking up a storm in the kitchen, creating a menu for somebody with a medical condition. Or we might be in the hospital ward simulation suite learning to read medical notes.

Throughout the summer of my second year I had the opportunity to work on placement as a Performance Analyst (PA) for the under 21s Welsh Netball team during the World Netball Youth Cup in Africa. This opportunity not only provided me with more experience and practical knowledge of the role of a PA, but also invaluably facilitated my self-development by increasing confidence and problem solving skills. In fact, the list of skills or characteristics that improved for myself over these three weeks spent away with the team are endless and I am very grateful for the opportunity that was offered to me.

Three years ago, the journey started when I made it into Cardiff Met and was immediately taken by the overwhelming amount of support from the International Office team during what was otherwise a rather scary time. Looking back, the past two and a half years have been the best of my life. Cardiff is a city I fall in love with a little bit more every day, and there’s nowhere I would rather be.

Top in the UK for Student Living Costs - Not only is Cardiff a great place to study, but has been ranked as the most affordable city for Students in the 2017 NatWest Student Living Index.

Going to university is a considerable financial investment, but you should remember that holding a higher qualification such as a degree will improve your job prospects, making it easier to find a fulfilling, well paid job. During your time at university, you will have two main costs to meet, tuition fees and living costs.

As a full-time undergraduate student, you may be eligible package of financial support made up of: • A loan to cover the cost of your tuition fees.

• A loan to help with your living costs.

• Various means-tested non-repayable grants (Welsh students only).

*All figures published on this page are correct at the time of publication and relate to September 2018 entry.

Please visit our website at www.cardiffmet.ac.uk/fees for the most up-to-date information prior to making an application and for figures relating to 2019 entry.

FAQ’s Understanding what financial support is available and how you pay back any student loans can be confusing, so we have put together some answers to the questions you may have:

Yes, you can apply for two types of government loans. The first is a tuition fee loan, which is automatically paid to your university to cover the cost of your course.

Q. How much are the tuition fees?

For 2018 entry, full time undergraduate tuition fees at Cardiff Met are £9,000 per year*

The second is a combination of a maintenance loan and grant, which are there to help with the cost of living (such as accommodation, books, food and other additional costs you may incur).

Maintenance loans are based on household income and paid to you in three instalments during the academic year to help you manage your money.

Q. Do I need the funds to pay the tuition fees up front?

Home (UK/EU) Students No, the government will be providing tuition fee loans for the duration of your three or four-year course and this is only repaid once your salary exceeds £21,000 a year.

International Students International students are advised to contact our international team to discuss tuition fee payments. See page 157

166

Q. Is there more than one type of student loan/grant available?

Tuition fee loans are available for the full cost of your course, no matter what your personal financial situation. Maintenance loans differ slightly, in that, they are means tested (dependent on your parents combined household salary) and given in conjunction with maintenance grants (the grants are non-repayable, meaning you will never have to pay them back).

Undergraduate Prospectus 2019.qxp_Back 19/02/2018 16:38 Page 167

Q. Am I entitled to a grant?

All Welsh students will be eligible for a minimum grant of £1,000 and additional grants will be based on household income. Students from households living away from home (e.g. in university student accommodation) with an income of up to £18,370 will be entitled to the maximum grant of £8,100 which doesn’t have to be paid back.

English students are no longer entitled to a grant, but instead an increased maintenance loan to cover the cost of living.

For more information, please visit the relevant website in the ‘Where can I find out more information?’ section opposite.

Q. When and how are the student loans repaid?* You won't be eligible to repay the loan until you graduate and begin earning £21,000 or over; monthly repayments are 9% of everything you earn above this figure. Loan repayments are taken from your ‘net’ pay through the Income Tax system. Therefore, like Income Tax and National Insurance, the money never actually makes it into your bank and if your income ever falls below £21,000, you don't get a job or take a career break, your payments will stop. See the table below for example repayments: Annual income before tax

If you want to make sure that you receive the first installment of your loan (and grants!) when you start university you must apply for your financial support as soon as you decide to apply to university, don’t wait until you are offered a place. Applications must be renewed each academic year.

Cardiff Met Bursaries & Scholarships The University is proud to offer a range of bursaries and scholarships designed to help you succeed. For further information about what’s available, eligibility and how to apply, please visit: www.cardiffmet.ac.uk/scholarships

Money Tips Q. Where can i find out more information?* For more information on financing your way through university and how to apply for the various loans available, take a look at the following websites:

Making your money last is an important skill whilst at university, so check out our ‘Freshers Guide to Managing Your Money’ by student blogger Lorna Wood at: www.cardiffmet.ac.uk/studentblogs

Welsh & other EU students: www.studentfinancewales.co.uk English students: www.direct.gov.uk/studentfinance Northern Irish students: www.studentfinanceni.co.uk Scottish students: www.saas.gov.uk

Open Days We also run finance talks at all of our Open Days. This is a great opportunity for both students and parents to find out more and ask any questions about student finance.

Our Student Support Services also run a Student Finance & Welfare Advisory Service offering confidential, impartial and non-judgemental advice on all aspects of student finance: www.cardiffmet.ac.uk/studentservices

To start, don’t throw away all your money during freshers or your first few weeks of uni. A lot of students spend a lot when the term first starts and end up scrimping until the next loan instalment comes in.

So plan ahead…

I discovered the Centre for Entrepreneurship early into the first year of my degree and I have never looked back! Shortly before I began at university, I began my business Jenny Evans Designs. I felt quite out of my depth in areas, particularly when it came to skills like accounting. I attended all of the workshops the Centre ran and really enjoyed the networking opportunities - both with students and business owners that came with the sessions.

Each workshop had an experienced business owner running the session and they got me really thinking outside of the normal perimeters I had set for myself of what I thought an artist should be, who I should sell to and how I could sell.

After attending a huge variety of sessions from marketing, SEO to insurance, I then began to meet with the team on a 1-1 basis. We looked at who my customer was and how I could sell to them at length - I would come out of each session feeling invigorated, reassured and excited.

Through their guidance, support and belief in me, the Centre helped me see myself as an entrepreneur and not ‘just an artist’. They encouraged me to apply for various business awards and in my second year I came runner up for two welsh business awards. By the end of my second year, the Centre for Entrepreneurship asked me to apply for the Santander Universities Entrepreneurship Awards. Their expertise has played a massive roll in my business development and without them, I would not have been able to win the grand prize of ÂŁ25,000 and beat off such stiff competition.

With their help, I now have a business that has an exciting future with commissions lined up waiting for me to complete upon my graduation. The Centre has given me something completely invaluable - self belief - that has allowed me to achieve what I have already and dream even bigger for the future.

5 BENEFITS OF STUDYING ABROAD WHILST AT UNI

Grace Henley English & Drama BA (Hons) Graduate

Nutrition BSc (Hons) 1 YOU’LL MAKE FRIENDS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD Now by this, I mean all the new friends that you will make and socialise with, who hopefully you can go and stay with at a later date, in their home countries!

2 YOU’LL HAVE A SHINING CV, THAT STANDS OUT FROM THE CROWD! Employers absolutely love seeing study/work abroad on a CV. Not only does it prove that you can be independent and self-sufficient, but also that you can establish good international relationships personally and professionally. You’re outgoing, confident and can take on a challenge.

3 YOU’LL DEVELOP AN APPRECIATION FOR CULTURE This is more than a holiday. Living abroad allows you to immerse yourself in a different lifestyle. Do as the Romans do while you’re away, from diet to nightlife to hobbies - and beyond.

174

4 YOU’LL BECOME A ‘GLOBAL CITIZEN’ This new culture will encourage new ways of thinking. Either within the workplace or in a seminar full of international students, you will hear so many interesting ideas and perspectives from so many different backgrounds. Either you will re-think what you thought you knew or your enthusiasm for your course will be reignited. All of this will come home with you and really benefit your studies at home.

5 YOU’LL DISCOVER NEW OPPORTUNITIES You may take the opportunity to travel even further, or apply for a working visa and stay longer in your new country. The university you studied at may even provide post-graduate career options who knows? That’s the best thing about travel - it could lead you anywhere.

Cardiff is an exciting, modern capital city that punches well above its weight for its size and relatively small population of around 350,000 people. It has been described as the ‘epitome of cool’ by the renowned travel guide Lonely Planet, and ‘one of the coolest cities in the UK’ by Rough Guides.

In 2017 the city also topped the NatWest Student Living Index as the most affordable student city in the UK. Cardiff’s big city attitude combined with its small city benefits make it the ideal place to live, work and study.

About the City

Going out

As the Welsh capital, Cardiff boasts an excellent year-round calendar of events. The city has hosted some of the world’s premier sporting events, including the Champions League Final and the Rugby World Cup, and is home to the annual 6 nations rugby tournament.

The traditional student areas of Cardiff are found in the suburbs of Roath and Cathays, where there are plenty of pubs, cafes, bars and shops to cater for your every need. Whether you’re looking to watch sport on a big screen with a cheap meal and a drink, or prefer cocktails in a trendy bar and some live music, these areas have something to suit any taste. In the city centre, traditional pubs and craft beer bars sit alongside the larger nightclubs which all host weekly student themed nights and offers, whilst Mill Lane is popular for its stylish cocktail bar scene. For live music lovers, Cardiff is home to a variety of smaller independent venues like Clwb Ifor Bach and Fuel Rock Club, with the Motorpoint Arena and the Principality Stadium playing host to big-name bands and artists.

Major theatre productions and big-name touring comedy acts and musicians are a regular fixture too. Top this off with a variety of quirkier events like street food festivals, pop-ups, and secret cinemas, and you’ll find that there’s always something different to do here.

Cardiff city centre sits neatly alongside acres of green parkland, and is home to the huge St. David’s Dewi Sant shopping and entertainment centre. There’s also a warren of boutique Victorian shopping arcades, three world-class sporting stadiums, and a lively coffee shop and craft beer scene – not forgetting a stunning waterfront area and the bars and restaurants of Cardiff Bay.

St David’s Hall in the city centre and The Glee Club in Cardiff Bay are great venues for live comedy, and if film is your thing, Cardiff is home to four multiplex movie theatres, and a handful of pop-up cinemas which hold screenings in unlikely venues like Cardiff Castle and even rooftops and basements around the city. For drama and musical fans, the iconic Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay is a worldfamous theatre and arts venue, and at the award-winning Chapter Arts Centre in Canton you’ll find a cinema, contemporary theatre, bar and café all rolled in to one.

Eating Out

Sports

When it comes to food, Cardiff has persuaded famous chains like Wahaca and Shake Shack to ditch bigger cities like Liverpool, Bristol and Manchester and open their first restaurants outside London in the Welsh capital. Canadian coffee and doughnuts import Tim Horton’s is the latest addition to the high street.

Cardiff has an incredible sporting heritage. You could spend your weekends here watching football at the Cardiff City stadium, international cricket at the SSE SWALEC, ice hockey with the Cardiff Devils in Cardiff Bay and of course, international rugby at the Principality Stadium.

If big name chains aren’t your thing, the city is teeming with independent restaurants and takeaways. The Canton, Cathays and Roath areas can cater for anything from a fiendish falafel craving to a deep desire for duck pancakes.

If you’re into mass participation or non-competitive sporting events, the Cardiff 10k and Cardiff Half Marathon are gaining popularity every year, with a new full Marathon planned for 2018. The UK’s only Velothon has also become an annual highlight, welcoming more than 10,000 cyclists to Cardiff to tackle a 140km, traffic-free route through South Wales.

For example, Canton’s Dusty Knuckle Pizza has been rated among the UK’s top 25 pizzerias by the Sunday Times, while Cathays boasts award-winning high-end Indian restaurant Mint and Mustard.

Meanwhile, Roath is home to the 100% vegan Ana Loka Café Bar. Cardiff is also home to a thriving Street Food scene, with dozens of independent vendors popping up in quirky venues like The DEPOT a 24,000 square-foot derelict warehouse that has been transformed in to a mecca for craft beer and casual dining.

The city also hosts a major international food festival that takes place in Cardiff Bay every summer, as well as the annual Great Welsh Beer and Cider Festival and the Tiny Rebel Brewfest craft beer event.

Adventures - In the city & beyond For those seeking adventure within the city, there are plenty of options indoors, including climbing, white-water rafting, ice-skating or swimming in a state-of-the-art Olympic sized pool.

But Cardiff also has to be one of the UK’s best-placed cities for easy access to great outdoors. You can enjoy surfing, coasteering or simply sunbathing at world-class beaches, or head to the Brecon Beacons National Park for biking, hiking or horse riding - all within an hour’s drive from the city centre.

Mental Health & Wellbeing

i-zone

Starting a university course can be a stressful time for anyone, especially if you already have a mental health condition. Our team of wellbeing advisers are here to help and support you to engage fully with your studies, including making adjustments to your assessments or supporting you through 1:1 mentoring. We are committed to removing any stigma around mental health, and we encourage all students to disclose any issues or concerns to us so that we can make university a happy, healthy successful time for you. Once you talk to us, we’ll agree a range of ways to help you, which might include counselling, peer support or referral to statutory or non-governmental outside support services. We also run activities throughout the year to support general wellbeing, and we encourage you to look out for those.

The i-Zone desks on both campuses are your first port of call for any query relating to your life as a student. Usually they can answer your question straightaway, but if not then they will refer you to the right people to help you, whether your question is about enrolment, bus timetables or the location of your next lecture.

Money & General Welfare Managing your money is a key part of making university an enjoyable experience. If you need specialist advice on matters such as sources of financial support, benefits, budgeting, or any other financial problems that may affect your studies, our Senior Student Advisers are here to help. Offering drop-in, booked appointments and group sessions, they aim to take the stress out of your finances.

They are also the main contact for students who are leaving care, have caring responsibilities themselves, or are estranged from their families in any other way.

In fact, our Senior Advisers are a great source of information on anything that’s affecting your student life, whether it is accommodation, friendship worries or emerging health issues, you will find that they are ready with a listening ear and a range of solutions.

Cardiff Metropolitan University has six main centres for research activity – the five academic Schools and the International Centre for Design and Research (PDR). Much of the research at Cardiff Met is applied and is linked in some way to professional practice. We have strong connections with industry as our research addresses real world problems and attempts to find solutions to them.

Research informs our undergraduate programmes in a number of important ways.

• Programmes of study at Cardiff Met are modern, appropriate and underpinned by leading-edge research. Curricula are constantly updated when new research findings become known and this means that when students graduate their knowledge is up-to-date and relevant.

• Across our five academic Schools and PDR there are centres of particular research expertise and our researchers are leaders in their respective fields. The knowledge they create helps to make our curricula distinctive.

• Our senior researchers are Readers and Professors. They contribute to the delivery of our programmes and share both what they have discovered in their research and also their experience of actually doing research.

• Many of our programmes of study have elements in which students engage in their own problem-based learning and develop their own research skills. Working in excellent facilities and with high specification equipment, students become accomplished researchers and create their own new knowledge.

The research skills they develop and the experience they gain help to make them very employable.

• The delivery of our programmes is also informed by research about how students study and learn, and how our academic staff facilitate learning.

• With a positive experience of research during their undergraduate programmes, some of our students pursue a career in research either through taught postgraduate provision (e.g. MA, MBA, MSc programmes) or through research degrees (e.g. MPhil, PhD) either at Cardiff Met or elsewhere.
