Cardiff University

Cardiff University is a public research university in Cardiff, Wales, established in 1883 as the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire. It later became an independent university awarding its own degrees in 2005, after a series of institutional changes and the adoption of the Cardiff University operating name in 1999. Cardiff University is the only Welsh member of the Russell Group, and its academics and alumni have included four heads of state or government and two Nobel laureates.
