Cardiff Metropolitan University, previously known as University of Wales Institute, Cardiff (UWIC), has an interesting story of origin. Four colleges merged in 1976 to form South Glamorgan Institute of Higher Education which was later renamed as Cardiff Institute of Higher Education. The institute got the power to award its own degrees in 1993 but it was three years later that it attained University College status within the University of Wales and was then renamed as University of Wales Institute, Cardiff. In 2011, another major change happened when UWIC split from the University of Wales and changed its name to Cardiff Metropolitan University. Since then, the university has been providing degrees in its own name in various undergraduate, postgraduate and research programs.

Cardiff is the capital of Wales and the eleventh largest city in the UK. Cardiff is the principal commercial center of Wales and is the base of the Senedd (the Welsh Parliament), Welsh media, and many cultural institutions. It is a popular yet less talked about tourist destination in the world. Cardiff was ranked sixth in the world on a list of alternative tourist destinations by National Geographic in 2011. 
Cardiff was a small town in the 19th century that rose to prominence when it was used as a port to transport coal when industries came to Wales. Since then, Cardiff has been an important part of the Welsh economy. Even though the population of the city amounts to just 10% of Wales, the capital contributes 20% of the Welsh GDP. With its beauty and importance, Cardiff is a place worth visiting, albeit for education or just sightseeing. 
 
Important landmarks/places nearby

Your exploration of the city can begin in the vicinity of the campus itself. Cardiff is blessed with scenic beauty and you can explore nature up close by visiting Charter for Trees Woods and People, Coopers Field, and Bute Park. The Heath Park Miniature Railway and the Museum of Cardiff are other notable places to visit during your exploration. 
 
Crime rate

The crime rate of Cardiff is 32.7 which translates as 32.7 crimes reported per 1000 people per annum. As compared to the national crime rate, Cardiff&rsquo;s crime rate stands at 104%. While there are certain areas where you would have to be careful, Cardiff is considered one of the safest places in the UK. However, before making any important decisions, we would recommend you do detailed research to make a well-informed decision. 
 
Nearby Airports

When you choose to study at Cardiff, there is just one airport you would need to be acquainted with. The Cardiff International airport is half an hour away from the university campus so you don&rsquo;t need to worry about driving far in order to catch your flight.
