As the capital city of Wales, Cardiff is well connected and easy to get to. The university is based across two campuses, Cyncoed and Llandaff. The M4 motorway lies within easy reach of the university, giving access to London and the South East or, via the M5, to the South West, the Midlands and the North. Cyncoed campus is located close to the student area of Roath and is a short bus ride into the city centre. Llandaff campus is embedded in the community, close to the historic village of Llandaff, surrounded by parks and fields. Cardiff city centre is only 2 miles away, and Plas Gwyn accommodation is a 20-minute walk.
