This includes the shop, bar and food outlet on Llandaff campus. However, our shop on Cyncoed campus will be open until Friday 27th March to cater for residential students.
Advice and Support
The advice and support service will still be functioning, however there will be a change in the way we deliver this service due to staff members working remotely. Face to face drop-in and bookable appointments will no longer be available for students during this time. Any queries should be directed to suadvice@cardiffmet.ac.uk.
Please visit our support page for study and wellbeing advice during this time.
Societies and Sport
In line with the government advice to increase social distancing and avoid mass gatherings, we are suspending all sports and societies to activity until further notice. Furthermore, the university has made the decision to close all sports facilities on both campuses will be closed as of Wednesday 18th March. This includes all club training and gym facilities.
All minibuses will not be available to hire during this time as we do not want to encourage any non-essential travel. If you think your booking will be affected then please contact studentunion@cardiffmet.ac.uk
