Why Cardiff Met?

​Gustavo Luiz De Paulo Franca Studied BSc Software Engineering 2013 In my time in  Cardiff city, as well during my studies at Cardiff Met, I have no words to express how happy I was. Before leaving my hometown to live one year abroad I didn't believe that was possible to feel at home being so far from the place that I had lived for my entire life. The International Office, alongside with my other professors, helped me in every doubt that I could have so I could enjoy the most of my experience.
