Halls of Residence

Cardiff Metropolitan University aims to provide a safe and secure environment for students living on campus, with friendly Halls staff available to provide support and help throughout your stay with us.

We currently have nearly 1000 study bedrooms located at the Cyncoed and Plas Gwyn campuses. In addition, we also allocate just over 650 private en-suite halls to students through nomination agreements with private halls located near to the campuses. The private halls rooms must only be booked via Cardiff Met and not directly with Unite. You can apply for Halls online from Friday 1st April 2022. 

"I'd like to take this chance to thank you for your hard work to allow all of us students on campus to feel safe throughout such a difficult time for both students and staff. Your hard work and dedication to keep us safe is greatly appreciated." 1st year student -  June 2021

From September 2020 Cardiff Metropolitan University campuses became 'Smoke Free' and no smoking is permitted on any campus.
