Taith is a mobility programme that aims to invite the world to Wales, and hosting people in Wales is a fundamental principle of the programme.
- For students who study at Cardiff for the whole academic year 24/25 we will be able to offer a one- off grant of £1250.
- For students who study at Cardiff University for the Autumn or Spring semesters 24/25 we will be able to offer one-off grant of £500.
These grants will be paid directly to the students once they are in Cardiff and fully enrolled in their programme of study and on completion of the relevant documentation.
This year Cardiff was also ranked 2nd in the 2023 NatWest Student Living Index meaning we are one of the most cost-effective cities for UK students, and one of the most affordable.
We hope that the financial support from the Welsh Government combined with the lower living costs of Cardiff make us an attractive option for your students – we look forward to welcoming more of them to study with us next year.
