Cathays Park

The Cathays Park campus is centred on Main Building

The Cathays Park campus is where most of our academic schools are based. With wide tree-lined avenues and elegant Portland stone buildings, it's an inspiring place to study.

The palpable feeling of history is contrasted by state-of-the-art facilities including new labs, lecture theatres and IT suites.
