English Language and writing skills support
Proficiency in the English language is very important, both in terms or written and oral communication. Evidence of ability in the English language is required for those candidates whose first language is not English or who have not had a substantial part of their education taught in the English language.
Cardiff Law School runs an English Language Support Programme for international students whose first language is not English.
Cardiff University's International Office provides advice and guidance to international students who are thinking of studying in the UK, have applied for a course or are already studying at the University.
