We have established ourselves as a destination for student performance athletes
At Cardiff Met University we have established ourselves as a destination for student performance athletes. This has been achieved through our commitment to providing a performance environment for athletes and shown by various successes on the university and international stage. This has included an impressive 40 athletes and 12 support staff representing Team Wales, England, Guernsey and Jersey across 11 sports at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, all of whom have studied or work at the University.
We are able to support athletes with a wide range of support services through our unique structure of dedicated and full-time practitioners and coaches who are also integrated and supported by academic members of staff from the Cardiff School of Sport & Exercise Health Sciences, ensuring our support is well structured and benefiting from the latest research.
