Cardiff is a thriving and dynamic creative capital city with a rich cultural heritage. The city has its own airport; high-speed rail links from London and access from the M4 motorway.
Cardiff University has excellent modern facilities close to the city centre. We are grateful to Professor Stephen Rutherford and the School of Biosciences who are our local sponsor.
