What to bring with you

Get ready to pack for your big move to Cardiff! Take a look at our handy uni checklist to make sure you don’t forget the important things.

Don't forget your documents

Make sure you’ve got any documentation you might need when you’re away from home – it's a good idea to take a photo of it so you've also got a record on your phone.

This might include:

  • Passport/driving licence/ID card
  • Insurance
  • Bursary/finance letters
  • Passport photos – always useful
  • Bank cards and discount cards
  • And don’t forget to bring any medication - prescription copies

Accommodation: what you need to make a happy and well-equipped home

If you're staying in student accommodation, it will be furnished, so you don’t need to buy large furniture items for your room. However, you will need to provide your own bedding, kitchen utensils, toiletries and cleaning products.

If you’re staying in rented private accommodation, then check with your landlord or agent for more information on what is provided.
