Cardiff Metropolitan University draws its inspiration from over 150 years of commitment to education as a force for good in the Cardiff Capital Region and beyond.

Further, the University is the largest provider of full-time undergraduate sport education in the UK, with graduate outcomes that are built on a unique model of education that embeds students into the University and community sport infrastructure. Our sport pedigree is built on research excellence; Cardiff Met was ranked as a top 10 UK University for research power in Sport in REF 2021. The University’ School of Education and Social Policy is home to the largest teacher education and training centre in Wales and is a centre of research excellence for all aspects of education theory and practice, while also boasting a growing portfolio of social sciences degree programmes from criminology and policing, to sociology and social policy, politics, English, creative writing and media.

Yn dilyn penodiad Llywydd ac Is-Ganghellor newydd, yr Athro Rachael Langford, ym mis Ionawr 2024, mae'r Brifysgol wedi adnewyddu ffocws a blaenoriaethau ei gweledigaeth a chenhadaeth ei Strategaeth 2030.

Gyda dros 12,000 o fyfyrwyr ar draws dau gampws bywiog yng Nghaerdydd a 18,000 yn fwy o ddysgwyr yn astudio trwy 12 partner rhyngwladol, mae ein cymuned o 30,000 o bobl yn wirioneddol fyd-eang ac wedi ei huno gan ein hymrwymiad cyffredin i ddatblygu diwylliant o urddas a pharch at bawb wrth weithio ac astudio. Rydym yn falch o fod yn Brifysgol Noddfa gyntaf Cymru, daliwr Gwobr Sefydliadol Arian Athena Swan, a'r brifysgol orau yng Nghymru yng Nghynghrair People and Planet 23/24.

Un o’n prif uchelgeisiau yw ymrwymo i roi llwyddiant ein myfyrwyr wrth wraidd popeth a wnawn.

Llwyddom i ennill ein safle gorau yn y Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide a ni oedd y dringwr pennaf yng Nghymru; fe wnaethom ddringos 18 lle yn y Guardian University Guide, a chawsom ein dewis fel 'Prifysgol y Flwyddyn yng Nghymru’ gan The Mail University Guide 2025'.

Mae Ysgol Gelf a Dylunio’r Brifysgol yn un o'r Ysgolion Celf hynaf yn y DU a'r ysgol gelf a dylunio fwyaf yng Nghymru, ac ymysg y 3 gorau yn REF2021 am effaith ymchwil ei staff.
