Why Choose Cardiff?

 
Cardiff really is a city of contrasts. A castle with 1900 years of history stands alongside a modern shopping centre and a spectacular Civic Centre surrounded by acres of parkland. The Cardiff Bay development has created eight miles of waterfront with a range of new apartments, bars and restaurants.
 
For those seeking more culture there is easy access to the National Museum and Gallery Cardiff, the Museum of Welsh Life and the new Millennium Arts Centre, home of the Welsh National Opera.
 
Surrounded by areas of outstanding natural beauty, with the Brecon Beacons National Park, Swansea Gower Peninsula and picturesque Vale of Glamorgan all nearby, Cardiff really does have it all, which is why the city was short listed for the European Capital of Culture 2008.
 
In 2009, Cardiff became the first Welsh city to be given World Health Organization (WHO) Healthies Cities status.  Health Challenge Cardiff offers a wide range of information about good health and local activities.
 
Housing is reasonably priced, and our schools offer a high standard of education and facilities. The UHB Accommodation Department will offer help and support to new members of staff seeking to relocate to Cardiff.

The Vale of Glamorgan
