Graduate careers in Cardiff

Career city: Cardiff | Postgraduate study | Local graduate employers | Moving to Cardiff | Useful links

Cardiff Cardiff is jam packed. For a start it’s home to the Welsh National Assembly, a major employer as well as the devolved government for Wales. The city is also well known for its cultural, historical and sporting venues – and the resulting high quality of life in the city has encouraged major businesses, such as Endsleigh Insurance Services and British Gas, to locate here.

Redevelopment of the old docks in the Cardiff Bay area has led to further investment in the city, particularly in the busy leisure and tourism sectors. For media types, BBC and ITV Wales both have a strong presence in Cardiff.
