Cardiff Sixth Form College

Top university destinations for Cardiff students include Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College, London School of Economics and University College London as well as top universities in the US, Hong Kong, Australia, Europe and other international destinations where students study academic subjects such as medicine, law, engineering, computer science and economics.

The College provides excellent UCAS guidance including writing personal statements, interview technique, support for university admissions tests and provides a range of speakers to inspire and motivate students.

Students also enjoy a wide range of extra-curricular activities including debating, sport, music, drama and Duke of Edinburgh and are fortunate to live in state-of-the-art accommodation right in the heart of the lively capital city of Cardiff.

Here at Cardiff Sixth Form College we are all constantly learning.  As teachers, we analyse our classes and teaching styles, evaluate our testing and marking, look at inspirational teaching methods from around the globe, ensure that the atmosphere in which we operate is conducive to learning and provide constant feedback and support.  We bring together the best in East and West teaching; literally searching the world for the best approaches to education and integrate the rigour and discipline of the East with the innovation and creativity of the West.

The culture of the College is very important and we are modern, forward-thinking, intelligent and agile when it comes to change.  CSFC is not a traditional boarding school; it is a 21st century, innovative international college and an interim between school and university.  We constantly look forward, research new skills, make use of technology, combine on and offline teaching and learning and, in doing so, often lead the way in terms of standards by which all schools are judged.
