We are delighted that you have chosen to come to UWIC for your Erasmus study period, and hope you will find your stay rewarding and enjoyable. This information package has been compiled to help you plan your visit to Wales. Please read this information package in conjunction with our webpage (www.uwic.ac.uk) where you will find more details about Cardiff and UWIC. As an Erasmus student you will know that you have the unique privilege of not having to pay tuition fees to UWIC. Depending on your subject area, you may also have a little more freedom in your module choice than UK students. Before you leave for the UK, you should agree your study choices with your home tutor. These should be indicated on the enclosed ECTS Learning Agreement which should be signed by both your home tutor and the Erasmus Co-ordinator at UWIC. It is usually possible for students to make changes to their original module choices within the first two weeks of the Semester. Occasionally some modules may be withdrawn for a number of reasons, or there may be a timetable clash which could prevent you from studying a certain combination of modules, so you may need to be a little flexible. Whilst it is useful for us to have an idea of your module choices, it is usual for the Learning Agreement to be signed by the UWIC Erasmus Co-ordinator on arrival. We do not have a formal application form, but are happy to accept applications on your home institution's application form, or simply to accept a CV. Please direct all applications via the Erasmus Co-ordinator, so that we can check that your application is eligible. Please send your applications in good time, by 30 May 2010 (for students coming in the Autumn term) and 30 October 2010 (for students coming in the Spring Term). After these dates we cannot guarantee that you will be accepted. ABOUT UWIC (University of Wales Institute, Cardiff) The Institute was formed in 1976 from four separate colleges of Further Education. In 1996, it was granted University status and became University of Wales Institute, Cardiff (UWIC). In November 1995, UWIC was one of only three universities in the UK to be awarded the Government's Charter Mark for Excellence in Public Service. Specific points singled out for praise were academic standards and the levels of student satisfaction. The Charter Mark has just been renewed for a third three- year period. UWIC prides itself on its relationship with its students, seeking their opinions on a range of college matters. Students tell us they choose UWIC not only because of this favourable reputation, but because it offers vocational courses closely linked with industry and the professions. We also place great emphasis on the need to prepare our students for work opportunities overseas, organising a wide range of work placements and study visits outside the UK, through a thriving programme of exchange schemes. UWIC is one of the largest colleges of its kind in Britain with some 11,000 students. It attracts students from all parts of the world because of its reputation, not only for its range of quality courses, but also for the high level of care shown to students. UWIC’s courses are based within one of the University’s five Schools, which are located on four Campuses across Cardiff. Llandaff Campus: School of Health Sciences School of Art & Design *Colchester Avenue Campus: School of Management *(This School will move to the Llandaff campus Sept 2010) Cyncoed Campus: School of Education School of Sport Howard Gardens Campus: School of Art & Design There are a variety of degree and diploma courses available, as well as postgraduate and research opportunities. Many of our courses have an international element and we enjoy partnerships with higher education institutions around the world. The courses have been designed to provide a study programme of sufficient depth and rigour to equip students, on completion, with the necessary critical understanding, professional knowledge, skills and attitudes to make a meaningful contribution to their chosen profession. WHO'S WHO? The Erasmus Co-ordinator, based at the Llandaff Campus, will send out initial Information Packages to Erasmus students, giving details about Cardiff, UWIC, how to apply for accommodation, and any other relevant information. Any specific questions relating to accommodation should be addressed to the Accommodation Service. Please don't contact the Erasmus Co-ordinator if you have any queries about accommodation; they are not responsible for the allocation of rooms to students. Students should contact the Erasmus Co-ordinator for their subject area if they have any specific questions about their studies.

The dates for 2010/2011 are as follows: Autumn Term 27/09/10 – 17/12/10 (12 weeks) Spring Term 17/01/11 – 25/03/11 (10 weeks) Summer 03/05/11 – 24/06/11 (8 weeks) Term ARRIVAL Erasmus students arriving for the Autumn term are welcome to take advantage of the "Year 1 Induction Week", which will give you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with your new surroundings and the facilities on offer at UWIC. Some Schools will also arrange a special induction meeting for Erasmus students, when they will be able to enrol, confirm their module choices, arrange their timetable, and meet other exchange students. When making your travel arrangements, please try to plan your journey so that you arrive at UWIC on a Monday - Friday, during the daytime if at all possible. Students arriving on Saturdays and Sundays may have to wait until the following Monday for assistance with finding accommodation. Please contact the Erasmus Co-ordinator for your subject area to check enrolment details. ACCOMMODATION Full details of accommodation available to Erasmus students can be found in the leaflet which accompanies this information package. Please complete the Accommodation Application form in this Information Pack to let us know your preference. Remember, the earlier you return your Accommodation Application form, the more likely you are to be allocated a room on campus. [email protected] LIVING IN THE UK Banks You may wish to open a bank account in Cardiff, but for a period of one term this may not be necessary as you should have no difficulty obtaining cash from a cash machine in the same way as you do at home. If you decide to open an account here, it is advisable to choose a bank that is close to your study campus or accommodation. You are likely to need the following documents if opening a bank account: Passport (or other form of identity) Letter from your home bank confirming that you are a reliable customer Letter or other document stating that you are a UWIC student Proof of your address in the UK Banks are normally open from 9.30 am to 4.30 p.m. Monday-Friday. Credit cards are accepted widely in the UK. Students are advised to have at least £500 - £600 per month for living. To this should be added the cost of books and study materials. Beware! Don't get caught out! Cardiff Bus drivers don't give change, so make sure you have plenty of coins. Employment / National Insurance Many students take a part-time job whilst they are studying at UWIC. EEA Nationals may work in the UK. No permission is needed. However, you will be subject to UK taxation rules and must pay National Insurance contributions and tax in the same way as residents of the UK (although if you earn a low wage you will be exempt from paying tax).

  • Electoral Reform Society Response From: Electoral Reform Society
    DLG 22 Ymchwiliad i amrywiaeth ym maes llywodraeth leol Inquiry into diversity in local government Ymateb gan: Electoral Reform Society Response from: Electoral Reform Society Introduction Earlier this year ERS Cymru published ‘New Voices’ a report looking at the barriers to diversity across Welsh politics. The report examined UK Parliament, the Welsh Assembly and Welsh local government in turn, assessing the unique circumstances in each which halt gender equality and greater diversity generally being reached. As part of this work on local government we have assessed the current makeup of Welsh local authorities, following last year’s local elections, surveyed elected representatives in Wales with 224 councillors responding and undertook in depth interviews with key figures in local authorities in Wales, including Debbie Wilcox, Leader of Newport Council and the WLGA, Rodney Berman, Councillor and former Leader of Cardiff Council and Yvonne Jardine of Swansea Council. The full report can be found here: https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/latest-news-and- research/publications/new-voices-how-welsh-politics-can-begin-to-reflect-wales/ 1. Understanding the importance of diversity among local councillors, including the effect on public engagement, debate and decision making. 1.1. At present just 28% of Wales’ councillors are women. In two local authorities in Wales there are no women at all in the cabinet. Only 30% of candidates in last year’s election were women, with a third of wards having no women standing at all.1 1.2. In our survey, which 224 councillors undertook we asked for a range of information including age, sexual orientation and ethnicity in addition to gender.

That the green wedge protection to the North of Cardiff, stretching from Creigiau to St Mellons will be reviewed as part of the next LDP. That the National Development Framework Consultation Draft states: “The Welsh Government supports the use of green belts in the South East region in managing and planning urban growth.
