Cardiff University

Founded in 2025, 180 Degrees Consulting Cardiff is the first Welsh branch in the global network. We partner with charities, social enterprises, and community organisations across Cardiff and South Wales to help them expand their impact through practical, evidence-based consulting. Our consultants are high-performing students from a range of disciplines who work in small teams to deliver structured consulting projects for local organisations. Recent projects have focused on challenges such as increasing community engagement, improving youth participation, strengthening outreach strategies, and supporting sustainable organisational growth. At the same time, the branch aims to equip Cardiff students with hands-on consulting experience and professional development opportunities. Through training, mentorship, and real client work, consultants develop analytical, strategic, and leadership skills while contributing to organisations that are creating positive change in their communities.

Benefits to joining this branch

1

Develop Real Consulting Experience

Work in small consulting teams of six to deliver projects for charities and social enterprises across Cardiff and South Wales. Consultants gain hands-on experience conducting research, analysing organisational challenges, and developing practical recommendations for real clients. This provides an opportunity to apply academic skills to real-world problems while building the analytical, teamwork, and communication skills used in professional consulting environments.

2

Professional Development & Career Preparation

180 Degrees Consulting Cardiff provides a supportive environment where members can continuously develop their skills. Through training workshops, mentorship from experienced consultants, and hands-on project work, students strengthen their abilities in research, structured thinking, teamwork, and professional communication. The branch is designed to help members grow over the course of each consulting cycle, building confidence and practical skills that support both academic and professional development.

3

Make a Meaningful Social Impact

Wales receives significantly less charitable funding than many regions in England, which means many organisations operate with limited resources despite delivering essential community services. As the only 180 Degrees Consulting branch serving Wales, 180DC Cardiff works directly with charities and social enterprises across the region to help them overcome strategic and operational challenges. Consultants have the opportunity to apply their skills where they can make a meaningful difference, supporting organisations that are creating real impact within Welsh communities.
