We are the Association of British and Chinese University Students (ABACUS)—a society that warmly welcomes people of all nationalities and backgrounds to meet new friends, join exciting socials, and most importantly, have fun! Whether you're looking to socialise, try new activities, or simply find a community, ABACUS is the perfect place to belong.
For international students, we aim to be a “home away from home,” —a space where you can settle in, make lasting friendships, and feel supported throughout your journey at university. For students from the UK, we offer a gateway to explore Chinese and wider Far-Eastern culture.
We advocate for diversity, so don’t be shy—share your own culture with us at our events and have a chat with everyone!
Don’t miss your chance to experience a new culture and indulge in delicious Asian cuisine, and enjoy an unforgettable time with us! If you have any questions, feel free to chat with any of our committee members or drop us a message on Instagram. We look forward to seeing you at the Freshers Fair!
Make sure to stay connected by following our Instagram and TikTok (@cardiffabacus) for the latest updates, event announcements, and sneak peaks of what's to come!
