The challenge provides a fantastic opportunity to an exceptional student who can demonstrate the qualities we seek in our applicants and which we nurture in our students,” she said.
“At the same time this initiative will reinforce our position as one of the most sought after universities amongst some of the most talented students in the UK.”
But Dr Philip Dixon, director of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) in Wales, slammed the scheme as a “gimmick”.
He said: “While I think that the individual student who wins this process will be very fortunate, it is a very sad indication of the state in which our higher education system finds itself that gimmicks like this have to be offered by our universities.
“I wonder where this will end – will we see the universities of Wales offering buy-one-get-one-free degrees?”
To be in with a chance of winning, students must have accepted an offer to study at Cardiff next year before undertaking a series of challenges which will increase in difficulty between now and next spring.
The first series will take place online, while the final will bring the best students to Cardiff University for a live head-to-head challenge.
All finalists will earn a scholarship towards their undergraduate tuition fees.
The first stage of the “ultimate scholarship” competition will appear on the university’s Thrive website later this month.
