I'm going to graduate next summer in genetics at Cardiff uni. I want to take a year out before a phd- is this frowned upon?

You can take time out, but it may be worth looking before you go and requesting deferred entry. That way you won't be trying to apply for places whilst your half way around the world (it also makes interviews easier).
