DEGREES WITH<br />
A DIFFERENCE<br />
Here are ten<br />
reasons why you<br />
should study for<br />
a degree–<strong>level</strong><br />
course at Grŵp<br />
Llandrillo Menai:<br />
STAY LOCAL<br />
At Grŵp Llandrillo Menai, you can<br />
study for a degree right here on your<br />
doorstep, without having to move away<br />
to university. Most courses are delivered<br />
at the University Centre in Rhos-on-Sea,<br />
with some programmes available locally<br />
at our Bangor, Dolgellau, Llangefni and<br />
Rhyl campuses.<br />
CONVENIENT<br />
AND FLEXIBLE<br />
Our timetables are designed to make<br />
it easier for you to fit your studies<br />
around your work, family and other<br />
commitments. Our full and part-time<br />
courses are timetabled over one or<br />
two days per week with some of our<br />
provision delivered in the evenings.<br />
AFFORDABLE<br />
AND ACCESSIBLE<br />
If you live at home, you could save<br />
thousands of pounds as you won't have<br />
to pay the additional accommodation<br />
costs incurred by students who move<br />
away to study. Additional bursaries may<br />
be available, depending on individual<br />
circumstances.<br />
EMPLOYMENT<br />

something new or changing careers,<br />

STUDENTS SAY<br />
COLIN JAMES-<br />
DAVIES<br />
Studied... BSc (Hons)<br />
Construction Management /<br />
Currently...Working in Estate<br />
and Asset Management<br />
“I wouldn’t be where I am today without<br />
Coleg Llandrillo’s amazing tutors<br />
...and my amazingly supportive wife.<br />
During my whole degree experience<br />
at Coleg Llandrillo I received fantastic<br />
support for my dyslexia and had a<br />
brilliant team of tutors.<br />
I benefited from small class sizes,<br />
flexible studying, very accessible<br />
tutors and access to all the resources<br />
I could ask for.”<br />
LYDIA RYAN<br />
Studied...Policing<br />
“The course was interactive, fun,<br />
extremely motivational, whilst at<br />
times challenging.<br />
A benefit of the course was that I was<br />
able to become a Special Constable<br />
alongside my classmates with North<br />
Wales Police.<br />
I can’t recommend the Policing<br />
course enough and I will be forever<br />
grateful for the experience it has<br />
given me, as I never would have<br />
become a Special Constable or Police<br />
Constable without having enrolled on<br />
the course.”

eventually focus more within the design<br />
engineering field.<br />
