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 />

OPPORTUNITIES<br />

Our degree–<strong>level</strong> courses are developed<br />

in consultation with regional employers<br />

to ensure you’re equipped with up to date<br />

skills that employers need. We continually<br />

of our programmes also include work<br />

experience, placements, guest speakers<br />

2021, 80% of our degree students said that our<br />

flexible timetables worked efficiently for them"

something new or changing careers,<br />

with a range of routes available.<br />

SUPPORTIVE<br />

are small, so your expert tutors will<br />

have more time to dedicate to you for<br />

individual support and guidance. Our<br />

also provide you with help with CVs<br />

and interview techniques, and offer<br />

careers advice.<br />

WHAT OUR<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 />
