    Wrexham Glyndŵr University

    ★★★★☆ 4
    Open

    “I gained a 2:1 in Electrical and Electronic Engineering here. Good course with great tutors. Like everything in life, the more you put in the more you get out. I got involved with the Guild of Students (students union), which put me in contact with students from across the whole university. In my final year I had a serious illness and was given a leave of absence and allowed to repeat the year at no extra cost. Support and assistance was always available and if you didn't know from where you could just drop into the Guild's offices and ask. At the start of the course you are told to read the regulations and assessment criteria for your programme, many students don't and that's why they are taken by surprise by some rules. Most assessments have two opportunities to pass but sometimes they don't or the student runs out of time. That is the regulations state that the course must be completed including all assessments within so many years of enrollment, normally it's twice as long as the course, so a three year degree must be completed within six years. I sat on the Appeals committee as a student representative, it's surprising how many students run out the clock. One took six years on their first year and was asking for an extension of another six years, hoping to complete level 4 the following year. Unfortunately, the maximum time limit is a regulation set in stone and although we could allow them time to complete the course the fees would apply for every year, a degree could not be awarded if they passed.”

    Gwersyllt Resource Centre

    ★★★★☆ 4.5
    Open

    “I often go to Gwersyllt community center with my daughter. Everyone who works at this center is really kind. When school is closed, we can participate in some events such as craft events and yoga events for family. There is also a small library here, and my daughter especially loves it. If we tell the lovely librarian what book we are looking for, they will find and keep it for us. We can also take some great therapy to help you relax in this centre. It's a truly wonderful centre.”
