The University works closely with regional Further Education and has a strategic relationship with both Grŵp Llandrillo Menai (GLlM) and Coleg Cambria.
These relationships provide different pathways into higher education across the region for those preferring alternatives to the University led provision. The longstanding relationship with GLlM provides access to in excess of 40 higher education programmes spanning Foundation to postgraduate degrees, covering a very wide range of subjects from programmes in public service such as Health, Policing and Education through to various business pathways and many others. The more recent strategic relationship with Coleg Cambria brings increased access to Higher Education in North East Wales as the portfolio of Higher Education programmes grows in that region.
By working together we are building familiarity with Higher Education and actively developing joint activities to help students see the potential next steps as they move through the educational levels and ultimately into careers in the region. Our collaborations also ensure alignment on the pathways and in some cases can provide opportunities for students to start their study in Further Education and then move to the University to complete their programmes.
