This prospectus contains information on the Higher Education courses offered by three successful colleges in North Wales Coleg Llandrillo, Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor and Coleg Menai which together form Grp Llandrillo Menai, one of the largest groups of colleges in the UK.

We offer an extensive range of university level qualifications, including Foundation and Honours Degrees validated by major Welsh and English universities. We work in partnership with a number of universities in Wales, including: Bangor University, Glyndr University, the University of South Wales and Aberystwyth University; and in England, the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan). Many are vocational qualifications developed in consultation with employers, to equip you with the skills and knowledge that employers require and to make progression into employment easier.

Experienced tutors, small classes, partnerships with major employers and industry-standard vocational facilities provide students with excellent learning experiences.

As a result of a Strategic Partnership with Bangor University, a new University Centre has recently opened at the Rhos-on-Sea Campus, providing bespoke, contemporary facilities for our Higher Education students.

If you are already in employment but looking to change career or gain promotion, then look no further as our full-time and part-time course timetables are work and family-friendly. This will make it easier for you to combine studying with your other commitments.

Various financial assistance schemes can significantly reduce the fees payable for both full-time and part-time degrees.

If you already live in North Wales, you may save thousands of pounds by studying with us, as research has shown that a student who studies locally saves, on average, 17,500 compared to someone who goes away to university.

Whatever course you choose, you can be sure of excellent tuition and personal attention.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Grwp Llandrillo Menai was created from the merger of three Colleges: Coleg Llandrillo, Coleg Meirion-

Dwyfor and Coleg Menai. The Grwp consists of thirteen main campuses, which provide a wide

range of Further and Higher Education courses to students across North Wales and beyond.

Campus Locations

Coleg Llandrillo

Coleg Llandrillo has five campuses across Conwy and Denbighshire. Higher Education opportunities are currently available at two of these campuses:

Rhos-on-Sea Campus Coleg Llandrillos largest campus offers a full range of courses from entry level to postgraduate, with over 9,000 Further Education students studying at the campus each year. The majority of Coleg Llandrillos Higher Education provision, comprising almost 1,000 students, is based in Rhos-on-Sea.

Other facilities for students include: hair & beauty salons, a variety of restaurants and cafs, a travel office, sports centre, gym and an ultramodern 3G pitch.

Bay Learning Centre, Colwyn Bay The Bay Learning Centre is a small community-based centre with a range of courses for those returning to education.

A custom-built Deaf Studies suite provides dedicated facilities in which to learn Sign Language and related courses. The BA (Hons) and the Foundation Degree (FdA) British Sign Language & Deaf Studies are both based here.

University Centre, Coleg Llandrillo

In September 2014, a new 4.5 million pound University Centre, Coleg Llandrillo (UCCL) opened at the Rhos-on-Sea Campus.

The Centre is equipped with state-of-the-art lecture theatres and seminar rooms, as well as specialist library resources, IT facilities and study areas.

The UCCL has been developed as part of a strategic partnership with Bangor University and provides outstanding additional teaching and learning facilities for the Grps Higher Education students.

5www.gllm.ac.uk

Coleg Menai has five main campuses across Anglesey and Gwynedd.

Higher Education opportunities are currently available at three of these campuses.

Bangor Campus An extensive range of courses is available at the Bangor Campus, which boasts a convenient location in Upper Bangor, close to excellent amenities and transport routes.

Facilities and services include: the canteen, the shop, Costa Coffee cafe, the e-zone, library and resources centre, transport, learner services, the sports hall, Friars restaurant and the hair and beauty training salon.

The majority of Coleg Menais Higher Education provision is based at the Bangor Campus.

Llangefni Campus The main Llangefni campus, Pencraig, is set in a beautiful rural location on the outskirts of the town which is well serviced by public transport. There is a smaller campus, Penrallt, one mile away, which specialises in work-based training.

The Pencraig campus has a modern feel and continues to benefit from huge investment in new facilities such as the Care Studies Centre, Construction Skills Centre, the Energy Centre and the Heavy Plant Training Centre.

The well-equipped Media Centre has the latest industry standard equipment and has strong links with the media industry, including Cwmni Da, one of Wales leading and well-respected production companies.

Facilities include: the canteen, the shop, Costa Coffee cafe, library and resources centre, learner services, transport, the Construction Skills Centre, the Media Centre, Energy Centre and Heavy Plant Training Centre.

Parc Menai Campus The Coleg Menai Campus on Parc Menai benefits from being set in a beautiful country park with convenient public transport and excellent facilities.

The Campus is home to the Colleges long-established art and design centre which is renowned throughout Wales for its high quality teaching, delivered by talented practising artists. The annual art exhibition is a highlight of the year.

Coleg Menai Coleg Meirion-DwyforColeg Meirion-Dwyfor has three campuses located across Gwynedd. Higher Education opportunities are currently available at two of the campuses.

Dolgellau The Dolgellau Campus has a range of facilities for students, including a restaurant & canteen, a College shop, and the opportunity to join one of the Colleges sports teams. Alongside a dedicated Sixth form, the Campus offers Teacher Training qualifications and degrees in areas such as Health & Care and Computing.

Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor have recently invested over 4.5 million to develop CaMDA (a Centre for skills in Renewable Engineering and Construction) at the Marian campus in the town centre, and to further improve the resources for students on the main campus.

Glynllifon The Glynllifon Campus has a wide range of facilities appropriate to the land-based courses it offers. In addition, a 7.4 million teaching Block provides contemporary facilities for classroom-based learning.

The Glynllifon Campus offers a Foundation Degree (FdA) in Agriculture, in partnership with Coleg Cambria and Aberystwyth University.

Honours Degrees An Honours Degree has 360 Higher Education credits. In some subjects, the Honours Degree is studied full-time over three years. In others, a Foundation Degree is studied first and this can then be topped up to an Honours Degree with one or two years further study.

Foundation Degrees As a general guide, a Foundation Degree has 240 Higher Education credits. Most Foundation Degrees require a student either to be working or to have a substantial work experience placement. Unlike some undergraduate programmes, theyre not just about theory. They provide you with the knowledge and skills that employers need, by combining theory with its application to the workplace. This will help you to enhance your employment opportunities and to prepare for more responsibility or promotion. In addition to the subject-specific modules, each student will usually complete Research modules and Employability-based modules. These will encourage independent thinking, develop your skills in academic writing, research and giving presentations, and train you to analyse and evaluate your progress and performance. All of our Foundation Degrees have been developed with clear progression routes onto Honours Degrees at Grp Llandrillo Menai or at one of our partner institutions. Please check the website www.gllm.ac.uk for more information.

Higher Nationals (HNC/HND) A Higher National Certificate (HNC) is a work-related university level qualification normally studied part-time for two years or full-time for a year. On completion, you could progress onto a HND or Foundation degree.

A Higher National Diploma (HND) is a university level qualification that takes two years full-time or three years part-time to complete. Successful completion may allow you to be accepted onto the third year of a degree course.

We offer Higher Nationals, Foundation Degrees and Honours Degrees in a range of subjects. Specific information about whats available in each subject area is explained later.

Which degree course is right for you?

Whichever degree you choose, you will usually only have to attend college for a maximum of two days a week, so you can complete your studies and coursework at times convenient to you.

Why choose us?

If you live at home, you could save thousands of pounds as you wont have to pay the additional accommodation costs incurred by students who live away from home.

Like many of our students, you may be able to combine your studies with paid employment.

Youll make new friends, as you will mix with like-minded degree students of all ages.

Class sizes are small, usually less than 30, so your tutors will have more time to dedicate to you.

Lectures and workshops are interactive, enabling you to participate and build up your confidence.

Our online resources can be accessed remotely so you can work offsite on the days when youre not in College.

Our degrees enhance your employment opportunities and prepare you for more responsibility or promotion at work.

All of our Foundation Degrees offer progression opportunities to Honours level of study, either here or at another university.

We have an extensive and varied range of facilities across our campuses which are open to the general public and for students to use when they are not in classes.

The cost of living in North Wales is lower than in most cities.

I studied the Foundation Degree whilst also working as an Art Therapist and Im also an active artist. My life is hectic and I like to keep really busy, so doing this Foundation Degree really suited me. Im currently at Coleg Menai studying the BA (Hons) Fine Art course.

Nia Lloyd Roberts Foundation Degree in Art & Design Coleg Menai

I had always wanted to go back to study but was afraid to as I had always struggled with reading due to undiagnosed dyslexia. Coleg Menai supported me with my dyslexia with some fantastic learner support which made it possible for me to achieve my Foundation Degree. The flexibility of this course also meant I could juggle with being a carer for my mum too. Ive now progressed on to the BA (Hons) Fine Art course at Coleg Menai.

Sue Williams Foundation Degree in Art & Design Coleg Menai

I first came to Coleg Menai to study a Level 2 Electrical course and progressed on to an Apprenticeship. In 2013, I was awarded the Electrical Engineering Apprentice of the Year and in the same year won the ECA Adult Trainee of the Year, a UK-wide award. I recently graduated with a HNC in Electrical and Electronic Technology. The HNC gave me a whole range of new skills. It also enabled me to understand the technical side of the job and also work more closely with clients and have a better understanding of their business needs.

What our students say

10 www.gllm.ac.uk

I was looking to improve my prospects and opportunities and decided to enrol on this course. I loved Coleg Llandrillo, it was a brilliant experience and the small class sizes make the course so personal. My personal tutor was always really supportive and made time to help me with my studies.

Im now studying my Masters at Chester University.

Tiffany Kite BA (Hons) Management & Business Coleg Llandrillo

I wanted to increase my skills in cookery and this course seemed like the ideal springboard for further Higher Education study. I have a family with 3 children of my own so balancing my work and study with my family life can be tricky, but being able to study so close to home and at times convenient to me has made it possible. I would highly recommend the College to anyone in my position.

Jeffery Gill BA (Hons) Culinary Arts Coleg Llandrillo

The new university centre offers an ideallearning environment with modern lecture rooms plus its own library and IT facilities. Grp Llandrillo Menai is a great place to study, whether you have just finished your A Levels, taken a gap year, worked for a few years and want to improve your job prospects, or, like me, finished your education a long time ago but want to get a degree.

Did you know?Most people think of a full-time course as one where you have to attend classes for four or five days per week.

At Grp Llandrillo Menai, most of our full-time courses are delivered over one or two days a week in a variety of patterns. This helps you fit your work and family around your studies.

If you study full-time for a degree, you wont pay a penny upfront. Provided you are eligible for a loan, youll only start paying the fees once you have completed your degree and you are earning over 21,000 per annum.
