Your next chapter…
Studying for a degree can be life-changing - new knowledge, independence and exciting opportunities - but, going away to university can also have some drawbacks - accommodation costs and debt, restrictions and the thought of being lost in the crowd. But what if there was a different way?
By studying locally, you can combine the benefits of achieving your degree without the drawbacks of moving away. Grŵp Llandrillo Menai offers over 30 different degree courses across its three colleges - Coleg Llandrillo, Coleg Menai and Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor - giving you the flexibility of studying locally and saving thousands of pounds.
And for September 2024, a range of brand-new courses are available, including:
- Counselling
- Culinary Arts
- Performing for Stage and Screen
- Hospitality, Tourism and Events
- Health, Wellbeing and Social Care Leadership
Smaller class sizes mean that you’ll have personal support throughout your course from tutors and classmates.
Most of the degree courses are offered at the fully-equipped, multi-million pound University Centre in Rhos-on-Sea, with some university-level programmes also available at the Bangor, Rhyl, Llangefni and Dolgellau campuses. The majority of our Degree courses are validated and awarded by Bangor University.
Many of the courses on offer are vocational qualifications developed in consultation with employers, to equip learners with the skills and knowledge that employers require and to make progression into employment easier. Often, the full-time courses are delivered over two days per week, helping learners fit their studies around work and family commitments.
