An exclusive opportunity
to see the elite Colliers Park football training facility is among the
experiences on offer at Wrexham Glyndwr University’s next open day.
The event takes place
on Saturday, August 17 and transport will be available from Glyndwr’s main
Plas Coch campus in Wrexham to take interested students on the
behind-the-scenes tour.
During the tour, sports
academics at the university will be on hand to show visitors around the newly-redeveloped site, which is operated by the
Football Association of Wales (FAW), in partnership with Wrexham Glyndwr
University.
The tour will be held at 11.30am (with transport leaving Plas Coch at
11.15am.) It will also feature a session looking at body composition and an
overview of the sports programmes on offer at Wrexham Glyndwr University.
The new
facilities at Colliers Park are among the latest upgrades students at Glyndwr
can expect to see, with series of recently-opened social learning spaces and
upgraded teaching rooms and lecture theatres on show which have been completed
under the university’s ongoing Campus 2025 estates renewal strategy.
In one of the recently
opened spaces, The Gallery, prospective students and their family will get the
chance to chat with Glyndwr’s Vice Chancellor Maria Hinfelaar face-to-face over
coffee. The session, at 10.30am, is designed to offer the chance to ask questions
about the university, its courses and what it’s like to study at Glyndwr in an
informal manner.
There are also a host of
other, subject-specific talks, demonstrations and activities on hand throughout
the day.
Wrexham Glyndŵr
University Admissions Manager, Andy Phillips, said: “We’ve got lots of
activities and talks taking place this open day, including ‘Criminology: Your
Route into Public Services,’ ‘Psychology Café – the Psychology of Love Island,’
‘Stop & Search Knife Crime,’ an interactive physiotherapy session - and
much more.
“There’s also the chance
to get your hands of some of the amazing high-tech equipment our academics and
students use in a PlaySpace arena – with an opportunity to explore everything
from Virtual Reality headsets to 3D printing, ethical hacking and the internet
of things. ”
The August open day is
designed to give prospective 2019 entry students a taste of what it's like to
study at Glyndwr, to let them learn more about the wide variety of degree
programmes available and to show them what each of Glyndwr’s campuses has to
offer - as well as being giving them the chance to meet with course staff
and current students.
The university has a wide
range of courses available at foundation, undergraduate and post graduate level,
many of which can also be studied part-time. More than half of current Wrexham
Glyndwr students study part-time and includes a wide-variety of age groups.
A number of the
university’s supporting services will also be on hand on the day to speak to
prospective students, including the award-winning careers team - whose work
supporting students has been recognised with a national accolade from AGCAS
(the Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Service.)
There is also the
opportunity to speak to the admissions team about course entry requirements and
the application process, and the student funding and money advice team for
information on funding and fees.
The open day runs from
10am – 2pm with last entry at 1pm. You can drop in throughout the day but don’t
forget to check the list of talks and events so you don’t miss something that’s
important to you.
