Widening Participation at Glyndŵr University

Glyndŵr University is committed to ensuring that everyone who has the potential to achieve in higher education is given the chance to do so, irrespective of age, gender, disability, sexuality, race or social background.

This is reflected in the fact that the University has the highest number of students from non-traditional backgrounds and those claiming Disabled Student Allowance in Wales. (HESA performance indicators June 2008)

Not only do we encourage applications from school leavers, we also ensure that support is in place for students from all walks of life, including those currently underrepresented in higher education, such as:

Care leavers
People from low income backgrounds
People from families where no-one has experienced higher education
Those with disabilities
Ethnic minority groups

See also information about the Reaching Higher, Reaching Wider initiative.
