We know that Britain is traditionally popular with foreign students. But Glyndŵr University offers foreign students not only the opportunity to study abroad but a real cosmopolitan atmosphere as well. Studying here means good-quality teaching, challenging but interesting and flexible programme, industry relevant skills and cross-cultural environment providing you with future international contacts. Staying here means excellent facilities, many friends from all over the world, unforgettable visits to many beautiful places in North Wales and England.
Educational standards vary around the world. Thus studying at Glyndŵr University has given us a chance to compare educational facilities and possibilities in Russia and in Wales. Among the differences is a wider range of accessible facilities and more modern accommodation providing the internet exit that is very helpful but not typical for hostels in Russian Universities. The spacious and homely single rooms in Snowdon Hall have everything that you need, including up-to-date facilities in the bathroom and kitchen. Russian students appreciated (found very useful) the latest equipment in automotive and electronics laboratories, an aircraft hanger and library located on University’s Wrexham campus.
