Sarah Gaffney, Wrexham Glyndwr University’s widening access co-ordinator, said: “The course is a perfect preparation platform for level 2/3 students who have applied or are applying to university, and also for those in, or seeking, employment who are in two minds or not sure whether university is for them or not.”
