Cost of Living

Supporting you through the Cost of Living

The cost of living has increased for everyone – managing our finances and finding the right balance is getting harder. We’re working to find ways to support you alongside the existing support we already have in place. You’ll find links to support, wellbeing, funding and more here.

We've created this page to bring together the financial and wellbeing support that is currently available both online and on campus at Wrexham.

*This page will be continually updated as more information, support and advice is provided.

Support for Welsh Students

The Welsh Government has introduced a support package to address the increasing living costs faced by students during university, which allows them to focus on their studies rather than worry about how to make ends meet.

Looking after your wellbeing

Life at University can be exciting, however during these difficult times, anyone at any time can feel overwhelmed with problems and experience difficulties with their mental health. Sometimes it can feel easier to talk to an impartial person.

University costs for parents

Whilst parents won’t necessarily want to foot the bill for their child’s university education, many will no doubt be worried about the potential amount of debt that comes with it. So, to help you prepare, we’ve put together a list of the things to expect when it comes to fees & funding.

Wrexham Careers and Employability Service provides expertise, resources and opportunities for potential students, current students, and graduates, accessible 24/7 through WGUconnect. This includes the Student Ambassador scheme.
