Around  Campus

Arriving at university for the first time can be overwhelming, but don't worry as there will be plenty of help during Welcome Week to help you get settled in and find your feet. You'll soon get your bearings and discover where everything you need is located both online and offline.

We've posted a few tips below to help you get to know your way around campus and beyond.

Council Tax and Student Bank Accounts 

If you require proof of confirmation of your studies, you can now print this yourself. Typically, you’ll need to provide proof of your studies for things like opening a student bank account, a student gym membership or to provide evidence to your local council for council tax exemption. Please log on to MyUni, select Student Record and login with your student details to access both the Confirmation of Student and Council Tax Exemption letters. If you have any questions about this process or are struggling to access the letters then please contact the Student Administration Team on studentadministration@wrexham.ac.uk.  

On-campus developments 

Developments are currently underway across our campuses as part of our £80 million investment into the improvement of our teaching and learning facilities.

We have some new and exciting learning spaces - The Study, The Gallery and The B Hive, based at our Wrexham campus, offering cosy booths, bespoke lighting and charging points as well as ample table space and monitors for you to hook your devices up to - ideal for solo study sessions or group work catching up over a coffee. 

When you arrive onto the Wrexham campus, you may notice that there is construction on site. This construction will form our brand-new state-of-the-art engineering building, the Enterprise Engineering Optics Centre (EEOC). 

Car parking

Wrexham Plas Coch campus

Although we’ve made every effort to maximise available spaces, the car park can fill up quickly on busy days due to current campus developments. Please be aware that parking is available to both staff and students on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please note that during the early weeks of Semester 1, the Plas Coch Campus will have additional Staff at car park entrances to help monitor the available capacity. We would  encourage you to make your way to campus via public transport if it is possible for you to do so. The campus is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from Wrexham General train station, making it an easy and efficient option for you to commute.

Regent Street campus

If you are studying at our Regent Street campus, you might consider parking at our Wrexham Plas Coch campus and taking the 10-minute walk to Regent Street. However, as mentioned above, parking is currently limited and therefore, public transport may be more suitable. Alternatively, you can choose to park in Wrexham City Centre.
