Before you arrive
Congratulations on confirming your place at Wrexham University.
The time is almost here for you to join us, and we cannot wait to welcome you. Use this checklist to arrange everything you need before arriving on campus and beginning your studies.
Enrol online
Before starting your course, you must officially enrol as a Wrexham University student.
Enrolment invitations are sent in batches from early September to the email address provided on your application. Enrol as soon as you receive yours and complete online enrolment before arriving on campus.
Haven’t received your invitation? Check your inbox and junk or spam folders. If it has still not arrived, email studentadministration@wrexham.ac.uk .
Arrange your funding
The fees you pay and the financial support available to you will depend on your course and individual circumstances. Make sure your funding is arranged before your course begins. Without financial support in place, you will become liable for payment of your tuition fees.
Visit our fees and funding pages to explore the available options.
Undergraduate Student Finance
Undergraduate students should complete their funding application through Student Finance Wales, England, Scotland or Ireland, as applicable.
Before Student Finance can issue a payment:
- Your funding application must be completed and approved.
- Any Declaration Form issued to you must have been completed and returned.
- You must have completed enrolment at Wrexham University.
After enrolment, payment can take up to five working days for a full-time undergraduate student or up to 14 days for a part-time undergraduate student.
NHS funding
If you are studying an eligible Nursing or Allied Health Profession course and have received a HEIW-funded place, you may be eligible for support through the NHS Wales Bursary Scheme.
If you are funded through the NHS Wales Bursary Scheme, have a place on a HEIW-commissioned pre-registration healthcare professional programme and have opted into the scheme, your full tuition fee will be paid as part of the bursary package.
Funding support
The Funding and Money Advice Team can help if you are struggling with a funding application, have not started the process or want to discuss additional financial support.
Current students can sign in using their University login details. Applicants can register as a University applicant and complete the enquiry form.
If you experience difficulties using the service, email funding@wrexham.ac.uk .
Student bank accounts
You may wish to open a student bank account to receive funding payments and manage your expenditure. Compare the available accounts carefully, including any charges, restrictions or conditions attached to introductory offers.

Check your student email
University correspondence will be sent to your student email address. Check it regularly. You are recommended to forward it to a personal email address that you check regularly.
