On Wednesday, Year 12 enjoyed an inspiring visit to Wrexham University, where they experienced university life first-hand through a guided campus tour and a range of engaging subject taster sessions.

Students explored the university's excellent facilities before taking part in interactive sessions in Nursing, Business and Marketing, Law, Criminology and Primary Education. The visit showcased Wrexham University's innovative approach to teaching, with students experiencing the practical, immersive learning opportunities available across a range of courses. Highlights included investigating realistic crime scenes, exploring interview and interrogation suites used by Law and Criminology students, and wearing specialist simulation goggles to experience the effects of alcohol and drugs on perception, coordination and decision-making. These hands-on activities gave students a genuine insight into how theory is applied in professional settings.

The visit provided an excellent opportunity for students to ask questions, explore different subject areas and gain a better understanding of university life. Experiencing the facilities and speaking with university staff helped Year 12 to make more informed decisions about their future education, training and career pathways.

We would like to thank Wrexham University for delivering such an engaging and memorable experience that has inspired our students to think positively about their next steps; and Mrs Lyons for arranging.
