Having graduated last year, it was disheartening to have to put up with a cramped, temporary union in my final year on campus while the shiny, new building was being constructed; sitting antogonisingly smug in it's near-built state on my graduation day. Which is why the moment a mate who was still at the university invited me for a catch up and a drink at the new union, I had to fight hard not bite his hand off. Still, after managing to resist that urge, I had my chance to peruse around the new facility and, credit where it's due, the people at Glamorgan Uni have done a superb job of giving the Union an overhaul. While I didn't get a chance to see the large upstairs area, a did get chance to sample the two rooms on the downstairs. With a bar area that could be a stand alone bar in it's own right, and a club section that is a massive step up from what was on offer during my tenure, the new Union is a vast improvement on its predecessor in every way. Even the toilets look like they could be part of a high end restaurant. The cool white interior gives it a fresh, bright look that was decidedly lacking in previous incarnations and the general décor of both the bar and the club section is very well executed. A superb venue, that is everything a student could need. Well done Glam Uni...it's just a shame it wasn't ready a year earlier!

The Cardiff School of Engineering has strong links with industry and its graduates seem to be in…read morehigh demand. It has a reputation for delivering high quality and up-to-date teaching and research, and was ranked among the top ten combined engineering schools in the UK in the Research Assessment Exercise 2008 (an independent, in-depth exercise which analyses the quality of research across UK universities). It's not in the most central of buildings in terms of the university campus, but it's not far away either - and it's extremely close to the pedestrianised Queen Street end of the city centre shopping area. For undergraduates, it offers degree schemes in Architectural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Computer Systems Engineering, Electrical and Electronic, Electronic and Communications, Integrated Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Medical Engineering. If you don't have the right qualification to get onto the undergraduate scheme, you can take a foundation year first to get up to speed. For postgraduate students there's a range of MSc schemes available ranging from obvious courses such as the MSc in Civil Engineering to and MSc in Hydroenvironment Engineering, Geoenvironmental Engineering, Magnetics, Orthopaedic Engineering or Sustainable Energy and Environment (amongst others). The School's website is very comprehensive, offering lots of information about the school, its teaching and research, its involvement with industry, and its staff.

However, as of September, the college will no longer offer A level qualifications. The tutors are generally good, and pupils are able to learn in a laid back, relaxed environment. However, some may find this more of a hinderance than a help, as there is little motivation or dicipline on the part of the tutors, regarding the meeting of deadlines, as these are very relaxed.

This has led to the college getting a lot of negative publicity over the last couple of weeks. They do offer a lot of other courses such as BTEC National Diplomas.

Students do have a bit if a stigma about the the fact they attend Bridgend College.
