"Congratulations to all students collecting their results today.

"Students can be proud of their hard work over what has been a challenging couple of years and can now look forward to the next step on their journey, which, for many, will include studying at university.

"It’s great to see that so many young people in Wales continue to value the benefits of university, and we're delighted that students continue to recognise the distinct offer and unique opportunities that universities in Wales offer.

"For those who did not get the results they had hoped, or are still undecided, there are many options in Wales available to students through clearing. Universities throughout Wales are providing places through clearing and have advisors waiting to advise students on the options available to them.

"Our students are an important and valued part of our communities across Wales, and those joining us in the autumn can look forward to a warm welcome, high quality, rewarding courses and an excellent student experience."
