"Congratulations to all students collecting their results today.  

"This is an important day for many students. Those receiving their results should be exceptionally proud of what they have accomplished and for the determination and resilience they have shown.  

"Students 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 admissions teams waiting to advise students on the options available to them."
