STUDENT HUB

Transport

Here at Coleg Cambria we’re well connected, with transport available from a wide variety of destinations.

Not only that; if you are a full time or higher education student, we offer a subsidised transport provision of either travel on a designated College bus or an Arriva termly public bus passes. 

To be eligible for subsidised transport you will need to live over 3 miles from the nearest college site delivering your choice of course. If you travel by bicycle you will have access to bike racks at most sites.

Our subsidised transport cost is £90 per term for students aged 16-18 and £160 per term for those 19+. (academic year 2025/26). This helps us continue providing transport, especially in areas with limited public buses.

If you have any questions about transport, please email transport@cambria.ac.uk.

Financial Support Available*

Financial support options like EMA, Financial Contingency Fund (FCF) and the Welsh Government Learning Grant FE are available to help with these costs.
