University of Wales
About the University of Wales
Founded by Royal Charter in 1893, the University of Wales is the
degree-awarding body for the majority of higher education students
in Wales, as well as for many at other higher education institutions
in the United Kingdom and overseas.
The University’s position enables it to focus not only on its primary
functions as a degree-awarding body and provider of services to the
Welsh higher education sector but also, as a national institution, on
playing an enhanced role in protecting and promoting the economy,
culture and language of Wales.
Recently, the University has signed a memorandum of understanding
with six of the university institutions in Wales, with whom it will be
working closely on collaborative ventures, research groupings and
other new initiatives. These institutions are:
• Glyndwr University
• Swansea Metropolitan University
• University of Wales Institute, Cardiff (UWIC)
• University of Wales, Newport
• University of Wales, Lampeter
• Trinity University College
The latter two institutions are set to merge in 2010 to become
University of Wales, Trinity St David.
The University also maintains links with Aberystwyth University,
Bangor University, Cardiff University and Swansea University.
The University is also the degree-awarding authority for more than
120 other higher education institutions both within the United
Kingdom and overseas, with which it also enjoys close links. Annually,
it awards around 15,000 initial degrees and more than 4,000 higher
degrees, making it the second largest degree-awarding body in the
United Kingdom. The number of students, from all over the world,
pursuing University of Wales degrees is around 70,000, and their
studies cover a wide range of subjects.
The University is a major national institution in Wales. While it is, of
course, committed to helping to fulfil the educational and economic
needs of Wales and to supporting its linguistic, cultural, and national
heritage, the University is also committed to its international role
and to enhancing its standing across the UK and overseas. As well
as its validation role and the international projects undertaken by
its Global Academy, the University sponsors a number of cultural
initiatives, such as the prestigious Dylan Thomas Prize, for young
writers, which attracts entries from all over the world.
