Aberystwyth University - Penglais Campus

History & Background

Aberystwyth University was founded in 1872 as University College Wales, Aberystwyth, and changed its name to University College of Wales, Aberystwyth in 1894 after becoming a founding member of the University of Wales. The institution changed its name again in the mid-1990s, becoming the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. The Institution of Wales ceased to be a federal university on September 1, 2007, and Aberystwyth University regained its independence. It appointed a new vice-chancellor in 2011, who restructured the academic departments into broader subject-themed institutes.
