Founded in 1872 Aberystwyth is one of the oldest University’s in Wales. We are proud of our rich heritage and long history of academic excellence. With learning environments that harness the latest multimedia technology, set within an area of outstanding natural beauty, we offer an exceptional environment to live and learn in. Aberystwyth University was named University of the Year for Teaching Quality in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2018, which was the first time a university in Wales had been awarded the prestigious accolade.
With first class facilities, the University is an ideal venue for conferences and events. We offer all year round accommodation, award winning catering services and outstanding sports facilities. Our brand new residence, Fferm Penglais, has been awarded a 5* Visit Wales Campus Accommodation grading (the First in Wales). We are also unique in having our very own Arts Centre at the centre of our campus, with a wide ranging artistic programme, recognised as a ‘national flagship for the arts’.
