大学概况University Profile

Glyndwr has enjoyed a big increase in applications in 2014, after three years of decline, which left little more than two applicants for each place. That did not prevent the Wrexham-based university from registering one of the biggest percentage increases in enrolments in the UK in 2013 – more than 30%. 

Glyndwr subsequently suffered a serious setback when its license to admit students from outside the EU was suspended over allegations that some had been recruited with fake language qualifications.

However, Glyndwr has made further progress on its international strategy even during the suspension with agreements to open an engineering campus in Malaysia and bring more Malaysian students to Wales, as well as to collaborate on research. The university already has a campus in London offering mainly business courses in partnership with the London School of Management and Science.

The former North East Wales Institute of Higher Education took the name of the 15th-century Welsh prince Owain Glyndwr (who championed the establishment of universities throughout Wales) when it was awarded university status in 2008.

The university has two campuses in Wrexham and one at Northop, in Flintshire, on the site of the former Welsh College of Horticulture. The Flintshire campus is the first university presence in the county, and £1.7m has been invested to make it a centre of excellence for land- and animal-based studies.

Glyndwr has 8,800 students, but fewer than half are full-time undergraduates. Over half are 21 or more on entry. The two campuses in Wrexham are within five minutes’ walk of each other. The university’s art school is based at the Regent Street campus, nearer the town centre than the larger Plas Coch site.

In 2011, Glyndwr became the only university to own an international football stadium – the oldest in the world – when it bought the Racecourse Ground to safeguard the future of Wrexham FC and provide more facilities for its students. The new Glyndwˆr Wrexham Football Academy, a partnership between the university and the club, allows professional footballers to take degrees without interrupting their careers – the only initiative of its kind in the UK. 

The university already had a partnership with the club, whose land, next door to the university’s Plas Coch campus, hosts the 200-bed student village. Part of the Plas Coch Hostel was transformed in 2013 into a library featuring more than 13,000 books collected by a New York scholar.

The campus also contains a modern sports centre with two floodlit artificial pitches, including an international standard hockey pitch, a human performance laboratory and indoor facilities that include a sports hall with a 1,000 square-metre sprung floor.

The university has embarked on a series of academic developments, including two-year fast track degrees and the four-year MEng. The £2m Centre for the Child, Family and Society, based on a Scandinavian concept, allows those working in the field of child development to hone their skills in both an academic and practical manner.

The Advanced Composite Training and Development Centre, at Broughton, is a partnership with Airbus, which has a large plant nearby. Research carried out there will help to improve the efficiency of aircraft and feed into the university’s undergraduate engineering courses, which are also developed in association with Airbus.

The Centre for the Creative Industries has up-to-date TV, radio and online production studios, which are the regional home of BBC Cymru Wales as well as playing a key role in the university’s television degree. At St Asaph, the university has a centre for the research and development of cutting-edge optoelectronics technology and the headquarters of its commercial arm, Glyndwr Innovations, which was named among the top businesses in Wales for growth.

The university entered only 27 academics for the last Research Assessment Exercise, but almost a quarter of their work was judged to be world-leading or internationally excellent.

Nearly all the undergraduates are state-educated, 46% of them coming from working-class homes – far more than average for the university’s subjects and entry grades. Only one university in the UK takes a higher proportion of students from areas of low participation in higher education, the proportion of Glyndwr’s admissions from students with these areas (27.6%) running at around twice the expected rate.

Glyndwr also has the largest proportion of disabled students in Wales and was nominated for an award for its provision for them. There is a dedicated centre for students with disabilities that assesses students’ needs before they embark on a course.

Two-thirds of the students are local, many living at home, which inevitably affects the social scene but eases the pressure on residential accommodation. Wrexham is not without nightlife, and there has been a £90,000 upgrade of the students’ union, where the Centenary Club has become a popular venue. Both Manchester and Liverpool are within easy reach for those of a more hedonistic disposition.

First impressions

In Wrexham, everything is on your doorstep and the guild works tirelessly to get everyone involved. 

Worst feature

Missing branded food and your parents’ alcohol cupboard.

Making a difference

University sport welcomes everybody; a recent student who never held a ball before became player of the season.

Deal clincher

At Glyndwr you’re not just number, you’re a person.
