Aberystwyth University was founded in 1872 in the Welsh seaside town after which it is named. On the west coast of Wales between Cardigan Bay and the Cambrian Mountains, students will become part of a historic, vibrant, friendly and outward-looking community. As the first university in Wales, Aberystwyth’s reputation for research power, teaching excellence, student satisfaction and our incredible location are what set it apart from other universities.
