It's Now Aberystwyth University!
The University of Wales, Aberystwyth (Welsh: Prifysgol Cymru, Aberystwyth; sometimes known as "UWA", "Aber" or "the College by the Sea")[2] is a university located in Aberystwyth, Wales. Aberystwyth was a founding Member Institution of the former federal University of Wales and was one of the first university institutions to be established in Wales. As of late 2006, the University has over 12,000 students spread across seventeen academic departments.
On 1 September 2007, The University of Wales ceased to be a federal university and Aberystwyth became an independent university in its own right. However, it will continue to award University of Wales degrees for the foreseeable future. Its new name (Aberystwyth University) and a new corporate identity will be formally launched on 1 October 2007 [3].
The quality of teaching was recently confirmed in the National Student Survey. The comprehensive survey named Aberystwyth fifth in the UK in 2006 and tenth in 2007, for overall student satisfaction. This made Aberystwyth University the clear leader in Wales for both years[4][5][6]. Indeed, The Times Good University Guide 2008 ranked the University of Wales, Aberystwyth joint first in the UK for student satisfaction. It also ranked Aberystwyth 39th in the Academic leauge tables.[7]
