Wrexham Glyndŵr University

Wrexham Glyndŵr University

Our name comes from Welsh scholar and hero Owain Glyndŵr and we aim to champion some of the same philosophies as him. His spirit lies at the heart of Wrexham Glyndŵr University where we set out to be bold, enterprising and open to all in everything that we do.

We’ve been delivering education at our main Wrexham campus since 1887, when we were known as the Wrexham School of Science and Art. We first started offering degrees in 1924 but we've come a long way since then.

As still one of the youngest universities in the UK, our mission is to inspire and enable; transforming people and places and driving economic, social and cultural success.

Grounded in our values is our Active Learning Framework (ALF). ALF supports flexible learning that makes best use of spaces on campus together with digitally-enabled learning opportunities designed to be accessed anytime, anywhere as appropriate. Even though things may be different, and we have to re-imagine how we study and how we work - our values and our commitment to our university community, our region and beyond still stand.

We are passionate advocates for lifelong learning and believe that background and circumstance should not be a barrier to engaging with higher education. We are dedicated to accessibility, fairness and inclusivity in how we teach, research and provide our services.
