About the University of Glamorgan
At Glamorgan, we’re proud of our reputation for first class teaching, applied research, excellent facilities and outstanding academic support. We teach a wide range of courses and subjects, with 12 teaching areas rated ‘Excellent’ in independent assessments. The Guardian named us the best new university in Wales for the third year running, and we were nominated for University of the Year 2007 by the influential Times Higher Education.
As part of our commitment to excellence, we are undergoing a multimillion-pound investment programme, including ATRiuM, our landmark campus at the heart of Cardiff city centre. Renowned for its friendly community and supportive atmosphere this modern University continues to grow and attracts more than 21,000 students.
