Glyndŵr University has a 120 year history of delivering higher education in north Wales. The university traces its roots to 1887 when the Wrexham School of Science and Arts was formed from miners' 'Whisky Money', a tax on beer and spirits. In July 2008, the North East Wales Institute of Higher Education (NEWI) was awarded university status, and Glyndŵr University was inaugurated.
More than 240 courses are on offer. For a full list visit the website. Programmes are modular, allowing students to study topics from other subject areas of interest. Students can choose to study a second language, or learn skills and gain experience with the Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (CfEL).
The university has eight research centres, including the Centre for Applied Internet Research and the Materials Science Research Centre. Research in Computer Science and Informatics and Metallurgy and Materials was deemed to be 'world leading' in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE2008).
Glyndŵr University's Centre for Solar Energy Research is one of the UK's leading centres for photovoltaics research. The university awards Masters and PhDs of the University of Wales.
