Overview
The University of Wolverhampton is a public university located on four campuses across the West Midlands, Shropshire, and Staffordshire in England. The roots of the university lie in the Wolverhampton Tradesmen’s and Mechanics’ Institute founded in 1827 and the 19th-century growth of the Wolverhampton Free Library (1870), which developed technical, scientific, commercial, and general classes. This merged in 1969 with the Municipal School of Art, originally founded in 1851, to form the Wolverhampton Polytechnic.
The city campus is located in Wolverhampton city center, with a second campus at Walsall and a third in Telford. There is an additional fourth campus in Wolverhampton at the University of Wolverhampton Science Park. The university also operates a Health Education Centre in Burton-upon-Trent for nursing students.
The university has four faculties comprising eighteen schools and institutes. It has 19,560 students and currently offers over 380 undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
