Wrexham University is a public university in the north-east of Wales, with campuses in Wrexham, Northop and St Asaph. It offers both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, as well as professional courses. The university had 6,045 students in 2019/20.
The institute became a full member of the University of Wales in 2004. In 2008 it was granted full university status and renamed Glyndŵr University (Prifysgol Glyndŵr) after Owain Glyndŵr, a fifteenth-century Welsh leader who was born near Wrexham and suggested the establishment of universities in Wales.The term “Wrexham” was later added to the existing name in 2016, until the university adopted its current name in late 2023.
The University’s School of Creative Arts operates The Wall Recording Studio on its Plas Coch Campus, the former home of Calon FM Community Radio Station.
The educational charity North Wales Science, owned by the university, operated a science discovery centre on the Plas Coch campus. The centre was open to schools and the general public, and in a partnership with Techniquest in Cardiff, was branded as ‘Techniquest@NEWI’ and later ‘Techniquest Glyndŵr’, from 2003 to 2020.
