The University of Wales, which was founded by Royal Charter in 1893, is a large and distinctive federal university comprising nine member institutions, whose activities it exists to support and which are closely involved in its governance.
The university is the degree-awarding authority for its member institutions and also for around 70 other higher education institutions both within the UK and overseas, with which it also enjoys close links. Annually, it awards almost 15,000 initial degrees and more than 4,000 higher degrees, making it the second largest degree awarding body in the UK. Almost the full range of subjects is covered in its diverse range of institutions. Together, the member institutions of the University of Wales and its validated schemes of study result in a thriving population of nearly 90,000 from all over the world.
