The University of Wales is a higher education institution based in Cardiff, Wales, with origins dating to its Royal Charter in 1893. It has supported language, heritage, and culture in Wales through initiatives such as the Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies, the Welsh Dictionary, Gregynog Hall, and the University of Wales Press. The university serves students across multiple campuses and provides facilities and services on local, regional, national, and international scales. In October 2011, the university joined with Swansea Metropolitan University and University of Wales Trinity Saint David to merge under the 1828 Charter, with full integration expected by 2017. This history underscores its central role in Welsh higher education and in sustaining the language and cultural heritage through collaborative efforts, including bilingual correspondence in Welsh or English.
