Established in 1872, as the first University College in Wales, Aberystwyth University is one of the UK’s most important institutions. Our reputation for research power, teaching excellence, graduate employability and our unbelievable location are what set us apart from other universities.  

Aberystwyth is a vibrant and welcoming university town in a stunning location on the west coast of the UK. It is both at the heart of Wales and home to a rich variety of cultures, people and entertainment. It is home to the impressive National Library of Wales: one of few places to contain a copy of every book ever printed in the UK.  

For international students, we offer generous Scholarships covering the cost of your accommodation, as well as free gym membership, visa and immigration advice, careers support and transport to Aberystwyth upon arrival to the UK.
