Based in a historic seaside market town with a rich cosmopolitan Welsh culture, once here you will never want to leave. The university has a diverse community and offers an inclusive environment that welcomes students from a broad range of educational backgrounds. It is big enough that it offers a breadth of courses that make an impact on the international stage, but small enough that each one of their students is known. You won’t just be a faceless number here; you will have the chance to get to know your lecturers and in return they will get to know you. This unique offering has meant that students at Aberystwyth are among some of the most satisfied in the UK.
Students at Aberystwyth are part of a campus university with an active Students’ Union, with more than 100 clubs and societies. The university has its own sports centre with a swimming pool, gym, climbing wall, well-being and fitness classes. The onsite arts centre is of national significance, hosting live performances, exhibitions, courses, cafés and a boutique cinema.
Aberystwyth University delights in its unique location; the National Library of Wales is just a stone’s throw from campus. Set between the stunning coast of Cardigan Bay and the rugged Cambrian Mountains, Aberystwyth is an exceptional place.
