About Aberystwyth
Aberystwyth University, situated on the West Coast of Wales, was a founding member of the former University of Wales. The Penglais Campus is near the town center and seafront, while the Llanbadarn campus hosts the equine teaching center. The Gogerddan campus houses the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences, focusing on global challenges such as climate change. With a £45 million investment, Aberystwyth is redeveloping its campus, including new accommodation, teaching spaces, and an arts centre.
