Glyndwr University has campuses across North East Wales and London. The main campus is based in Wrexham and courses are tailored to be relevant to industry and professional applications. The University works closely with nearly 1500 partners in business and education to ensure our graduates get the skills they need to gain employment. For example, the Advanced Composite Training and Development Centre, is a result a groundbreaking partnership between the University, Airbus, Deeside College and the Welsh Government. The University is involved in many research projects from small scale, such as helping local businesses in solving issues, to very large scale, such as helping develop advanced optical technologies for the world’s largest astronomical telescope, to be built at the European Southern Observatory. The emphasis is always on problem- solving and using our latest ideas and state-of-the-art technical know-how, some of which was recognised as “world leading” in the last Research Assessment Exercise.
