University of Wales Registry
University headquarters in Wales
The University of Wales Registry (Welsh: Cofrestrfa Prifysgol Cymru) is the administrative headquarters of the University of Wales, located in Cathays Park, Cardiff, Wales.[1]
The University of Wales was a confederal University founded in 1893. It functioned as the degree-awarding authority for its member institutions and existed to support their academic activities. Following a series of controversies, it was decided in 2011 to merge the University with the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.[2] As of August 2017, the two universities were fully integrated but the merger had not been legally finalised.[3]
The Registry is located on King Edward VII Avenue in Cathays Park, Cardiff's Civic Centre. It became a Grade II listed building on 25 January 1966.[2][4]
