UCU Wales launches its vision for a new post-92 university in South East Wales

The document outlines the collective vision of UCU Wales and UCU Wales branches representing academic staff at Cardiff Metropolitan University, the University of Glamorgan and the University of Wales, Newport on the proposed new metropolitan university in South East Wales.
 
UCU Wales' support for such a single institution in South East Wales is on the basis that a genuinely 'new' university be established, with the coming together of Cardiff Metropolitan University, the University of Glamorgan and the University of Wales, Newport. UCU Wales further envisages that such a new university would incorporate and enhance the existing strengths and specialisms of the three existing institutions.
 
Bethan Thomas, UCU Wales Support Official said: 'UCU Wales believes that the establishment of a single Higher Education Institution in South East Wales provides an ideal opportunity to create a university that delivers high quality education, applied research and career and professional development whilst also contributing to the wider social, economic and cultural policy agenda of the Welsh Government.
