University of Wales
The University of Wales is a federal University founded in 1893. It was composed of colleges until 1996, when the University was reorganised with a two-tier structure of member institutions in order to absorb the Cardiff Institute of Higher Education (now UWIC) and the Gwent College of Higher Education (now UWCN). The existing colleges became constituent institutions and the two new member institutions became university colleges. In 2003, both the colleges became full constituent institutions.
