The University of Glamorgan has been named as Wales’

top new university by The Sunday Times University Guide,

which will be published on Sunday.

The University also has the 7th highest success rate (94.4%)

in the whole of the UK for its graduates finding employment

after graduating.

Julie Lydon, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Glamorgan,

said:“Glamorgan’s Sunday Times position as Wales’s best

new university reflects a tremendous amount of hard work and

commitment by our staff and students. Our particularly strong

result in having the lowest level f graduate unemployment of

any Welsh university, a performance in which Glamorgan is

ranked in the top seven across the entire UK,shows the benefit

of tailoring our courses to the needs of employers, especially

in the current economic climate.

This is a result of our close partnership with industry and

our commitment to giving students the employability skills they

need to succeed in the jobs market.”
