About the university

Wrexham University has taught students at its main Wrexham campus since 1887, when it was the Wrexham School of Science and Art. It was established as the North East Wales Institute in 1993, gained university status in 2008 as Glyndŵr University, and was renamed Wrexham University in 2023.

It is a small, teaching-focused university in North East Wales. Its main Plas Coch campus hosts most courses, the Regent Street site houses art and design, and there are further campuses at Northop, St Asaph and London.

For Indian students the main draw is cost. International fees for 2026/27 are £12,500 for most MA and MSc courses, £13,000 for the MBA and £11,750 a year for bachelor's degrees, among the lower fees in the UK. Computing, data science, AI, cyber security and engineering master's courses can start in January or September.

Wrexham is a town in North East Wales near the English border. University rooms in the Wrexham Student Village cost £132.50 a week in 2026/27 with all bills included.
