威爾斯大學
总部位于卡迪夫的联邦制大学
威爾斯大學(英語:University of Wales,威爾斯語:Prifysgol Cymru)於1893年創立,曾是英國一所學位頒發機構。
历史编辑
威爾士大學本為類似於倫敦大學的聯邦制大學,于1893年根据英国皇家宪章成立,由班戈、卡迪夫和阿伯里斯特威斯三個分校組成。隨著其不斷發展,威爾士的絕大多數大學一度都位於其旗下。
2011年随着威尔士大学卡迪夫学院独立出去并改名卡迪夫城市大学,原大学联盟内仅剩一所学校,威爾士三一聖大衛大學继承了威大的绝大多数部门。
爭議编辑
2010年該大學爆出學術造假醜聞。2011年英國高等教育质量保证署(Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education)調查發現該大學對旗下組織提供的課程沒有進行過嚴格審查[1] 。隨後其在倫敦的分校又爆出簽證造價醜聞[2][3][4]。
威大成员亚伯大学、班戈大學、卡迪夫大學、斯旺西大學和格拉摩根大学(現為南威爾士大學的一部分)等校長對其表示不滿并纷纷表示退出。[5]
2011年10月威尔士大學宣佈正式廢校,併入威爾士三一聖大衛大學[6][7][8][9][10],但到2018年為止合併仍未完成[11][12]。
