	The '''University of Wales''' (~~{{lang-cy\|~~Prifysgol Cymru}}) is a confederal university ~~system~~ in [[Wales]], [[~~United Kingdom~~]]. ~~Established in 1893~~, it ~~was the first university in~~ Wales ~~and has played a significant role in the development of higher education in the country~~.		The '''University of Wales''' (Welsh: ''Prifysgol Cymru'') is a confederal university founded in 1893. It was originally established as a federal university with three constituent colleges: [[University College Wales, Aberystwyth]], [[University College of North Wales, Bangor]], and [[University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire, Cardiff]]. Over the years, it expanded to include other institutions across Wales.

	== History ==		==History==
	The University of Wales was ~~founded~~ in ~~1893 as a federal university with three constituent colleges: [[University College of~~ Wales, ~~Aberystwyth]], [[University College of North Wales]]~~, and ~~[[University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire]]. Over~~ the ~~years, it expanded to include other institutions, becoming a significant educational body~~ in Wales.		The University of Wales was established in response to the need for higher education in Wales. Prior to its formation, Welsh students had to attend universities in England or Scotland. The university was granted a royal charter in 1893, and it became the first university in Wales.

	In ~~2007~~, the University of Wales ~~underwent~~ a ~~major restructuring~~, ~~leading to the creation~~ of the [[University of Wales ~~Trinity Saint David]] in 2010, which merged with several other institutions~~. ~~Despite these changes,~~ the ~~University~~ of ~~Wales continues to exist as~~ a ~~degree-awarding body~~.		In its early years, the University of Wales functioned as a federal university, with its constituent colleges operating with a degree of autonomy but awarding degrees under the University of Wales name. This structure allowed for the development of a unified Welsh higher education system while respecting the distinctiveness of each college.

	== Structure ==		==Structure==
	The University of Wales ~~operates~~ as a ~~confederal~~ university~~, meaning it is~~ composed of several constituent institutions ~~that are largely autonomous but share a common degree-awarding framework. The main administrative offices are located in [[Cardiff]]~~, ~~the capital city of Wales~~.		The University of Wales operated as a federal university until the early 21st century. It was composed of several constituent institutions, each with its own governance and academic programs. These institutions included:
