  • People, Places and Policy
    People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography.

  • ICT Use and Connectivity of Minority Communities in Wales
    Connected Communities ICT use and connectivity of minority communities in Wales Panayiota Tsatsou Ian Stafford Gary Higgs Richard Fry Robert Berry 1 ICT USE AND CONNECTIVITY OF MINORITY COMMUNITIES IN WALES ICT use and connectivity of minority communities in Wales Panayiota Tsatsou Ian Stafford Gary Higgs Richard Fry Robert Berry Executive Summary This project has aimed to gain an understanding of the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on changing cultures and patterns of connectivity within and between minority communities and the potential of multifaceted digital divides in constraining or shaping these forms of connectivity. It has used Wales as a test-bed and focused on ethnic communities (and their language and cultural attributes) and people with disabilities. The project activities ranged from reviewing the literature and existing research to undertaking stakeholder engagement activities. The project findings highlight that ICTs and the Internet are perceived as being key to promoting community connectivity in contemporary society and that the minority communities are at risk of both social and digital exclusion. There is clear anecdotal evidence that these communities require bespoke policy which reflects their specific needs and requirements. However, the evidence provided in existing (mostly quantitative) research data fails to adequately explore these issues and „grey data‟ is both difficult to identify and access. Therefore there is a clear rationale for developing more qualitative, fine grained, community-based

  • 'The College by the Sea' and Its Photographs
    ‘The College by the Sea’ and its photographs Introduction The University College of Wales, Aberystwyth (now Aberystwyth University) was founded in 1872 after years of struggle. During this period Scotland had its four well-established universities: Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Glasgow and St Andrews. England fared less well but had the ancient institutions of Oxford and Cambridge plus the newcomers Durham, King’s College and University College in London, and Owen’s College in Manchester. Ireland was blessed with Trinity College Dublin and the new Queen’s Colleges at Cork, Belfast and Galway. Only Wales was without a place of higher education (apart from St David’s College, Lampeter and other religious colleges). The effort to rectify this omission gathered pace during the nineteenth century. The story is in many ways a romantic one. The setting up of local committees in Wales, and in English cities such as London and Manchester, helped to further the cause, and money was collected in order to establish the foundation when all the pieces were deemed to be in place. The details have been set down on a number of occasions and will not be repeated here. 1 Suffice to say that Aberystwyth was not a well thought out location for the College, and indeed would have had few supporters in a referendum. It was rather the coming of the railway, the erection of hotels en route, the economic downturn of the 1860s and the bankruptcy of the speculator Thomas Savin which led to the unfinished Castle Hotel in Aberystwyth being put up for sale. The building was purchased and after a few hesitations the University College of Wales (UCW) opened its doors to a handful of students in October 1872.

Its international reputation attracts staff and students from throughout the UK and from the rest of the world. The University is located in and around the City’s magnificent civic centre. The University is the largest constituent institution in the Federal University of Wales with 25 departments and schools organised into five faculties: Business Studies and Law; Engineering and Environmental Design; Health and Life Sciences; Humanities and Social Studies; and Physical Sciences.

  • Residence Conditions
    BANGOR UNIVERSITY STANDARD RESIDENCE CONDITIONS Important Information For the academic year 2020/21, if the University has to postpone the start of the Period of Residence due to Covid-19, the Student does not need to give notice of late arrival unless they will be arriving after the Postponed Start Date. If the University postpones the start of the Period of Residence, the “first day” or “the start” of the Period of Residence” will be the Postponed Start Date. The “end” of the Period of Residence will be the date the Period of Residence expires, as stated in the Offer OR, if sooner, the date the University or the Student ends the accommodation contract, as permitted by its terms. 1 Introduction 1.1 The conditions set out in this document apply to Students who agree to take accommodation owned, leased or managed by the University. Once the Student has accepted an offer of accommodation from the University and the University has received the Student’s rent pre-payment, these conditions will form part of a LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT between the University and the Student. The remainder of the contract is set out in the offer of accommodation. 1.2 In a few exceptional cases, the University will waive the requirement for a rent pre-payment. In such cases, the University will notify the Student that the pre-payment has been waived and confirm that the contract has become binding. 1.3 The contract between the University and the Student is governed by English law which international Students may find is quite different to the law which applies in their own country.

  • Higher Education Reconfiguration
    Members’ Research Service: Topic Brief Gwasanaeth Ymchwil yr Aelodau: Papur Byr Higher Education Reconfiguration Introduction The Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) decided in 2002 that in order for the higher education (HE) sector in Wales to reduce overhead costs, and to attract research investment, it would require reconfiguration. The detail of this proposal is available in the WAG policy document Reaching Higher i. In the same year, in response to Reaching Higher, the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) launched the ‘Reconfiguration and Collaboration’ (R&C) fund to support the reshaping of the sector in the interests of achieving major performance gains and enhanced competitiveness. During the first phase of this fund, 2002-04, the fund supported the merger of Cardiff University with the University of Wales, College of Medicine, in 2004. In 2004 the Minister for Education and Lifelong Learning reiterated the WAG’s commitment to the reconfiguration of the HE sector. Following an appraisal of the sector’s performance, HEFCW launched the second phase of the R&C fund, to run from 2004/05 until further notice. In reporting to the Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills Committee in 2006, HEFCW voiced concerns about meeting the targets set by the WAG in Reaching Higher. Specifically targets relating to reducing administrative costs and attracting more research fundingii. Recent progress on the reconfiguration agenda has included the merger of Merthyr College and the University of Glamorgan, a strategic alliance being formed between the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and the University of Glamorgan, and the establishment of several research and enterprise partnerships Progress since 2002 Successful Merger On 1 December 2004, Cardiff University and the University of Wales, College of Medicine formally merged into one institution with more than 5,000 staff, 22,000 students and an annual turnover of £300 million iii.

  • Hughes & Davies: Childhood Poverty in Wales and Its Implications for Schools
    HUGHES & DAVIES: CHILDHOOD POVERTY IN WALES AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOLS - A SURVEY OF TRAINEE TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS Childhood poverty in Wales and its Teacher Education Advancement implications for schools - a survey of trainee Network Journal teachers’ perceptions Copyright © 2019 University of Cumbria Vol 11(1) pages 25-36 Sioned Hughes and Geraint Davies University of Wales Trinity Saint David Abstract With a third of all pupils in Wales in poverty it is essential that trainee teachers in the principality understand the nature of poverty and develop a practical understanding of how best to deal with its negative effects. In order to explore trainee teachers’ perceptions of these issues a detailed questionnaire was completed by 94 of the 96 third year trainee teachers on a BA in Primary Education with QTS programme at a university in Wales. The data revealed a mature understanding of the main issues. Childhood poverty was seen by the respondents as a state of material, educational and emotional deprivation which prevents children and young people from developing their potential as individuals and from developing into fully active members of society. The respondents felt that schools had a central role to play in tackling the negative effects of poverty and that there were a range of positive measures that all schools needed to take in order to achieve this. The data also revealed that there were some practical areas related to combating childhood poverty which the respondents were yet to gain full confidence in tackling. The survey has significant implications for all those concerned with childhood poverty and initial teacher education in Wales and beyond.

  • 1. Background Information
    1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The origins of Cardiff Metropolitan University can be traced back to 1865 when the Cardiff School of Art was first opened in the old library in Cardiff. In 1976, the School of Art, the College of Food Technology and Commerce (established 1940), the Cardiff College of Education (established 1950) and Llandaff College of Technology (established 1954) were merged to form the South Glamorgan Institute of Higher Education. The name was changed to Cardiff Institute of Higher Education in 1990. Until 1992, the institution was under the jurisdiction of South Glamorgan Council. Incorporated status was granted in 1992, this process occurring later in Wales than elsewhere in the UK. Key milestones in the development of Cardiff Metropolitan University as an autonomous institution include: 1993 Teaching Degree Awarding Powers (TDAPs) granted by the Privy Council. 1996 Became a college of the University of Wales and changed name to University of Wales Institute, Cardiff (UWIC). 2003 Became a Constituent Institution of the University of Wales. 2009 Research Degree Awarding Powers (RDAPs) granted by the Privy Council. 2011 Withdrew from the University of Wales and changed name to Cardiff Metropolitan University. With just over 1000 staff, more than 12,000 students and an annual turnover of approximately £83 million, Cardiff Metropolitan University is, in terms of size, in the middle range of the UK university sector. A recent investment of £50m in the Estates Strategy has focused on the development of a new Cardiff School of
