Glyndwr University is a Wrexham based university which was formerly known as the North East Wales Institute of Higher Education (NEWI).

It was given university status in 2008 having been a member of the University of Wales since 2003.

It is named after Owain Glyndwr, who was Prince of Wales during the 1300s.
