University Court
2026 Meeting
- 14 May 2026
- 18:00-19:30
- Aberystwyth Arts Centre Penglais SY23 3DE.
Last year, we launched Aberystwyth University’s Strategy 2030s, setting a clear direction for our future. One year on, I am pleased to invite you to join us for our annual University Court to reflect on how that direction is beginning to take shape in practice.
Over the past year, we have seen how our strategy is translating into action across the University. This event will bring that to life through a programme of stories, discussions with our staff, and short films. Together, these will showcase our renewed focus and the ways we are working to grow knowledge, build communities, and strengthen Wales.
