The University of Wales, Newport (Welsh: Prifysgol Cymru, Casnewydd), was a university based in Newport, South Wales, before the merger that formed the University of South Wales in April 2013. The university had two campuses in Newport, Caerleon on the northern outskirts of the city, which was subsequently closed during July 2016, and a £35 million campus on the east bank of the River Usk in Newport city centre which opened in 2011.[2] In 2012 the university was ranked 111th out of 120 UK universities in the Guardian League Table for university rankings,[3] 105th out of 116 in The Complete University Guide[4] and 104th out of 116 UK universities in the Times Good University Guide.[5]
