The University of Wales Trinity Saint David ((ウェールズ語:Prifysgol Cymru Y Drindod Dewi Sant)) is a collegiate university operating on three main campuses in South West Wales: in Carmarthen, Lampeter, and Swansea. The university also has a fourth campus in London, England.〔University of Wales Trinity Saint David (2010); ''Delivering a vision: The Creation of a New University''; Trinity Saint David Trust, p. 3〕〔BBC News (2009): (''£14.3m funding for new university'' ); accessed 15 June 2010〕 The university came into existence through the merger of the two oldest higher education institutions in Wales, the University of Wales, Lampeter (UWL) and Trinity University College (TUC) in 2010, under Lampeter's royal charter of 1828. In 2011, it was announced that the University of Wales would also be merged into Trinity Saint David. On 1 August 2013 the university merged with Swansea Metropolitan University. The Chancellor of the University of Wales — and therefore Trinity Saint David — is HRH, The Prince of Wales, the President of Trinity Saint David is R. Brinley Jones and the Vice-Chancellor is Medwin Hughes. == History == Trinity Saint David received the supplementary royal charter that brought it into existence in July 2010 thereby merging University of Wales, Lampeter (UWL) and Trinity University College (TUC).〔BBC News Report (22 July 2009); (''College merger sealed by royal charter'' ). Retrieved 22 July 2010.〕 In 2008, a QAA report on UWL concluded that although the quality of Lampeter's degrees were satisfactory, they had "''limited confidence''" in the institution's quality assurance procedures and systems.〔Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education, May 2007; (''University of Wales, Lampeter Institutional Review Summary'' ). Retrieved 16 June 2010.〕 Further to this assessment, HEFCW commissioned a further report which found "''very real problems of leadership and management''" at the university.〔Hodges, Lucy; The Independent Education (19 February 2009); (''Is a merger the only way to save Lampeter?: Strapped for cash and the subject of a highly critical review, Lampeter is in crisis'' ). Retrieved 16 June 2010.〕〔Time Higher Education, (1 January 2009); (''Trinity College Carmarthen - Talks start on new university'' ). Retrieved 16 June 2010.〕 As a direct result, in December 2008, UWL announced that it was in merger talks with TUC with the intention of forming a new university in Wales. This was formally announced in April 2009, when the institution's new name, ''University of Wales, Trinity Saint David'', was revealed. The university received its first students in September 2010. The name of the institution is a combination of the original name of UWL and the latter name of TUC. In June 2010, a declaration of intent was announced between Trinity Saint David, Swansea Metropolitan University, Coleg Ceredigion, Coleg Sir Benfro and Coleg Sir Gâr to establish a South-West Wales regional post-16 further education and higher education educational group.〔Press Releases (3 June 2010): (''A New Vision to Transform Education in South West Wales'' ); University of Wales, Lampeter; accessed 5 July 2010〕 In December 2010 it was announced that the university will merge with Swansea Metropolitan University. The FE colleges will merge into one educational group, whilst the HE institutions will be merging into another educational group, with both working closely within the region. In October 2011, it was announced that the University of Wales would also be merged into Trinity St David.〔(University of Wales effectively abolished in merger ) - BBC News, 21 October 2011〕〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-15157119〕〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-15171830〕〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-15191954〕 A London campus was opened in 2012. In August 2012, it was announced that Coleg Sir Gar would be merged with Trinity Saint David, making Trinity Saint David a combined Higher Education and Further Education institution.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Coleg Sir Gar merges with University of Wales: Trinity Saint David )〕 On 1 August 2013 the university merged with Swansea Metropolitan University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Uni merger goes ahead after Met is dissolved )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Wales Trinity Saint David」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
