Aberystwyth is the first university in Wales. Led by the London Welshman Hugh Owen, a group of patriots raised money by public and private subscription from the 1850s to found a college of university status in Wales. At 9am on 16 October 1872 the University College of Aberystwyth opened with two professors and 25 students, in a half-finished hotel on the seafront now known as the Old College. It received its Royal Charter in 1889 and was a founding member of the former federal University of Wales. The main campus later moved to Penglais hill, which overlooks the town and Cardigan Bay and holds the Arts Centre.
