About
The University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology (UWIST, Athrofa Gwyddoniaeth a Thechnoleg Prifysgol Cymru) was a public university college based in the centre of the city of Cardiff, Wales. In 1988, it merged with the University College Cardiff, which later became Cardiff University. UWIST joined the university sector in 1968 as a college of the University of Wales along with other colleges of advanced technology that became universities following the Robbins Report in 1963. These are sometimes grouped with the plate glass universities that were created at this time.
