It offers both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, as well as professional courses. The university had 6,045 students in 2024/25. The earliest predecessor of the university was the Wrexham School of Science and Art (WSSA), established in 1887, which after several mergers became the North East Wales Institute of Higher Education (NEWI) in 1975. The institute became a full member of the University of Wales in 2004.
