Glacial Research, the most prominent theme of the Institute is carried out by the Centre for Glaciology, which has strong international links. This research has expanded to include the study and mapping glacial landforms on Mars.
Department of Information Studies
The School of Librarianship Wales (CLW) was established at Llanbadarn Fawr in 1964 in response to a recommendation for bilingual librarians formation that was made in the Bourdillon Report on Standards of public library service in England (HMSO, 1962). The university grew rapidly and claims to be the largest European institution for the training of librarians. The independent College merged with the University in August 1989. The new department has since introduced courses by open, distance and part-time to supplement the number of full-time students.
Since 1956, the university has also offered training in records management and document management, first as a Diploma course and since 1995 as a modular master run in collaboration with the National Library of Wales and the Ceredigion Record Office, contributing to the courses offered, support the practical work of students and assist in research projects.
