Celebrate the achievement of graduating from one of Wales’ most iconic and historic universities with this beautifully crafted graduation photo frame. Designed to hold a 10 x 8 inch photograph, the frame itself measures 293mm x 340mm, making it perfectly proportioned for display on a wall or shelf. This is a wonderful way to preserve and showcase a treasured graduation memory in a presentation that does full justice to the occasion.
Frame and Mount Construction
The frame is crafted from a quality moulding and glazed with anti-glare styrene, which reduces the damaging effects of UV light, helping to protect your photograph over time. Inside, the photograph sits within a mount produced from acid-free mount card — an important detail for archival preservation, ensuring the mount will not yellow or degrade and will keep your photograph in pristine condition for the long term. The university name is foil printed onto the mount, adding an elegant, personalised finishing touch that elevates this well beyond a standard photo frame.
The mount colour has been carefully selected to complement Aberystwyth University’s own colours, creating a cohesive and distinguished presentation that feels entirely in keeping with the university’s identity.

Aberystwyth — Wales’ First University
Aberystwyth University holds a truly unique place in Welsh history as the first university college in Wales, opening its doors in October 1872 in a half-finished seafront hotel with just 26 students and three members of teaching staff. Its founding was a remarkable act of collective ambition — driven by Welsh patriots and funded through public subscription, with over 70,000 people across Wales contributing donations by 1875. The university received its Royal Charter in 1893 and, three years later in 1896, awarded its very first honorary degree to Queen Alexandra, on the same day she opened Alexandra Halls on the North Promenade. The town of Aberystwyth itself sits on the stunning Cardigan Bay coastline, surrounded by the dramatic hills of mid-Wales, giving it a setting as distinctive as its history. Notable alumni include Tom Singh, founder of New Look, rugby coaching legend Carwyn James, and film director Sharon Maguire, director of Bridget Jones’s Diary.
