Newport has been involved in higher education for more than 80 years, and the institution's roots go back even further to the first Mechanics Institute in the city, which opened in 1841. The current institution was formed as Gwent College of Higher Education by a merger of various institutions in 1975. The college was admitted to the University of Wales in 1996. It soon adopted the name of University of Wales College, Newport before changing to its current title. Today, the university has six academic schools - Art, Media and Design; Business, Computing and Engineering; Education; Humanities and Science, and Social Studies. The university has two campuses in the city - at Allt-yr-Yn, a pleasant residential area and Caerleon, the historic roman centre. There are plans for a third campus on the banks of the River Usk in the city centre. Student accommodation, most of it comprising modern, en-suite study-bedrooms, is currently located at Caerleon, and there is a free bus service for the short journey between two existing campuses.
