University of Wales Act 1902
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The University of Wales Act 1902 (2 Edw. 7 c. 14) was an Act of Parliament of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, given the royal assent on 22 July 1902.
It provided that if any office was stipulated as being open to graduates of the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, London, or the Victoria University, or any legal exemption was provided to graduates of those universities, then these privileges would likewise extend to the graduates of the University of Wales holding equivalent degrees.
The Act remains in force, though the lack of restrictive conditions or legal privileges for specific universities means it is now effectively obsolete.
