Rob Mac welcomed to Wrexham University for a bold, future-focused discussion with our Vice-Chancellor.

Together, we explored the launch of our exciting new MSc in Sports Business Management and plans to develop an ambitious offer at the intersection of the arts and entrepreneurship.

This collaboration reflects the shared commitment of the Wrexham University, Wrexham AFC and its owners to lift the whole region—championing talent, driving inclusive growth, and advancing our vision to become a world-leading modern civic university.

A fantastic conversation about what we can achieve, collectively, for Wrexham.

Rob Mac, Wrexham AFC co-owner said:

"One of the most exciting aspects of Wrexham is that everyone wants the community to succeed. Between The Club, the University, the broader town, and certainly Ryan and I — we’re all committed to creating opportunity and telling a bigger story about what this place can be. Bringing together sport, business, and the arts is how we set ourselves up for the ultimate win…together."

Professor Joe Yates, Vice Chancellor, Wrexham University said:

“These conversations reflect exactly the kind of transformation we are driving at Wrexham University. The intersection of culture, arts, sport and business is where extraordinary opportunities emerge, and it’s where Wrexham as a place is truly distinctive. Working collectively—with partners like Wrexham AFC and leaders who share our ambition—helps us create pathways that are not only innovative, but that expand opportunity for our students and deliver real benefit for our community. It’s this spirit of collaboration that will power our journey to become a world‑leading modern civic university.”
