Motto: Nid byd byd wybodaeth
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 7, 1928.
The dragons in the arms are derived from the dragon of ancient legends in Welsh poetry, like the one that is found on the Welsh flag. The book is an obvious symbol for learning.
The crest of a phoenix refers to the Old College building, which was burnt out in a fire, but rebuilt.
