Founded in 1884, Bangor University has a long tradition of excellence and exceeds expectations, both for academic standards and student experience.
We have over 11,000 students and over 650 teaching staff based in 23 Academic Schools grouped into five Colleges
The national Research Assessment Exercise shows that world leading research is being carried out at Bangor. Areas of particular excellence include Accounting & Finance which is rated as the best for research in the UK, and Electronic Engineering which is rated second in the UK. Sports Science is placed in the top 10 in the UK and Psychology is 11th in the UK.
The latest National Student Survey (NSS) results reflects the University’s focus on overall student experience. The results – released August 2014 – place Bangor amongst the UK’s top 10 universities for student satisfaction (7th in the UK when excluding specialist institutions). The University is also top in Wales for overall student satisfaction as well as quality of teaching.
A recent review by the UK Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) resulted in the highest possible endorsement of the University’s academic standards. The ‘confidence’ judgement by the QAA confirms the University’s academic standing and profile.
The Study Skills Centre provides help with the transition to university and on-going support with academic progression. The support provided by the Centre includes help with academic writing, reading and exam skills, mathematics and statistics, team-work, presentation skills, and project-planning.
Other learning resources include a £1.5M MRI scanner, a multi-media language centre, a natural history museum and a £3.5-m research vessel, The Prince Madog.
The construction of the Pontio Arts & Innovation Centre is currently underway, which is set to become a new social hub for students as well as an internationally significant centre for learning, innovation and the performing arts. The £36million building will be a world-class centre for innovation in science, technology and the creative arts. In addition to being a new home for our Students' Union, it will include a theatre, studio theatre, cinema, lecture theatres, exhibition spaces, bar and café.
A £20m redevelopment of the campus resulted in the establishment of the Environment Centre Walesand the Bangor Business School's Management Centre.
We have excellent sports and recreation facilities, made even better by a recent multi-million pound investment programme. The Sports Centre is also home to the Dome – an indoor tennis and netball centre opened in 2013.
At Bangor there are around 150 Students’ Union Clubs and Societies, covering a range of interests, activities and sports. Student membership is free – which means all students can take advantage of the extra-curricular opportunities offered.
We have close links with the NHS in Wales through the Besti Cadwaladr University Health Board. The University is a major provider of training and education for the NHS and is also one of the main partners in the North Wales Clinical School.
The University in recent years has opened new halls of residence as part of a £35m upgrade. A new development of 600 rooms will open on the St Mary's Site in 2015, with the range of accommodation including studio apartments and townhouses. There will also be a café bar, shop, laundrette, common rooms and sports and fitness facilities on site.
The University is amongst the UK’s top 50 Universities, according to The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2015. Bangor was also placed within the UK’s top 20 universities in the Times Higher Education magazine’s 2014 Student Experience survey.
The What Uni Student Choice Awards placed Bangor University within the top 10 in the UK in the following categories: Accommodation; Clubs and Socieites; Course and Lecturers.
Bangor has been described as “one of the cheapest places in Britain” to be a student (The A-Z of Universities and Higher Education Colleges) and is consistently ranked as one of the most economical places to study in the UK in various cost-of-living surveys.
As a major provider of teacher training in Wales, we have close links with schools, local education authorities and the teaching profession.
We have one of the largest widening access programmes in the country called the Talent Opportunities Programme involving over 1500 pupils in schools across North Wales.
We are involved in the Reaching Higher, Reaching Wider programme operating in the region.
