Biological Sciences PhD

Bangor University

It's been verry good generally. Both for my undergrad and postgrad. The teaching is good, the staff are frindly and there are all the resouces you need. Plus you are living in a beautiful part of the country.

The campus is beautiful and integrated really nicely with the rest of the town. The campus life team lead lots of events each week and the ones I've been to have all been well organised and fun. It has a mixture of modern and historical buildings with plenty of green space. The student support has mostly been brilliant with a few difficulties with accessing DSA and having accommodations put in place. I haven't had to use many of the dedicated services because the help has just been there from the start. The location is beautiful and the views are stunning. The weather can be poor at times but there is still a nice amount to do within the town on those occasions. There is also a good amount of transport in and out of Bangor. The accommodation is decently sized, with more space in the cheaper rooms but there have been several maintenance issues that have been resolved in a good amount of time by friendly people. The hill getting up to halls is very steep however, this does mean you can look out over the town and the sea. The students' union have been very friendly so far and you only have to pay £10 once a year to access all of the non-sporting societies. There is a sexual health area in there that isn't intrusive but is still obvious and a table that shows all of the local support and groups as well as where you can go in your free time.

Overall this is a great university to study, it has great facilities and the location is stunning. Unfortunately, due to Covid, I can’t really comment on the student life.

I love the location of the school... it being a part of the city, buildings are close, many of places to socialize. I haven't noticed anything that can be improved, I don't think I've been here long enough.

It's been great. Staff are very friendly and deeply knowledgeable, the facilities are very good and the location is amazing for anyone who enjoys the outdoors.

Best: Location is beautiful! The people are great Worst: so boring in bangor, some of the lecturers are evil (one told my friend with mental health issues who was consistently getting B/A's that they should drop out if theyre mentally ill in their last year)
