Education Studies (With Placement) (Full-Time) MA

Bangor University

Bangor University offers a friendly, supportive environment with high-quality teaching, great facilities, and a close-knit community. Its stunning location between the mountains and the sea creates an inspiring place to study, while affordable living costs and an active student union make student life enjoyable and accessible.

Best part is probably the look of the uni. Student life, there isnt that much to do in town as everything is closing BUT if you live in student halls, campus life is amazing. You get a calendar for each semester with different free events including free food, entertainment, trips etc. Very good way to make friends without spending money. Id say one thing that could improve is student support. Yes there is a student wellbeing team but it is very hard to get through to them and get any support if needed. Furthermore, the finance team can be really hard to deal with and the 4 years thats ive been here ive had problems with them every year. Especially if you are from abroad or even not from the main island. Because im from Northern Ireland it seems I always have issues with finance and the uni isnt a great help with it.

The staff are so helpful and supportive my academic tutor holds catch-up meetings regularly and has lots of helpful advice and guidance. The support for students with specific learning difficulties has been great as well they help you get an assessment and also help you get any equipment and support you need. The course and course content is also great! The fact that clubs and societies are free to join is also fantastic and they are welcoming to anybody. Finally, Bangor University campus has the most idyllic setting with views of the Menai strait and Snowdonia mountains! It has such a calming effect and makes me want to go study in the Main Arts library more often!

Bangor University has a state of the art facilities for her students. The academic modules is content based and the mode of lecturing is students' centred. The major constraints faced by most international students and their dependents is the absence of family accommodations for couples. This has affected many psychologically which may have an adverse effects on their academic performance. Thank you.

Good support from the university. Life expenses are expensive. Hope the university will help students sometimes hardship funds
