Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.
I can help you find perfect course and uni. Would you like some help in your search?
Excellent teachers and facilities to help you study, a ton of support, however location is very rural nothing really much to do unless you venture out
Amazing staff and community in a beautiful part of the country. City itself is slightly run down with a lot of the high street shut but if you’re fine shopping online or driving then it’s okay. Student support could be better, you are expected to go to them before they check up on you, but there are plenty of societies and clubs to keep you busy. Campus is quite spread out and combined with the hills it can take a lot of getting used to but there are shortcuts to learn. Study spaces are quite good but information regarding their use can be hard to come by. The main building is beautiful with a lot of lecture spaces but unless you study specific courses you might not spend much time there.
The Marine Centre Wales and the Prince Madog are very well equipped and the field work, ship-based activities and laboratory practicals provide great vocational experience. Most of the lecturers are very accommodating when you need help and incredibly knowledgeable in their subject areas. The employment opportunities offered by the university, such as demonstrating for undergraduate classes and working on open days, has been really useful to boost my CV and help cope with the cost of living crisis. This year has been the biggest cohort Bangor has had for School of Ocean Sciences masters programmes and there have been a few teething problems, especially at the start of the year, where we were timetabled to be in rooms that were too small for the capacity. The structure has also been changed this year from modules running one at a time to having 3 modules running side by side each semester which has led to some deadline clashes.
The lecturers are all really passionate, and there have been so many opportunities for practical work and getting out in the field. The societies are also a lot of societies that are free to join so you can try loads if you want to. I think maybe there need to be more study spaces and the town isn't very busy so doesn't have that city feel.
There are lot of things to highlight that university is providing its best to students, Class environment Students interaction Library facility IT services Student campus life Workshops and events for career growth Issue resolving In touch with students in many ways Students unions And many more university is acting at their best.
Because staff are so helpful and very much supportive.
The accessibility is not the best, its not the most physical disability friendly place and the university does not feel like it does much to help. It would be beneficial if there was funding put in place to help those with such disabilities to get around the whole area not just too and from classes. Shuttles etc that run to upper and lower bangor for students with disabilities would be nice. Also studying can feel overwhelming, specially if you do not know anyone else on that course. Having meet ups to meet those on your course too study would be helpful especially when doing group projects. Many of the professors i have had have been good though, they are friendly and helpful with work from my personal experience and when you require extra help there are lots of university resources there too help.
Student support is the best Family housing is the worst
The location and history is beautiful. Need to update, possibly bring in a bag or university app with blackboard on it and easy access to timetables and assignments and everything like that instead having to use google
