My personal experience with professors have been great - they’ve all be so helpful and mindful of students mental health, and have always been very fast at communication. However, I am in smaller classes, so this makes it easier for them. The modules are fascinating and I’m lucky to be able to choose all of my modules, including a variety of history, law, religion and philosophy, archaeology etc. The workload hasn’t been too overwhelming. If you’re an outdoor, hiking, swimming, adventurer etc. kind of person, Banogr is a perfect location. If you’re looking for more night life, shopping etc. then Bangor lacks, however there is good shopping in the town over Llandudno. My accommodation (St. Mary’s) is really good, generally kept clean and tidy and the facilities are quite nice for student accommodation. The night life is lacking but there are two main clubs (Academi and Cube) which are decent. Students I’ve met have been really friendly and the small city brings a good community feel. Decent for pub crawls. Bangor generally is quite hilly too so if you don’t want to spend your day walking up and down this might not be the place for you. The University building itself is stunning and Main Arts definitely lives up to it’s “Hogwarts” reputation, especially the corridors and library. Pontio, the other main building is much more modern and clean and also has a cinema. Perfect University also if you’re looking for diversity. Really cute pier that they light up and has good views (and you can also crab fish!).
I have enjoyed every module so far and they have been incredibly interesting.

Not enough money for AU Otherwise great
All good
Firstly, learning environment at Bangor University is fabulous with beautiful beaches and mountains. As we know, Snowdonia is second highest mountain in Uk which can be better opportunity for student to explore it. Employees working at university are friendly which makes us to feel like a friend or familY. There is lot of place to explore around bangor from old historical places to modern architecture. In my opinion, i feel like people who love nature should once come to bangor and taste local cuisines and culture.
First of all , the good thing about course here in Bangor is that, course content are based on real scenarios and mainly focused on industrialisation area. Worse thing can be the online learning system which makes student to interact less with study.
I feel myself very lucky to be a student at Bangor Uni. I feel like my dream of pursuing higher education is in the way once I dreamed. The welcoming people in and outside college, college in a walk distance, user friendly technology and the climate of the Bangor is most suitable and important things that has attracted me the most. Apart from the college life experience, Bangor uni has lots of program's which help in interacting with diverse group of international students and give chance to learn about the culture, lifestyle of people around the world. The volunteering programs being conducted at different time period across wide spectrum of social cause is blessing for the students whose interest lies in the spectrum of social help. The access to the wide sources of knowledge through the on-site libraries on ideal site at Deiniol road and main arts building enable and helps both the students living at upper Bangor and lower Bangor.
Hybrid class is one of the many positive factor that has made learning process easy. The nature of the hybrid class has given chances to all the distance learning students and on campus students equal opportunities to interact and place ideas for more diverse discussions on any topics.
Free sports and societies. Small university site means everyone feels connected. Small lecture size means the teaching is more focused. Better engagement with students.
Some lecturers are awful but the good ones are amazing!
Covid has not helped the situation and feel for university life. However the staff and students have utilised support and got each other through.
Online learning and not getting the full experience however that can not be helped.
Bangor Univerity was a good decision that changed my life and opened loads of brilliant opportunities. Would be more opportunities to do shows and workshops on the course. Really, good facilities and sports in particular. the student support has been amazing such a lovely and friendly environment.
The best aspect of my course is having regular meetings with my supervisors fortnightly. Giving feedback and comment from my supervisors improved my research honestly. The worst aspect of my course is the lack of workshops and lectures, conferences, etc.
Everything is perfect because Bangor is a small city. My university's location is perfect.
It is a bit expensive, but it is such a good place to live. It is safe as well.
Well, Bangor University needs no introduction, since 137 years Bangor has been a home to students across the globe whether its a semester abroad program or a PhD programme. Bangor university is a foundation to thousands of success stories written by Bangor alumnus. When I look back to the time when I was selecting a university, I could not have made a better decision than the one I am living in. Bangor university has offered and provided me every opportunity to excel in such short timeframe. I embarked on my journey in 2020 and now i am proud of my university and confident in writing the next chapter of life.
I came to UK in January 2020 shortly after we witnessed a global pandemic and therefore University had to switch to online teaching. After the ease in the restriction by the government, Bangor university offered blended learning a mix of online and in-person teaching. Following the government rules and regulation Bangor university allowed in person teaching with the necessary safety measures for students and staff. Amid pandemic, lecturers were approachable, they were responsive and every course content detail was uploaded on the Blackboard. Personal tutors checked on the students to ensure their well being for their mental and physical health. The weekly student bulletin helped students to stay up to date with the pandemic situation, restrictions and events. Therefore Bangor University and the staff played a very responsible role.
Facilities are good but in my opinion but not enough study spaces have very limited spaces as compared to the size of university. Location is awesome with breathtaking views and unique historical architecture. Student life here in Bangor is just okay with only a couple of places to go out but it’s really cheap so it can be fun.
First year went well but in second year we saw so many new lecturers and they struggled to access the online learning system which delayed the lectures and they struggled to manage time properly and cover all lecture slides and just skipped most lecture content and some international lecturers had difficulty speaking English which resulted in difficulties while understanding. So I think university have to raise their hiring standards.
Bangor is a small city. Really easy to make friends here living cost is really low. So being a small city it has really limited work and career opportunities.
Convenient and very clean and well planned location. New buildings are alright but room sizes in both new and old buildings are very small.
I love it here, the people and surroundings in north wales make Bangor unmatched for my course.
My tutor is amazing and student support is only an email away.
Any problems are easily worked out and the rooms are beautiful.
