History BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

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!).

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.

Sustainable Forest and Nature Management (SUFONAMA) (Erasmus Mundus course) MSc

University rating (4)

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.

Free sports and societies. Small university site means everyone feels connected. Small lecture size means the teaching is more focused. Better engagement with students.

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.

University rating (3)

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.
