Sort:Latest reviewsNursing studies are not so much theoretical, they are generalised. They allow international students to work only for 12 hours a week which is bad.
Bangor Uni provides many opportunities for both socialising and working experience. With a close community it is easy to make connections with other students and find friends.
No money left, people being sacked and feeling underpressure, overall uncertain and unpleasant atmosphere as a result
I have not had any bad experiences yet. But the university and the surroundings are very welcoming. There seems to be a lot of student support, which is amazing.
The university is nice and the place is so beautiful.
Super supportive lecturers, amazing surrounding views and an awesome range of courses not found anywhere else, amazing dyslexia and learning support. Not a fan of funds being cut for important nessisarily courses like history and archeology, more funding needs to be put towards what makes Bangor so important within education which is natural science and Welsh history. Natural science is what Bangor is known for and should continue to be concentrated on, not business which can be found at any uni. No where else has the natural history around their uni like we do and that’s a privilege.
Socially- The uni removed the student club so that’s taking away a safer clubbing option for new students. Love my course but I’m upset that the university is removing archaeology for budget cuts. And the Bangor archives have been reduced hours etc, they need to be fully opened again.
Great area and facilities. Website is confusing and student support can be hard to access. Lecture quality varies widely.
It's great.
The best aspects are that it’s a small uni, which makes for a really lovely community, it’s also not too busy, so it’s hard to get overwhelmed. It’s also very affordable, as accommodation prices and society prices are really low, which is so student friendly. And finally, it’s really beautiful, from the mountains, to the beaches, to the university building itself, it is all so stunning. I think it could be improved with more lifts in the university buildings, to help make it even more accessible, and more help with employability, for students that beed part time jobs.
Good technology and learning environment
Bangor University has a good learning environment, with access to the library, free Wi-Fi, and other facilities. However, for some courses you are required to attend classes every day of the week, which can be a bit tedious given the amount of coursework and self-study required. It is located in a small and quiet town, which offers a peaceful environment but is quite far from major cities.
I consider bangor unitivesity is so good
My best experience is the friendly staff that guide you around the campus. My least favourite experience is the length between the campuses.
The university provides a solid foundation in business theory, and many modules are well organised with clear assessment criteria. Group work and presentations help develop teamwork and communication skills that are relevant to the workplace. That said, some modules could include more real-world case studies and practical applications to better prepare students for industry.
I got a opportunity to study with native speaker，improve my speaking.
Bangor University has been a great place to study. The campus environment is peaceful and very close to nature, which makes it easier to focus. Staff are generally supportive and the learning resources are helpful. The Students’ Union also offers friendly support and fun activities. One area to improve would be communication and response times for some services (e.g., admin or timetables). More career guidance and networking opportunities for international students would also be appreciated.
