Being in the Wrexham campus doesn’t offer the same services or opportunities as Bangor. There’s no societies or student Union there

The uni itself is wonderful; the location is beautiful, and the academic support is wonderful – unfortunately, the mental health support is lacking, and if you aren't much of a drinker, the social scene is limited.

It would be nice if the facilities were open later for students with responsibilities outside of uni who have to study later.

Best and worst aspects of my university experience: Bangor University offers a supportive and welcoming learning environment, especially for mature and non-traditional students. The facilities are excellent, the campus is beautiful, and the location is peaceful, which really helps with focus and wellbeing. Teaching staff are approachable and genuinely interested in student progress. Academic support is strong, and there is good access to learning resources, libraries, and student services. The Students’ Union and wider university community make it easy to feel included. One area for improvement could be clearer communication at times around administrative processes, but overall the support staff are helpful and responsive when contacted. Overall, Bangor University provides a high-quality student experience, combining strong academic standards with a friendly and inclusive atmosphere. I would recommend it to students who value both learning and wellbeing.

Best - Supportive lectures and really good security system as there is always someone ready for help. Worst - No girls only or alcohol free rooms available for nursing and midwifery students

They are now charging for societies and clubs, which was not the case previously. The best experience is definitely the area where the university is located. It’s so beautiful.

The university is very good in my opinion and there is a variety of support. If you ask. The only issue I have is parking which can be challenging on some days, when there is a big staff car park that barely exceeds 30% capacity?

I have had a very positive experience studying for an MPhil in Philosophy at Bangor University. The department offers a genuinely supportive and intellectually stimulating environment, where independent research is taken seriously and encouraged from the outset. Supervision has been a particular strength of the programme. My supervisors were highly knowledgeable, approachable, and generous with their time, providing thoughtful and constructive feedback that helped me develop my ideas with clarity and rigour. There is a strong emphasis on developing original research, while also ensuring that students have a solid grounding in philosophical method and academic writing. The wider research culture at Bangor is welcoming and engaging. Opportunities to participate in seminars, reading groups, and discussions with staff and postgraduate students created a real sense of belonging to an active philosophical community. Despite being a smaller department, the quality of teaching and research support is consistently high. Bangor itself is an excellent place for postgraduate study. The location offers a calm and focused atmosphere, which is ideal for sustained philosophical research, and the university provides good library and research resources. Overall, I would highly recommend Bangor University to anyone considering postgraduate research in philosophy, particularly those seeking close supervision, strong academic support, and a collegial research environment.

Best- The university offers many experiences such as societies in a broad range of fields. From sports like American football which I’ve really enjoyed. To more social softies like the palaeontology society where I talk to my friends about dinosaurs. Worst- The overall town is quite quiet and lacks overall life in my personal opinion. However this is just my subjective view to some the life of the city is perfect but to me it is quite depressing at times.

I study marine biology, and I think the facilities and staff for this are amazing! We have the entire building dedicated to ocean science with labs and the boat Prince Madog, which gives great experience and a range of practical skills. We are also taught a range of topics – something for everyone. We have entire modules based on coding, which is an essential skill in marine biology, and assignments vary from essays, scientific reports, presentations, scientific drawings, posters, articles, policy briefs, written exams, and MCQs – a good range for developing skills. I feel very supported by staff, and there is always someone to help and answer any questions, whether this be my tutor, a lecturer, or the student support team. We have had lots of support with careers, and I feel ready for graduate jobs. The location is amazing, being in such a beautiful place in the country. Some facilities could do with updating, and more study spaces are needed (but they are soon opening a student-led library to help fix this).

The best things are definitely the location of the University. It's surrounded by Snowdonia and other really beautiful places. The Uni itself has good facilities, the libraries aren't too overcrowded and are really nice. All the staff are really great at supporting you and I feel like they're passionate about their jobs and always want to help. My least favorite thing is probably that it does feel like there are few things to outside of Uni. There aren't many shops or parks to go to, as well as other things like cinemas or amusement things. But the train and bus links do help with that.
