Bangor University is generally a fantastic university! There's a slight lack of communal study areas since the science library has been closed for renovations, but I have very little to complain about otherwise. The clubs and societies are free and easy to join, so you can try out all of the hobbies and sports you want! The students union continually works to better the university. Most notably, the SU has ensured that there are free menstrual products in ALL university toilets, and students can register for free reusable menstrual products. I have also always had good experiences with the careers service, and I can always connect to the university WiFi.
Its great, all the staff and students are very helpful and welcoming
Well organised university with extensive student support. Find it difficult to connect to university wifi at times.
The Wrexham Campus is relly engaging for the student and while the main campus in Bangor has a lot of clubs and societies, the Wrexham campus does not have any options. It would be great if we did. Thank you
I think that this university is okay, not much to do around here though
Bangor University is a friendly university which offers a lot
I have thoroughly enjoyed my 4 years at Bangor university.
Good support system for students, but it is hard to access. Lots of communication across the university, but again if you are looking for specific resources you have to ask.
My experience with Bangor University has been outstanding, the quality of teaching, library services, exciting modules, and career services are amazing. The one thing I would like to improve: is more study spaces. Besides that, BU has amazing sports clubs, societies, volunteering opportunities, and FREE language classes.
Bangor University has a multitude of passionate professors actively working in the field, teaching from experience! It's great to be able to learn in such a hands-on environment.
An amazing place which provides great oppurtunities for student regardless of background and/or any disabilities.
Awful at offering suppirt to students who need help for genuine reasons. It reqyired me to be rushed to A&E and spending 2 days in resus for the university to acknowledge I need support
A lovely supportive university. That always put the students first no matter the circumstances.
Loved the uni itself, haven’t heard a whole lot from the student Union hence the 4 stars but it may be because I just don’t really get involved. I will say Bangor itself, nothing to do really apart from shopping which is not really any good for students and the pier which is nice but quite a long walk from accommodation and not really that fun once you’ve been on it a couple times
The school of health has spent a lot of time developing the organisation of the course since the toll of covid, they offer unconditional support to trainee nurses.
An amazing university which is very diverse and inclusive for anyone who goes. You feel like you're in the best care here with plenty of people you can contact for help whenever it's needed.
Coming to Bangor University for my Msc program is the best decision I ever took because they make study and attending lectures so easy for me. All the lectures are ready to help out if you have any difficulties in your study.
I am enjoying my time at Bangor University.
Bangor University is a great place to study. The school prioritizes the comfort of the student whilst providing all the necessary requirements for a smooth learning process.
I would say that there is ample opportunity in bangor both for accessibility to resources for studying and a social side too, with many societies to join, as well as part time employment opportunities too
Bangor University offers excellent campus facilities for studying and leisure time, my personal favourite has to be the library in the old mains arts building! There is also a huge selection of clubs and societies to join for students to make new friends who share the same hobbies and interests as them. The Careers service was also a great help for me, extremely helpful for students who are looking to explore their career options!
Bangor University has always provided a safe and engaging environment, including all students with various options suited to individual needs. During my first week there, multiple events were held, including sponsorships from local businesses, outdoor cinema, and sports/society sign-ups on different days to accommodate everyone. Most campuses in Bangor are close together and very accessible and my lecturers are extremely helpful, understanding and punctual. Student support is accommodating to every student's individual needs and I have never felt a query/request went unrecognised. Something I would improve on would be more links to career services, I see emails coming through about the careers service however nothing active in my lectures that may help or services current in relevant campuses.
The teaching quality is great, and most of the facilities are too, but some buildings (particularly Fron Heulog) could do with an upgrade! Overall really happy with my choice to study here.
over my three years of learning here, Bangor has been an amazing university, I admittedly have not used all of the services available, however I know that they're most likely very good.
Bangor University is located in a very quiet area suitable for studying. The University has a good reputation and has produced successful students all over the World and some becoming celebrities like Hamza Yassin 's journey started with the University and he has shared his story of the support he got from the University . His story was so touching as he said that if it wasn't for Bangor University he wouldn't have achieved what he has achieved which goes to show that the University tutors are so supportive.
Been studying here for 4 years now and I cannot complain about this university. They have the friendliest and helpful staff and everyone is just great.
Bangor university has a very supportive team for students in every department.. they allot a private Teutor to every student which is very unique because it is very helpful to have a person available every time to you to fix your problems....
A great university and brilliant staff, would recommend to anyone looking to study in the future
Affected tremendously by covid so haven't enjoyed or had the typical uni experience but could have been worse
Not a lot of advertising for societies Live at home in Menai (6min drive from uni). Very isolating and can’t wait to move on and out of uni. Majority of lecturers have been unhelpful and unsupportive.
all around good experience a few complaints but nothing that sticks out.
Good amount of computers to use on campus but would avoid taking your own laptop as the Wifi is not great.
Bangor is fab for student support and learning support needs however factilities in some of the buildings (Fron Heulog) make the space a little difficult to be a student in. There is no eating, kitchen space. Overall super great!
Bangor University has a wide variety of incredible facilities which cater to pretty much every individual and their interests. The sporting opportunities in particular are incredible with a huge variety of clubs and societies for people to join which really shapes your university experience. For those not interested in sports there are also a huge number of other clubs and activities available which people can join. Students are able to put forward ideas to university such as investing in certain areas or creating new clubs. As well as incredible facilities, the lecturers and staff are really helpful and are easy to communicate with which helps if you have any issues or questions. There are a huge number of spaces to study which are key for the academic side of university, some of which are open 24/7 which is a really helpful. Overall Bangor university is an amazing place to study, providing loads of opportunities to develop or expand personal interests and academic capabilities.
Spent four years here, couldn't imagine being anywhere else. Great university, great subject school, and very friendly staff who are always willing to help out.
Bangor is a scenic town and its mainly famous because of the university. I am extremely satisfied with the lecturers and the university accommodation is affordable and safe .
Great university in a great location. They care immensely about the students and make sure everyone feels at home
Welcoming and good vibes. Very scenic place and great views and nature around the city.
In my first year currently and it has been such a beautiful area to come to and the facilities are so helpful.
Bangor University has stand out still in teaching qualities. It is very accommodating and give support to international students. I enjoy the different facilities to study and want to have more of Bangor University after my postgraduate program.
Facilities could be better as well as the wifi
Loved my first year here so far! Great community
One of the best, if not the best university that provides excellent support for International Students.
Great uni! Free clubs and socials.
Brilliant place brilliant uni.
overall good facilities and lots of space to study
Good facilities at the university although the construction work in the courtyard combined with a lack of common space to work in has left the library louder than expected
Bangor University has a wonderful campus area, with very friendly and helpful staff members. There are plenty of areas to sit down and do work, or even to just relax. The campus has very good wifi connection, which is very important when doing uni work and to use as entertainment after classes.
So, before joining Bangor university, I was having no knowledge of what actually education is. Mentors and teachers here are so cooperative and polite and helpful that even if you contact you on bank holidays, they are available immediately.
I'm very much enjoying Bangor Uni. The Psychology department is amazing, giving us access to state-of-the art technology. St Mary's student village is a lovely place to live, although the placement could have been better. We live at the top of a hill that was much higher than I expected. The Pontio building is modern and welcoming, with multiple spaces where students can study quietly and access computers in a comfortable environment. The Main Arts building is beautiful (if a little confusing to learn the layout of), and there are many societies available to join. The only issue is the SU, which is often a little boring. Despite this, I highly recommend Bangor.
The campus and facilities provision is basic. Improvements are needed. No water stations. A few clubs and societies to participate in but not a diverse range. Not enough SU activity. Some help and guidance for onward study or placement/graduate jobs, but really not enough. Very poor internet connection.
Good uni, but no info for year abroad students we are very on our own
Bangor University is a beautiful building however I don’t think they provide enough assistance with regards to year abroad students as well as welcoming new students to the uni.
Being at Bangor has been a great experience so far. Every facility of interest is located within walking distance of the University and first year halls residences. The location itself also boasts amazing veiws and the lectures are always well organised and well presented. Overall a 10/10 experience!
Beautiful location, lovely campus, staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and opportunities for students are great!
I returned to study at Bangor because I KNEW it to be the best university; from swapping stories with other friends and family I know Bangor far surpasses any other university in its support and pastoral care. 10/10.
Bangor university is located in an absolutely beautiful part of the world with Snowdonia and the sea directly on its door step. The university is a brilliant community and offers so many fantastic opportunities to everyone. I love Bangor, the city is great and there is so much academic involvement and brilliant study spaces all over campus!
The Bangor University Campus is pretty nice even though the main building could use some improvement as it is pretty old.
Overall my experience at Bangor university is great. It ranks 401 in World University Ranking by Times Higher Education. This university has a recognised centre of excellence for teaching and research.
Best university ever. Teaching system is very good.
Its pleasure for me to join this university because I love it and its studies is effective.
Bangor university has been an amazing experience. I have spent nearly 5 years here and wouldn’t change it. All staff and facilities have been brilliant.
One of the best universities to pursue your educational career. A lovely place to live, everything is near by. I am enjoying the learning environment of Bangor University.
Compared with other universities bangor does not have the same facilititire for example flats in the friddoedd campus are a bit dated and the student union events are minimal
I’m back in Bangor Uni for my 3rd degree, the mentors have been absolutely fantastic, and always ready to help. I’ve had a range of experiences throughout my studies.
The uni and student services are brilliant, but outsourced admin departments, such as Halls, could be better at communicating with each other and the university as a whole. They could also do with being more respectful when handling delicate matters.
I like bangor university I am student of the bangor university. I like there study life and campus and I like it is location near sea and mountain.
Not a lot there as I am on Wrexham campus. Feel like I’m not part of the uni
My course has a problem with economic diacrimination, they forced me to retake the year because I couldn't come back before January 3 after Christmas
Bangor university is welcoming and a safe community to study and make friendships
Bangor university is in a great location and have a great relationship with students providing support in all areas of student life. Halls of residence is a very reasonable price with great, consistent wifi.
Friendly, social and inclusive university. I spent the first few years online due to covid but met loads of people in my cohort. Lecturers are enthusiastic about their subject and I’ve really enjoyed most of them.
It’s pretty good, could do with more seating areas for students which have enough space for everyone But otherwise gucci
Bangor university is an extremely welcoming community. It now feels like a home away from home, and I can't imagine being anywhere else.
Great support and opportunities to take part in societies of any interest.

Great university in scenic location.
Bangor University is quite informative and provides great help to forward the students careers! From workshop events to free headshots for your LinkedIn profile. Even helping out with understanding how to use LinkedIn effectively. Bangor strives to provide each individual student with the best preparation for their careers
Campus architecture is great! It's like Hogwarts in the Harry Potter movies. The accommodation is very comfortable and the furniture and appliances are basically new.
As a mature student, it was quite a change for me to come back into learning, especially as it was a last-minute decision. Bangor made it so easy and supported me the whole time. Now I am here and loving the course, the lecturers are so enthusiastic. I am now almost finished with my first year and already planning for my masters and future.
Bangor is a great University because the teaching and the support services is excellent. There are many clubs and societies to get involved in. The student union cares about students and University life. There is a good sense of community in Bangor. It is a great place to meet new friends for life!
Facilities are dated and generally oversized and cold. Feels as though staff are trying to get students to drop out an this is echoed by students from previous years.
Overall experience is very good but sometimes international students face problems with finding lectures room due to lack of proper guidance of building layout.
My first year at bangor uni had been amazing! My course is interesting and there is always support available for any issues you may have. The range of online resources is incredible and extremely useful. There is a huge variety of societies and clubs to choose from and tons of events to attend.
Bangor university is great for social activities and career advise, would highly recommend
I think Bangor Uni is amazing. I am studying Applied Terrestrial and Marine Ecology and it is set in the perfect area to do field work or to even enjoy the wildlife in my own time! There are plenty of clubs and societies to choose from and if you are ever troubled with anything, help is only an email away!
Great uni. had issues with flat mates and it was resolved immediately. similarly with issues I had regarding my mental health needs
Outstanding facilities and welcoming personalities
Moving abroad can be daunting, and I was fairly certain that I wouldn't cope very easily when I planned to study at Bangor University. I thought I wouldn't feel right at home right away and that's acceptable. But to my surprise; pleasant one indeed, I felt belonged! I felt as though I was right at home. That's the comfort you get at this University and to top it all off, the education, the professors, the students, everything fits. It's amazing place to study and I can't imagine being anywhere else!
Bangor University's location makes it so unique. Bangor itself is a small city so getting exploring the surrounding mountains and beaches is essential. Being located on the shores of the Irish Sea is ideal for researching Ocean Sciences.
Overall a good experience. I have enjoyed my time studying here, however there are aspects of some services and amenities where improvement would be beneficial. There is an enormous selection of well run clubs and societies that are run by students. This is fantastic and great for all students. The employability service have been really useful throughout my time at uni, providing workshops and opportunities for all students. They treat and take every student as an individual and have been a great help. Unfortunately wifi can be problematic in certain lecture theatres, as well as some theatres being outdated (not many accessible plugs for laptops). This is not a campus uni, which means it lacks a main student hub one might expect. This can be irritating, especially in high stress times as finding suitable space/area to study is difficult.
Halls are decent and satisfactory, the union is good and there are events every week.
V supportive when emergency strikes, I’m not a huge fan of the subjects we cover but the tutors are clearly knowledgeable about them.
No enough student communal space at all buildings
Bangor University has given me lots of opportunities not only to widen my education, but also to take steps into my career and hobbies. They have a wide range of clubs and things like careers fairs, and the facilities on my course are very impressive, allowing us to do practical's and things of that sort that really add to our learning.
Studied at wrexham campus. Not much there.
Bangor University is a top-notch institution that provides an outstanding learning experience for students. As an alumni, I can attest to the high-quality education and the exceptional academic support that the university offers. The professors are knowledgeable and passionate about their subjects, and they go above and beyond to help their students succeed. The campus is breathtakingly beautiful, with its location between the mountains and the sea providing an ideal environment for studying and outdoor activities. Bangor University also has a vibrant student community, with a range of clubs and societies that cater to different interests. Additionally, the university is committed to sustainability and has taken numerous initiatives to reduce its environmental impact. Overall, I highly recommend Bangor University to anyone seeking a world-class education in a stunning setting.
Such a great experience that after my master I decided to come back to do a PhD!
Within this 3 years school career in Bangor, I feels this school really care about students'academic and mental development.
Great experience for natural science students. Campus library and study spaces leave something to be desired (more space needed). My experience is as a postgrad student so I am not as involved in clubs and societies but there appear to be plenty of options.
