Bangor University is a great place to be, a great citadel of knowledge with great tutors and amazing methods of learning. Bangor University has nice environment suitable for learning. Bangor University is the best I’ve seen.
Bangor University is surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery in the UK. It has many interesting societies which are free to join. The outdoor sport societies are extremely well equipped being in such a perfect location.
As a student, I had an incredibly positive experience studying at Bangor, and I would highly recommend the university to others. One of the main strengths of Bangor University is its focus on research-led teaching. This approach ensures that students are taught by leading experts in their fields, which provides a high level of education and helps students keep up-to-date with the latest developments in their disciplines. Furthermore, the university's research centres and institutes are engaged in cutting-edge research across various subject areas, creating exciting opportunities for students to participate in research or learn from world-leading experts. The university offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs, catering to various academic interests. For example, I am majoring in the sciences and found that the faculty was highly experienced and committed to ensuring that students had access to the latest research and laboratory facilities.
Bangor University is one of the best universities to study. The excellent place is surrounded by a green atmosphere and a sea. The buildings are attractive and have ancient architecture. Experienced and supportive professors, advanced technology, and many services and facilities make Bangor complete.
The student union are visible on campus and very interactive and assistive in social and sundry activities. The University IT is good and prompt in resolving IT related problems and helps provide uninterrupted service on campus. The teaching staffs and non academic staffs are friendly accommodating and assistive. The environment is good and enjoyable
Active, a wide range of international students, gorgeous, attractive, perfect teachers
An excellent university, that has much to offer a mature student. The support has been inspirational and I feel like I belong on the course having much support from my peers and the support systems available to me. My journey is positive and I have noticed personal and academic growth.
Bangor University is such a good and nice place for international students and bangor city is such a booring place. But BUIC is worst place and never recommended to any student.
I’ve had a fantastic first year at Bangor, I really think I’ve made the right choice. They really put a lot of effort into their societies and they’re all free!
This is an amazing place for learning and it's a world ranked university. 99% of students are satisfied with the standard of education
I am so happy I chose Bangor University to study it is the perfect mix of friendly people and pretty places to see the university is located in such a beautiful location a step away from snowdonia National park and also everything you need can be found in the town of Bangor from shops to swimming pools and gyms to resturusnts Bangor is also a stones throw away from the beach and the lovely views on menia bridge the university is fabulous for accommodating people from all walks of life no matter how far you have come from as I am from suffolk so a near 6 hour drive away it’s the perfect place to feel like you have a home from home I love it
Bangor is a very fun community to be a part of the campus is very good with great facilities on it the clubs and societies are all fun amazing groups of people and host so many cool events and the SU do a great job supporting them
Bangor Uni is amazing, especially when I compare it with Bogomolets National Medical University.
Bangor University has a nice main campus and is in a very pretty location. However, it has some issues of a smaller school like somewhat struggling facilities although the courses are good. A great range of clubs and societies to get involved in!
Great variety of clubs and societies
Bangor University is an excellent University to be a part of. Placed at the heart of the town the university plays a crucial part in the life of many, The campus are scattered around the town, with clear directions to find where you are looking for. Personally I spent some of my time at the university in the main art building. A historical beautiful building that offered plenty of character. Clubs and societies were on offer with students encouraged to take part. I will look back at my time at this special university fondly.
I have been a student at Bangor university for 5 years now. I can not fault the services they provide. On multiple occasions I have had to seek support from many of the services available including finance department, student support and the IT department. Bangor is a great university and I have really enjoyed my time as a student thus far.
Easy to find. Very good support from staff.
I loved Bangor so much, I came back for a second time around
I have had a good time at the Bangor University and have learnt a lot while studying here.
I live in the campus and I enjoy it, it’s worth the money and there’s no hidden fees you’re not wary about. I’ve not joined a club/society but I heard they’re very welcoming and accept anyone of interested, i enjoy the main arts, including the cafeteria, the library, and the views. It’s very easy to make friends? To study in pontio, to walk around campus, to locate lectures, I’m very happy that I chose bangor.
Studying at Bangor has been great so far. It’s nice to be somewhere less rural than my home with more facilities but also not a super busy, crowded city. The facilities (particularly the labs for ocean sciences and buildings like pontio) are comprehensive, and some buildings have a modern feel while many are older and historical, so you can find somewhere to study that you like. Overall most teaching has been great, and while there are the few times that a lecturer or learning material is not as good as you’d hope, I’ve found it really easy to get in contact with staff and most are really engaging. It helps that the SU are making change for the better as well, so if something isn’t as you’d hope, it’s easy to start change in motion.
The best aspects is that living on campus is extremely easy to go to lectures and all scheduled events, it is easy to go round and there are many things you can do such as walk around the sea etc, as well as this there is also access to the bus to get to and back from Newport. The worst aspect is that there is not that much to do when things are not taking place such as there are not many communal areas for students to meet and chat, as well as this in catered accommodations there is no access to an oven or hob which is kind of annoying when we have to make our own foods on weekends. Apart from that this university is great and I am loving it.
I am based at the Wrexham campus and the facilities are fantastic. I live at the library as it’s so relaxing and makes doing work so much nicer!
A lovely, welcoming environment with excellent lecturers, facilities, and study of the highest calibre.
Three years of good facilities and services provided by the uni as a whole. Societies and clubs are amazing little communities that form into a bigger one at certain events and are free !
Many events/socials held, sometimes the university (tutor, some lecturers and mental health teams) has had bad communication
Good experience when we were in Bangor. Shame we didn't have the usual experience due to Covid.
Good lecturers Decent facilities
Bangor University is a great place to study. It provides amazing study facilities and free societies. It makes room within your timetable for your commitments for your societies as well.
overall, Bangor is not a bad university there are some areas that need improvement, but lecturers are useful and help where they can. Bangor has a lot of good study spaces, however, one of the main ones has become more of a hangout area creating lots of noise and a lack of space actually to do work. The university facilities such as cafes, and shops are cheap and welcoming, as well as offering students cheap meals due to the living crisis. student life, is mainly aimed at those who are willing to participate in activities and social interaction, however, it lacks activities for those with disabilities and or mental health issues.
Fantastic university -back for the third time!
Bangor University is in a great location. It’s got that stepping back in time feel about it. Great place to study. Would recommend anyone wanting a quieter, quality university to apply.
Small community thereby giving it a personal feel with lectures and its environs. Beautiful state of the art buildings and structures. A conducive environment to study.
Good university, they have a strong focus on the wellbeing of the students whilst doing their best to make everything as simple and accessible as possible. The only small complaint I could give is that navigating the campus as a new student is rather difficult.
I think the 5 stars sum everything up. Everything in Bangor is well structured and fully functional.
Bangor University is a great place to study, from its location to its lecturer support. The staff go above and beyond to support you. They listen to student voice and want the best for each individual.
Bangor university is very informative in terms of career facilities, jobs, support and clubs which the university offer themselves as well as outside resources which is good to know when in doubt or when struggling. I have heard hardly anything about students union but was meant to be greeted by one for a tour in welcome week.
Really friendly and welcoming university, the campus is really good and the sports hall and gym is well equipped. Wish there was a pool though.
Has a stunning location, really great lecturers which are always super responsive. Easy to use system for accessing work and catching up on past seminars. Overall good experience
Bangor University is the Best place to study. Teaching method is very Good which is more than meeting the international standard. Course outlines is very good. Campus is located on most beautiful place.
An excellent university. Very supportive teaching staff and supporting staff. Many accredited courses and taught to an exceptional level. Not only is the teaching excellent the support services and the clubs and societies are exceptional and very friendly.
Not the best, working online has been difficult and a lot of self directed study instead of actual lectures. Not a lot of continuity
I do not have a single bad thing to say about Prifysgol Bangor University. It's staff are incredibly helpful, both on matters regarding the course I take and matters regarding general wellbeing. The sheer volume of high-quality societies (That are all free!) was amazing to learn about, and I took part in things I never thought I'd have an interest in. The buildings are incredibly well-maintained. Even things that you'd take for granted, like a constant Wi-Fi connection, and a commitment to being an inclusive and friendly campus. Bangor University is, and this is my honest opinion, as close to perfect as a university could be. Do not take this as someone sucking up with fake praise, I have rarely felt as welcome as I do at Bangor University. The only I reason I haven't given the Students Union and Careers Service directly, is because I've never directly needed them! If I had, I would have given those five stars as well.
Bangor is a perfect spot for students who love an adventure! Just a quick ride across the Menai bridge and you’re on the beautiful Anglesey. All staff are friendly and helpful and the facilities are a wonderful place to study. Overall, nothing to complain about!
Bangor University feels like home. The staff are all lovely and I’ve never had any problems. I love being apart of the university
Wonderful university. The tutors are very kind and there is a lot of academic and professional support. The location is lovely, though a bit far from other places. The clubs and societies are very fun and creative. The accommodation is great, offers many activities, and is well-organised.
Overall it’s okay. They need to listen to their students earlier on. They should give money for PGCE student towards cost of petrol to placements.
The university lectures, clubs and societies are great but the Wi-Fi isn’t the best and the old buildings for accommodation are awful when it comes to energy efficiency and maintenance.
Bangor is a nice university that is relatively easy to figure out and there are many people who are willing to help. Sometimes it is a bit difficult to find the person that I am supposed to speak with about a certain topic, but once I have found them they have always been helpful.
I have studied Adult Nursing at Bangor university and have been very happy with the recourses that the university offers. I have been supported by my lecturers through tutorials and have made use of the online Library facility. The online library service has been valuable since I do not live in Bangor. It is simple to use and even helps with referencing my literature.
free sports and clubs are one of the best aspects that bangor offers, you can try anything you want for free and not spend £100 like at other unis!
Great course. WiFi not so good on normal site, can take a while to connect. Also not a lot of parking space on site there as well.
I love the university i love my course (Marine Biology) i love the societies and clubs but i feel we have lacked a lot of support, an opinion reflected by my classmates.
As an individual with dyslexia and a physical condition the university supported me throught my studies. The university records all in person lectures for you to look back on when writing assignments or to recap content. The university also has a wide range of club and societies with sporting equipment and space available to the students.
Bangor University is quite Helpful and Professors are great for teaching and helping out students.
Bangor is a great university overall, the teaching is of a high standard and I have had a variation of opportunities and made many friends. There is a variety of clubs and societies, which have lot done for them. Many campus facilities are available to students such as study spaces and cafes. The students union could be improved as it is mainly a place for meetings, and there is little space for events to be held there. If it had a bigger space there could be scope for it to become a hub for students and have more facilities and events held there. The location is quite obscure as well and difficult to access for some due to the position in the building. Apart from this, my experience of the university has been overall positive and I would not study elsewhere if given the choice.
It’s a remarkable university in a beautiful town, with brilliant staff and really kind people. I love my time here.
very good, enjoyable, comfortable and as close to home as possible!
Heavily student focused, lots of support from mentors/tutors/lecturers and the student union themselves. Helpful with disabled students like myself and those on the lowest income band also like myself. For these personal issues the university has provided support in lectures, advisors and are open to hearing feedback and any suggestions that you feel would help you. The campus is of a great standard, the wifi is patchy from time to time but fixed easily when getting in contact with IT, they also have an alternative one for anyone struggling with eduroam. Has a wonderful range of shops and cafes that are accessible for everyone, with different price caps such as £2 hot meals for students with low income.
I have only good feelings of my Bangor University experience.I love Bangor university, its a great university with a wide range of facilities(multiple libraries and computer labs).A well professional school specialised in Business, Marketing and Management. I love its location,easy access to nature.I can study in a great location, with great lectures, engaging seminars and workshops. Overall, I would say that Bangor University is a great choice for me, I receiving a quality education under the the great lecturers supervision. All teachers are very loving and supportive. I LOVE BANGOR ❤️
Bangor University is a great university and I feel so supported. There are great facilities to help me thrive in my degree and set me up for the future!
Bangor university has a really good wide range of societies which are free for any of their students as well we are a really good gym with good expensive equipment.
Bangor univeristy is really good and is like a little nice village, especially in ffridd halls.
Great school, a good environment with endless possibilities!
Great, you meet really nice people. A couple of literally chads but they’re easy enough to avoid. Some great lecturers you can really bond with
Bangor is a warm and welcoming community for its students. If you are willing to put yourself out there you can surround yourself with different life experiences from the clubs and societies whilst still upholding a high standard of work. Bangor university is for the outdoor and adventure seeking students, natural science people are sure to find their place here.
A good university surrounded by amazing scenery with well organised clubs however the staff interaction is not very well organised
Amazing university with friendly and safe enviornment for international students. University has best capmus buildings and Halls. International department is always ready to help the students in every way. University has best intellectual and academic resource - be it teachers or Books.
The university supports the student activities a lot. The clubs and societies are all free to join which really encourages students to do more activities and connect with new people.
Bangor university is split across 2 areas (Wrexham and Bangor) The campuses at bangor give a hogwarts vibe with good facilities on offer and society events whereas Wrexham seems forgotton and run down. There is clear divide between the two campuses which can leave Wrexham students feeling out of it. Some of the courses that cross both campuses try and put on events however there is a clear lack of effort on the university side.
Bangor is a great university. I have learned so much and met so many amazing people.
Excellent university, the facilities here such as pontio and the library as perfect - very clean and up to a high standard with fast wifi connections. Staff are very helpful in the university, and prices for the cafes are priced very well also. Clear to get around all the different campuses/lecture halls
Bangor university has given me the opportunity to work towards my dream job. I have done my undergraduate and postgraduates degrees here and I would not have wanted to go anywhere else, this university has left me wanting nothing. The university is small but this gives a sense of community in the area which I believe is not something that is often found in higher education.
Bangor university is in a beautiful location and student life here is good. It's a cheap and cheerful sort of city. Winters are pretty grim but summers are amazing. Good facilities for students.
Bangor University is a fantastic place to live and study, with a great range of places both to work and to relax. Bangor is surrounded by nature on all sides, which is great for headspace and downtime.
Poor access to uni + wifi sometimes! more food please, and more world foods!
I like my time here at Bangor uni. Good facilities and perfect perfect WiFi
I‘m an international student and I felt welcome from the first contact on. The international office is very helpful and plans a lot of trips.
Lovely and friendly University with staff always around to help! The facilities are great on campus, however not much around Bangor anymore!
Great facilities and a variety of societies makes Bangor special
This university has changed my life, the teachers have been amazing and encouraged me throughout the process, they have been amazing and I wouldn’t have my degree without them.
Bangor offers a lot for anyone leaving home for the first time. There is lots of pastoral care and fun activities to get involved in. Plus beautiful buildings and views. It’s a home away from home!
Bangor univeristy is an amazing place to study, fantastic lecturers, brilliant support and incredible clubs and societies
A friendly, welcoming, caring place to be, great range of services and absolutely beauuuuuutiful views when you need some mindfulness! The support from lecturers, peer guids, other students and people on campus is outstanding, a FANTASTIC place to study! Xx
Well organised and excellent staff!
As far as student experience goes Bangor is just about as good as it gets.
Clubs and societies are all free to join and easy to sign up for, never had any internet/wifi problems, campus is regularly updated to maintain good quality
Overall really good but hardly any options for placements for media students
I have only been at Bangor university for the past few weeks studying part time BN of nursing and already I’m well And truly overwhelmed. I have studied at degree level before but can’t remember getting information like I have had here over the past two weeks. First week we had various sessions from library - student union and what was available to us and what was on offer. I’m also receiving various emails to Join various clubs etc. if I was a young full time student again 🤣 I would be in my glory here plenty to do and get involved in and Plenty of advice and help ready to be had, everyone I have met so far have been so friendly, welcoming and helpful.
Bangor University is the best in academic career, Bangor University has good and qualified lecturers, conducive learning facilities and learning environment.
I'd have more than likely rated the other things as 5* had I used them more. Bangor university has been fantastic in making me feel welcome and part of the school over my first year. The staff are always helpful and go above and beyond for each student.
This is my first year study with Bangor . I am pleased with the course lay out and had a fantastic welcome week
My experience at Bangor University has been amazing. The lectures on my course have been very helpful and there is always so much to do.
Bangor offers a lot of different society’s and the student union are always keeping us updated with what’s happening and new events. Bangor is really supportive with finding employment. Great university experience
Great campus and supportive staff
I have enjoyed my time at Bangor University. There are a great number of sports clubs and societies all free to join. I have been a part of many and met my best friend in my first year which is nice people who connect with you share the same interests and goals each with different experiences to learn from and support one another.
Staff and students are all very friendly and provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere for the university. Excellent facilities.
