University Profile
The Bangor University was established in 1884 and has always put great emphasis on maintaining excellence. Situated close to the rugged mountains of Snowdonia and with the sea on our doorstop, Bangor must be one of the most attractive study locations in the UK. We pride ourselves on our friendly and caring atmosphere.
The city of Bangor has a swimming pool, theatre, cinema, art gallery, the Museum of Welsh Antiquities together with two modern shopping centres. The Students’ Union is a focal point for nightlife but there is also a good variety of pubs, restaurants and café-bars in Bangor.
Bangor is easily accessible with good road links to the M6; we are only 2 hours by train from Manchester and 4 hours from London. The high speed ferry from Dublin to Holyhead takes only 99 minutes!
The cost of living in Bangor is relatively low and all first year undergraduates are guaranteed a place in a hall of residence within walking distance of the university.
