You too can be a part of impactful research at Bangor with the university being renowned for research into industries like accounting, electronic engineering, sports science and psychology. In fact, the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF, 2021) recognised 85% of Bangor’s research as being either world leading or internationally excellent.

Student Life

There is plenty to do in Bangor with bars, cafes and shops in the city centre and lots of activities on our doorstep for those seeking adventure. Students living in halls can join in with Campus Life events, designed to help you settle in and make friends. From yoga to open mic nights, there are a range of events taking place throughout the year.
