What makes us different

Student support is our priority
From Peer Guides to help you settle during your first weeks here, to help with managing your budget and mental health advice - you’ll be given as much help and support you need.  

Guaranteed Accommodation
Both our student villages are within easy walking distance of most University buildings and the city centre. We guarantee a place in halls for full-time, first-year students who apply within the given timeframe (conditions apply). 

Stunning surroundings 
Situated between the mountains of Snowdonia and the sea, the many attractions of the area for sports enthusiasts are obvious. Even if you’re not the outward-bound type there’s still plenty to explore in the surrounding area.

Free Membership of over 150 Clubs and Societies
Our award-winning Students' Union clubs and societies are all free to join. We have over 150 to choose from so there is plenty to keep you busy in your spare time.
 

"Bangor has become a home away from home in the last year, it's a wonderful place to study. I feel fully supported by both my peers and lecturers. I'm certain there's no place quite like it."
