Our diverse courses across the arts, humanities, and sciences give you the space to deepen your expertise and grow with confidence.

Bangor is home to cutting-edge research and state-of-the-art facilities — from our research vessel and MRI scanner to our climatic chamber, Natural History Museum, and Botanic Gardens. These resources empower our researchers and students to push boundaries and make a real impact.

In the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021), 85% of our research was rated world-leading or internationally excellent, placing us second in Wales for research impact. Across sustainability, low-carbon innovation, preventative health, technology, and the arts, our researchers are shaping solutions to global challenges.
