Application Procedures

It is a requirement of Bangor University that all candidates must complete a University application form when applying for a post that is advertised. An application form can be downloaded for you to complete fully by clicking on the links above (available in MS Word or PDF format). To view the PDF application form you will need Acrobat Reader which is available to download free from www.adobe.com and it will enable you to view and print Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files.

Please return this form (along with any other document you may wish to submit e.g. CV / covering letter) to Human Resources by no later than the closing date in the appropriate advertisement:

Short-listed candidates are normally informed within three weeks of the closing date when interviews are to be held and successful candidates offered a post immediately after the interview where possible. Priority will be given to University staff who may be seeking redeployment.

Due to the amount of applications usually received in Human Resources, and in order to keep administration costs down to a minimum, it is no longer a policy of the University to inform candidates who have been unsuccessful in their applications. Anyone applying for a position should therefore assume that they have been unsuccessful if they have not heard from us within 6 weeks of the closing date.

The University is a Registered User under the Data Protection Act 1998. It will only use the personal information provided by yourself in your application form and CV to process your application for the post for which you have applied. All information will be held confidentially, and will only be made available to those involved in the Selection Process.

The Equal Opportunities Data you have provided will be processed separately, and in an anonymous format will only be used for general University wide monitoring purposes; it will not be released to any person involved in the Selection Process for any position in the University.

Under the University's Equal Opportunities Policy all papers relevant to the appointment process will be kept by the University for a period of 12 months, and anyone who believes that their application has been subject to unfair discrimination, should write to me detailing the nature of the complaint.

Bilingual Policy

The University recognises that it has a commitment to enrich the life of the bilingual and bi-cultural society in which it is located. It has therefore developed a clearly stated bilingual policy with regard to the official use of Welsh and English while courses through the medium of Welsh are provided to degree level in a number of subjects. As at other Universities, members of staff are encouraged to take an active interest in the life and culture of the region in which they work. Applicants should appreciate and seek to understand the special nature of Welsh life and culture. Furthermore, the University will, in view of its tradition and location, expect an appointee to work positively within a bi-cultural and bilingual environment and questions to establish this are asked at interviews.

Facilities for learning Welsh are available and every encouragement will be given to those who wish to avail themselves of these.

Thank you for your interest in the University.

Yours sincerely

Lyn Meadows
Director of Human Resources
