How To Apply

To apply you need to visit the UCAS website. Use the Code B06 to apply for Bangor University.

APPLY VIA UCAS

We advise you to apply as early as you can as we will start considering applications and making offers straight away.

For 2024 entry, the initial UCAS deadline is 31 January 2024, however we welcome applications after this date. Applications received between 31 January and 30 June will continue to be forwarded to universities by UCAS and will receive consideration where places are still available.

Student applying to Oxford, Cambridge and most courses in medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine/science are required to apply earlier in mid-October.

As part of your profile on UCAS, you’ll need to write your personal statement. This is a very important part of the application.

The UCAS personal statement is an important part of your application. This is where you get to persuade the university that they should accept you onto your chosen course. You only get 4,000 characters to explain why you want to study the course and the skills or experience you have that are essential for university study.

To write a winning personal statement you must have a good understanding about the course and what you’ll be studying. Remember that you write only one personal statement for your five choices so make sure that the courses are similar, if not the same, and make sure that you don’t mention a specific course or university.

HOW TO DRAFT A WINNING PERSONAL STATEMENT AND WATCH OUR VIDEO

Bangor University is committed to widening participation in Higher Education (HE) and accepts students from a broad range of backgrounds.

To support students into Higher Education, we use a number of indicators to identify students who may be at a disadvantage in their ability to access Higher Education, in order to provide additional support.

Find out more about contextual admissions
