Why study at Bangor?
Cheap and safe location in which to live and study
The cost of living in Bangor is lower than in many other university cities, making Bangor an affordable choice for both undergraduate and postgraduate study. In fact, a cost-of-living survey published in The Independent newspaper rates Bangor as the second best value place to study in the UK.
Students have further piece of mind knowing that North Wales, the area in which Bangor is located, has one of the lowest crime rates throughout the whole of the UK.
Scholarships and Bursaries
We are delighted to be able to offer a number of School scholarships to applicants. Please visit the undergraduate and postgraduate pages for further information. In addition, the University’s International Education Centre offers a further range of scholarships and bursaries to International applicants. For further information visit the International Education Centre’s website.
A friendly student city in a stunning location
Bangor is fortunate enough to have one of the most beautiful and scenic university settings in the whole of the UK. Located between the spectacular Snowdonia mountain range and the Menai Straits, Bangor is a paradise for students who love the outdoors or sports, being well-equipped for activities such as paragliding, surfing, kayaking, fell running, dinghy sailing, mountain biking and rock climbing.
With a multicultural student population of over 10,000 students (12% of whom come from overseas), Bangor is very much a student-orientated city. Its compact nature means that it is easier to settle down and meet up with new friends.
Student Profile
Bsher Altaher from Libya studied the LLM in International Law at Bangor...
"I chose to study at Bangor because of the location - the university has such a beautiful campus and everything is really close by. The Law school is located in an ideal place with nice views of the Menai Straits on one side and the Snowdonia mountains on the other.
The lecturers are all experts in their fields and very experienced, and therefore able to give good guidance to students. Students gain a lot of experience through practical tasks and related field trips. The use of modern techniques and up-to-date teaching materials mark Bangor out from the rest of the competition. I would also add that the overall student experience offered by Bangor makes the study experience all the more rewarding.
What makes Bangor different is that the Law School is built up of a concentrated number of highly dedicated courses – International Law is just one of them. There is a close-knit community of law students across all years, and getting to know your teachers, classmates is easy. This means you always have someone – whether it is a classmate or a member of staff – to approach if you have a problem.
Studying at Bangor Law School has given me a lot of unique opportunities, enriched my knowledge and helped me develop in a way that no other School possibly could. Not only have I made great friends along the way, but I have had the opportunity to learn from everyone in the School (the teachers especially) and I’ve enjoyed every class. The lecturers’ passion for their subjects is contagious. I would definitely recommend this programme to any student wanting a challenging and rewarding Masters and career."
