Services to Schools

Bangor University offers a range of activities for schools and colleges, with the aim of increasing awareness of Higher Education and encouraging young people to consider the opportunities available to them. These activities range from pre-application advice and guidance talks to interactive sessions aimed at raising the aspirations of younger pupils.

The following are some of the activities which your school might be interested in:

  • For Years 12 & 13
  • For Younger Pupils
  • Residential Visits
  • Student Mentoring
  • Training Teachers

For Years 12 and 13

Pre-application advice and guidance/Schools liaison talks

Presentations on Bangor University and advice on preparing for Higher Education are offered by the University’s Schools Liaison Officers. The topics covered include; How to choose, Where to choose; Completing the UCAS Form; Preparing your Personal Statement; Preparing for interviews.

Arrange for us to come to a careers fair, give a talk or visit Bangor University.

Student-led activities

Current Bangor students can visit your school to lead a question-and-answer session on student life and what it’s like to study at University.

Visits to the University

A tailored programme is drawn up for each school wishing to bring a group of pupils (or the whole year group) on a visit to Bangor. The activities available include talks by particular academic departments; guided tours of the campus (including student accommodation and sports facilities); a visit to/presentation by the Students’ Union; workshops/presentations on team-building, graduate careers, study skills and progression to Higher Education. The visits can be either day-long visits or residential visits.

For Younger Pupils

Bangor University is actively involved in attempts to increase and widen participation in Higher Education and our Talent Opportunities Programme is one of the largest widening access programmes in the country. It involves over 1500 pupils in schools across North Wales.

Bangor is also one of ten institutions who are partners in the Community University of North Wales, a partnership committed to helping people make changes in their lives through getting a better education. Through this partnership, Bangor helps to widen participation by the Reaching Higher, Reaching Wider programme.

The University also regularly arranges activities and hosts visits by schools/LEAs involved in initiatives such as Excellence in Cities.

The type of activities that can be arranged for schools who want to raise the aspirations of younger pupils and introduce the concept of going on to Higher Education include:

ACE Workshops

Aiming for a College Education (ACE) workshops are student-led workshops focusing on the benefits of Higher Education. By working in small groups and participating in various group exercises, pupils are introduced to issues such as the differences between school and university; the variety of entry routes into HE; the personal development associated with going to university; and themes related to student life.

Study Skills

Usually delivered by PGCE students, the study skills sessions cover issues such as time management, revision skills and teambuilding, and are suitable for Years 9–11.

Visits to the University

A school bringing a group of younger pupils on an aspiration-raising visit to the University would usually be offered a broad programme consisting, for example, of a visit to an academic department, a guided tour of the campus (including student accommodation and sports facilities), and a general introduction to university and student life.
