Study or Work Abroad
Traditionally, British students would go abroad during their second year of university and would transfer back to Bangor the credits they had gained. Bangor has introduced a new system whereby you can apply to take an 'International Experience Year' once you have commenced your studies at Bangor. On successful completion of your four-year degree you will graduate with 'International Experience Year' added to your degree certificate.
In previous years SENRGy students have gone on exchanges to the University of British Columbia, Canada (Forestry); University of Bergen, Norway (Environmental Conservation); Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan (Environmental Science); University of Maine, USA (Geography).
