Learning for Everyone – Build Skills, Meet People, Try Something New
Bangor University offers a wide, and growing, range of short courses, CPD, and flexible learning opportunities designed to fit around your life.
We’re proud to support lifelong learning by making education accessible to everyone, with our community courses delivered as
part of the Grŵp Llandrillo Menai Lifelong Learning Framework, supporting accessible learning opportunities across North Wales.
Our community courses aren’t just about gaining qualifications; they’re also about bringing people together. Through strong links with
adult and community learning initiatives across North Wales, we help create welcoming spaces where learners can build skills,
share experiences, and feel part of a wider learning community.
Whether you’re looking to develop professionally, try something new, or reconnect with learning, our courses are designed to
support you at every stage. Many of our community learning courses are delivered in the evenings and are
free to attend, making it easier to balance learning with work, family, and other commitments.
