Student Ambassadors

Everyone in Bangor has been very supportive, welcoming and friendly from the international student support team to lecturers and tutors.

The Welsh and the people living in Bangor are just very accommodative and down to earth, making it very easy to blend in with society.

As a PhD student I have many opportunities, as well as my research: The best thing is that I can join any module that I think is relevant to my work

Bangor University is the most awarded university in Wales for clubs and societies opportunities. Currently, I am the president of the Bulgarian society, but I constantly discover and take part in different clubs and societies.

The staff at Bangor are really helpful and supportive, regardless of the issues students face. The International Office work really well, and there are always plenty of support staff and fellow students around to help everyone.

For me, Bangor is the perfect place to study, to connect yourself with nature and to open your mind by meeting people from all over the world.

The great thing about Bangor is proximity. Everything is within a walking distance. The cost of living here is low compared to other cities and the people here are very friendly.

After having a great experience doing my undergraduate and master’s degree, I had no hesitation in choosing Bangor for a PhD.

The school has excellent lecturers, labs, training facilities and research supervision.

There are plenty of positive things I can mention such as it’s a quiet place to concentrate and study without any distractions, life expense can be lower and reasonable, and the people are very welcoming.

The Lecturers are so passionate about the subject that it is inspiring.  Staff are friendly and helpful and they are always willing to help you.

The best thing about the Design and Technology with QTS course is that lecturers are highly experienced and passionate in the area they teach, which makes learning not only effective but valuable for our future career.

Prospective students will definitely find Bangor welcoming because it is a friendly community and the people are always ready to assist and support to make them feel at ease.

The Bangor Business School is a great, supportive, multi-diverse establishment made up of very supportive lecturers who guide students through their academic journey.

The town is walkable, the air is clean, the people are warm and willing to help. There are lots of shopping discounts for students so the lifestyle is not expensive.

I am involved with the Afro Caribbean Society, where I get to meet people who share the same culture. I love dancing, and it is an opportunity for me to meet new people and to socialise.

I have joined several, I love playing badminton and I have joined the badminton society.

International Ambassador Scheme allows an individual to engage with the new and existing students, share their experience and help them in making their University life easy.

I very much enjoy exploring nature in the company of my friends. The location of the university is beautiful, with a variety of breath-taking landscapes within easy reach.

I chose Bangor University because of wide variety of courses in the history and archaeology field and the very positive feedback provided by a Romanian student already studying here.

There is a lot of support is given, whether it is from the university or from the International Student Support Office or from my Personal Tutor.

Moving to a new city or new country can be intimidating at first but there are many around who are willing to help. Keep an open mind and enjoy this new journey!

How friendly and helpful the people are. How accessible everything is. The picturesque views and atmosphere of the town.

My advice is this is the best time to enjoy your life in a meaningful way. Never be afraid to try things out which new for you.

With great professionals in the field of languages and linguistics, I have been able to develop a strong passion as I kept discovering more things I enjoy to do.

Bangor is a truly stunning town. It is also a town that, as a student moving to it you do not lose yourself completely. By that I mean, it is a town where you can turn a familiar face from a lecture into a friend.

Don’t be shy to ask for help. Mostly everyone is very welcoming and friendly in Bangor. It may seem like a small town but there are a lot of things to do, especially if you are an outdoor person. You are going to meet a lot of great people so try to open up a little.
