Described as the best university setting in the UK by the Independent, Bangor University is situated by the sea and mountains in north Wales. The university offers a variety of courses in the arts, humanities and sciences. With close links to NHS Wales, Bangor is a major provider of training and education in this industry.
Bangor Business School is a leading European centre for banking and finance and sits within the top 50 in the world according to Research Papers in Economics' 2020 rankings. Students in this area receive education from experts in the field, with lecturers in this faculty having written material for text books and worked for respected financial and government institutions themselves.
A unique feature of the Bangor experience is that the majority of its courses give students the option to add in a year abroad – for either a year of study or work. There are also options to take up an internship or summer school placement for a shorter period abroad. This flexible opportunity, which students can investigate and decide on once they’ve started their course really enhances employability opportunities and helps students to become adaptable individuals.
