Choose a university that puts students first
EXCELLENT teaching and an outstanding student experience await those who choose to study at Bangor University this September.
The university – rated Gold standard in the Teaching Excellence Framework – has a wide range of courses available, and is also able to guarantee accommodation for all first year students.
Student satisfaction levels are high at Bangor, which was ranked among the Top 10 non-specialist universities in the UK for the third year running in this year’s National Student Survey (NSS).
The survey, a poll of more than 330,000 graduating students from each university in the UK, provides comprehensive feedback on the student experience.
This year, of all the universities that offer a broad range of subjects, Bangor is ranked joint 9th in the UK, with an overall satisfaction rate of 88%.
The all-round focus on students is also reflected in the university’s repeated success in the WhatUni Student Choice Awards, where Bangor University won the Best Clubs & Societies in the UK title for the third year in a row.
This accolade is an endorsement of the university’s all-round studentcentred experience.
The students’ union clubs and societies are free to join, which means all students can benefit from extra-curricular activities that provide opportunities to develop a range of skills that boost employability.
