Study abroad at Bangor

Bangor is an enchanting, historic cathedral and coastal university city in North Wales, nestled between the breathtaking mountains of Snowdonia National Park (Eryri) and the waters of the Menai Strait and Isle of Anglesey. Bangor is home to Bangor University (founded in 1884 by royal charter, awarded Gold in the UK Teaching Excellence Framework TEF, and ranked in the top 10 in the UK for Student Satisfaction). Bangor University is world-famous for its School of Ocean Sciences (one of the largest marine research centers in Europe with its own ocean-going research vessel Prince Madog), School of Psychology, School of Environmental and Natural Sciences, Bangor Business School, School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, and the North Wales Medical School (MB BCh Medicine). Degrees are taught 100% in English within the British higher education system. International students benefit from some of the lowest student living and rental costs in Britain, safe and friendly community, and direct UK Student Visa (CAS) support.

Tuition fees in Bangor for international undergraduate students range from £16,500 to £20,500 per academic year for Arts, Business, Computer Science, Marine Biology, and Psychology, while postgraduate Master's degrees range between £17,000 and £21,500 per year (with generous International Scholarships offering up to £4,000–£5,000 tuition discounts). Campus halls of residence (Ffriddoedd Village, St Mary's Village) cost between £420 and £680 per month (inclusive of all utility bills, gym membership, and high-speed Wi-Fi), while private rental student flats in the city center range from £450 to £750 per month. General monthly living expenses range between £650 and £1,050.

International non-UK students require a UK Student Visa (formerly Tier 4). Bangor University issues the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) upon acceptance of offer and deposit payment. Applicants submit the CAS statement, proof of financial maintenance (minimum £1,023 per month for up to 9 months outside London), and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) for NHS healthcare coverage in Wales.
