Bangor University was established in 1884 and has a long tradition of academic excellence that continues to this day. In 2006-7, Bangor's success in grant capture relative to staff numbers placed us in the top 30 Universities in the UK. We have exceptionally high standards across a wide range of subjects, reflecting the University’s huge commitment to research and postgraduate expansion. A multi-million pound investment in new academic posts and facilities is further strengthening teaching and research at Bangor.
