We have over 10,000 students, 23 academic Schools grouped in to 6 Colleges and over 650 teaching staff.
Bangor is rated top in Wales and is in the top 15 of UK universities for teaching excellence according to the Sunday Times University Guide 2012, (Sept 2011).
The University consistently performs well in student surveys: Bangor ranked 14th in the UK in the Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey 2011 and has been placed in the top 10 for the WhatUni? Student Choice Awards in Accommodation 2011.
A £20m redevelopment of the campus has taken place, including a £10m business and management centre and a building for environmental sciences.
To meet the high demand of contemporary living accommodation the University in recent years has opened new halls of residence as part of a £35M upgrade at the Ffriddoedd Site.
