About Bangor University
Bangor University (Welsh: Prifysgol Bangor) is a public research university in Bangor, Gwynedd, Wales. It was established in 1884 as the University College of North Wales (UCNW; Welsh: Coleg Prifysgol Gogledd Cymru), and received a Royal Charter in 1885. In 1893 it became one of the founding institutions of the federal University of Wales. In 1996, after structural changes to the University of Wales, it became known as the University of Wales, Bangor (UWB; Welsh: Prifysgol Cymru, Bangor). It became independent of the University of Wales in 2007, adopting its current name and awarding its own degrees. The university has over 10,000 students across three academic colleges and eleven schools, as well as several large research institutes. Its campus makes up a large part of Bangor and extends to nearby Menai Bridge as well, with a second campus in Wrexham teaching some healthcare courses. Its total income for 2022/23 was £178.0 million, of which 19% came from research grants, and it has an endowment of £8.2 million. Its alumni include several fellows of the Royal Society, as well as heads of state and Nobel Prize winners.
