BANGOR UNIVERSITY
College Status: We look forward to welcoming our current and new students this month. Our College will remain open and provide a blended delivery model.
Admissions Open: January 2021 / October 2021
The University has put in place extensive measures to protect both staff and students from September 2020. Teaching was redesigned to provide a blended approach with online learning and in person face to face where it was safe to do so. The campus itself underwent extensive adaptations to enable students to study in a Covid secure environment.
The University has developed an app which our students use to check-in to all of the activities they participate in on campus, teaching and social. This provides us with a rich source of intelligence for the University and TTP colleagues, and it confirms that social activities, rather than participation in teaching activities, appears to be the key source of infection. We will therefore be continuing our Covid secure teaching activities; this will however be kept under review.
The university has also provided information for international applicants and offer holders and what they are planning.

The University will continue with the blended learning approach that they have taken to date.
