BANGOR UNIVERSITY
College Status: We look forward to welcoming our current and new students this month. Our College will remain open and provide its classes online wherever possible for new and returning students.
Admissions Open: April 2021/June 2021/October 2021
In line with Government advice, from 8th February all lectures were shifted online with some other learning activities (e.g. seminars, laboratory practicals) continuing on-campus for some students, depending on the nature of their course. Students are not required to be on-campus unless students have a mandatory on-campus session with no online alternative available.
Students who have returned to their term time address can access the facilities and services that support their learning and on-campus experience, and the University does not want to prevent this. Students who opt not to return immediately will be able to access on-campus activities online.
This is set to continue for the period until Friday 26 March.
