Official Bangor 2025 Applicant Thread

•

I'm currently studying Animal Management at college but the Science pathway.

•

I have 3 offers from Bangor - but my main course interest is Marine Biology and Zoology because I love the combination of both industries, I adore all animals but do especially favour the ocean and its ecosystems and believe that this industry could result in plenty more job opportunities in the future due to climate change and global warming!

•

my GCSE's were mainly average so no point mentioning lol, however currently predicted DDD for my Animal Course.

•

Since first discovering what I wanted to do and Bangor, I felt drawn to Bangor, and after the open day I realised I belonged there, the facilities for marine and biological sciences was amazing. The students seemed like they enjoyed it and I feel like it has a mix of good people and great vibes!

•

No exams required! Yay

•

Already attended an Open Day in June and loved it! Also attending the applicant day in February to get a better look at accommodation and more.

•

I am so excited yet nervous at the same time, I feel like it will be an amazing new start and can't wait to make new friends and moving out into my own little room with others but I will definitely miss home.

•

I have also been interested in Chester and Myerscough but overall I do prefer Bangor!

1.

I did Music, History and English Lit for A level, last June (took a gap year) and got AAB. I also have my Grade 8 piano with distinction, and am working on my diploma which is in March.

2.

I have applied for History and Music BA, just waiting for offers to come through now.

3.

I got 4A*s, 4As and a B at GCSE - I'm from NI so we still have letter grades.

4.

I chose Bangor, because I liked the course and it isn't offered particularly widely, plus the campus is lovely.

5.

I don't have to sit any tests, but I'm debating going for a merit scholarship for music.

6.

I attended the open day in November, and would heartily recommend if you are not entirely sure about Bangor, or indeed, any university for that matter.

7.

I do feel quite nervous about starting uni, specifically the financial side and self-sufficiency side, any tips on how to become university ready would be much appreciated.

8.

I also applied to Glasgow, Southampton, Sheffield and Liverpool Hope university.

Best wishes to everyone with upcoming mocks and examinations,
God Bless x

1.

I'm currently studying Applied Science, Business, Psychology, and an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).

2.

I’m hoping to study Midwifery at Bangor University. I’ve always been passionate about supporting women and I believe Midwifery is the perfect way for me to make a real difference in people’s lives.

3.

I’m predicted a Distinction in Applied Science, a A in Psychology, and a B in Business.

4.

Bangor University is my top choice because of its incredible location. I love the area with its beautiful beaches and mountains. I’ve visited Bangor a few times already, and it honestly feels like a second home to me. Plus, the bursary scheme suits my plans for after I finish studying, and the facilities, especially the simulation suite, are something I’m really looking forward to using during my training.

5.

I hope to attend the applicant's day once I get an offer, though I’ve already booked myself in for one.

6.

I’m genuinely excited about the possibility of studying at Bangor. It’s definitely my top choice, and I really hope I get in. The university and the area feel like the right place for me, and I can definitely see myself living there for the next few years while I study.

7.

While I’m excited about the opportunities at other universities, Bangor is definitely my top choice because of its unique location, great facilities, and the sense of community I feel when I'm there.
