Bangor Wales Arcadia
Award-winning teaching in a supportive community, surrounded by stunning natural beauty

Bangor University is located between the snow-capped mountains of Snowdonia and the rugged, beautiful coastline of North Wales. Its quality of education, excellent teaching, and thriving student community makes for a vibrant semester in one of the world’s most scenic places. Enroll in classes across Bangor's variety of academic departments, including ones that host world-class research. Study here and experience a part of the world steeped with Arthurian myths and legends—Wales offers lots to explore, with thousand-year-old castles and medieval cities such as Chester and York within easy traveling distance. Big cities like London, Liverpool, Manchester, and Dublin are just a few hours away. If you are a student looking for an immersive experience, enjoy independence, and are attracted to the lifestyle of an affordable smaller city with a mix of friendly, rural, and urban living, then Bangor could be just what you’re looking for.
 
  • As an Arcadia study abroad student, you will also have the support of Arcadia staff in the London Center to help you settle in and enjoy your semester.
 
  • Bangor hosts the largest Ocean Science Department in Europe. Spring semester students have the opportunity to study on Bangor’s ocean-going research vessel and research center on the Isle of Anglesey.
 
  • Bangor ranks first in the United Kingdom for clubs and societies, providing hundreds to choose from. You can get involved in a diverse area of activities, projects, volunteering, clubs, and sports teams. The university provides outstanding sports facilities for a variety of athletic and outdoor pursuits, as well as the Pontio Arts Centre for professional tours and an on-campus movie theater.
