Do I need to speak Welsh at Bangor?
Welsh is very much a language for everyone at Bangor. From fluent speakers to those who are learning a few words and phrases or just enjoying hearing and seeing a different language to their own, we all benefit from this rich linguistic and cultural community.

Croeso! Welcome to Bangor!
Here at Bangor the Welsh and the English language are both used, and we're extremely proud to be one of the world's most bilingual universities. Of course, there's no expectation for you to be able to speak or understand Welsh, but here is and idea of what you can expect while living in a bilingual environment.
Bangor is located in Gwynedd, which is the county with the highest percentage of Welsh speakers in Wales. And ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ is proud to use and support the language. In the university itself, around 1 in 5 of our students speak Welsh, and many staff members are able to help and support them in both languages.
Around the city, you'll notice that Welsh and English are both used naturally as day to day languages. And you may notice that many of your peers choose to study and complete assignments through the medium of Welsh.
If you're interested in learning Welsh, you can take a module or an online course during your time at university. Or you can pick up a few simple phrases, such as "Shw'mae", "Bore Da"and "Diolch".
Whichever way you choose to live your university life, we hope you'll enjoy being a part of a truly bilingual community. A community that everyone's welcome to be a part of.
