Choose the right course for you
Here's a quick overview of our undergraduate Biology courses so that you can compare and find the right fit for you.
Real-world teaching
I don't have many regrets, but not studying at Bangor is one of them.
[0:04]
And I'm incredibly lucky that very early in life I realised that I had this one thing that could always make me feel better.
[0:08]
Didn't matter how low I was plunging, that I had somewhere that I could take myself, where I could reset,
[0:16]
where I could remind myself of where I come from and what is special to me and the things I'm passionate about.
[0:22]
And it doesn't matter if it's up in the mountain or in a in a lake or in the sea.
[0:28]
Those are the things that just reset me.
[0:32]
And so I would say that, you know, you see yourself getting getting down, take advantage of all of the absolute wonders that we have here.
[0:40]
The people, you know, in the nation will travel hundreds of miles to come and see.
[0:45]
You have them right on your doorstep. You might only be here for three years or four years.
[0:49]
Take take advantage of them because it is so, so special.
[0:55]
And, you know, there is nothing that can compare to being up on the Glyderau or the, you know, the Carneddau as the sun is just starting to rise.
[1:04]
Standing on top of Tryfan and looking at all those mountains and just knowing that this right now is
[1:10]
your home and your place - embrace it. You've all made the best decision of your lives in coming here.
[1:15]
And I just want you all to make the most of it, treasure it, use it as best as you possibly can, you know, on your doorstep.
[1:22]
You have natural wonders that almost nobody else at university in this nation has.
[1:26]
So please, please use them to their full extent. And I promise I'll be back and see you sometime soon while you're here.

[0:03] So, so excited! It's so great to meet Steve! It's just such a great opportunity, to even see the
[0:09] Menai Strait in a different way as well.
[0:12] One of the reasons why I chose Bangor initially, was to be in such an area as this
[0:16] There's no better way to spend the afternoon really!
[0:23] We're heading out into the Menai Strait and off to Puffin Island with a group of students of the natural sciences.
[0:28] To get a flavour of the very finest of this area has to offer.
[0:47] Well, so far we've seen kind of all the very best of the wildlife from this part of the world, particularly when it comes to the birds.
[0:53] The ledges are thick, almost every single centimetre is covered with guillemots, a gull...
[0:59] and we've seen gannets and of course puffins as well.
[01:02] I guess this is why I decided to build a relationship with Bangor.
[01:06] What you can see right here. You know, any institution can invest in its infrastructure.
[01:11] Any institution can get bigger buildings or get more teaching.
[01:14] But there's no amount of investing that can get this.
[01:18] Having this on your doorstep is why Bangor is the best place to study natural sciences in the nation.
[01:30] It is fantastic. You know, obviously not just the company with having Steve there, it's seeing the wildlife that we saw the kittiwakes
[01:37] there cormorants the seals and that sort of stuff. Absolutely phenomenal, like once in a lifetime.
[01:41] Steve is such a genuine lovely guy. Yes, absolutely amazing. There's no better place to be.
[01:46] It's been a pretty amazing afternoon. I feel a little bit buffeted and and chilled.
[01:51] But to be able to head out from you know, you can see the University from here.
[01:56] You can see the halls of residence from here. To be a student here and think that you could finish studying,
[02:01] come down and get on a paddleboard or a kayak and head out into the Menai Strait and have this is your way of relieving exam stress.
[02:08] I mean, that just absolutely blows my mind.

Watch - Study Biological Sciences
Take a look what it is like to study Biological Sciences at Bangor including a glimpse of our own Natural History Museum and lab spaces. Our student talks about studying, field-trips and her aspirations after graduating.
Student Profile Amy Stout
鈥淪tudying Zoology听with Animal Behaviour has been an incredible experience, with inspiring lecturers delving into many diverse topics, while surrounded by the amazing biodiversity in North Wales."
Student Profile James Szewczyk
"Zoology with Herpetology provides a wide range of diversity within modules, all of which are really engaging and facilitating."
Student Profile Marcus Jones
"The best thing about studying Biology so far has been the opportunity to go abroad for field trips in Year 2. This massively improved my confidence in talking to staff about work... which has helped considerably this year when working on my dissertation."

Our Research in Biology
We support a vigorous research base in Biological Sciences, including听,听,听,听, fisheries genetics, ancient DNA, evolutionary and conservation biology, biogeochemistry, biohydrometallurgy, plant product biochemistry and (plant) stress physiology, wetland biogeochemistry, neurophysiology of crustaceans, animal responses to stress and applied microbiology.
We receive substantial financial support from Research Councils, charities, government departments, the European Commission, and British and overseas industry. Our postdoctoral base is strengthened by individually-sponsored Fellowships from the NERC and the EC (e.g. Marie-Curie). Our diverse interests facilitate a wide exchange of interdisciplinary ideas and techniques and promote collaborations here at Bangor and with colleagues in other institutions and industry, in the UK and overseas.
