Living in Bangor... When I typed Bangor, North Wales into Google, I found that the city is known as ‘The City of Learning’, I thought

to myself, why not be a part of this learning? As my search went on I discovered that Bangor University is well established and was founded in 1884.

I knew I would be studying miles away from home, so I wanted the University to be like a second home and I really felt like it was my home away from home. The warm welcoming culture of the people around, the greenery and the structure, everything was so perfect that I fell in love with the place.

Accommodation...

Where you live while you’re at university is an important part of your overall experience. The Accommodation for Students survey placed Bangor in the top three universities in Britain for quality of location and facilities.

University residencesYou can chose from 22 halls of residence across 3 diff erent sites. We guarantee all fi rst year undergraduate students a place in University accommodation provided you apply in plenty of time. All University owned rooms / fl ats include:

Single study bedroomsSelf-catering with shared kitchens and on-site launderette facilitiesFree wired internet access24 hour securityAdapted accommodation available for students with special needs / disabilitiesInsurance coverCommunal areas cleaned weeklyEn-suite rooms availableHalls for postgraduates

You will have your own study bedroom. Bangor University does not have shared rooms or dormitories. Each room has a bed, desk, chair, wardrobe and storage.

It is possible for students to be accommodated in single sex groups in a number of halls. Students who would prefer this option should make this request when applying for accommodation.

All accommodation in the University is self-catered which gives you the option of buying meals at any of the site outlets or preparing your own. Self-catered accommodation gives you the freedom and fl exibility to eat what you want, when you want and works especially well if you prefer to eat food similar to the food you eat at home. Bangor has a number of supermarkets and shops selling food from all over the world.

Close to campusAll the residential sites in Bangor are within walking distance of the city centre and main university departments. Our halls are so convenient you won’t have to spend your money on travelling to and from halls.

SafetyOne of the advantages of living in University accommodation is the support you are off ered. Each residence has Hall Wardens and security offi cers providing 24 hour assistance. You also have the reassurance that you will be sharing with other students who are in the same position as yourself.

How much does it cost?University accommodation at Bangor costs from £71-£117 per week (prices for 2012-13). Contract length for undergraduates is 40 weeks and 51 weeks for posgraduates. University accommodation is very good value as the costs include heating, lighting and hot water, electricity, security, furniture and internet access so you don’t have to budget extra for these amenities.

How do I reserve accommodation?Information about accommodation will be sent to you in May once you have fi rmly accepted an off er to study at Bangor.

Coming to Bangor with your familyCurrently the university does not own any family accommodation. Students attending Bangor with their families should contact the halls offi ce for assistance in fi nding accommodation in the private rented sector. The student housing offi ce in student support services can also off er guidance in fi nding private accommodation.

Information for Postgraduate Research ApplicantsIn this rapidly changing world, a Postgraduate research course can be used to serve many different needs and give you that extra edge that today’s employers are looking for. Whatever your own academic or professional goals, Bangor University’s long tradition of academic excellence will help to get you there.

MPhil/PhD studyA PhD usually takes 3 years to complete on a full-time basis and 4-5 years if studied as a part-time programme. To obtain a PhD you are expected to conduct independent research that will make an original contribution to knowledge about that particular subject and present this in the form of a thesis.

A MPhil will usually take 2 years to complete on a full-time programme and 3-5 years as a part-time programme. Research at MPhil level should represent an extension of existing knowledge, although the demands of originality are less than that for a PhD.

MResThe Research Masters degree is more research-orientated than a normal taught Masters programme, usually consisting of 120 credits research and 60 credits taught (66% / 34%). It is seen to be a good route into PhD level study.

Bangor has a strong research base across a spectrum of academic disciplines engaging in research at national and international levels. The University provides strong support for research activities including encouraging links with commercial and industrial bodies in the UK and overseas.

You can view a full list of research opportunities by subject area at: www.bangor.ac.uk/research/researchpages

Applying for a PhD or MPhilIf you are applying for a PhD /MPhil you need to have a good idea of the specific area or theme that you want to research. Before applying check the specialist area you wish to study is covered by a member of staff at Bangor by looking at our staff web pages at: www.bangor.ac.uk/courses/postgrad/research/specialisms This will provide you with a breakdown of each staff members area of academic focus.

Once you have found a member of staff whose research interests broadly match you own, you should contact them directly with a concise research ‘brief’ that outlines your proposal and ask whether he/she would consider supervising your project. If the academic expresses his/her interest, you may then further discuss your ideas and develop a full PhD/MPhil research proposal.

At this stage, you should formally apply for the PhD/MPhil programme using the form available at www.bangor.ac.uk/courses/postgrad/apply You should fill the form out thoroughly, including academic references, your research proposal and the name of the academic member of staff under whose supervision you intend the research to be conducted.

Postgraduate research...

The purpose of your proposal is to show that you have a relevant theme, a viable project and the competence to carry it out. The information is vital when we evaluate your proposed study and decide if we have the right staff expertise to supervise you.

The format and length of the proposal is likely to vary according to the type of project. Typically a proposal is no less than 1500 words (3-4 pages) long and will cover the following points.

TitleThis should be concise and descriptive.

Background

You should explain the context for your research, the issues it is concerned with, and the reasons why the research is important and original. You may need to describe how it builds on your previous academic work or professional experience. You must include references to the existing research and scholarly literature in your field of research.

Statement of the problem or research questions.Clearly formulate the problem you propose to research. This should be expressed as an answerable question, or set of questions. The problem should be substantial but manageable within the timescale of a research degree and it should have originality.

Design of the projectDescribe how the project will be structured and where it will take place. Key design decisions (say between experimental, comparative, longitudinal or case study approaches) should be justified according to the way in which you have defined the research problem. If your project will be testing hypotheses you should state them here.

MethodologyIn this section describe your approach to collecting and analysing data. A proposal may plan to use existing data, gather primary data or do both. Explain the procedures and techniques you plan to use; the nature of the data; the methods of data sampling and collection; sources of information. Here you will demonstrate your knowledge of alternative social scientific methods and make the case that your approach is the most suitable for your research question. Consider questions of access to data sources and the skills that you will need to carry out the research.

Resources and ethical clearanceWill your research comply with the agreed international standards for good practice in social research? Using published ethical guidelines show that you are aware of the specific documents and clearances you will need.

Project managementYou should map out a schedule for your project, from the start date onwards, showing when you expect to conduct periods of fieldwork (if applicable) and the time required for data analysis and writing up your results.

ReferencesYou should include a list of the references cited in your proposal, using Harvard notation. This will be useful for potential supervisors to evaluate your knowledge of the research topic.

Information for Postgraduate Research ApplicantsIn this rapidly changing world, a Postgraduate research course can be used to serve many different needs and give you that extra edge that today’s employers are looking for. Whatever your own academic or professional goals, Bangor University’s long tradition of academic excellence will help to get you there.

MPhil/PhD studyA PhD usually takes 3 years to complete on a full-time basis and 4-5 years if studied as a part-time programme. To obtain a PhD you are expected to conduct independent research that will make an original contribution to knowledge about that particular subject and present this in the form of a thesis.

A MPhil will usually take 2 years to complete on a full-time programme and 3-5 years as a part-time programme. Research at MPhil level should represent an extension of existing knowledge, although the demands of originality are less than that for a PhD.

MResThe Research Masters degree is more research-orientated than a normal taught Masters programme, usually consisting of 120 credits research and 60 credits taught (66% / 34%). It is seen to be a good route into PhD level study.

Bangor has a strong research base across a spectrum of academic disciplines engaging in research at national and international levels. The University provides strong support for research activities including encouraging links with commercial and industrial bodies in the UK and overseas.
