Bangor is the only place in Europe where those who love all things reptilian and amphibian can study and learn more about this fascinating group of animals. Zoology with herpetology provides a wide range of diversity within modules, all of which are really engaging and facilitating. The course aids me in managing my human crocodile conflict project in Uganda and understand the steps required in carrying out research.

Bangor is nestled between the stunning mountain ranges of Snowdonia and the tranquil beaches of Anglesey, making it perfect for exploring. The Paddleboarding Society allows you to immerse yourself in these surroundings, whilst also enjoying the activities they have to offer.

Unsurprisingly, the Herpetological Society has also made myBangor experience that more special, by bringing in expert speakers to discuss a wide range of topics followed by Q&A, sometimes over a pint at the local pub.

Bangor offers so much, it’s been an incredible experience living, studying and working here.
