Undergraduate
Undergraduate degrees at Bangor are 3 years, and are equivalent to US degrees. They are shorter than in the US as we do not require general education requirements. You are focused on one subject from the start, although you gain a broad knowledge of this specialised area. Many US students plan on staying for 4 years however, as our master's programs are 1 year; so in 4 years you can have your master's, nearly all of which are equal to master's in the US, but you're done in 4 years instead of 6-7. These degrees are highly respected worldwide, and will be equivalent to a US bachelor's degree. The minimum we require for consideration is: Successful completion of High School Graduation Diploma with an unweighted GPA 3.0 or higher, or GED Pass (580/800), And; 2 AP exams (with a score of 3+) or Honours/DE/College-prep courses related to the subject you have chosen to with a minimum grade C in each. Or; 2 completed semesters of community college classes. Or; ACT 26+ / SAT 1100 For US Veterans, we are also pleased to accept your MOS together with your High School Graduation Diploma or GED. However, each application is assessed individually. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us: international@bangor.ac.uk We can also accept transfer students who have completed one or two years at a community college or university. These applications are reviewed on a case by case basis and students generally transfer into year 1 or year 2 for the remainder of their degree. We request that you supply as much information as possible (transcripts, course descriptions, etc.) to assess at what level you have studied previously as UK undergraduate degrees are extremely specialised and focused. We need to ensure you've taken the appropriate courses prior to arrival in order to prepare you for the coursework at Bangor. Study Abroad (Semester or 1 year) You should have a good academic record at your home university. We look for a GPA of 2.5 or better. To apply to study abroad, please apply here.
