University of Wales, Bangor

The University of Wales, Bangor (UWB) is a constituent institution of the University of Wales based in the small city of Bangor in the county of Gwynedd in North Wales, United Kingdom. The university occupies a substantial proportion of the city and is geographically very dispersed, with university departments in locations from Wrexham to Menai Bridge. Whilst Bangor itself is not reknowned for its beauty, one of the university's key selling-points is its location between Snowdonia and the island of Anglesey.

Other names

UWB has been known at various times as the University College of North Wales (UCNW, in Welsh Coleg Prifysgol Gogledd Cymru) and University College, Bangor (UCB, Coleg y Brifysgol, Bangor) – not to be confused with the University College of Bangor (UCB), which is a campus of the University of Maine at Augusta. It is often referred to, strictly speaking incorrectly, as Bangor University.
