DID YOU KNOW...? 90% of our research impact has been judged as world-leading or internationally excellent *. * REF 2014 The School of Ocean Sciences is one of the oldest University marine science centres in the UK. We have over 70 years of teaching experience across the breadth of the marine sciences. Our alumni are now leaders in marine science roles across the globe. Continued development of offshore industry, renewables and aquaculture has led to increased demand for marine science graduates.

One of the best University locations in the UK Surrounded by the Irish Sea, a short drive to Snowdonia and a stone’s throw from the Menai Strait, the School is well situated for marine science. Anglesey is one of only 4 UNESCO Designated Geoparks in the UK with 95% of the coast designated an Area of Outstanding Beauty. We use these different local environments to teach concepts such as rocky shore zonation at Cable Bay, where organisms organise themselves into bands, and weathering processes of coastal cliffs, beaches and dunes at Newborough Beach. Many of our students take full advantage and enjoy the great outdoors, including walking, climbing, kayaking and diving. Our degrees teach key skills At Ocean Sciences we place great emphasis on teaching students practical skills as well as literacy and numeracy. Our degrees ensure that you leave with skill sets that are in demand by employers, and that you have the confidence to use these in your career. These can include computational, observational and experimental skills, and, depending on degree, may include elements such as taxonomy, conducting experiments and using state-of-the-art oceanographic and geophysical equipment. Unique learning atmosphere Over many decades, Ocean Sciences has developed into a unique, cohesive and inclusive environment. Our students have excellent links with academics, as well as amongst themselves. The student-led Endeavour Society ensures that like minded students socialise together, and our staff offer funded summer projects to second year undergraduates, providing real experience of working within a research environment. Taught by leading researchers At Ocean Sciences you will be taught by leading UK marine biologists, geologists, physicists and chemists during your entire degree. This means that our staff integrate their cutting edge research and skills into their teaching, providing a stimulating and fresh learning experience. Our staff also offer research opportunities for motivated undergraduates that can run parallel to their studies or occur during the summer. International and work experience The University has an active International Office that offers an international experience year that can be taken during any degree in the University. The School has strong links with institutions in the US and China. Our students are offered summer internships and work placement years allowing them to gain work experience while studying for a degree. 6 Teaching since the 1950s The School of Ocean Sciences has existed for many decades and continues to be one of the few solely marine science Schools in Europe. Our longevity is testament to the staff and students who have elevated the School of Ocean Sciences into one of the most famous marine science departments in the world. You will study with fellow students and staff who are passionate about the marine environment, and join our alumni who all feel a genuine sense of belonging to the School. Affordable and safe Coming to University is a life changing decision, and both cost and personal safety come into consideration.

    FORESTRY @BANGOR ALUMNI 2020 Newsletter FORESTRY @BANGOR ALUMNI 2020 Newsletter Welcome from the Vice-Chancellor I am delighted to present to you a fantastic collation of just some of the many highlights relating to forestry at Bangor University over the past two years. In many ways, forestry epitomises the spirit of Bangor University: a bold, traditional, international and dynamic university. Perhaps what strikes me most about this newsletter is the incredible achievements of our students who take such pride in, and responsibility for, their own learning through the Bangor Forestry Students’ Association. It is a very rare student society that has the ambition to successfully take on the hosting a nine-day international meeting of forestry students and professionals! In time, current students will transform into alumni and young professionals with the capacity to make hugely positive contributions to society, to livelihoods, to biodiversity and to the health of our planet. And as measured by the achievements of our many alumni from the forestry and related programmes, the bar has been set very high, providing us all with inspiration and ambition. We are indebted to alumni for their generous and unconditional support. Yours, Professor Iwan R. Davies, President and Vice-Chancellor COVER PHOTO: Nepal 2019.
