Incoming Students - Instructions

As a prospective exchange student, you should apply to your home university as the very first step and you may be asked to go through a selection process. If your request is successful, your university will send Bangor an official nomination confirming your participation.

After we receive this nomination, we will send you an email with details on how to make your application to study with us. The email will contain a comprehensive guidebook to assist you in completing and submitting your study application. After you have submitted your study application, we will provide you with information on how to apply for university accommodation or information about accommodation availability outside of the university.

Please note that our student application guidebook and accommodation information will be issued directly to those who have been formally nominated by their home university.
