The International Exchanges Office coordinates student and staff mobility under the Erasmus+ programme for the Bangor University European exchange programme, including the management of inter-institutional agreements and administration of incoming and outgoing students. We also manage the student study abroad programme with partners in the EU, US, Canada, Korea, Japan, Australia and China.
