Really been enjoying learning Geography here, it's been a really great time and the lecturers are very helpful. The people I've met on my course have been friendly and outgoing so it's been easy to settle in too which is great. I would highly suggest Bangor for geography as the field trips are amazing first hand experience on the topics behind learnt and teaches so valuable in the field skills. read more

Zoology with Conservation, BSc Hons FullTime
This course starts broad in year one, covering basics of conservation as well as basics in biology and zoology. The optional modules in second and third year are a fantastic range, and allow you to tailor the course perfectly to your interests. Zoology has a range of ‘with’ degrees, which are great if you already have an interest in a particular group of species. read more
