Welcome

FROM THE COLLEGE DIRECTOR

“Welcome to Bangor University International College (BUIC).

BUIC is an embedded college on the Bangor University campus. Here, you can do the first stage of your integrated Bachelors or Masters course in a broad range of subjects before completing your degree at Bangor University. As a BUIC student, you will have access to all university services and facilities so will feel part of the university from the day you start.

As College Director of BUIC, I am committed to ensuring that you receive the best possible learning and teaching experience. You will study with students from all over the world. Our dedicated team of experienced tutors will help you adjust to academic life in the UK so that you are ready for the transition seamlessly into University. Our tutors focus on developing your English language and academic study skills as well as core subject knowledge. Our classes are typically small and interactive in nature. You will receive a lot of individual support and regular feedback on your academic performance. All of this will help you to increase your confidence in communicating in a higher education context and put you on the path to both academic success and future career success.

At BUIC, we are incredibly proud of the high level of individualised support that we provide to all our students on every step of the student journey, from pre-arrival to post-departure. If you join us, you really will feel looked after and part of the BUIC family.

During the Covid-19 Pandemic, we will do everything to ensure that there is a safe environment for students and staff. The University campus will be open to students for the September 2020 intake, on 12 October 2020 for BUIC. We will be providing students with a Blended Learning experience which will be a mixture of online and on campus delivery with social distancing measures in place. For students who are unable or not ready to start on campus in October, you can also start your studies online on 12 October and transfer to online study when the time is right.

We look forward to welcoming you to BUIC soon.“
