Research centers focus on medicines evaluation, palliative care, clinical trials, health economics, cancer biology, and pharmacology. We are the focus of medical education and research at Bangor University. Our teaching enables students to develop, integrate and apply their knowledge at the interface of scientific discovery and clinical practice. We have excellent research and teaching links with the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, one of the largest in the UK, and a world-leading cancer research facility, the North West Cancer Research Institute, enabling students to experience cutting-edge teaching and research. Our undergraduate programmes:
Biomedical Science BSc (Hons) (3 years) (IBMS Accredited)
Biomedical Science with Foundation year BSc (Hons) (4 years) (IBMS Accredited)
Medical Sciences BMedSci (Hons) (3 years)
Medical Sciences with Foundation Year BMedSci (Hons) (4 years)
Pharmacology BSc (Hons) (3 years)

Graduate entry to medicine (BMBS) (4 years)
Under a feeder stream agreement, on successful completion of the BMed Sci students are eligible to apply for the four-year graduate entry to medicine programme. Please note to apply for this programme you will need to fulfil all their additional criteria which includes but not limited to specific ordinary and advanced level 2 and 3 achievement and successful completion of an entrance exam. We also offer a range of postgraduate taught courses including those aimed at doctors, health professionals and professions allied to medicine, as well as NHS-funded programmes including Physician Associate Studies. Many programmes offer multiple exit points to suit individual circumstances. These programmes are grounded in modern medical practice and taught by staff that often hold joint appointments with the NHS. This gives our students an excellent level of exposure to practising clinicians and a real insight into current practice and probably explains why our graduates are highly regarded by major employers.
