Welcome Week & Key Events
Welcome week is your soft landing before lectures begin. It usually kicks off in mid-to-late September, giving you time to settle into halls, meet your flatmates and find your way around campus. Miss it, and you will spend the first term playing catch-up.
Vacation & Holiday Dates
The Bangor University holidays follow a familiar rhythm. Christmas vacation runs for roughly three weeks from late December. Easter brings another three-week break, usually bookended by Easter Sunday. These are your prime windows for travel, part-time work or simply catching your breath.
Assessment & Exam Periods
The assessment period is when the real work lands. Semester 1 assessments typically begin in early January, while Semester 2 exams arrive in May. Each block runs for two to four weeks, so mark your exam dates early and build a revision plan around them.
