University of Wales, Bangor

The University opened on 18 October 1884 in an old coaching inn with 58 students (29 of them women) and 10 teaching staff. Nine years later it became one of the three original constituent colleges of the University of Wales. The University moved to a new site in 1911 - the present main university buildings - on a hillside overlooking Bangor.

Today the University has over 7000 students, 17 academic departments and over 300 teaching staff.
