Undergraduate Transfer

It is possible to transfer into the 2nd year of an undergraduate degree programme if they university studies undertaken to date in another country or in another university in the UK correspond by level and content to the 1st year of a programme at Bangor University. In order to assess an application for transfer, students are required to provide an official certified transcript detailing the study undertaken to date with their application.

Studying Law at Bangor University

Canadian students who wish to apply for any of our LLB (Law) programmes can also apply to Bangor upon completion of the above relevant high school or CEGEP qualification. It is not necessary to complete an undergraduate degree in Canada first and then apply for the LLB.

Students who have already completed their undergraduate degrees in a non-law subject, but who wish to obtain an LLB can also apply for entry onto an accelerated LLB programme which takes two years to complete.

Students may also gain entry to year 1 of our undergraduate degree programmes if they have successfully completed 1 or 2 years of an undergraduate degree at a Canadian university with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 out of 4.0 (or equivalent) and seek to transfer to Bangor for the remainder of their degree.

Students may be eligible for entry under the mature student regulations. This regulation does not require a bachelor degree. The applicants must however have obtained relevant work experience or held a position of responsibility relevant to the proposed course of study for a minimum period of 2 years prior to commencing the course. This rule does NOT apply for applicants for PhD studies, and entrants MUST have a taught postgraduate degree.
