Bangor University is a well-known public university located in Bangor, Wales, (United Kingdom). Originally known as University College of North Wales (UCNW) and then University of Wales, Bangor (UWB), it became Bangor University in 2007, when it separated away from the University of Wales. 

Bangor University History

On October 18, 1884, Bangor University was founded as the University College of North Wales (UCNW). In 1885, the college was granted a Royal Charter. Until 1893, when UCNW became a founding member institution of the federal University of Wales, its students got degrees from the University of London. Following the University of Wales' decision to transition from a federal institution to a confederal non-membership organization and the provision of degree-awarding powers to Bangor University, the university changed its name to Bangor University, or Prifysgol Bangor in Welsh, in 2007. As a result, all students who started after 2009 received a degree from Bangor University, while students who started before 2009 may choose between Bangor University and University of Wales Bangor on their degree certificates.
