Gene revolution

Until 1 September
2007 the University was part of the federal University of Wales,
and was officially known for most of its history as the
University College of North Wales ("UCNW", Coleg Prifysgol
Gogledd Cymru in Welsh). It later became "University College,
Bangor" ("UCB", Coleg y Brifysgol, Bangor: not to be confused
with the University College of Bangor, which is a campus of the
University of Maine at Augusta). From 1995 until 31 August 2007
the University was known as "University of Wales, Bangor"
("UWB") and Prifysgol Cymru, Bangor ("PCB").
The change of name to Bangor University or Prifysgol Bangor was
instigated by the University following the decision of the
University of Wales to change from a federal university to a
confederal, non-membership organisation, and the granting of
degree awarding powers to Bangor University itself. The
University has, however, decided not to take advantage of these
powers and will continue to award degrees in the name of the
University of Wales for the time being. |
