Bala-Bangor Theological Seminary
Bala-Bangor Theological Seminary

Bala-Bangor was a theological seminary belonging to the Welsh Independents (Undeb yr Annibynwyr Cymraeg), an association of Welsh congregationalists. It was founded in 1841 at Llanuwchllyn, then moved to a permanent location at Bala, Gwynedd in 1842 under the principalship of Michael Jones (1787–1853), who was followed by his son Michael D. Jones (1822–1898). During Michael D. Jones's principalship, a row broke out between two rival factions within Welsh congregationalism over the seminary's constitution – Michael D. Jones and his followers wanted to keep and adhere to the old constitution but Rev. John Thomas of Liverpool and his followers wanted to impose a new constitution upon the seminary. Michael D. Jones's argument was that Rev. John Thomas's plan would only lead to the presbyterizing of the seminary and of the Congregational churches in general. This row lead to a split and for a period the Congregationalists had two seminaries in Bala, Thomas Lewis's seminary at Plasyndre and Michael D. Jones's at Bodiwan. But by 1886 Thomas Lewis's seminary had moved to Bangor. Michael D. Jones retired in 1892 and this paved the way to unite the two seminaries once again and this time at Bangor thus explaining the seminary's eclectic name: "Bala-Bangor". The seminary remained in Bangor until its closure in 1989 by which time it was under the principalship of R. Tudur Jones, the last in the distinguished line of Principals to serve the Congregational churches in Wales. The seminary was closed mainly because of lack of demand for two Congregational seminaries in Wales. The Memorial College (having moved from Brecon to Swansea and then to Aberystwyth) offered a more central location for a United College to serve the Congregational churches throughout Wales. Through the 1990s, the United College remained at Aberystwyth, until its closure – now Congregational training is based back in Bangor under the supervision of Rev. Euros Wyn Jones.

North Wales Medical School
North Wales Medical School

The North Wales Medical School (Welsh: Ysgol Feddygol Gogledd Cymru) is the school of medicine, biomedical sciences, and pharmacy at Bangor University in North Wales. It was established as an separate school from the School of Health Sciences in 2023. Student intake for Medicine commenced in September 2024, and Pharmacy will commence in September 2025 (subject to General Pharmaceutical Council approval). The University has delivered Years 2 to 5 of the C21 Medicine programme on behalf of Cardiff University under a franchise arrangement which began in 2018. Two year groups of graduates have successfully completed their medical studies entirely in North Wales. In September 2021, the Welsh Government first proposed that a new, independent, North Wales medical school should be developed at the University, a commitment that was subsequently incorporated into the Programme for Government. Health Minister Eluned Morgan established a North Wales Medical School Programme Board, which recommended that the school should grow to have an annual intake of 110 school-leavers and 30 graduate entrants, with the school commencing its first intake in Autumn 2024. In August 2023, the General Medical Council confirmed that the School would commence the quality monitoring process for new medical schools. The University recruited 80 applicants who commenced medical studies in September 2024. The intake will rise until the planned intake of 140 is reached in 2029. Both Direct Entry 5-year and Graduate Entry 4-year Medicine programmes are provided.
