Bangor has a proud tradition of world-leading research in Celtic studies, with particular focus and international links on the history, culture, literature, language, and politics of Wales. We house some of Wales’ leading research centres, which are directed by prominent Welsh historians, experts in Welsh law, Welsh culture, music, literature and poetry. Our research centres and research groups include:

• Research Centre Wales
• R.S. Thomas Centre
• Institute for the Study of Welsh Estates
• Centre for Arthurian Studies

Our researchers explore and practice aspects of culture and arts and gather understanding of the components of civil society which strengthen community resilience to cope with contemporary changes and challenges. Based on significant archival and contemporary resources combined with artistic activity, we actively contribute to community culture and the arts to provide a place for the study of civil society in action. Our research centres include:

• Centre for Contemporary Poetry
• Stephen Colclough Centre for the History and Culture of the Book
• Centre for Film, Television, and Screen Studies

Communities across the world are connected by a complex web of governance, financial, and economic links, human migration, and questions around the scope and nature of institutions and principles of justice. The competing interests of local communities, nation states, and global and international economic systems require responsive research on regulations and governance, institutions, and community studies. Our economists, lawyers, social scientists and historians explore these complex links and how they are affected by questions of power, politics, and global challenges. Relevant research institutes include:

• Centre for Sustainability
• Institute for European Finance
• Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research and Data (WISERD)
• Emotional AI Lab
