Bangor Business School

Your Future Career

Your decision about which of our courses you are going to study will often be based on the career path you think you'd like to follow.

Many students are attracted to courses which provide them with key elements of their possible future career, others choose degrees which are sufficiently generalised that they allow them to defer their decision, whilst giving them the opportunity to 'sample' subject areas which they consider they may be interested in pursuing in their future career.

This part of the Bangor Business School web site has been produced to help you find out more about the careers which our graduates either can or do enter. You'll find the information which is available below is either generally available on the internet or is based on the experiences of our graduates.

If you are a recent Bangor Business School graduate and you'd like to let us know about how your career has developed since graduating then please tell us 'your story' by contacting us.

On-line careers information

There are many ways that you can locate on-line information about your possible future career. The first thing you need to do is to clarify what it is that you are search for. For example searching for 'marketing' on a search engine like Google will find thousands of links to marketing sites, but probably not about a career in marketing.

Below are a handful of sites we've picked from the hundreds available. If you would just like a chat with someone about the course you are thinking about doing and the jobs you might be suitable for after graduating then you could telephone us - alternatively have a browse through the sites below and then oerhaps consider contacting us once you've developed your thoughts a little more.
