The world is changing in unpredictable ways and it can be hard for people to understand how they can ever make a real difference at Bangor Business School.

It's our core belief that with the right education and the right skill set you can drive positive change across the globe.

We're confident of this because our research, staff and our graduates are making an impact wherever they go.

Taking real world business challenges into their own hands, whether that's using data analytics to drive the efficiency of a local High Street, developing concrete sustainable policies for the tourism industry, investigating the relationships between brand and littering, analysing consumer behavior and helping people to make decisions that are better for their health and the environment.

This is the place to make a real difference, and it's also a beautiful place to do it.

Today we're working with businesses, government and charities, locally in Wales throughout the United Kingdom and across the world.
