Why Bangor

The type of modules that are included in my course and the strength of Bangor Business School made me choose Bangor. I also prefer small and quiet places which are contained in Bangor.

The International Ambassador Scheme

Most people like me, want to talk to someone who has experienced the same thing that they want to do, to make sure it worth doing it, which is why I see international ambassadors as the most appropriate way to communicate before coming to Bangor. It is also a good opportunity to be an Ambassador who helps other people.
