Adam Gulliver - LLB LawFamily Law Barrister, Sentae House Chambers "The influence that Bangor had upon both my career and life cannot be overestimated. The way teaching was delivered at Bangor, combined with the excellent academic and pastoral support I received, allowed me to flourish academically and lead to me obtaining a First-Class degree. I very much attribute that great success, not only to my work, but also to the commitment and dedication of the lecturers and the overall quality of the Law School itself. Beyond that though I cannot overstate the support that the Law School provided, both in terms of helping me to obtain work experience placements and its overwhelming encouragement for students to pursue critical extra-curricular activities." |

Annmarie Dodd – LLB Law; LLM LawCompliance and Regulatory Change Officer, HSBC, New York City “After graduating from Bangor, I worked at CCI Legal (now CCI credit management) in Porthmadog for 18 months; where I worked predominantly in international compliance. I am now working in New York City, in the Regulatory Change team at HSBC. My office is located in central Manhattan and is incredibly busy. My role as Compliance and Regulatory Change Officer is varied, but it is predominantly compliance based. I assist to ensure that the applicable regulations, rules and laws are being adhered to and work to make sure the correct controls are put in place. The job requires a certain understanding of financial legislation and regulation, and my background in law certainly helps. My time at Bangor University was wonderful. I completed my LLB and LLM there, and found that the quality of both the teaching and the law school were fantastic. The staff were always helpful and supportive, and provided me will great help whenever I needed it – particularly when writing my dissertation or during exam time. I will always look back at my time at Bangor with very fond memories.” |
