Inspiring Women in Business
As part of the Bangor Business School Athena Swan agenda, which is a commitment to gender equality and boosting female careers within the School, three female students took part in a mentorship programme with successful female entrepreneurs. All students gained valuable experiences and guidance from the entrepreneurs with one student moving on to start her own business as a result of the programme.
“Through this mentorship programme, I have gained confidence in networking and my abilities as a whole. I have started a company called Be Heard, with the aim of raising awareness of neurodiverse conditions. The aim is to support young people with neurodiverse conditions in education and into employment.” - Rebecca Bowyer
0:00 Hi my name is Rebecca, I'm a third year business management and marketing student who lives on
0:05 Anglesey just the other side of Menai Bridge. I was involved in the Athena Swan
0:10 female mentorship program where I was partnered with a local entrepreneur who encouraged me and
0:15 helped me set up my own business. Julie Williams she runs the Coaching Den 4 Life and works
0:19 with Big Ideas Wales. Julie gave me the skill set to start networking more effectively and
0:25 using my passion to make a difference um involving setting up on my own, yeah it was quite eye-opening
0:32 to the opportunities that are around and the support that is there in the local area and
0:37 from the government in terms of setting up your own business. She gave me the confidence to take
0:42 the next steps that I wouldn't have done on my own without her I wouldn't have started going
0:46 to massive networking events in London and such which is quite a big leap from a local girl on
0:52 a small island and she also gave me the really the toolkit to start and allowed me to expand
1:00 on those skills slowly over time and so I've set up a company and it's called behead raising
1:05 awareness of neurodiversity and I primarily work to raise the profile neurodiverse and differences
1:11 in healthcare and education while mentoring young people who perhaps don't have the support system
1:16 like I benefited from when I was younger. Say yes to every opportunity that comes your way as much
1:22 as it's out of your comfort zone because your comfort zone will stay small if you don't keep
1:27 expanding it slowly and slowly and slowly and you'll be amazed how far you can actually come.

Bangor Business School Facilities
Celebrating our Graduates
0:06 Well the staff are so friendly and accessible I knew I could go to them with any issues I
0:11 had or any questions about assignments it was a really relaxed atmosphere and relationship
0:16 that I had with them and I knew that they cared about what I was interested in as well.
0:21 I made the most out of the societies because when you come to University for the first time it was
0:26 nice to know that there was just so many different opportunities available there was a running
0:30 club, we would run around Bangor sometimes in Treborth and that just offered the opportunity
0:36 to get out and about meet people again. I'm making friends now that I've made for life.
0:42 We do offer personal one-to-one tutee's and it's just a really colligative atmosphere to work in
0:48 and I do sincerely believe the students benefit from that as well. When students are actually engaging
0:53 with you which is fantastic and you know that you're making a difference that's really rewarding.
1:00 They were always happy to help any time you send an email they'd answer
1:03 so as soon as they could. Just that total support there all the time only an email away and all
1:04 the new friends I've made and all the communities in Bangor it's great.
1:17 So I lived up at
1:18 the St Mary's Halls which is quite a nice little tight-knit community it was really good and really
1:23 refreshing as well to have people both from my course in my flat but also from other courses.
1:31 Bangor is such a beautiful area you've got Snowdon or the Wyddfa so close by and just
1:36 being able to climb that venture around to different parts of North Wales is brilliant.

Graduate Profile Elen Rankenhohn
Not only has my experience at the school given me the knowledge as a base for my career, but it has sparked a confidence in me that I never thought I had. I now know I have what it takes to be a successful marketeer and have already started climbing my professional ladder. Bangor Business School has helped me build confidence and believe in myself and allowed me to find my passion which is now my career.
Graduate Profile Tom Haynes
Thanks to the guidance and support that was given to me by my lecturers, I left with a first class honours degree and now hold the position of International CRM Executive at Castore. The course helped me understand the mechanics behind how consumers engage with products and brands and how organisations can learn to monitor those behaviours and deliver superior value back to their consumers.
Graduate Profile Jeremy Smith
Bangor is just a fantastic place to be. The scenery is amazing, and the University itself looks incredible. I’d heard great things about the student experience in Bangor, so I knew it would be a place I would enjoy. There were some really great lecturers that genuinely cared about students success. It’s more than just a job to them. And a lot of them stay in touch after as well!
Graduate Profile Joshua Roberts
Attending Bangor University has significantly influenced my career. The reason I began to work with Real Ice is because of the network I built whilst at the university. This in-turn means that I have connected with significant figures in both politics and media. My experiences at the University allowed me to grow and gain confidence, which means that I am comfortable talking to and working with senior stakeholders, something I would only have dreamt of before attending Bangor University.
Graduate Profile Catrin Mather
I choose to study at Bangor Business School because the post-graduate Business and Marketing programme meant that I would graduate with a dual award of a Master of Arts and a Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership. This stood me in good stead to be able to progress in my career with good theoretical underpinning to support my professional studies and commercial experience.
Graduate Profile Errol Grant
I would not have the career I pursued without studying at Bangor Business School. I acquired knowledge beyond the degree. By learning from lecturers with industry experience, I gained an understanding of the practical application of academic studies. It helped me tackle genuine business problems facing clients in my industry.
Graduate Profile Sergio Rojo
Studying Business and finance as my undergraduate degree paved the way to providing me with a strong baseline to join reputable organisation within the financial industry. The knowledge I acquired at university has been the building blocks to some of the tools I still use today.

Employability is key in everything we do here at the Business School. From helping you with your CV to developing skills to interview outside your course there are plenty of extracurricular activities to make sure you prepared for the world of work.

Support at Bangor Business School
Here is Natalia Ehenulo a Masters student from Reading talking about her experience of student support at Bangor Business School. Natalia is currently in her 4th year here at Bangor after completing her Undergraduate degree in Business Economic she's continued her studies with the Business School and is currently studying an MSc in Finance.
0:00 Hi I'm Natalia Ehenulo, I'm from Reading and I'm currently studying
0:06 MSc Finance at Bangor University. I've been here now for four years I did my undergraduate here
0:13 studying Business Economics which I graduated from in July 2022. My experience at Bangor
0:21 Business School has been great so far, I've really really enjoyed the interaction with the lecturers. 0
:26 I think at the beginning of uni you're very new to so many subjects, I mean if you have happened
0:31 to study a similar subject at A-level you have a bit of knowledge on it but obviously you're
0:36 doing a vast array of modules you just don't know everything yet and I think that can be quite
0:41 daunting coming into the subject and I really like how the lectures take time with you to go
0:46 over certain things. I know I constantly emailed many lecturers you know asking for feedback on
0:52 my work what exactly does the assignment question
0:55 mean or what can I do better on my next assignment if I'm not as happy with my grade
1:00 and they really take the time to sit down with you go over certain things, why that wasn't good.
1:05 I also think at the beginning of uni when you're in your first year or you're just starting your Masters
1:11 as well they go completely from scratch even things like referencing, every school within Bangor
1:16 has a different reference, so it could be Harvard, it could be APA, and they really take the time
1:21 okay this is how you don't plagiarise this is exactly what you need to do in order for them to
1:27 give you the best marks because they are on your side they do really really want you to do well
1:32 and I really appreciate that.
