When I arrived in Bangor I immediately
made friends, there were lots of other
people from my home country of Nigeria
around, which was very nice and it helped
me to settle in. I think Bangor is the perfect
place to come and complete your studies,
and it is in a very good location.

“It has always been my passion to qualify as a lawyer. I enjoy the depth and details of lectures and tutorials are interesting and interactive and it helps to clear grey areas that I did not understand in lectures. The best thing about my course is that lecturers have an open door policy, they are approachable and they give practical advice for career options.

Student Profiles
“Bangor University was one of the few schools offering environmental chemistry. I decided to go with Bangor because it’s a student town, very conducive for learning with little distractions and low cost of living. The school of chemistry is a wonderful place to study very nice and helpful lecturers and non-teaching staff.”
Victor Ebuele - PhD Chemistry
Alumni Profiles
‘The Islamic Banking & Finance program in Bangor Business School opened my eyes to a truly scientific and contemporary approach to Islamic finance. Drawing from a rich pool of academic diversity, the program exposed me to the mechanics of conventional finance and its application to Islamic sharia principles. I thoroughly enjoyed the program. The serene and evergreen country that is Wales was a refreshing experience. I look forward to returning to Bangor for further studies in Islamic Finance.’
Bashirudeen Maishanu Mohammed, Manager at the Central Bank of Nigeria,
