Chartered Financial Analyst Pathway
Many of our degree programmes provide the opportunity to follow the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) specialist pathway and acquire the skills to complete the CFA Level 1 examination (for both September-intake and January-intake students). The CFA has become the most respected and recognised professional qualification in finance in the world.
Students undertaking this pathway will take a new module titled Financial Research & CFA Series during the summer period. Students will attend research seminars in June to be followed by specialist training for the Level 1 CFA exam provided by Fitch Learning, who are a well-recognised and accredited provider of CFA education. The teaching will include two days of Research Seminars in June and five two-day blocks of training, plus an additional two-block of revision provided across July and August. Assessments will follow the seminars and the CFA training.
No additional fees are charged for students undertaking this pathway.
However, students will be required to enrol with the CFA Institute and register for the exam. Payment of enrolment and examination fees is to the CFA Institute.
You will be able to register on this CFA pathway after arrival in Bangor. If you wish to make any enquiries in advance, please contact owain.apgwilym@bangor.ac.uk.

Graduating from Bangor University was a transformative experience for me both professionally and personally. The best thing about studying was the teaching staff who were extremely welcoming and supportive. I was very glad I chose Bangor University since I gained a lot of different experiences, learned numerous new skills, and found my future employment direction.

I loved studying at Bangor, it’s a wonderful University set within a beautiful part of North Wales. The modules were interesting, the staff members were supportive, and the opportunities were endless! In addition to gaining a job role within my Degree subject, I have gained and strengthened so many other employability skills through the opportunities that the Business School provided.

I selected Bangor Business School as it is ranked high in Banking and Finance studies. The school’s quality of teaching is outstanding and focuses on a curriculum which is very close to industry developments. Moreover, the location of the Bangor University is stunning that was one of the major factors that lead me to choose the University for my Postgraduate studies.
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.
