Why Bangor?

I came up with the idea to study abroad especially in the UK, so, when I searched for schools, I found out that Bangor University is especially good at teaching, and it offered various degree programs for an international student like me to attend.

The International Ambassadors Scheme

The International Student Ambassadors Program is to help and support new and existing international students.

The most difficult thing about being an International student

The language barrier is the first instance that every international student has encountered when they have applied in foreign universities.  So, with the support of an international student ambassador, new entrants can easily communicate whatever they would like to know.  The reason I would like to be one of the participants in the International Student Ambassadors Program is because I was shy to speak out before I attended Bangor University.  I realised that I would like to give a hand to other international students like me who are timid to communicate. There can be many challenges in your life when you decide to leave your parent’s home.

The Course

With respect to courses, I love non-conventional teaching & learning styles. However, you need to study hard depending on your course duration.  

The Lecturers

Lecturers are beautiful, friendly and possess amazing intellectual skills.  I am one of the IIM course student representatives within my term period. I am also thinking to apply to be a peer guide to help international students as much as I can.

Clubs and Societies

I enjoy gaming, and I love programming which I have started to learn. 

The best thing about Bangor

Bangor is one of the oldest cities in the UK. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful. I will miss everything about Bangor if I return to my home country, especially seafood, campus life, friends, teachers, and Harry Potter’s British accent.

Support from the University

Yes, university staff and faculties are very willing to be helpful and supportive. 

Advice for new International students

I think you should come and study in Bangor University. Firstly, you will become independent and then you will experience different cultures and perspectives.

The Future 

I would like to be an entrepreneur, stock exchange trader and real estate agent. A thousand dreams that I want to be, and I have decided to keep trying until I reach my goals.
