Law

I choose Bangor University for a range of reasons I'd heard a lot of good things about the course I've chosen.

I've heard there are many clubs and societies to offer and a nice small university community so I can make friends easily.

I chose Bangor University for its stunning location and it's amazing course offer.

I enjoy the challenge of a law with criminology degree I find that is sharp in my critical thinking skills and my analytical skills and I look forward to working in a fast paced environment.

My favourite thing about Bangor has to be the scenery.

For me with Bangor the main sort of driving factor behind my choice was the small class sizes so what what you get here that you might not get in place with a larger cohort is you get to build a personal relationship with your lecturers.

There are so many things I love about law.

I'd say probably the best thing is being able to argue with people.

I've always loved to argue and law is such an area of debate our lectures always asking us questions and what we think about the law we're able to talk about reforms in the way the law should change and develop.

The best and the coolest part of the course is definitely the extracurricular activities that you get on offer in at Bangor we host multiple internal moot court competitions throughout the year and we also get involved in a lot of external competitions there's the Welsh National Moot the client interview competition that we came second place in last year.

There are so many things I love about Bangor.

00:00:03,870 --> 00:00:08,830
I'm in my second year and I'm studying in LLB law. I chose Bangor University for a range of reasons.

3
00:00:08,850 --> 00:00:11,130
I'd heard a lot of good things about the course I've chosen.

4
00:00:11,340 --> 00:00:17,400
I've heard that many clubs and societies to offer, and a nice small university community so I can make friends easily.

5
00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:23,160
The coolest is part of my course for me as a Welsh person is being able to connect with Welsh students through tutorials.

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,160
They offer um, all tutorials for my course through the medium of Welsh,

7
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:32,760
so I was able to connect with other Welsh students and learn together through, um, most comfortable language.

00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:34,740
There are so many things I love about law.

9
00:00:34,830 --> 00:00:41,639
I'd say probably the best thing is being able to argue with people I've always loved to argue, and law is such an area of debate.

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,700
Are lecturers always asking us questions on what we think about the law?

11
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,060
We're able to talk about reforms in the way the law should change and develop.

12
00:00:48,390 --> 00:00:53,640
There are so many things I love about Bangor. However, I would probably say the small community is the best thing.

13
00:00:53,940 --> 00:00:58,230
Many uni's a huge and overwhelming, but Bangor is a lovely small community,

14
00:00:58,260 --> 00:01:02,160
so you're able to connect with your friends easily and no one's too far from you.

15
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,880
A piece of advice I would give to new students is attend things.

16
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:11,670
Go to serendipity. Go and look at the stalls of the clubs and societies that you're interested in joining those kind

17
00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:15,510
of things and finding people with similar interests to you is such a good way to make friends,

18
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,690
and the opportunities are there for you to take them.
