Tell us a bit about your experience at Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æ….

Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æing at Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æ, or the University of Wales, Bangor, as it was then was probably the best three years of my life. I met lots of wonderful people both in my department and socially who I remain in touch with and are good friends to this day. I enjoyed the teaching and went away with a degree in Law with Accounting and Finance which laid the foundations for my career and I wouldn't be a partner in my law firm now without the help and support I received at Bangor. I also enjoyed the social side and got involved in lots of clubs and societies which helped me to leave with a wife! Thank you Bangor!
