�鶹��ý�����

I choose �鶹��ý����� 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 �鶹��ý����� 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.

Barristers are dedicated, hard working and passionate. Barristers represent their clients in court, arguing the case on behalf of their client. This can involve examining witnesses, and arguing complex points of law, explaining why the court should find in favour of their client. Outside of the courts, barristers can provide advice, better known as an ‘opinion’ to a dispute or legal issue referred to them by a solicitor. This opinion may give a view as to the likelihood of winning should the case go to trial, which may encourage the client to negotiate a settlement without the matter going to court.
