Tell us a bit about your experience at Bangor University….

I thoroughly enjoyed studying at Bangor University and it is without a doubt that the support and opportunities provided to me have enabled me to be where I am today. Throughout my time at Bangor, I was fortunate to be involved in many extra-curricular activities, including being Mistress of the Moot, a Halls of Residents Mentor, and an Intern Research Assistant for the Law School's Cymuned project.

Why did you choose to study at Bangor University?

Bangor University's Law School have a strong emphasis on extra-curricular activities and the importance of graduating from university with more than just a degree. The well-established mooting program allowed me to develop my public speaking skills and understand the importance of having a comprehensive understanding of the law relevant to your client's matter and explaining the law in a down-to-earth, client friendly manner.

How has your career developed since graduating from Bangor University, and what is your current job role? 

I am a Residential Property Legal Assistant at JCP Solicitors in South Wales and a part-time LPC LLM student. I started my first graduate job two days after my last LL.B exam during the Stamp Duty Land Tax and Land Transaction Tax holidays, in what was then a very busy period for residential property. Learning to study for my LL.B whilst working as a Residential Mentor put me in good stead to balance a busy caseload following graduation.

What advice would you give to students thinking about studying at Bangor University?

Do not be afraid to put yourself out there. Graduate jobs require strong academics and skills learnt from extra-curricular activities, such as the ability to work independently and as part of a team. The opportunities offered at Bangor will enable you to develop the skills required to step into
