Video transcript: The Albert Gubay Business School

[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] A wide aerial view of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½â€™s Main Arts Building on a clear day. Students study quietly in the university library as a lecturer addresses the camera. 

[VOICEOVER] The world is changing in unpredictable ways, and it can be hard for people to understand how they can ever make a real difference. 

[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] The Main Arts Building sits on a hillside, surrounded by trees. Inside, students attend a lecture and take notes. A lecturer speaks directly to camera. 

[VOICEOVER] At The Albert Gubay Business School it's our core belief that with the right education and the right skill set, you can drive positive change across the globe. 

[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] Students talk with a lecturer in a café setting, discussing their work. 

[VOICEOVER] We're confident of this because our research staff, and our graduates, are making an impact wherever they go, taking real world business challenges into their own hands. 

[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] On the Trading Floor, students work at Bloomberg terminals as a lecturer explains data on a large screen. Brief shots show London, city streets, sustainability work, and research activity. 

[VOICEOVER] Whether that's using data analytics to drive the efficiency of a local high street, developing concrete, sustainable policies for the tourism industry, investigating the relationships between brands and littering, analysing consumer behaviour and helping people to make decisions that are better for their health and the environment. 

[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] Two students walk together through the Main Building, then work on a laptop in Neuadd Pritchard Jones. 

[VOICEOVER] This is the place to make a real difference and it's also a beautiful place to do it. 

[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] Aerial views of the Main Arts Building appear, with the mountains of Eryri National Park in the distance. Students work on the Trading Floor and in the Shankland Library. 

[VOICEOVER] The Albert Gubay Business School is where tradition meets innovation, with state of the art facilities like our Bloomberg terminals, just a short walk from the Shankland Reading Room. 

[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] Hen Goleg is shown on a clear day, surrounded by greenery. An academic speaks to camera. A historic photograph of the university appears. 

[VOICEOVER] The growth and development of the business school is no accident, we are one of the longest established providers of banking and finance teaching in the world. 

[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] Students meet with academic staff to discuss their assignments. 

[VOICEOVER] Our focus on employability and future skills is key. 

[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] Students use Bloomberg terminals. Aerial views show Bangor, a city in the UK and an international city. Teaching, one‑to‑one support, and collaborative work are shown. At M‑SParc, employers work in a modern space, and a virtual reality headset is demonstrated. 

[VOICEOVER] Today we're working with businesses, government and charities locally in Wales, throughout the United Kingdom, and across the world, to improve the quality and scope of our research, but also to provide an excellent education through field trips and exposure to diverse industry expertise, providing the skills that employers actually want. 

[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] The Main Arts Building appears again. Two students sit on the grass outside, reading together. 

[VOICEOVER] The Albert Gubay Business School is more than just a place to study. 

[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] Students talk and laugh outdoors. Academic staff address the camera. 

[VOICEOVER] It's a place where future leaders are made, where innovation thrives, and where global challenges are addressed innovatively. 

[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] A fast montage shows students learning across lectures, group work, and specialist facilities. The film ends with an aerial view of the Main Arts Building, overlaid with the university crest and school name.

[VOICEOVER] We're creating the business leaders of tomorrow, and we would like you to join us in shaping the future.

Charles Vogt a former student of Bangor Business School

Charles Vogt From Bangor Graduate to Investment Analyst

What was next after graduation? 

"Following graduation, I started working as an Investment Analyst at Arrow Global Ltd, a leading European investor and asset manager based in Manchester."

Why Bangor?

"I chose Bangor's business school because I'd read that they had an excellent track record of graduates who go on to work within international financial markets and institutions."

How did Bangor help your career?

"The support, care, and encouragement from my lecturers gave me the confidence I needed to succeed in finding employment. Not only do lecturers care about how you perform inside the classroom, but they also care about how you’ll succeed later down the line."

Charles graduated from ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ studying Financial Economics at undergraduate before completing his masters in Banking and Law. 

The course itself was great and delivered by knowledgeable and caring lecturers, and the modules were set up in a way where the things you learnt were applicable to the real world. I think content plus applicability really helped bring the course to life and opened doors for me to pursue a job in the field and industry that I am interested in.

Do you have a question about life as a ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ student? Our ambassadors will be happy to help you find the answer.

They can tell you more about studying here, about the amazing Clubs and Societies we have, and how they made friends and settled in to life at university.
