ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï

Why Bangor?

After I left school I wanted to study architecture or product design, but after completing a period of work experience at an architect’s, I decide that I preferred Product Design. I saw that ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ïhad a Product Design course, and I knew that the University was a 15-minute drive from Snowdonia. It has everything that I love - surfing, kayaking, climbing and cycling, all with like-minded people.

The course …

What I love about Product Design at ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï is that we have very knowledgeable lecturers with industry experience and also that we have a 7-9 week placement every year, allowing me to specialise in the specific industry that interests me.

Clubs and Societies

I am the Captain of the ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï Canoe Polo team and I was the Publicity Co-ordinator for the Christian Union.

Living in halls…

I lived in halls for my first year, and it was very convenient. It is the prime location to meet people, get to lectures and have a free gym pass! Definitely worth it!

Best thing about Bangor…

I love the people and the place. It is a very outdoor-sports-driven area, with so many people that are passionate about exploring and enjoying nature.

Highlight

I was selected to participate in the British Universities Kayak Expedition 2019, where, along with six of the best university white-water kayakers in the UK, I will kayak remote rivers in the Russian Far East.

When you leave Bangor, what will you miss?

I will leave ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ïin Summer 2020. I will definitely miss this small city, which has everything you need, but without the crazy and overcrowded areas.

Future plans…

In the future, I plan to travel the world, gaining experiences and, hopefully, gain a job in outdoor equipment design, and then to start a family and settle down somewhere.
