“Having completed a BA in Banking with Economics and Law, I worked in insurance for a couple of years, but always knew I’d go on to further study. I wanted to specialise, and felt that doing a postgraduate degree would put me one step ahead of the competition. The course I’ve chosen is giving me lots of practical knowledge – which I’ll need if I go on to work in international business or management most likely with a multinational company.

I was fortunate enough to be given a scholarship to come to Exeter, without which I wouldn’t be here. But it’s certainly a place I’d choose to be – it’s ranked as one of the top ten universities in the country. There’s also a great sense of history here and I feel privileged to be part of an institution that’s been around since 1855. Over time this School has built a great reputation, and seen many talented students pass through its doors. The School has worked hard to achieve such high academic standards and exceptional levels of student satisfaction – and I’m lucky to be part of that.

I’d say I have everything I need here to make this experience a positive one. The facilities are fantastic. The library has everything you could possibly want, the ICT area is very spacious – you can always get to a computer – and the classrooms are very comfortable. Also, the tutors are really helpful, and I’ve found there’s always someone to deal with any queries I have. I would strongly recommend anyone to choose this Business School.

I’m very interested in international business, and could potentially end up working anywhere in the world, so this particular course was great for me. I think it will give me the skills and experience I need to work as a management consultant or work for a global company and possibly, eventually, to set up my own business.”
