> #### Ananya, studying BA Management with Marketing
>
> "The years spent studying in Exeter have been the best years of my life. I was able to make friends that turned into family and become more independent. Studying with students from all around the world means you get to learn about different cultures and how they think about the same topic differently.
>
> Through this experience, I have been able to develop my communication skills a lot more and have learnt to be more confident about the choices I make and the actions I take."
> #### Nicola, studying BSc Marketing and Management with Industrial Experience
>
> "I chose Exeter because of its location in the beautiful county of Devon, which is known for its national parks and beaches. You’re surrounded by the beauty of nature; making it the perfect environment to study. I also chose Exeter because of how international it is. You are exposed to different cultures and people of all walks of life.
>
> The University also offers a wide variety of different language courses, so it is a great environment to prepare for an international career."
> #### Hugo, studying MSc Conservation and Biodiversity
>
> “Applying to Exeter was a no-brainer because of its global reputation in ecology, and the quality of research published.
>
> Conservation is essential all over the world which is why I love the international approach taken by my course, whether it be learning about the work of the academic staff or going on field courses.”
> #### Albina, studying LLB Law with Professional Placement
>
> “I’m originally from Ukraine, so the education system in England has been completely new to me.
>
> One of the things I really enjoy about my course is how it’s structured. We have a lot of interactive lessons like seminars and workshops instead of just lectures every day
>
> The professors are very approachable and always ready to help with questions or learning support. I’ve also found the 1:1 meetings with my academic tutor incredibly helpful for reflecting on my progress and planning my next steps."
> #### Wenyu, studying MA International Education
>
> "The best thing about living in Exeter is that it's safe and friendly. Part of the culture that really struck me was the relatively relaxed attitude to life. Here people always say, don't worry, enjoy the moment. My year here has also relatively changed my tendency to be anxious, and I think that's the best thing that could have happened."
