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."
