Reflections on my first term at uni
It’s understandable that starting university can be a very daunting experience for many worries about how you will make it through the first term as well as how to tackle the hurdles that come with this new phase of adulthood can seem like big challenges.
I truly hope that this blog will ease your anxieties, as I delve into my own personal experience of what the first term was like as a Masters student.
My Career Development with the Career Zone
The Career Zone offers more than just one-on-one support; they conduct a variety of workshops, both online and in-person, covering essential topics such as CV writing, crafting effective cover letters, developing presentation skills, and tackling psychometric tests. As an international student unfamiliar with the UK job market, I found these sessions particularly helpful in understanding the local job market. Additionally, they provided valuable insights into graduate schemes and application timelines, ensuring I understood the different job roles available in the UK.
"The reason I chose Exeter was because of the reputation. It’s such a prestigious university with so many excellent studies from around the world, I wanted to be around people like this to open up my connections. I also wanted to be in the south of England because it’s much warmer! "
Phuong, from Vietnam studying MSc Business Analytics
"What I love most about Exeter is that it goes beyond just offering a programme to study. They provide opportunities for networking, developing soft skills, and career advancement. In just half a year, I've participated in an entrepreneurship/ startup bootcamp, conferences with speakers from international companies, career development workshops, and student society projects such as Xracing!
Exeter provide the tools, mentors, experts, labs, resources and a supportive environment with like-minded people. And it’s up to you to make the most of this opportunity, they'll do their best to support any idea you have."
