“I’m from China and I study BSc Accounting and Finance. I’ve always been interested in finance and understanding how businesses operate, so this course felt like the perfect blend of accounting and finance to help me reach my goals. Exeter’s strong reputation and high rankings in business and finance really stood out to me when I was deciding where to apply.
Before starting university, I was working part-time in China and took some time to figure out my career path. During that time, I completed a short internship at a local accounting firm, which opened my eyes to the importance of accounting and finance in decision-making. It was then that I knew I wanted a career in this field, and that period really helped me feel focused and prepared before beginning my degree.
Since arriving, I’ve also made use of the Career Zone for CV advice and attended networking events to prepare for my future career. Joining the Global Chums mentor scheme helped me adjust to studying in a new country, so overall I feel confident and well prepared for both my degree and what comes next.”
