The academic level is high
My experience since I arrived in the UK has been based on new challenges, learning and life lessons that have allowed me to grow at all levels and aspects of my life. Dreaming of one day in the UK and doing my master's degree seemed like an impossible dream and even being here seems like a dream. What I like the most about studying in the UK is the academic level that the universities have, the human quality that I find in the teachers and being able to have a cultural exchange with the international and local students who are part of the program.
The academic level is high, but the university provides different tools for international students that allow us to maintain the demands of the programs and to be able to fulfill the academic duties.
Why the University of Exeter?
For me, one of the reasons for choosing was to find a university that maintained a recognized academic level both in the UK and globally. The University of Exeter currently ranks in the top 135 best places in the world.
University Life
The program I chose is full-time, but it gives you the facility to organize your homework autonomously part of the time, creating independence and also allowing the student to work part-time.
From my experience, I have chosen to live in the university residences and although it is a little more expensive, I have been able to create friendships with students from my same university more quickly, and have permanent access to the university facilities.
One thing that has been a privilege for me is being able to work and study in parallel. The UK provides that opportunity for international students, where we can work 20 hours a week. The same university I'm at gives job opportunities to international students who want to work.
Course developed
I am currently doing my master's degree in International Human Resource Management. I must say that it has exceeded my expectations, since the focus of this program at the university is unique since it allows me to apply my knowledge anywhere in the world and gives me a global notion of how human resource management works in different parts of the world. .
Life in Exeter
Exeter is a small and quiet city, but it is recognized for being a city for students and this helps to meet many people who are developing their undergraduate or postgraduate studies from different parts of the world, with similar interests to their own. Also life is not as expensive as London or other cities in UK. The university is a 15-minute walk from the city center, so it's easy to save money on transportation. Exeter is a very safe city.
