Student Quotes –
Kaiyue Qiao, studying Law and Business
“I chose my Masters course because it combines my strong interests and the direction I want to study. I feel very lucky to have studied at the University of Exeter, where I have learned in depth about both law and business, including the differences and connections between the two fields. It has been an enriching year that has made me want to discover more possibilities.”
Albina Sergiyenko (LLB Law with Professional Placement)
“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. This makes the learning process more engaging and helps us understand the material better. I’m already excited about my third year because I’ll be doing a placement year. We’ve had lots of workshops on placement years and employability, which have been incredibly useful for developing my job hunting and application skills and understanding the kind of law firm I’d like to work at.”
