Bocconi is a strong uni (probably target) in Europe. Exeter on the other hand is semi-target / non target.

Have seen a couple of people doing Mediobanca and then transitioning to the UK branch, to then transition into BB.
Alternatively, during your time in Exeter, you can network heavily and aim for off cycles / summers to then try to convert.
