Dear all,

In my motivation letter, could I say 'The undergraduate study made me exposed to a wide range of knowledge from business to technology' ? Or I should say 'The undergraduate study exposed me to a wide range of knowledge from business to technology.' Or is there any more proper way to express the same meaning?

One more question, is there any problem to say'a wide range of knowledge from business to technology'?

Thanks a lot for you all.
Both are grammatically correct. I prefer "exposed me to"--it's more direct.

I might prefer "I was exposed to a wide range of knowledge from business to technology during my undergraduate study" if you want to change the emphasis to you (as opposed to your undergraduate study), as this simple structure is yet still more direct. But if the emphasis on the study is important to the meaning, I would leave it as-is.

You also want to avoid starting several sentences in a row with "I..." so if this is the case your second construction is a good variation if it is surrounded by sentences with I as the subject.

Many thanks for your elaborate explanation!! It is greatly helpful to me!
