I'm looking for a synonym for the word "pursuing" in the following context:

"At present, I'm pursuing my third year of business studies"

Best Answer

The sense of pursue in your example seems to be sense 1.2 from Oxford. (Seek to attain or accomplish (a goal) over a long period)

The synonyms listed for this sense are:

strive for, push towards, work towards, try for, seek, search for, quest (after), be intent on, aim at/for, have as a goal, have as an objective, aspire to

If those don't work for you, you could always go with 'in', as Edwin suggested.
