MSc Health Services Management - Batch of 2025

University of Chester Review
Tips: Do proper research before joining any course and also about the job opportunities after you finish the course. Contact the alumni from your specific course and seek guidance and advice. I was happy with my course, and I am currently working in the healthcare industry here.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is very convenient and accessible to everyone. And it is very affordable too with student discounts. I would recommend using public transportation for the initial few years, as it can save you a lot of money. There are plenty of student discount offers too.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are very few on-campus job opportunities for part-time, but there are plenty of off-campus jobs too. One can manage academics and a job easily. The average payout is quite good, as students don't pay any tax, but we can only work for 20 hours a week. And it is more than enough to support your needs.

M.Sc in Biotechnology (Shrewsbury) - Batch of 2026
4.1
A Great Experience That I Will Always Remember
Tips: My biggest piece of advice before coming to Chester is to drop any fixed expectations and just take things as they come. Don't stress yourself out trying to force instant friendships during Welcome Week or planning out every single outcome—let your uni routine and social circle develop naturally. Take time to enjoy the small everyday moments, whether that's hanging out by the River Dee or exploring the city with housemates. Some of your absolute best memories here will come from just going with the flow.
Likes (Public transportation): I gave public transport a 5/5 because getting around Chester and traveling to nearby cities like Liverpool or Manchester is completely hassle-free. The main Exton Park campus and city sites like Wheeler are easily connected by local Stagecoach and Arriva buses, and Chester Railway Station is just a short walk or quick bus ride away. As a student, having frequent, affordable bus lines and easy train links right on your doorstep makes daily commuting and weekend trips super convenient.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I gave permanent immigration a 3/5 because settling in the UK long-term after Chester is a tough, competitive process. While the 2-year Graduate Route visa buys you time to work after finishing your degree, transitioning to a sponsored Skilled Worker visa has gotten much harder with high salary thresholds and shifting Home Office rules. I’d love to stay in the UK permanently for the work culture and quality of life, but getting sponsorship from an employer to eventually hit that 5-year ILR threshold is far from guaranteed.

International friendly I would say
Tips: Personally for me, I kinda love exposing myself to new things that really helped me a lot to fit in here easily, and yeah, people here are really polite. Yeah, I did avail myself of a scholarship. For me, it was okay, but it is indeed a good experience, you can learn life lessons, which is what is important
Likes (Student Life): I rated it 5 cause incredibly welcoming, and the community at Chester. Moving to a new country can be overwhelming sometimes, but the University provides support that makes you feel at home. There are a lot of activities and sports that you can access for free till you are a student.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): My chances of permanent settlement in the UK are realistic but competitive, depending entirely on transitioning from study to a sponsored work visa because I came here in 2024. I qualify for the 2-year Graduate Route visa upon completion of an MSc in Biotechnology at the University of Chester

The kind of experience every international student has
Tips: I loved studying at this university. Every day was a learning experience. The people around were good, the lecturers were very supportive, and I made some really good friends. How I studied back home and what this university offered were completely different. Assignments are online, and the marking system is too. I was granted a scholarship and an IELTS waiver, as my English scores were above 80, which genuinely helped me save money on tuition fees and IELTS. There is a lot of support that is offered, such as well-being, education, and career. You could carry a lot from this university!
Likes (Indian Food): The university canteen has several options to pick from. There were several dishes from my home country, such as butter chicken and rice, and a lot to pick from. These gave me a touch of home. And the portion sizes were not a complaint. The prices are reasonable, and there is nothing to complain about.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Though the UK job market is difficult, the support available to secure a sponsored job is really limited. From my personal experience, generic advice is provided, and CV tricks and tips are provided, but nothing specific to what I was pursuing. These are helpful, but I wish extra support or some kind of placement had been provided.

U.K. is Difficult for International Students
Tips: It was a huge cultural shift, as there were fewer Asians compared to now coming to study in the U.K. Chester is a lovely place. Scholarships: I was a self-funded student and paid £13,860 per academic year (2018-2023). I had secured scholarships from India and got about £2000 scholarship towards my PhD tuition fees (which isn’t available now) With regards to my PhD research, it was independent work with no lectures or classes. My supervisor was very supportive throughout my PhD. In terms of the MSc taught course, I find it very challenging, as there are no good lecturers in the university for a few courses.
Likes (Public transportation): Honestly, traveling out of Chester is incredibly easy, mostly because the train station is so well connected. You can just hop on a direct train and be in Liverpool or Manchester in no time or easily head down to London and over into Wales without dealing with a million transfers. You can even catch trains straight up to Scotland or through the Midlands without a massive hassle. For getting around the city itself, the local buses are a decent shout. They have a good variety of routes that cover the main areas, even if they don't always run as late as you’d want them to on certain nights. If the buses aren't running, you can always rely on the local private taxi companies around town. Uber is also widely available here and super reliable when you're stuck, though the pricing can be a bit all over the place depending on the day and the time you're booking. If you're heading out on a weekend, just be ready for those surge prices, but you'll at least always find a ride.
Dislikes (Internships): I gave Chester a low score for internships and job prospects because the university is honestly a massive letdown when it comes to the biotech sector. Since Chester operates heavily as a teaching university rather than a proper, high-output research hub, the laboratory equipment is seriously lacking, which ends up severely limiting the actual hands-on, practical experience you can get. If you’re trying to build strong connections with the biotechnology industry, you’re basically on your own because the uni's network just isn't there. As a student, my biggest frustration was how they treat their own postgraduate researchers. I came in expecting far more support when it came to stepping into internal academic jobs or post-doc roles after finishing. Instead, the university consistently overlooks its own PGR students and openly prefers hiring outsiders. They basically treat international grads like a visa hassle they don't want to deal with. It sucks because you’re completely left to fend for yourself right when you need that first breakthrough in academia.

Medical Genetics MSc - Batch of 2025

Is a supportive university with a great learning in a safe student city.
Tips: Before joining, students should be prepared for an individual learning environment where time management is very important. I recommend students actively use universities' career services and start applying for internships and graduate opportunities early. Chester is a safe and beautiful city, making it comfortable for the international students to live in.
Likes (Safety): I felt very safe throughout my time studying in Chester. The campus had good security measures and CCTV, well-lit pathways, and support services for students. The city itself is peaceful, and I never had any major safety concerns while travelling or returning home, even in the evenings. People were generally friendly and helpful which made settling into a new country much easier.
Dislikes (Internships): The university provided some guidance through the career team and job portal; finding an internship or apprenticeship in my field still required individual effort. There are limited opportunities specifically related to genetics and laboratory science, and competition is high. I would have appreciated more industry partnerships, networking events and dedicated support for international students looking for relevant internships.

UNIVERSITY OF CHESTER IS QUITE OKAY
Tips: Coming here to join this course was not up to expectations. Here it's not like how we expected; the weather, food options, and part-time jobs are very different. It is difficult to adjust at first, but eventually everything will be fine. Budgeting is an important factor. The tutors are nice, but I do not like the teaching compared with India. Only 20 percent is what they teach; the rest we need to learn, understand, and write for assignments. The structure is different. It is not possible to study the practical side of a subject here. Quite worth the feels. I would say you can join here if you have certain experience, or join as an undergraduate. Many international students, especially from India, are studying for a master's. Not many Britons come here for master's; most can be seen as undergraduates. Many come here for PSW options. Students mostly stay in Chester, Liverpool, and Manchester. I say there are many options to stay in Liverpool, as there are cheap accommodation and food options for Indians, Sri Lankans, and Arabs. Part-time is difficult to get, so most of them go for care home or off-licence jobs. It is good if you want to get international exposure for quite some time, and you can work full-time during weekends.
Likes (Safety): Safety is a positive factor here at the university. I am studying at Queen's Park Campus. Other than students or staff, no one can enter without permission. Students or staff can enter the university with their cars. If any issues happen, the university will take strict action. As a bad experience, one or two times on the bus, they didn't give change for a big amount, so we had to use a card or mobile app for bus travel.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): We need to check online which jobs are available for sponsorship; otherwise, there is an option called the career hub at our university to check for post-study jobs. Job roles with this course, you can check with placement if opting for 2 years, maybe with banks, financial roles, or business analyst roles.

If education is your top priority, then choose this university.
Tips: A cultural shift is obviously present here, you need to mingle with all students of different ethnicities. I got a 2000-pound scholarship and it's better if we apply before enrolling here. I'm 100 per cent satisfied with the experience and curriculum of the course and post-graduation here in University but not with the country as there are a lot of flaws in the country, I often faced racism here.
Likes (Student Life): Library facilities and sports, gyms and everything in the University has provided a great place for spending time. As a postgraduate student, I really love it here every day there are games of different sports conducted and we need to register to participate. CSU in university is the union which organises all the events and other sports clubs that are there for every sport like cricket, hockey, football, swimming, callisthenics etc.
Dislikes (Part time work): There is very low availability of part-time jobs in the University, canteen and other event day jobs. The payment is the minimum wage in the UK. Part-time is manageable if you do under 15 hours more than that and we won't be able to focus on studies. There are job opportunity facilities here but they don't even give you a proper output of jobs so don't expect that here.

Good university to study.
Tips: I am an undergrad student, first I thought that everything would be easy but it is not. If you also want to come and take up a Bachelors course prepare your mind. Not many Indian students will be in an undergrad class for Masters there are many so at first it feels like something alone but then it gets better. Chester is a small town but a good one, for me it is better as I don't want myself in a big city yet I want abroad exposure. I got an international scholarship of 2000 GBP and my course is good. In this university there are many unique courses mostly for students. Before applying be sure about what you want to study and whether will that help you or not then apply because the course curriculum is very specific.
Likes (Quality of faculty): More focus is given on assignments rather than exams. Some of the exams are MCQ based. The teaching method is more like students teaching the professors about a topic while the professor adds pointers and clear the doubt. I like this method more as it helps to learn and remember fast. Professors are very supportive and helpful at the same time and they motivate us.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking. I learned it myself, before coming to UK I could only make tea but then I realised that it is better to learn cooking as it is cheaper and homemade which is better for health. Some Indian restaurants are in Chester like Chain station for veg food and some halaal options are also available for non veg in balti house.

Tips: Good grades are not enough to get you a job nowadays. The competition is very high. Make sure to get some work experience alongside your studies. Even if it is just on the weekends, part time jobs and internships will have a great impact on your resume.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Close to Manchester, Liverpool and Crewe you can find opportunities in various SME’s as well as MNC’s that are willing to offer you a visa sponsorship given you have the right qualifications and work experience for the job. The cost of living in these areas is also very affordable.
Dislikes (Internships): The university was very cautious about everyone’s health and wellbeing and thus not many opportunities were posted on the student job board but as soon as the situation was more stable, there were some really exciting opportunities. They did have many part time options in the university.

Moving Abroad for your Masters is possible
Tips: Unlike in India, you are on your own here, so be prepared for that. The university is really good, and the student support is excellent. You can avail scholarships up to 2000 pounds. For a middle-class girl, moving abroad was a dream, and most of them told me it requires 25 to 30 lakhs. I paid around £12250 for the fees after my scholarship (2024 Sep intake—fees might vary). If you’re applying for a loan, don’t worry; focus on your academics and work part-time, and you’ll be able to finish off your debts.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Throughout my master's, I had my faculties, helping me with all the resources intensively. If you’re someone who is hesitant to ask your doubts, then you’re going to find it hard. Use the library, the student support cell. Connect with your professors proactively; reach out to them in class or via Teams. They are always there for you.
Dislikes (Internships): Since I haven’t opted for a placement year. I had comparatively less guidance from the university after the completion of my master's. It’s your responsibility to find yourself an internship, and nobody is going to spoon-feed you; hence, connect with your professors proactively, and I’m sure they are going to help you.

Productive and Studious. Apart from what i title it, it depends on how you take it.
Tips: If you have anything else in your mind before coming to chester other that studying, like trying to focus less on studies and more in earning money, this is going to be difficult. you can earn what a normal student can earn in part time, nothing much.
Likes (Part time work): The choices if part time are vast off campus, on campus you have to try hard. Time management is easy if you give yourself a proper schedule to studies and part time. average pay out is the NI pay , which is 12.50 as of now. might get low or high depending on when you come here.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I would say if you have skills and proper license you might have chances of getting sponsored. Dont just think you can grab to branches and make it work. No, it doesn’t work that way. Be prepared to fry your brains first and then you can concentrate on earning and stuff. I am repeatedly saying these because i see most of the students going through this.

Tips: I required an IELTS score of 7 to get admission for my course; however, it was really difficult to cope with native accents initially. A sudden turn from exams to assignments was another area that made it difficult for me. Scholarships are rarely available, and I haven’t met a single person who has actually received published ones. Even though I'm satisfied with university, the amount I paid to be in here seems to be huge when compared to academic quality.

Balanced academic experience with no internship support but good personal growth opportunities.
Tips: One thing you really need to know is that you've got to be pretty proactive about finding internships or part-time work. Career guidance can be a bit hit-or-miss, so doing your own research and networking is honesty a must. You should definitely be ready for the cost of living toou2014it's not cheap. For me, the whole transition was pretty tough at first, mostly just getting used to the new education system and the way people communicate here. There's a big cultural shift in how people interact in class and at work, but I eventually found my feet by just talking to classmates more and getting into the daily rhythm of UK life. I didn't actually get any scholarships and had to self-found everything, which wasn't easy. I looked into some research funding later on, but I just didn't qualify for what was available back then. I'd still tell anyone thinking of coming here to check the university sits early, because scholarships depend on so many random things like your grades or where you're from. Overall, I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. My course gave me some good lab training and teach skills, and just living in the UK has made me way more independent and better at dealing with people from all over.

Sheffield, a city of hope.

Likes (Indian Food): A typical day at the university is just attending classes, lunch and then back home. There are a few events on campus organised by the Hallam Students' Union (HSU). The first 2 weeks of joining, we had welcome week events lined up for us to get acquaint to the university and union activities, clubs and societies.

Likes (Part time work): When I came to UK there were so many opportunity for part time. However, when more number of students came in the opportunity declined exponentially. Students are allowed to work for only 20 hours. So I used to work part time on weekends and work on my college assignments and applied for the jobs whilst at university.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are no proper restaurants like a typical Indian restaurant. I would say it's better to cook your own meal to save. If you want to dine outside then it would cost you around 10-15 which is 1000- 1500 rupees. And a normal subway would cost 6 pounds. So I would definitely recommend learning basic cooking before coming to any foreign country.

Try to embrace the cultural differences.
Tips: There is always a cultural difference when travelling to a different country. I would say embrace that difference and make this time to blend into the system. There are multiple scholarships, I would say they were difficult to get but it's always worth the try.
Likes (Public transportation): University is located at the heart of the city. So the public transportation is very reliable. There are city buses, trains and trams throughout the city which makes transportation easy and from this, you can actually save a lot of money. Bus offers a discount price for students which is 13 per ride.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I would say there is recession going on throughout the world. There are many companies that are willing to sponsor jobs but for freshers it's quite competitive. It is better to come with the job experience in hand for easy access to the job market. However, if the right skill and confidence is there you are a winner wherever you go.

Affordable and the best college!
Tips: Students should do research about the modules of their courses. They should check ranking of the university according to their chosen course. Do they want to live in a bigger city or a cosmopolitan city because Sheffield doesn't have so much to offer as compared to London and other big cities?
Likes (Value for money): Sheffield city is the 4th biggest city of United Kingdom and it is very cheap compared to others like Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Essex, Reeding and London. Quality of life is also very good with less population and less traffic. No crime is there. Everything is so cheap.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food isn't available so easily including the Indian groceries. When I came to this college, the whole country was under national lockdown and because of that, the options for food and groceries were so limited that I had to suffer a lot but now, the things have changed. Lockdown restrictions have been removed and now lots of options are available to go out and get whatever we want.

I loved my time at Hallam
Tips: Do avail yourself of any scholarship if you can; there's a fun & serious environment too; you'll love it there. Its location is 10/10; every other facility is available close by, so it's SAFE. Students are very helpful; we literally had a pickup service from the airport to the university, and they helped us book a cab for our stays.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Supportive, polite, friendly & easy to understand. I had failed one whole module in the first semester, but the staff was very supportive during remedial classes and pushed me to pass in the re-exam. They also made sure I actually understood the research methods modules.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There was no placement for my course, and the job offers were tough to get into despite applying to 100s. I had applied by the end time of my course, but there was no revert from the employer for a very long time despite following up for 2 weeks. No single reverts from any job applied there.

Diverse learning environment.
Tips: They should be prepared to work part time and have reliable skill sets. Students need to keep in mind the work culture and the type of studies for which they are pursuing. Great communication and the basics of finance will make your life easy. The most important thing is cooking which is much needed.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport connectivity is good across the city. And one should enjoy travelling through trams and trains. Bus service is also good. Travelling through Ola and Uber will cost you a fortune so better to get a rail pass or travel by bus. Cycling is also a good option.
Dislikes (Internships): There are no internship opportunities. You will need to do part time jobs and make a living out of it. Please prepare yourself to know at least the basics of communication and customer service. People are helpful and connections will help you to get a job.

Difficult at the start but the best experience throughout.
Tips: At the start, it will be a little difficult to manage everything at the same time. However, as time went by, it became a beautiful journey and a good experience overall. It was fun trying out a new culture and a totally different approach to education. However, it would have been better if I had done a little research on the pattern of study before starting.
Likes (Post study jobs): Very few companies offer sponsor visas, which makes it difficult to apply for jobs. Also, companies often require applicants to have a driver's license, which makes it difficult for freshers to get a job.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking myself because of the different food choices. There are a lot of Indian restaurants to go to once in a while with a lot of food options but are a little expensive. Also, there are a lot of Indian shops to get the ingredients to cook.
