BSc (Hons) in Banking and International Finance - Batch of 2025
4.4
Interactive, social and high supported university life as a student in London.
Tips: Joining City has been a smooth transition from high school. I have found the university to be quite supportive when it comes to the different facts of student life in London. I did not avail of any scholarships as I applied through Clearing. However, the City does have academic scholarships for post-final exams wherein a certain part of tuition is cut off if you are within 10% of the highest scores. I have enjoyed my journey at City and London both. It has been a life-changing experience which I can positively say would have a great impact on my life in times to come.

Satisfied - worth the money
Tips: There are a lot of Indian students, so no big cultural shift. There was one scholarship from the university of 2000 pounds which was provided to most of the international students. Very satisfied with the university - better than many higher rank universities at various levels. We get good support from the university.
Likes (Indian Food): It is very easy to get access to Indian vegetables and groceries within London. Though there are a lot of Indian restaurants, the cost of living in London is so high that it is not affordable to eat outside regularly. Cooking is a must - you may eat outside once or twice a week.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): At present, the job market is not that great in the UK where the demand is less while the competition is so high. Especially it is very difficult to get a job with sponsorship. India seems to thrive better. There is a 50% chance for me to settle permanently in this country.

Supportive and encouraging, but still requires you to take the first step.
Tips: Loughborough University London was a good experience. It is important to make use of everyone and every event, to talk to your peers and ask them questions about themselves, their goals and their cultures. The staff are friendly. I got a 20% scholarship on the overall tuition. It was for academic merit, and that made the course a lot more affordable. The faculty is great here. They’re all well-educated and qualified for their roles. They support the students to the best of their ability. Not only can you talk to them outside of class, but you can even email them. Since they’ve all accomplished so much in their fields, it’s worthwhile to ask them about topics that are covered in class. Overall, I am very much satisfied with the course, the university and the country.
Dislikes (Internships): The quality of the support is subpar, but there is some guidance. I feel that the connectivity from education to any kind of work, including internships, is lacking. Also, after you graduate from the university, the support in helping you get an internship is vague and generic.

A practical pathway to settlement in the UK- Loughborough and beyond.
Tips: Before joining Loughborough University, students should know that it offers a perfect blend of academic excellence, practical learning, and vibrant student life. It's highly regarded for engineering, business, but it is the world's best university for sport for almost a decade now, with state-of-the-art facilities and a campus that feels like its own community. However, students must be proactive-opportunities are abundant, but they require initiative. Accommodation fills up fast, and managing finance, especially for international students, needs advance planning. Overall, I'd highly recommend it to students who are ambitious, open-minded, and ready to adapt.
Likes (Value for money): The course that I study is something I would never find in my home country. The curriculum is extensive, the faculty members are incredibly experienced and knowledgeable, and the quality of brand collaboration is high. Opportunities to network with highly reputable members of the industry are represented and encouraged.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The United Kingdom offers limited opportunities for international students or immigrants to settle unless they secure a stable source of employment. Settlement becomes significantly more attainable when supported by strong economic prospects. I would personally like to settle only if the work opportunities are sustainable and offer a wide range of opportunities.

Big city and bigger opportunities.
Tips: Before joining, know that Loughborough London is quite industry-focused and self-driven. Opportunities are there, but you have to take initiative. Coming from Mumbai, I did feel a cultural shift; things here are more structured and individualistic, but it's helped me grow personally and professionally. I received a partial scholarship based on merit, which reduced my tuition. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the course, university, and life in London. It's intense but full of opportunity if you make the most of it.
Likes (Indian Food): London has Indian food everywhere, from casual takeaways to full-blown thalis. Areas like Southall, Wembley, Harrow, Neasden, Kingsbury, and Queensbury in West London, and Upton Park, East Ham, and Forest Gate in East London, are packed with authentic Indian restaurants that genuinely hit home. And honesty, considering it's London, the prices are pretty reasonable too. As a Mumbaikar, being able to grab a vada pav from places like Shri Krishna Vada Pav in Tooting or Fusion Masti in East London for just 3.50 feels like a win. It's not just about taste, it's the nostalgia, the comfort, and the fact that these options are so accessible that makes it a solid 5 for me.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): While I really enjoy living in London and see a lot of potential here, the long-term immigration and settlement process in the UK feels quite uncertain. The requirements are quite stringent, and securing sponsorship or a visa that leads to permanent residence isn't always straightforward especially when you're just starting out.

The university is strong in terms of academics and discipline.
Tips: Initially, transitioning to life in London was quite challenging, especially adjusting to the weather. But with time, things started to fall into place, and the city slowly grew on me. Thankfully, I moved here with my friend, which made the adjustment much easier, both emotionally and financially. College life here is very different from that in India. It's harder to make friends outside of campus because everyone is busy juggling part-time jobs, assignments, cooking, and maintaining their accommodation. That aid, the academics were genuinely strong. I enjoyed the classes and assignments. Finding a part-time job was difficult for me and took a lot of time. On the other hand, my friend was able to land a role as a Customer Service Advisory with Lloyds within just a month. It goes to show that everyone's journey is different, and it is hard to generalise these experiences. Even after completing my studies over a year ago, I'm still finding it challenging to secure a full-time job. My friend, however, managed to get one, which again highlights how outcomes can vary a lot depending on the individual. But one great thing about coming here is that you get to interact with a lot of people from different countries and cultures, which definitely broadens your network and perspective. I was also fortunate to receive a scholarship based on my undergraduate academic performance in India, which reduced my tuition from 25,000 to 22,000. Overall, studying abroad is a major decision. You need to be mentally and financially prepared, especially for the first few months, as they can be quite draining. But those early struggles teach you a lot. If possible, try to come with a friend or at least have some genuine acquaintances here to avoid feeling isolated. As for the university itself, it was strong in terms of academics and discipline, although it is not very well-known among people despite being ranked in the top 20.
Likes (Indian Food): Since the London campus is located near Westfield Malls Stratford, you have plenty of options, including many quick service joints. Plus, as a vegetarian myself, I found it easy to locate many pure vegetarian and vegan restaurants across the city. Wembley is a hub for finding good Indian food.
Dislikes (Internships): This is a one-year course, and it doesn't permit you to take up any internships during vacation time. There is a career support department you can engage with, and they send some opportunities. Even outside, you're not permitted to work for internships because of the visa restriction of 20 hours of work, so it's a kind of disadvantage.
