MA Archaeology - Batch of 2025
3.8
The faculty is highly trained and internationally recognised.
Tips: Before joining Durham, students should know it's quite academically intense, especially for subjects like archaeology or history. There is a big shift from rote learning, as in most universities in India, to independent thinking. You are expected to read a lot, form your own arguments and participate in events and class projects. The collegiate system is a huge part of life here; all colleges have their own events, societies, living halls, and bars that form your main social experience. Durham is a small town, so coming from big cities like Delhi or Mumbai can be tough, but bigger cities like Newcastle and Edinburgh are not far away. There are many scholarships available at the university or college level. I did receive an international merit scholarship on tuition fees, some bursaries cover academic and conference-related expenses and full scholarships that cover everything from tuition to living. Overall, my experience has been very rewarding. The academic exposure, quality of teaching, and research opportunities are excellent. Of course, the weather and cost are challenges, but growth on both academic and personal fronts makes it worth it.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is highly trained and internationally recognised; they are experts in their fields and teach not just from textbooks but also from their real-world experience. They are also extremely helpful and can be visited during their office hours and they would definitely go out of their way to help and build your concepts as well as just talk when needed.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Durham is a small university town in northern England; thus, authentic Indian food options are limited. There are some Indian restaurants, but they are hardly authentic. However, you will get all ingredients in Tesco and other stores as well as plenty of off-license and desi stores to make anything from scratch. Tesco does have an indian section where you will get a lot of things as well.

MSc Management - Batch of 2025
3.8
A rewarding academic journey with real life skills.
Tips: I just grew into myself. I learned life skills like cooking, laundry and learned to handle my expenses better. I didn't avail any scholarships. Very satisfied, good course, learned 2-3 new modules which are actually good for practical uses in my business. The country is very amazing, be it culture, people are very hospitable, peaceful and beautiful. Durham, especially, I found to be one of the safest cities in the UK.
Likes (Value for money): We had top tier faculty and a wide range of facilities at the business school. Business school itself was a state of the art facility where we had meeting rooms, presentation rooms, faculty meetings, bloomberg terminals and lecture halls. Communication with the university and faculty was really feasible and they helped with the queries with best of their ability.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I didn't apply for the job so I am unaware of the post study sponsored jobs. But from what I have heard from my fellow mates, the UK's job market is very bad at the moment so even getting a job is difficult and sponsored is difficult.

An amazing university with great facilities.
Tips: Students should know the reality of not a lot of people being able to get a job after completing the course. It is a really tough period for the students who take up huge loans and work part time there to repay the loan and end up not getting a job. Think twice before joining.

MSc Management - Batch of 2024
3.2
This University is a good choice.
Tips: The university is well recognised amongst the recruiters in the UK. The programs are very well structured and the professors are very helpful. However, the Durham as a city is very dull. There is not much to do around. There are very less opportunities for part-time jobs because the city is so small. The 1st month in Durham is very difficult as the city is very cold, windy and hilly. You will have to walk a lot on inclined paths. So it is better to be mentally and physically prepared for that.
Likes (Safety): People around the city are very helpful. There are porters in every college to help students whenever needed. I have hardly faced any kind of racism from the people around me. The university has a night line for the female students to drop them to their destination late at night at a very low price of 2 pounds.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are hardly 2-3 Indian restaurants in Durham and the food is not that great. The taste doesn’t justify the high prices. Cooking on my own is so much more affordable and satisfying. The ingredients are easily available around the city. There is only one Indian grocery store though.

Overwhelming, challenging and beautiful
Tips: Students should know the essence of Durham is concerned with staying in college accommodation which offers a sense of community and belonging. Secondly, Durham is a very close-knit and quiet city and the weather is mostly rainy and cold. Thirdly, the course a student selects will get challenging eventually.

MSc Management (International Business) - Batch of 2023
4.5
Brilliant overall experience.
Tips: It was a smooth transition, and fellow students and staff were very welcoming and accepting. I didn't feel like an outsider at all. I did not avail any scholarships. I enjoyed every aspect of university, from the course, wider student experience, the city, and the people I met.
Likes (Part time work): Many part time opportunities are available on campus, such as Student Ambassador, etc as well as off campus. Many students manage to secure part time roles through alumni support even before stepping on campus, which ensures a smooth transition. Most students find that managing their academic workload alongside part time work can be quite stressful, but given that students can only work 20 hours a week, with good planning and scheduling, it's definitely manageable.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Public transport is good during the day and this is not an issue when living in college student halls. But buses typically stop running at around 11 pm and start by 6:15 am. So, during this window, if someone wants to get home from a student event and live off campus, the only options are taxis or friends who have cars or bicycles. Students have the option to avail the student day pass for 2.60 within Durham and nearby zones, which allows multiple trips in those zones using the same pass. The Durham Railway Station is well connected to London, Newcastle, and Edinburgh which can all be reached on direct trains making wider travel connectivity very simple and accessible. The nearest international airport is in Newcastle, around 30 minutes by taxi from central Durham.

There is a career support center to guide for opportunities.
Tips: The cultural shift that I experienced was that people mostly got put out of their homes only on weekends and everything closes by 5. I was given a scholarship of a certain amount on my tuition fees by the university for my course. I am satisfied with the university, course and country.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus was well connected to the rest of the city since it was a small town and public transportation was easily accessible. Everyone mostly preferred being on foot and exploring the city and also go to the classes on foot. For the students, public transportation is affordable.
Dislikes (Internships): There is a career support centre to guide. They help you with reviewing your CV by telling if the ATS will go through it or not and guiding which place would be best suited to apply for the same. There are a few available internships relevant to my field of study. Not in the city specifically but can be anywhere in the UK.

Difficult to get employed post-study.
Tips: If you want to study here to get a taste of the multicultural environment, this university isn’t for you. You will find 95% familiar and friendly Indians with whom you can make friends and hang out. If you do not have a preference in that, carry on. Academically, there isn't anything great about this university; lecturers do their job, and they are not nosy. Not a lot of stress attending classes or in submissions.
Likes (Indian Food): There’s a lot of abundance for Indian restaurants and chains in this country. Some are really good, some are not up to the mark. Indian grocery stores are available everywhere if you want to shop and cook at home to get a feel of home. But you wouldn’t really miss home in terms of food.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Students who come to the UK are struggling to find a job, as we all know. More than 20,000 students travel back to their home country after paying for PSW to stay here, and eventually give up. It has been very tough out here in this country as there is a lot of competition. Business analysts, finance roles, and Hospitality Management are where you can now find roles, but they also expect a minimum of 2 years of experience. Freshers would struggle here post study unless you know someone internally in a company to get recommended.

Resourceful and industry-oriented university.
Tips: UEL is a very conducive and career-oriented university. Multiple avenues are available for a variety of support, including mental health, financial help, and career advice. Although I did not avail any resources, I can attest that professors are very helpful and amiable. I would recommend doing in-depth research about career options and the job market after the course you are interested in, so you are not struggling to find employment post completion of studies.
Likes (Indian Food): London is one of the world's most multicultural cities, and authentic food from almost every country and culture can be found in the right areas. Eating out regularly can become expensive, especially for students, budget options and deals are always available.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Completing an eligible course gives you the option to apply for the Graduate Route visa being changed to 18 months from 24 months, which allows you to work full-time in any job. However, the Graduate Route visa cannot be extended, and if one wants to remain in the UK, eligibility must be assessed for other visas, such as Global Talent or Skilled Worker.

The climate is so wonderful here.
Tips: I haven't experienced much cultural shift because of my university. Most of the students are from India, I just found new cultural things which mainly get celebrated here in London such as Easter, Halloween and Christmas. I get scholarship on the basis of my marks in my Bachelors and 12th class, because in my 12th class I scored more than 80 marks out of 100 and my board was CBSE. The allowance was in full concession. I'm completely satisfied with it.
Likes (Safety): Every place is captured with CCTV 24x7. Easy to access train and bus at midnight, which also have cctv. While travelling on the bus, I lost my bus card. I was not able to get on the bus because of that but the driver was kind, he allowed me to just by seeing my university card.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Rules get changed if you want to get a permanent settlement in the country. You have to live in the country for at least 10 years. And getting a sponsorship job its all bit difficult. But if you get the job and it also sponsors you, then it's best to survive in the country as you have to prove your value to the company. I would like to permanently immigrate to this country.

My universe is very friendly when it comes to help students.
Tips: I think they should just know the basic knowledge about what a university offers to their international students such as academic programs, key deadlines, campus resources, student support, student services, rules, be aware of facilities like the library, career, Central and clubs scholarship, and even get some knowledge about accommodation, housing accommodation and etc.
Likes (Indian Food): I gave 5 stars rating to food option in my country of origin because of the incredible diversity, culture, richness and availability of both traditional and modern cuisine. One of the main reason for this high rate is the variety of regional food available is nice.
Dislikes (Public transportation): In London, public transport is really good. The only problem is that sometimes you can get very crowded and you might have to wait for half an hour for your bus or train. That's the only reason I don't like but rest, I think it's very good.

Good university for pursuing BSc in CS.
Tips: I couldn't believe that everyone at this university was super friendly and easily approachable. I was surprised to receive a 3,000 scholarship while applying to the programme for my first year, so that's a nice plus. I'm happy here, although I can't say it's one of the top choices out there. This is a really good university if you are looking for a college that is in an area with city life. You will not find it here if you're looking for something with more greenery and a rural setting. If you want to attend a university where you will be helped as much as possible, this is the place for you. Every member of the staff, faculty, and administration is extremely dedicated to helping students thrive in their studies. The level of support you get from your tutor is something else. They are there for you at any time of day, any day of the week, no matter where you are. You can contact them for any questions or concerns you have about your modules. I'm sure I won't ever regret coming to this university.
Likes (Internships): They do help us or guide us 100% for our internship. When I was trying to get my internship, it was hard for me because, as a student who doesn't have any idea about the system going around in this country, it was hard. But the tutor really helped me to get one and guided me through it.
Dislikes (Value for money): The fees are a bit higher for international students, and local students pay only half as much for the same courses. I paid 12,700 GBP for my first year before scholarship, but it's increasing every year, which makes it a bit harder for me. Then one of my mates in the programme was paying way lessu20149,000 GBP per year. That disappoint me a lot.

You get a lot of free resources as a UEL student.
Tips: You get a lot of free resources as a UEL student, which you must utilise. The university spans across 3 major campuses in East London, and the accommodation within the University is at the Docklands campus. If you are planning to enrol on a course at this university, then it will be ideal to either live on campus or live nearby so that you can best experience the student life. There are various opportunities to participate in cultural, sports, fun, creative, tech and informative activities all across the University campuses for all the students all year round. The atmosphere is amazing and all the festivals are celebrated throughout the year. The faculty is from all over the world, with different accents and teaching styles. This might create some barriers for students from the Indian subcontinent. They do try to help the students in any way they can, and the faculty has a wealth of knowledge, but there are still some communication problems, especially for students with less experience with the English language.

Strong academics, amazing student life and a diverse learning environment.
Tips: I came here after Covid, and I can see a difference between the Indian and London education systems. There was a cultural shift in my experience here, but it did positively influence my awareness, celebrations, and the impact I’m having here. Unfortunately, I didn't get any scholarships. The rejections I’ve encountered were definitely a part of the learning curve. Overall, my experience in London has been quite rewarding. I am satisfied with the course, coursework, knowledge, faculty, networking opportunities, and social events, including all the parties and gatherings.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty for my course were very accessible and approachable. The most unique and very interesting methodology that I find quite helpful was implementing whatever you study into real life scenarios right after you study with help of role play, group discussion. Diversity was very much so in play I had teachers from Belgium, France, USA and UAE.
Dislikes (Part time work): Considering the job market, you do have to hunt for the part-time and go to every extent and try every option available. You need to organize your day and work, and most of the time it works out quite well for people. The pay range is from minimum wage to 1-2 pounds or more.

The university is good for international students, but you should keep your options open.
Tips: You will definitely face hardships because of the weather, but it's really lovely. I had no scholarships but students do get it, so talk with the university, I'm sure you'll get it. The university is okay not that good, but it's in London, that's the best part. The crowd is almost all Indian, so you won't get much exposure to foreign students. But that's good and bad at the same time. The courses are really well structured but don't take the placement year. It's useless and will not help you. What matters is you come here and get a job in a good country with a quality crowd.
Likes (Student Life): The student life is absolutely amazing, but it is subjective. If you are an outgoing person who is friendly with everyone, you will enjoy it here. The campus organizes events that keep students engaged, and they also have a common house where we can play games, do arts and crafts, and use the PS. There are many communities, such as the Indian, Bangladesh, and other regional communities, that organize events on special occasions.
Dislikes (Indian Food): For someone coming here from India, the restaurants here are a big disappointment. Both, the taste and the money are not worth it. I rather prefer cooking by myself. I'm not a professional but it is what I grew up eating and those taste hold a special place in our heart.

Money is not well spent.
Tips: No matter how much the University provides academics students have to look for employability skills. Only those who are in the eyes of the staff will be able to take up roles. This will fall on the level of enthusiastic participation. Scholarship and laptop allowance are there for free. UK is best but UEL is not even in average in the performance. I got lot of opportunities but I am afraid not everyone would be getting not even 5%.
Likes (Student Life): There are many things that go to keep the students active in campus. Though sometimes everyone goes for various part times and are not able to participate but is worth. Every now and then you will get goodies and good enjoyment. The campus is very impressive.
Dislikes (Internships): Mostly the department is trying to enhance the options, but unfortunately, there is nothing to learn or the quality of the learning or encouragement is not fruitful. It is better to take any analytics course than IBM. Doesn't fill the late for opportunities or employability. Internships are not much to go for practical exposure. They say they have a lot of plans but are uncertain.

Good country to live in. Satisfied with the University.
Tips: After coming to this college students can easily take up a job here and get settled. There are many opportunities. I did not experience much transition after coming here as I have lived like this in India. England is a good country to live in and be more modern. In my university the professors are good and they are very helpful and so is the infrastructure but the fee is a little bit much as compared to the facilities but it is okay I am satisfied with it.

Cheerful and intellectual experience
Tips: Scholarships are only offered to students who have been consistent in their academics and have a GPA of 3 and above. Also speaking good English and being an active participant will get you a lot of opportunities and you will be able to connect with people across the city and campus.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus is very well connected and many options are available to commute like buses, rental cycles, trams, etc. Some students even get bus passes issues through the local depot. You can even get assistance from the University office. The tickets are also very cheap and helpful to international students who do not have their own conveyance.
Dislikes (Value for money): It gets very difficult for international students to settle down here due to very high living costs and rents. Also, food options are not adequate and it would be advised to cook your own food and buy your own groceries. Part-time jobs are also very less here and if you are able to secure then pay would not be that high.

Easy going university. You need to improve your skills by doing practical projects
Tips: There is not much of a cultural change because you can find many people from your home country India here. I got 2500 pounds international scholarship for only the first semester and for the next 2 years, the chances of getting scholarships for Indians is nearly 0 per cent. I like the course and the modules offered at the university.
Likes (Public transportation): It is well connected to central London which is 20 minutes of train ride. The bus charges are low compared to London living standards and for buses, 24hr transportation is available in the city. The last train ride to the university is at around 11 pm in Central London.
Dislikes (Internships): We have careerzone in the University which helps students soft skills required for the jobs and guides students on how to prepare job-ready resumes. They will conduct the mock interviews as well. The internships through the university are available only to UK and EU students.

Easy-going, fun and lovable learning experience!
Tips: Life can initially be very challenging as setting down in a new country and environment can be stressful. Also, accommodation can be another challenge so be well prepared or book your accommodation in advance before moving in. Was offered 2K pounds of scholarship as an early bird. Was very satisfied with the course and curriculum.
Likes (Indian Food): Many Indian food outlets are available near our campus from northern India which is good in taste but cannot be compared to Indian standards. The food usually here is a bit on the expensive side so would not suggest eating out regularly if you are on a strict budget.
Dislikes (Student Life): Campus has very good infrastructure and facilities like library, dorms, food outlets. Vending machines are also available. Campus culture here is very different as compared to India. Student unions and societies organize many events on a daily basis which you can participate in. One can also become a member and contribute to the clubs.

Diversity and well connected campus
Tips: Go through in details about your course modules. Very important to understand which are the subjects you will be studying once you start the course. There is not much cultural shift as such in my Masters programme as 90% of the students in my class were from India. However, overall staying in London there is some cultural change that you will come across.

Not supportive and discriminating
Tips: Choose this university only if you are doing Masters in cloud computing or sports degree. Also you should have enough funds for survival as there is a rare chance of having a part time job. You should have substantial work experience and skills so that you can secure a good job in UK, don't depend on the university, they won't help.
Likes (Public transportation): The transportation is good but I have deducted one point because of the frequent disclosure. All three campuses of the University are well connected with the city's public transport, there are two railway stations connected with the main campus and also University provides bus service across all three campuses.
Dislikes (Part time work): Honesty, talking about on campus jobs, I found it a very big scam. As what University administration advertises and the reality of the jobs. They follow discriminating policies for Asian students while making recruiting decisions, they try to suppress Asian applicants by misinforming or completely not informing them about the job opportunities. Still an Asian candidate manages to make an application they will reject it without any solid reason and prefer white and black even if they are lacking behind the Asian applicants.
