Master of Business Administration (Essex MBA) - Batch of 2025
3.9
Beautiful fun loving and nostalgic
Tips: Before you actually arrive at Essex, you definitely want to sort out your housing and figure out how you're getting around. The Colchester campus is pretty unique because it’s built around these massive concrete squares, and honestly, it is incredibly easy to get completely lost during your first week. You’ll save yourself a massive headache if you pull up the campus map early and get a feel for where your lecture halls actually are. It’s also a really smart move to download your module syllabus and timetable the second they go live so you aren't scrambling and missing classes right off the bat. Outside of campus, make sure you explore the town of Colchester itself. It’s actually Britain's oldest recorded town, so it has a cool historic vibe, but you'll want to figure out the bus routes from campus into the town center early on so you know where the best food spots, supermarkets, and pubs are.

Lovely campus good facilities
Tips: They actually have scholarships for anyone who cleared their HSC with over 60%, but just heads up—you also need to score really well in English to qualify. The info I got was solid, but honestly, the whole study abroad scene in the UK is a bit of a mess right now. With all the recent law changes and them cutting back on post-study work (PSW) visas, it’s getting tricky. You definitely need to do your homework and research everything thoroughly before making a move.

Balanced growth, strong support with room to improve.
Tips: Programme structure is rigorous but rewarding; workload can be heavy in core terms. Campus resources are strong like the library, career centre, counselling but some services have long wait times. Housing options vary by department; apply early and check visa/tuition requirements if you're international. Caring into a new city can be overwhelming at first, but peer groups and orientation events helped a lot. Cultural differences mainly involve communication style and time management expectations.
Likes (Safety): The campus feels very secure with a visible security presence well-lit areas and quick response times. Low crime rates in the area and a strong sense of community trust. The campus feels very secure: visible security presence well-lit areas and quick response times. Low crime rates in the area and a strong sense of community trust.
Dislikes (Internships): The internship opportunities were limited in number and geographic availability and several postings required prior experience I didn't have. Some resources exist including a general career portal and a few campus workshops but guidance is fragmented.

The university will not provide any support for internships.
Tips: A lot of cultural shifts happen but it's not related to college, I say. It depends on who you are living with after coming here. I have got a 5000 scholarship for the total tuition fees because of my graduation percentage. So if you have a good percentage in graduation, worth asking the university for any support. I am satisfied with my university very well but not with the country. Long-term settlement is not so good in this country.
Likes (Indian Food): Plenty of Indian restaurants and international cuisines are there. It completely depends on the individual and their working patterns. If they can manage, they should cook or else if you want to eat out, you have plenty of options available.
Dislikes (Internships): The university will not provide any support for internships like in India, here we have to do everything on our own. You need to find on your own and there will be a tri-party agreement among the university, the student and the company. Also it's not worth doing a placement course in the UK.

The college is great and offers variety of courses and the campus is the best.
Tips: If you want to go to a university with a good campus, then the University of Essex is the place to go. Some of the courses they offer are not as good as others, so choose your course based on the ranking. The university ranks well for students with a math background, but they offer a variety of courses with slightly different modules, so choose the course that is right for you. I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Safety): I felt safe walking to the university even though it was a bit of a distance from the city. The surroundings were good and secure and I never felt unsafe. It was convenient to travel there but it was still safe to travel.
Dislikes (Value for money): Even after getting the scholarship the quality of education for a particular course was not that good. Some of the professors weren't as good as expected and the college only lasted for 6 months. After that you would have to work on your major project from home.

Tips: There are no part-time jobs, students are living in London for their part-time job. Students should come here with some prior knowledge. Don't take exams slightly. If you love nature then Essex is the best place to live in. If you really want to study then University of Essex is good, but if you want to do more things along with your studies then go somewhere near London.

Tips: Have no preconceived notions about the country and the people. Do not focus on making Indian friends but make friends with people from different countries and be open to enjoying cultural differences. Spend a of time in the library and stay on campus as it opens more avenues for TA opportunities.
Likes (Safety): The law and order maintenance is really great and the people are really friendly and accommodating to international students. The people don't judge and are very friendly. The student council and faculty are really helpful as well. Also, the environment is very refreshing.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Personally as an Indian, it was different for me to get used to many fast food options so would prefer cooking. Niche ingredients are hard to find as well. Buying food can be really expensive. The flavour profile of the fast food was not to my liking.

A budget ranking university for computer science.
Tips: It is a good university if you’re looking for a budget, ranking and amenities for computer science department. This university is located a bit far away from London which makes it bit hard to travel around in UK. But this gives you the advantage of living on a budget.
Likes (Student Life): This university gives good study exposure, entertainment and affordability in living as it is located a bit far away from the city. As a student, it’s your job to make sure that you make the best out of it by studying and keeping yourself updated for the assignments.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part time work in the university is easy to get but you get only a few hours of work. Hence, you may need to find more part time jobs to support yourself. This I guess is the same for all the universities around. This can be easily compensated by finding a job outside the campus.

Campus and faculty are great at University Of Essex
Tips: Campus and faculty are great. Might have to struggle a bit for relevant work experience so if you can ride that out financially, it’s a good experience. The city is great. Limited options when it comes to hanging out but you can always go to London which isn’t far.
Likes (Indian Food): Plenty of food options in the city and online for Indian/South Asian food. Good takeaway options as well. Might help to learn cooking though as delivery fees are a lot and not something I was used to paying. Other than that, plenty of choices for both Indian and other cuisines.
Dislikes (Part time work): It’s slightly difficult to find part time work relevant to my course (MBA) in Colchester as there’s not much work here. So, the part time options are restaurants or call centers, etc. If you get online, you might find work elsewhere around but you’ll have to spend on transportation then.

For sure, it is a brand. You have to decide what you want from the University.
Tips: I would say, please participate in all the activities that come your way. Also, the academic curriculum is a blend of remote classes and physical classes. It is also very important to do a lot of self study so that you can improve your base. There's a very big library and a study center with computers, use that as much as you can.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is good. There's a very active student union that brings in new events every now and then. Plenty of societies to join and a good campus with loads of facilities. Facilities include a gym, sports center and a huge campus with greenery. There are a couple of restaurants and takeaways too. There are also other shops for daily needs within the campus.
Dislikes (Internships): I have done a masters degree. So, we did not have enough time to do an internship. University does not help much in getting an internship. However, there are websites called careerhub and gradintel wherein even alumni can have access and look for internships and jobs, including part time jobs.

Peace If I would say this word then I really mean it. We had a really beautiful university
Tips: Weather conditions were the first thing that you will face, as it took me almost 2 months to get used to it, like it was extremely cold and used rain very unusually. It is advised to check the weather before leaving your room. Yes, I got like £5k scholarship based on BSc marks. It's like a 10 out of 10 experience in terms of university courses and countries.
Likes (Public transportation): My accommodation was roughly a 20-minute walk from the main University of Essex campus which was fine most days. But whenever I was running late or just didn't feel like walking, I'd just hop on the bus. The transit links around Colchester are actually great—the bus stop was literally right outside my building with buses pulling up every 10 minutes, so it saved my life more than once. Getting to the train station was a 20-minute walk the other way. Made it incredibly easy to head into town or just grab a train down to London on weekends.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Basically, when the sponsorship rate to hire an international student was less than most of the companies used to hire, but now the minimum sponsorship package is £41k, which is almost double, so it's really difficult to find a sponsorship. So in my field the job offered are analyst, junior analyst, data analyst, and business analyst, and the salary depends on the company policy

Good academics and friendly campus.
Tips: I believe what students should really prepare themselves for before going to university is the curriculum. You should have the habit of writing. We'll have to take coursework of usually 3000-5000 words so mugging up won't really help you. You need to learn to express yourself.
Likes (Public transportation): Colchester is a beautiful town and the buses ply through the university campus and there are bus passes which have a student discount. The frequency of buses going to the main city centre is actually great. I recommend getting the annual pass to the city centre as it saves a lot. If you are travelling elsewhere you can purchase a separate ticket but you'll end up saving a lot till the city centre.
Dislikes (Internships): Looking for an internship totally depends on the student. One should ideally plan the intership hours based on the class timings. Plan your days and provide a schedule to your intership provider for complete clarity. You will not want to miss your classes and at the same time not miss the internship hours.

Tips: I had a scholarship for my master's and I could easily blend in the environment, everyone is so helpful around the campus especially the faculty also there to guide you. My course was brilliant and I love the way it was curated. I was very satisfied with my uni because it has so many other facilities and support.
Likes (Public transportation): It is because the bus service is very convenient and punctual and also you can track your buses on the application. Every bus goes through the uni which makes it more approachable and easy to travel. I paid around 150 pounds for a year altogether and I got a student discount as well and received a bus pass. Also, you get a student ID with which you can get a student discount around the city.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): It is because the sponsorship route has become more challenging and difficult to achieve and not every company is willing to provide sponsorship to a mere graduate without a decent experience. mostly IT, Software engineering and healthcare sector and also care homes they are offering sponsorship, mostly according to my research.

Henley business school: Where Global exposure meets career paths.
Tips: Henley Business School is well reputed and ranked among the top business schools in the UK, so it offers an opportunity to network with employers, and there is a placement fair that tends to happen often, so you get the chance to communicate with employers from major firms. The fees can be expensive for average international students, but the university provides good career opportunities, employer outreach, and networking events.
Likes (Student Life): Honestly, campus life here is a blast. There’s always some sort of event or club thing happening, so it’s super easy to meet people and network without it feeling forced. My favorite part was probably just hanging out with people from completely different parts of the world. The uni does a really good job of making international students feel welcome, which honestly made the whole moving process and settling into a new routine way less stressful.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The professors at Henley really know their stuff and are super easy to talk to. A lot of the teaching is built around real case studies and group projects, which actually helps you figure out how business works in the real world. That said, the teaching quality can be a bit of a mixed bag depending on which lecture or module you end up with.

There are a lot of cultural societies within the university itself. So just be active and you'll enjoy your time there. Just be first in everything, apply for in-campus jobs as soon as possible as it gets filled fast.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): It is a little difficult for those who have 0 experience back in India; there is a lot of competition here. You really need to be the best at something. Usually, you'll get entry level jobs for the first couple of years and then you might get the sponsorship from the same company.

A decent programme that could do more.
Tips: Being an international student from Bangalore, my time at Henley was honestly a bit of a mixed bag. The MSc in Entrepreneurship and Innovation definitely has its bright spots, but there were plenty of times I felt it fell short. I really think the curriculum could've done a lot more to actually prep us for the real world—both for starting a business and just getting hired. Some of the modules felt like total filler, honestly. Like the leadership one—it was just too generic and didn't really give me anything I could actually use. The best part by far was the consultancy project. Getting to work with an actual company like AirZone was the only time it felt truly hands-on.

Masters in Finance - Batch of 2026

Great Learning Environment with Real-World Exposure
Tips: Before you commit to Henley, just be ready for the M.Sc. Finance to be a bit of a grind—it’s pretty heavy on the math and analytical side, especially when you get into stuff like financial modelling. If you already know your way around Excel and basic stats, you’ll have a massive head start. Also, definitely get your budget sorted before you arrive because the UK isn't cheap, and trying to juggle a part-time job with these modules is a real balancing act. My own transition was mostly fine, though the teaching style was a bit of a shock at first since it’s way more about independent study and speaking up in class than what I was used to. I was actually lucky enough to land the Dean’s Merit Scholarship—that £10k tuition discount made a huge difference. I think getting my application in early really helped there. Honestly, even with the weather being a bit depressing and the job market being so competitive for us international students, I’m really happy I came. The lecturers are great and the whole environment just feels really supportive.
Likes (Quality of faculty): I went with 5 stars for the faculty because the lecturers at Henley really know their stuff. It’s not just textbook theory either; a lot of them have actually worked in finance or done serious research, so they bring in those real-world examples that actually make sense. The way they teach is super supportive and they actually encourage us to get involved in the discussions. Plus, they’re genuinely easy to talk to if you're stuck and need some extra help after class. Honestly, the quality of the teaching is probably the best part of the whole M.Sc. Finance course.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I gave it a 3 for post-study jobs mostly because of the visa situation. Don’t get me wrong, the M.Sc. Finance at Henley is solid and people do land roles as analysts or in graduate schemes, usually starting around £30k to £38k. But honestly, for us international students, it’s a bit of a battle. There just aren't that many companies willing to sponsor visas compared to how many of us are applying. The uni does try to help with networking and careers stuff, but at the end of the day, it really comes down to your own experience and just how the market is behaving when you graduate.

Tips: Transitioning was good. I learned a lot of good stuff and was taking life and career seriously. I did not avail any scholarship, everything was paid by me. I used to work part-time and manage my expenses. University was good so as country. For course, I could have chosen better.
Likes (Safety): The campus is safe and has a secure environment with strict standards. Rules are followed and things are taken care of. I haven't faced any problem with security even at night. I used to sit in the library which operates 24/7 and even late night services are there and a secure service. Good facilities.
Dislikes (Internships): No internships are available for one year course. Some courses do offer internships but most of them do not. I faced some trouble with securing internships. A degree from this university does not have very significant value in your resume and on the university tag.

BSc in Business and Management (Entrepreneurship) - Batch of 2024
Offered by Henley Business School
4.6
Henley Business School is in the top few of the business universities lists for a reason.
Tips: Henley Business School is an amazing university with unbelievable opportunities to grow. Student life is just something you have to experience for yourself. There is a cultural shift, but it's not very harsh and it's as much as you would experience setting anywhere else than your hometown. I'm very satisfied with my choice of university, course, and country.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Exceptional tutors and professors with very supportive and exciting methods of teaching. The faculty had their office timings wherein we could schedule meetings with them on a one-on-one basis. Some even allowed us to walk in, and apart from your professors for each module, you also had an academic tutor who would help you settle in and teach you about the different methods used at the university for assessment and teaching, etc., and you could contact them with any problems you had related to your education or even your personal life.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The current job market is quite challenging and competitive, so finding a job can be difficult. However, Henley Business School has thousands of visa sponsors with fantastic job opportunities. To be successful, you need to have a good CV with experience, or at least show initiative in different parts of your life.
