Masters in Physics - Batch of 2026

A beautiful adventure awaits.
Tips: Germany is a beautiful country, to begin with, and Heidelberg is the cherry on the top. There aren't many cultural socks I faced while coming from India except that people here are strict regarding the laws and the rules. There are many unsaid rules such as you have to let people offboard before you onboard, you are supposed to carry your ID cards wherever you are travelling etc. I am very satisfied with the course and the country I am in and would ask everyone to definitely check it out as one of your options.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The quality of faculty is top notch especially in Europe, with scientists around the world and professors highly educated and qualified, it is one of the best universities to study in. The teaching methods are similar to what is followed in other European universities but the quality every professor has is phenomenal.
Dislikes (Value for money): For every university in Baden Wurttemberg, an international student from a non-EEA country has to pay a 1500 Euros semester contribution including Indians. This fee is different from the semester fee of 151 Euros and I feel that this is a bit expensive considering the other universities in other states. Also, you have to buy a 27 Euros monthly pass as you do not get a Deutschland ticket at this university.

Heidelberg: An enchanting student city
Tips: Joining the University of Heidelberg was one of the best decisions I took in my life. It's the biggest hub of astronomy in the whole of Germany, with more than 400 researchers working in various fields of astronomy. The university provides a lot of majors to specialize in, which makes it very diverse. One of the university's most attractive features is its very flexible system when it comes to taking courses. The university doesn't impart a fixed curriculum to students; instead, the choice of courses is left to students' discretion. The professors are active researchers who impart lectures while keeping a research mentality in mind. They also respect international students and often advise students to make the most out of university life. They are very approachable, and students can do research assistantships in their group for credit or money. Students can also do various part-time jobs easily without risking their education and can earn a good living. Germany's infrastructure is brilliant which actively supports a fit and healthy lifestyle. Though there is a bit of a housing crisis in Heidelberg, good planning in advance can help deal with this issue. The university also hosts multiple student canteens and a big central library, which are open till 1 a.m. The campus provides multiple sports facilities and classes, including skiing and word-fighting. The city also hosts multiple advanced research institutes like Max Planck Institutes and EMBL, allowing students to get research experience through internships. Heidelberg itself is a small, beautiful student city with a river flowing through the city and multiple scenic trekking routes all around the city. Heidelberg is only a few minutes away from Mannheim, providing brilliant connectivity to the rest of Germany and to the majority of the neighbouring countries. This also allows us to explore the rest of Europe during our semester break.
Likes (Safety): Heidelberg is one of the safest student cities in Germany. It has considerably fewer shady places compared to other big cities, and public transport is nice, ensuring safe passage throughout the city. There is a police station at all the major points in the city, and police patrols are regular. Apart from the facilities, the inhabitants of the city are very responsible and caring. I have personally never witnessed a bad situation or crime in my 2 years of living here, and I have also walked freely in the city, even at 2 a.m.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Heidelberg hosts a variety of Indian restaurants ranging from North Indian to South Indian food, which cost 20 euros per person for a good dinner. I prefer cooking myself as I can get all the ingredients very easily, including all the masalas, from the Indian stores and it's cost-effective.

Great university with modern facilities and big campus.
Tips: I learned a lot, made some great friends, and gained some valuable life experience. And the campus was beautiful too. The university is a public research university in the city of Heidelberg in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. There are a lot of cultural shifts, so it is up to you how well you adjust and retain your values while you adjust so that you don’t feel lost. You can obviously search for your type of people and will surely find them, but it just takes a little effort. I would definitely recommend Heidelberg University to any student looking for a high-quality education.
Likes (Student Life): My peer group was fabulous and there were so many opportunities, just looking for the right one that suits you the most. It was just what I was looking for. I am amazed that not many people know about it, but you can apply for a lot of scholarships there too.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Public transportation may take some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it you will find it to be quite nice. It is affordable too, but use your money wisely, and it may be a good idea to pick someone you trust to be your guardian.

Select the course you are interested in, rather than just the college name.
Tips: The quality of your experience largely depends on the course you adopt or take up. Be sure to vet the contents of the course and also know of your faculty members teaching here before investing. The institution is renowned for Competition law and other allied specialities. Do your homework thoroughly before investing.
Likes (Internships): Guidance is available on the careers page of the website, and the alumni network is helpful. The alumni base on LinkedIn is also very helpful in guiding one in the application forms as to the kind of answers and responses that should be given in the application forms for an internship to materials.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The label of any university is not sufficient - work experience and individual merit matter very much. Will strongly recommend applying for internships in the UK alongside coursework, and also, if you are pursuing a Master's, then gaining some relevant work experience in your home jurisdiction first.

A great global exposure with best faculty and university.
Tips: I have seen major changes in my personality since I joined this course a year ago. From becoming a multi-tasker to widening my perspective towards cultures and people from all around the world, this growth has been a great blessing. I was not awarded any scholarship. I had the most supportive, helpful, intelligent and fun professors in my course. Made the subject matter super easy and they all had great knowledge of their subject. They encouraged doubts and would sit with you till they were all cleared. The course was structured to get the best out of students. The post-study job market is a bit harsh and it would be great if the college took more initiative in having placements for the students. Overall, I am 100% satisfied with the course, university and the country.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): If you have a great profile before your Master's - for example, 1-2 years of relevant work experience, professional degrees, etc. - then your chances of getting a post-study job are much better compared to someone going for their Master's right after undergraduate. The post-study job market is very competitive, rewarding only the best candidates.

BSc Physics - Batch of 2025

King's College London does not provide much internship opportunities.
Tips: There was not much of a cultural shift. Coming from a metropolitan city, like Delhi, to another metropolitan didn't seem like much of a difference. The only thing that is needed to get used to the city is the cost of living. Takes about a month or so to adjust to the cost of daily expenses. I did not get any scholarships as I am not eligible for any. Being an Indian male studying Physics doesn't really suit the majority of scholarships at King's. The teaching faculty is generally good but the admin staff is not that great for our department. They will always find a way to make you run around to get basic things like your marks or even exam papers. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences here.
Likes (Public transportation): Covent Garden and Holborn station are within walking distance of campus, but using public transportation can quickly become expensive if you exceed your budget. Buses are a good alternative, but convenience depends on where you live and the route you travel. The tube is definitely faster.
Dislikes (Internships): There is not much support from the university. Generally, one has to be part of the relevant student groups/societies to get an idea of how the internship process works in the field of choice. The university has some help available to review CVs/Cover Letters and a practice interview round.

The transition to London helped me gain social skills and boost confidence.
Tips: London can be incredibly expensive. However, there are several ways to find affordable ways of living as a student so ensure you do your research before moving to London. KCL and London in general are very metropolitan so there are countless cultures and ethnicities to mingle with, making it smooth and quite enjoyable. For scholarships, it's quite difficult to avail of any as most are offered to Masters students and the UK very rarely offers scholarships for international students. However, there are different ways to avail of bursaries depending on your university/course. Students should ensure they do extensive research as they tend to be hidden.
Likes (Public transportation): London's public transport is world-renowned, very well-connected, and also very easy to navigate and understand. However, it does tend to be quite expensive if you live far from the city centre. There are buses, the London Underground and the London Overground. Most train services end at night but on the weekend, there are night tubes that run late into the night so it's possible to get home after night out.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): It is quite difficult to secure a job if you're not studying for a highly-value degree. Visa sponsorship is quite easy to secure, especially at bigger firms. Again, depending on the major studied, salaries and roles can range from impossible to secure to incredible remunerative.

One of the financial hubs in the world does help you to transform.
Tips: King's College provides you with various opportunities to showcase your talent. I did transition after coming here both academically and personally. I did not get any scholarships but the college does provide them and other financial aid is available as well.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty here is really qualified with much knowledge and expertise. Most of them work in the banking and finance fields simultaneously. Friendly, helpful and very much approachable if needed. Teaching methods are also very up-to-date and provide access to financial software such as Bloomberg, Stata and MATLAB.
Dislikes (Value for money): Being an international student, 40 Lakhs of tuition fees for one year of Masters degree plus living expenses in London, with no job placement and security, the value for money is not justified. Part-time work hours for students are also very restricted.

Great but could be better
Tips: The process of shifting is quite well but learn to find all the contacts needed beforehand to solve issues. Contact people and don't hesitate. Find fixed places to eat quickly. Join forums or clubs etc. in case you will feel lonely really fast even if you have friends. Talk to everyone a little and branch out.
Likes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking myself but there are still many Indian food options in London. Most of them are quite well made as well. As for pricing, it's cheaper if you go to the restaurant and not if you order at home. Try to find places with student discounts because they have many of those.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It has quite a direct way of immigration if you're a student. There's the graduate visa option for now which can give you time to search for jobs etc. There are also a lot of immigrants which shows it's not exactly impossible. The only issue is the current government which may come out with new policies making it tough.

Overall good experience at KCL.
Tips: The city is good. The course has a great structure and the university has a lot of resources. The degree is tough but rewarding. There are a lot of opportunities for internships/placements. Living in London is a great experience (barring the slight safety problems).
Likes (Public transportation): London has very accessible public transport. Between the tube, overground, national express, bus, night buses and walking, I think it's possible to get anywhere in London. As a student, you also get a discount on public transport. It's available most times of the day and is very convenient to use.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It's possible to get permanent immigration, but it's difficult to get a sponsorship. It truly depends on what course you're doing and what market you're applying for jobs in. If I had the chance I would consider permanently migrating to the UK for sure. The job prospects and academic potential here are far higher than my country of origin.

Tips: It is a top university and one of the best in the UK. Its campuses are at the heart of London, with so many sites and attractions nearby. However, this does mean the university is not for everyone as it is a very busy and fast-paced environment in London.
Likes (Quality of faculty): King's College London has amazing faculty members for all different departments. It also has several university campuses and student halls across London. The university has top-end lecture halls, laboratories and sports facilities. It has unarguably the best university campuses in London compared to other London universities.

The university also provides ample opportunities for students to work whilst studying, so they can develop their professional skills, gain valuable experience and manage their finances effectively, all while pursuing their academic endeavours.

Digital Humanities MA - Batch of 2022
Offered by King's College London
4.1
A rewarding academic experience with real world challenges.
Tips: Before joining King’s College London, students should know that while the academic environment is highly rewarding, it also demands a significant level of independence and self-motivation. The coursework in Digital Humanities involves a blend of technical and theoretical components, so having some familiarity with coding, data analysis, or digital tools can be beneficial. The teaching style is more research-focused and less structured compared to Indian universities, which means students need to manage their time effectively and engage actively with the material. Transitioning to life at KCL was challenging at first, but I gradually adjusted. The cultural shift was noticeable — from the academic style to everyday social interactions. In India, the education system is more exam-focused, while at KCL, there's greater emphasis on critical thinking, class participation, and independent projects. Socially, people tend to be more reserved, and the multicultural environment means you encounter a wide range of perspectives and communication styles. Adjusting to the British accent and understanding local slang also took some time. I applied for a merit-based scholarship when I was admitted. I was fortunate to receive it, which covered around £5,000 of my annual tuition fees. While it didn’t cover living expenses, it eased the financial burden significantly. Overall, I’m quite satisfied with my course and the experience of studying in the UK. The program has equipped me with valuable skills, and London’s global network offers excellent career opportunities. However, the high cost of living and visa-related uncertainties remain challenges that require careful planning.
Likes (Safety): King’s College London (KCL) provides an excellent sense of safety, which is why I gave it a five-star rating. The campus security is well-organized, with 24/7 monitoring, key card access to buildings, and regular patrols ensuring that students feel secure at all times. Beyond campus security, the university also offers several other facilities to support student safety. The SafeZone app, for instance, allows students to quickly contact security or emergency services with just a tap. There are also well-lit pathways around campus and designated late-night shuttle services to help students get home safely after dark. KCL provides mental health support and counselling services, which play a crucial role in ensuring emotional and psychological safety. The university’s student support team is approachable and responsive, offering guidance and assistance whenever needed. Additionally, London itself has a strong public safety infrastructure, with CCTV coverage in most areas and a visible police presence, particularly around university zones and public transport hubs. My personal experience in London regarding safety has been positive overall. Once, I accidentally left my phone at a campus café, and the staff promptly secured it and contacted me through the student portal to return it. However, like any major city, London has its share of petty crime, such as pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like train stations and markets. But staying aware of your surroundings and following basic safety measures helps avoid such issues. The combination of strong university support and London’s public safety network makes KCL a secure and comfortable place to study.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Studying at King’s College London (KCL) was academically rewarding, but my experience with post-study opportunities and jobs was mixed, which is why I gave it three stars. KCL offers strong career support through job fairs, networking events, and career counselling, but securing a job after graduation, especially as an international student, can be challenging. The job market in the UK is competitive, and while KCL’s reputation helps, finding roles with visa sponsorship adds another layer of difficulty. Several well-known companies like Deloitte, EY, KPMG, PWC, Google, and Barclays do offer sponsorship visas, but the number of available positions is limited compared to the overall demand. Common job roles that attract KCL graduates include software engineer, data scientist, financial analyst, management consultant, and research associate. The starting salary for these roles typically ranges from £30,000 to £70,000 per year, depending on the industry. Technology and finance-related positions tend to offer higher salaries, often between £40,000 and £70,000 annually, while roles in healthcare and education usually fall within the £30,000 to £45,000 range. Despite KCL’s location in central London and its strong ties with industries, the process of securing a skilled worker visa can be lengthy and uncertain. The high cost of living in London also affects how competitive these salaries feel in real terms. While the university provides good resources for job preparation, the competitive market and sponsorship limitations make the overall post-study experience somewhat challenging, which explains the three-star rating.

The college is good but there is a bit of placement issue.
Tips: My friends and colleagues have all graduated from King’s College London. It has a good placement record and is the best college for our future. There are many groups in the college for different problems, like social discrimination and ragging, that allow us to resolve issues, give people more work, and improve the security solution. There is a little bit of an issue with the placement in the college. It has something to do with the companies that have been coming to our campus. There are many, but they only hire students who have higher qualifications or abilities. That’s why you might encounter a few issues while getting placed. By applying to and completing the admission process, we can confirm our enrollment there, begin our studies, and work toward a degree.

Offered by King's College London
4.7
King's College London is expensive but worth it.
Tips: The courses are challenging, so you have to work hard. Make sure you attend classes regularly. You'll spend a lot of time at the library, so you need to learn how to manage your time and stay focused. The professors are great, the curriculum is amazing, and the people are very helpful. London life is amazing, and exploring the city was a lot of fun. The people are really nice, and you feel at home. Everything is very systematic, so you will have a lot of fun.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job market is currently very bad in the UK, and immigrants are not being considered for employment. With the change in government, it has become even more difficult for immigrants to find employment. Graduate jobs do not pay well, so it is difficult to save money. However, overall my experience at KCL was great.

King's College London- Pre-planning and living in London Central.
Tips: There are no scholarships at King's. London is much more expensive than you think. The food is very bland, so you should know how to cook. The courses are highly competitive, and almost half of my class failed their first and second attempts. So, make sure you are here to study, because it will be a major factor moving forward. Choose your accommodations wisely. Options are university accommodations, off-campus shared houses near the university making travel costs almost zero but rent is too high as it is central London or off-campus accommodations that are farther away but less expensive.
Likes (Public transportation): I lived in central London near Borough station, and could walk to my university. However, the busses and tubes were equally convenient. Now that I live in the outskirts, I've noticed that there is public transportation to every corner of the city. In other cities, like Cardiff, where my friend lives, travel is limited to trains and occasional busses. London's public transportation is so good that you don't realize how good it is until you leave the city.
Dislikes (Value for money): I paid around 30 Lakhs INR, which I feel wasn't worth it because I really had to do most of the work myself and I also ended up writing the wrong exam, ultimately making me lose my distinction which isn't something I would expect when I pay so much for a university.

Interesting experience and broadened my horizons.
Tips: Make sure you take time out to explore the campus and the locality as it is very well connected and you will be able to explore multiple options with residence and lodging as well. You should also keep a track on the transportation lines and how to commute to places.
