Great faculty and highly engaging student life.
Tips: Students should be prepared to work hard since they'll be on their own a lot. The cultural shift was noticeable but manageable. The university has good faculty, but it's really up to you how you use it. Don't slack. Do lots of personal projects, go to career fairs, and network like crazy. Above all, though, if you're in IT, build a portfolio website. The country is safe and offers a warm welcome, and there are no other issues based on gender, sex or colour.

Heriot-Watt university where safety, peace and future lies ahead
Tips: First of all life and the thought process change after coming to a different country. Britain is a place where most people are open-minded hence coming from a religious background makes us think as normal human beings. I got a scholarship of 1500 pounds from my university for an interview that they conducted before providing CAS. University life was so good that never made me regret it during my entire course. United Kingdom is a place where nature is touched with development so the feel while living in Edinburgh is perfect. The course and the study structure are so good that enable us to get a deep understanding of the course as well as prepares us for the current engineering situation.
Likes (Student Life): I study at Heriot-Watt University at Edinburgh, the university is situated towards the countryside which has a nice view. This provides the peaceful experience that I and other students have at the university. Each day we would go to the university for our daily classes and is most enjoyable when we are friends with the professor. Our university conducts different events. The most fun is the beer festival which of course is one good experience. Participation in the events depends on our classes and the timing of the events. There are different student clubs that are active all throughout the year.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are wide variety of jobs here in UK which can obviously be found in the largest job-serving platform called "indeed". No matter what the job is the candidate must go through the interview process. The hiring people look into the candidate's capability of doing the work and the ability to adapt to their environment. The minimum wage in UK is 10.42 pounds so usually the starting salary range is around 21000 pounds. As we all know each job has its own value and the pay of the job lies in parallel to the nature of the work done. One thing I like to point out is about visa sponsorship, many companies offer work visa sponsorship and the number of companies that offer Tier-2 work visas is growing day by day. All the details of it can be found on the official website of UK Visa and Immigration. The chance of getting an offer for visa sponsorship depends on the candidate's performance in the company.

One of the best experience
Tips: There are scholarships provided at the start of the admission. You need to ask about those. The university is very particular about the assignments. Lots of skills are polished. Personality is developed overall. The country and university are really safe for students.
Likes (Student Life): There are lots of activities present in the student union. The library has an immense collection of books. The student union weekly has some other activities for students to keep them engaged. Games night, movies are also planned to make you feel less homesick.
Dislikes (Internships): The university helps in the preparation of CV and cover letter for applications. It helps you in interview preparation. They do not give interview opportunities. There are no on-campus placement options. The student has to take their own efforts to grab any internship.

Helpful teachers at Heriot Watt University.
Tips: Students can expect a great time studying here. The campus is amazing, classrooms are upbeat and equipped with modern technology. Faculty is up to the mark. Just hunt out for cheaper accommodation if you can near the campus to save on traveling cost.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The teachers are great here. Very helpful when it comes to taking special classes and attending student queries. They have a great sync-up with students and encourage doubts even after classes. Every professor is highly acclaimed and qualified to deliver great learning.
Dislikes (Value for money): The university is quite expensive when it comes to transportation and living. I am living with my relatives but still due to lack of time for pursuing part time opportunities, the cost goes way higher for students with a tight monthly budget. Fee is high as well.

Best campus experience. Good opportunities at HERIOT WATT UNIVERSITY.
Tips: With the number of international students here, it's a very easy transition just the weather is a little cold so be prepared for that. Other than that, feel right at home! Scholarships are available if you apply for them early on in the process. Overall, quite happy with my choice of course and the HERIOT WATT University is a beautiful place to live, would definitely consider studying here. Likes;- The university has a job board through which students can apply for part-time jobs and internships. However, they should also check LinkedIn regularly for any new openings. Often, professors and university staff post vacancies on LinkedIn as well as emails, so keep a tab on your emails as well. Dislikes;-Hostel may improve the taste of food.

This university is worth for money and a respectable one in Edinburgh.
Tips: Do research about your course details correctly before selecting one, go through the entire website for courses, accommodation and the living culture. Talk to the seniors if have chance to contact them. Join groups in social media to find the information.
Likes (Safety): High safety rules and always monitored in the city and inside university. Good ethical safety culture maintained in the university. No need to worry on getting lost inside university as you can find security officials everywhere who can guide you.
Dislikes (Indian Food): If you can self cook, then you have no issues, if not then getting native food is expensive. You can still get ready to eat food inside university but not in large volume. If you have good baggage weight then pack good amount of packed foods from India itself.

University of York- Friendly little town
Tips: Great city to live in, extremely friendly people, very safe, very beautiful, with a river in the city and a campus lake! International scholarships are available when applying; focus on classes and coursework, but also join societies and attend their events to make friends. Go to the library to study.
Likes (Safety): York is a fairly safe city. Not many incidents on campus, and even late nights in the city are very safe. Never had any incidents. The campus safety team is also prompt and usually comes on time when called. Their cars also move around the campus to ensure safety.
Dislikes (Indian Food): York doesn't really have many good, authentic Indian restaurants, and the ones that do are pretty expensive for a student. Good for once in a once-in-a-while treat, though. I tried Kalpakawadi, which was really good, on my birthday. There are other great places for student meals like shawarmas, pizza, and burgers.

It is a great experience. Work hard and you will get your results
Tips: I would say, unless you have prior work experience in India, please rethink all the possibilities upon completion of studies. I have seen freshers come to the UK for their master's and then go back without even trying just because they "felt" the job market was difficult. Unless you are willing to give it your all, please think about all the money you are going to spend.
Likes (Part time work): I found excellent part-time work. Although I did take 2 months to find a part-time job when I first arrived, it has been great after that. Started as a Christmas temp, got offered a permanent role, and moved to another company for better hours. Some people did struggle to find a job, so please be mindful of your steps and actions
Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fees are really not worth it. It's mostly one-day-a-week classes, and it is mostly seminars for the rest of the week. And there are no exams; it is mostly essays (not complaining, but it does not really do any justice to studies with all the AI we have available these days).

Best academics, but career growth depends on self effort.
Tips: Look, the uni is great for the academic side of things, obviously, but you've gotta realize that landing a job or an internship is basically just down to you. It takes a ton of networking and just... putting yourself out there constantly. My move over was smooth enough, but the weather and just the general lifestyle change was a massive shock to the system, especially without any scholarships or anything like that to lean on. You honestly have to take charge of your own career from day one—applying for everything and just constantly building up your skills. The uni gives you the basic stuff like job boards and some advice, but at the end of the day, the hard work is really just on you. Adjusting to the cold and everything takes time, especially if you're dealing with health stuff, and you just have to learn to be way more independent and handle the day-to-day on your own. It does get easier once you've got a routine sorted, but yeah, it’s a good experience for exposure as long as you're actually getting out there and making it happen. It's just a lot of work.
Likes (Indian Food): Honestly, you won't really struggle to find something familiar to eat here since there's just so much Indian, Asian, and even Middle Eastern food all over the place. If you're grabbing a takeaway, you're usually looking at around £15 to £20, while a sit-down meal at a restaurant is probably more like £20 to £30. Groceries are everywhere too, and the prices vary quite a bit between stores, so cooking for yourself is actually a pretty solid way to keep your costs down.
Dislikes (Internships): Opportunities exist but are not easy to access for international students. The university offers guidance like CV review ad job portals, but most of the efforts are self-driven. Internships in the field are highly competitive and securing one requires early preparation and consistent application and strong networking.

Peaceful, education-friendly, cooperative, and always up to the expectations.
Tips: Never assume York is a cheap place; actually, it's not. It's located in a small village, so you won't find many job opportunities. But if you're someone who's only going to study, this is the best place. It has a very beautiful lake and a huge campus where you don't feel any noise or disturbance.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is very nice and cooperative. They try their best to make us learn, understand, and master our subjects. Also, they let us share our ideas roughly and help us polish them and present them nicely. Lecturers are always available to listen and clear doubts either via email or in person.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The recent immigration rules have made it so difficult to get a visa sponsorship for any job, plus most of the time they reject applications to stop migration. Also, a post study work visa is expensive plus they have shortened the time span, too. All these make permanent settlement a big challenge.

New learnings for new beginnings.
Tips: I experienced a cultural shift, since it is a Western country, and we will experience a huge cultural shift. But you will feel good and learn a lot. I got a personal scholarship from my university since I performed well in my undergraduate studies. I am completely satisfied with all the things.
Likes (Value for money): The tuition fee for my course is justified. I had good and well-mastered lecturers from whom I gained a lot of knowledge about my course, and also I should speak about the campus safety, where every single person who studies at that university is taken care of.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are a lot of companies that are offering visas for work. But it all depends upon how you perform in your academics and actively apply for jobs. As a student, you can work up to 20 hrs per week in any role, and you can get to know about the opening from the university portals themselves, where you'll be paid up to 900 pounds per month.

Part-time work opportunities in York are plentiful because it's a tourist destination.
Tips: It’s a beautiful, pleasant town. And the university was a good choice for my area of study. Students must be careful while choosing the place they wanna live in according to their preferences. It’s definitely not easy to live in a whole new place, leaving family and home. Part-time work opportunities in York are plentiful because it's a tourist destination. Students should be able to get good tips because the restaurants are usually busy. They also have the chance to work at stores and malls in the city centre, where commissions are paid on top of the base wage, providing an added incentive to perform well.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I personally wouldn’t want to settle in the UK as their healthcare system isn’t great. If you have a really high-paying job, then maybe it’s a good choice. But it’s not easy to manage the cost of living there as it’s too high. And kids won’t be getting any citizenship until 7 years old, which is another con.

Great campus life, amazing academics but dull UK job market.
Tips: Academics are rigorous but not stressful. It focuses on more independent study. Time management and self-discipline are crucial. York is a historically picturesque city but small compared to other cities like Birmingham and Manchester. It's great for students who enjoy a laidback atmosphere, as it gives easy access to nature and historically sits. The cost of living is on the higher side. You can find international stores to get desi stuff. UK academic culture stresses critical thinking and independent research, so that's one thing that was a bit different from India. For many the UK weather could be a challenge and sunlight hours also affect people. I did not avail of scholarships, but my friends did. You just have to write an essay or answer a few questions, and if you have done well, you can get a fee exception. I am very satisfied with my university and course. But the job market in the country is a bit of an issue. 
Likes (Student Life): I would say exceptional student life. Lively campus and picturesque views. I mean, the campus is really beautiful. A short walk can cheer one up on your worst day. The university accommodation is fantastic. UoY provides an inclusive atmosphere. My day started with lectures and seminars followed by self-study in UoY's world-class library facility. Then I would go for free sports, where I made a lot of friends from different countries and backgrounds. The freshman week is the best time. You make really good connections and enjoy free food. The library is open till late hours and 24x7 during examinations. Various kinds of events are organized, and you can experience the Roses tournament as well. The variety of student-run societies like academic societies, sports clubs, and cultural and international societies allows each student to get involved. There are student discounts on food and gym subscriptions as well. 
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job market exposure is limited. The university is known for excellent research, though, but it does not help that much to secure a job. But it can surely help the students who want to go into the research and development or academic path. The city is smaller than Manchester or Birmingham and has a reputation for tourism rather than industrial presence, which makes it difficult to get opportunities. But, in general, the whole UK job market is not in favour of immigrants. So, it's not just the university. Very few companies offer jobs to international students and even fewer offer sponsorship. Graduate roles are very hard to secure. It makes sense and a bit easier if one has work experience. Job roles offered: data analyst, software developer, consultant, process specialist. Salary packages range from GBP 25k to 35k.

A historical institution to build a better future for all people from all walks of life.
Tips: The transition to a new country is never simple but there is a lot of support for anyone that's looking for it. Before moving to York, it would be good to get in contact with coursemates and students you will be living with. In addition, spend time looking into societies you want to get involved in as early on in the year there will be plenty of taste sessions to go and participate in which will aid in socializing in a new environment. The university also has a buddy programme that would put you in touch with someone at the university who may have gone through the experience previously and guide you through an easy transition experience. Looking for part-time jobs is fairly easy as well, the university has its own platform, Handshake to look for opportunities. Indeed is a great widely used option as well.
Likes (Safety): Campus security maintains a very active presence on campus with routine patrols to ensure safety and is very helpful in medical emergencies as well. Other than campus security, York is generally a very safe city. It consistently ranks in the top 5 of the safest areas within the UK for student areas which means stepping out late at night can be stress-free for everyone.
Dislikes (Public transportation): York has a well established bus network that allows you to travel around the city comfortably with options to track bus timings. We also have an app as well. The train station in the city centre has great connectivity with direct trains to London taking about 2 hours.

University of York is all thing from study to support
Tips: The University of York is a research based Russell group university. University is located in York, a welcoming and peaceful city, with historical architecture. Apart from the city, campus itself is beautiful and has a lot of study space for individual as well as group study. Also, the university offers student assistance right from the application process to the move to York. Staff is accommodating and helps students to their best knowledge. University provides guidance to improve skills for academics and professional prospects as well as in managing living expenses. I received Chevening Scholarship funded by UK FCDO, in which 20% of the scholarship is funded by the university.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty at the University of York can be contacted via email or in-person. They are friendly and understand the demands of the diverse student community. Instead of traditional methods of providing classroom lectures, university employs a novel approach, they are a mix of lectures, seminars, practical, and also drop-in sessions for questions.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The University of York provides a free campus shuttle bus to students and faculty. Campus shuttle connects all of the major bus stop from West to east campus. Aside from the free campus shuttle, various paid public transmit options are available. The campus is well-connected to the main city, York City Centre is in 10 minutes walking distance from campus West.

My Experience with University of York
Tips: One of the most important changes that I have experienced is the change in the weather. The winters in York can get really cold so please be prepared to buy good quality winter wear that will last. The University has done a lot to make the transition smoother. There are a number of fresher week activities including college lunches and coffee meets where students can meet other international students as well as home students. There is also a lot of mental health support available at the university which are easily available to all. There is a visa office that helps with any queries regarding your visa or stay. The curriculum is different from what it is in India and there is a dedicated academic skills hub for helping students ease into the university curriculum. York itself is a beautiful city, especially for history buffs like myself. The university campus is serene and green and there is plenty of study space. Overall I am satisfied with the University campus and its curriculum.
Likes (Part time work): There are a number of on campus part time work available like International ambassadors, academic representatives etc. In addition, there are a number of shops and cafes like Nisa and Greggs within the campus which can offer possible employability. York is a relatively small and historic city with enough part-time jobs available. Update the resume and use indeed and LinkedIn to do the applications. The minimum wage is 10 pounds and since there is a 20-hour work limit per week, it is possible to effectively manage academics and work.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a number of Indian restaurants in the City Centre but they are a bit expensive. The groceries however are pretty affordable. It's highly recommended to cook for yourself during the initial months until you're settled in. Indian groceries are available in shops like Morrisons and Makkah which are about 30 minutes away from the University.

Tips: York is a good university but primarily depends on your course. However, the Computer Science department is very good. I didn't get any scholarship, but a couple of people whom I know got it, which means yes, scholarships are being offered in my course. When I joined, the fee was 24000 Rs. But now it's around 27K. Moreover, the campus is really good it's like having your own city. I lived in Annelister College, and the accommodation was around 8k when I joined. It was a well-balanced shift in a good way.

Check for scholarships before you start your course.
Tips: Scholarship details should be checked before coming because a lot of people tend to miss the scholarship and end up paying a lot more. Part time needs to be applied really quickly because the number of students completing for part time is a lot which can leave you jobless while studying.
Likes (Safety): It feels safe to walk around the city at any time of the day and night. Everyone respects one another. I have walked all around the city on a cold winter night while never facing issues from anyone. Did not even see anyone else have any safety issues.

The University of York is a beautiful experience.
Tips: I received the Be Exceptional scholarship of 37500. I would advise you to apply for the scholarships well in advance. Overall I'm very satisfied with the course, university, and country. I would also suggest being a part of social clubs and societies as they always have something going on.
Likes (Post study jobs): A plethora of events are organized by the university including bar crawls, social, game nights, karaoke, etc. I absolutely love socializing with people and I never miss an opportunity to take part in social events. Additionally, the campus is also very beautiful.
Dislikes (Value for money): I believe the faculty at the University of York is top-notch. They are extremely friendly, approachable, and supportive and have always helped me throughout the course. Being a part of the Biology department I spend most of my time in the labs. The labs are exceptional with all the facilities.

Stepping out of your comfort zone and living the world that lies beyond your constricted boundaries
Tips: The cultural shift is very evident and yet it is not overwhelming or unmanageable. Staying true to yourself and being open-minded and accepting takes you a long way. There are University competitive scholarships available. However, I was unsuccessful in attaining one. I am very happy with the choice of the University I made. It has far exceeded my expectations in every manner.
Likes (Value for money): The study curriculum is designed very thoughtfully and imparted very practically. The professors are very friendly and easily approachable. You can not only discuss with them the academic difficulties that you might be facing but also any personal challenges that you will encounter. They are always more than happy to be of assistance.
Dislikes (Internships): Finding an internship is your own task and it is very difficult to manage an internship and your studies. The internship almost always requires more working hours than you are allowed. The professors and the academic supervisors don’t even suggest a part-time job as it is considered very time consuming.

One of the safest and best university in UK
Tips: Look and research thoroughly about your course and also about the city. If you are more interested in party rich and more lively city life then this is not the city as there is not much of a young population. Also one should look into the availability of cheap options for rent.
Likes (Safety): York as a city is one of the safest city in UK. Also this particular university has very low or no racism and has a good amount of cultural diversity between students. Also as there is not much young crowd in York so there is not much crime happening in the city.
Dislikes (Internships): Less internship options are available for my field of study. Also as York is not a big city so there are obviously fewer options available but the university should focus more on providing internship opportunities and should organise more workshops and awareness events.

Fun loving University with many interesting activities to explore.
Tips: There were few cultural socks at the start of my college but later on got used to it. I did not get any scholarship as when I applied the deadline was already passed. I feel okay about my university experience but there is always room for improvement in terms of course modules and other facilities such as labs.

Good university, life is awesome and studies are a bit hard
Tips: I would ask students to just join the university and then it would be easy once you are here. However, think about the course that best suits you or else it would be a waste. Life is good here, you would be having a lot of fun parties, night outs and get together etc. Assignments are the main area of focus as it would be new to some and adapting would be difficult so a proper understanding of what you are doing will help. Always there will be support from the teachers so there is no issue just don't hesitate.

Good and friendly college.
Tips: About the course, part time jobs, accommodation, full time jobs. The student must know what modules they have to study, will university allow us to change the course or modules we have selected, and the availability of jobs for that course and the requirements to cope up with that course.
