MSc Robotics - Batch of 2025

What to do and expect at King's College London in your MS degree.
Tips: In terms of Asian countries, it is very different. People are very friendly; however, everyone has a whole personal life of their own that is separate. Everyone only plays for what they have personally ordered; money is a sensitive topic. For scholarships, one needs to apply very early, and it might only be beneficial for people who actually need money and come from low-income households, as there are a lot of applicants (KCL has one of the highest numbers of students). One needs to start applying soon after joining the university and not wait for the course to end. For interviews and impressions with professors, it is necessary to understand the art of having a conversation, as the evaluations are very behavior-oriented and soft-skill-oriented besides technicality. The course is satisfactory, but for a master's degree, 1 year might seem like a very short time, as you only get to touch or overview a lot of the practical work. London is very busy and fast but also very vibrant and enjoyable; there are a lot of options for free fun too.
Likes (Public transportation): London is very well connected; one can find tubes, buses, trams, cabs, and cycles all over the city. Most of the campuses are very close to tube stations, and bus stations are available in mostly all of the areas in London. With an Oyster and Railcard, one can get some benefits on tubes and buses. However, you need to go to the station to connect the two cars and get some benefits (not available online). These are good for frequent travelers.
Dislikes (Internships): Guidance is available on campus (in limited numbers), and an online portals is available for career opportunities, but I personally could not find a relevant internship or job in my field there. On-campus positions are mostly student ambassador roles, and lab positions are mostly available for Ph.D. candidates.

Data Science MSc - Batch of 2025

It's difficult to secure sponsorships.
Tips: There is nothing in particular you should know about this university. The university is amazing and has historical significance and the faculty is great. Try to get accommodation outside the ones given by the college since the college ones are very expensive. There is no cultural shift; it depends on how outgoing a person you are and the best way to get yourself in the limelight and even to get a job, you need to be socially available and engage in conversation with people.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty was amazing, they are really caring and try to solve the issues you have regarding a particular topic as much as possible. State of the art tech and amazing libraries to help students upskill in their academics, and help you in whichever way possible.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Given the current scenario of the UK job market it's really difficult to get a sponsorship in the UK. What students generally do is take a PSW and try to get jobs. Studying abroad should be taken as a qualification to upskill yourself. For international students studying in the top universities in the UK the chances of getting a sponsorship are close to 10-15%, so keep that in mind and try to manage studies and applications for jobs at the same time.

Data Science MSc - Batch of 2025

Great course, great city, and solid experience overall.
Tips: The transition was fairly smooth. King's is in central London so the cohort is very international, which makes it easier to settle in. The bigger adjustment is London itself rather than the university. Academically, the M.Sc. Data Science movies fast so time management matters from week one.
Likes (Post study jobs): From my experience, about 50% companies I got interviews from had a sponsorship license and were willing to sponsor at the end of my graduate visa. Job roles initially can be structured as contacts with the option to extend or change to convert to permanent. On average, a graduate's salary ranges from 30,000 to 40,000 annually.
Dislikes (Value for money): More expensive than some colleges, like the University of Birmingham or University College London, offering the same course, especially for international students. On top of being in London which is more expensive than the rest of the UK by about 40%, the course is more expensive for no reason.

They don't provide placement, only guidance.
Tips: I am really satisfied with my course, it is preparing me for the real world jobs in my field. The cultural differences are there, it takes some time to adjust but making friends being social and having companions going through something similar helps the process.
Likes (Post study jobs): For my course there are plenty of jobs available in the UK. It's about making your own connections. Use LinkedIn and meet people at various job fairs, etc. To make connections. That helps mostly. It is also a good practice to keep in touch with alumni of the course and ask them about how they find jobs, what are the steps they took and what kind of connections they made.
Dislikes (Internships): There is plenty of guidance available, although they do not give placements as it's done in India. There are placement blocks, etc. which help with navigating what kind of jobs you're looking for and providing you with help on how to go about it and how to make the right connections as well as achievable goal setting.

A transformative and globally enriching experience.
Tips: Finding finance internships was tough but the school's really good about helping with jobs. You can meet with faculty one-on-one for your resume, applications and interview prep. King's even has internships during the summer after the second term. They have extra stuff like investment funds and 20 free courses, workshops, and stuff. How much you get out of it really depends on how much you put in.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty is extremely approachable and helpful. They teach well and respond quickly to emails. They taught us further by making smaller groups of 15-20 people for tutorials where personal attention is given. They taught using the latest technology and good practical knowledge. The teaching faculty is diverse; I have seen teachers from most nationalities across Europe and there were Indian teachers as well.

The teaching methodology is different and highly practical-oriented.
Tips: KCL is a premier college. The teaching there is very action oriented and practical in nature. At least as was the case in my course. The professors treat you with respect and each student is appointed a tutor who helps not only with academic issues you might be facing but also with any emotional issue you might have. They are very supportive. Learning is fast paced and you will not have plenty of time to do much else during the master's courses. I would suggest not going there with an expectation of finding a job as there is a job crisis and its particularly bad for immigrants trying to find a permanent position and the careers team at the university is of very little help. Just come with the expectation to study and learn and the environment of London will sweep you away. It's a very enriching experience.

Likes (Safety): Since the university was in Central London, the safety was immaculate. My student accommodation was in Central London as well. Just if you make sure not to venture into shady areas outside of zone 3 and there will be no issues and I roamed the street alone even very late in the night and did not feel unsafe at all.

Check out the faculty and modules before enrolling.
Tips: A student must check the modules and most importantly, the faculty. International students can apply for a discount of up to 10K GBP which is called vVce Chancellor Award. The course could have been better; it was fine but for the price I paid, I had better expectations.
Likes (Indian Food): There are plenty of food options all around London. Like in every street every corner you can get the food you want. The city offers food for every nationality but if you want to experience British food then vegetarian people might struggle with finding good food as fast food corners or local cafes lack good vegetarian food.
Dislikes (Internships): There are very less to no internships available for Master students. For undergraduate students, it's very good but not for post graduate students. Also, only students with prior work experience get the internship There are internships but mainly for undergraduates.

Good exposure and growth.
Tips: After spending a year in London, I realised the real meaning of exposure. I was glad and felt privileged that I got to experience this wonderful city. I could not avail any scholarships as the application deadline was over but there is definitely a scope for everyone to receive a scholarship. I am extremely satisfied with the experience that I had in college. It offered me the latest knowledge in my chosen field.
Likes (Indian Food): There were several types of restaurants in almost all corners of the city. King's College London is located in the heart of London and has ample of restaurants offering all types of cuisines. There is a place called Sagar, which offers amazing veg Indian food.
Dislikes (Internships): The college only organised a few work fairs at the beginning of the session. There was little to no organisation of the student communication channel so that all students from the same classroom can get to know each other. There are no on-campus corporate internships available and all students have to search for opportunities off campus.

Small campus but great student life.
Tips: I learnt what real exposure means after coming to King’s College London. I changed completely after studying for just a year. I could not avail of any scholarships. I am extremely satisfied with the quality of life and education King’s offers. The professors are extremely helpful and are always willing to guide students to the fullest. The lecture and class pattern is arranged such that students get enough time to prepare and learn on their own. The flipped classroom approach (online + offline) is something that didn’t sound good at first but the importance of it came into light later in the year.
Likes (Student Life): The college although it has a small campus size but offers a large number of club activities including sports and fitness, cultural and heritage and other forms of arts. There are several lounging spaces throughout the campus and the facilities are top notch with student mental health in mind.
Dislikes (Part time work): Work fairs and part time centric fairs were only held during the start of the session and then there were minimal to no updates on this topic. Even during these work fairs, companies explained about the roles and offered goodies but the application was still online with no real opportunity highlighted.

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
3.1
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.

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.

Tips: This was a very new experience for me. The modules' structure and time tables were different. The professors were quite chill and helpful. I had a very good balance of school life and social life. I also got to participate in a lot of events and clubs. It was amazing meeting new people and making friends from around the world. The university granted a small scholarship along with the offer letter. It was provided from their end and there was no process or application form to submit. I feel very satisfied and happy with my experience. It was the most fun I've ever had. The campus had a lot of facilities and our course was very interesting. I would recommend getting to experience this student life as it teaches you a lot about the world and about yourself.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation is very well-connected and fast. Buses are running every 10 minutes. The bus stops are also usually 1 min apart so that it cuts down the walking time. You can easily reach your desired location. The student passes were also quite affordable. The process has indeed increased but if you are someone that travel everyday, the monthly passes are worth it.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Finding jobs is very difficult. But it also depends on the industry you're applying to. I notice that it was hard for me to get a positive response to my applications as I had no previous work experience. Although there were companies that offered unpaid internships. There are also a lot of paid opportunities that pay well according to the minimum we age and government guidelines. All you need to focus on is researching well and approaching companies.

A Practical and Supportive Learning Experience at Birmingham City University
Tips: One thing you've really got to wrap your head around is how much they expect you to just get on with things yourself. It’s a mix of lectures and projects, for sure, but the independent side of it is a huge part of the deal, so you’ve got to be pretty disciplined with your time. When I first got here, it was honestly a massive shock—the whole vibe is way more focused on you actually thinking for yourself and just having open chats with the lecturers instead of just listening. It’s also cool being around people from all over, but you’ve definitely got to be proactive about using the career services and stuff if you want to get ahead.

You will get a lot of exposure on how to deal with situations.
Tips: As I pursued a Master's in Advanced Computer Networks, I can say that Birmingham City University would be a good choice for you to pick. Faculty and student life at this university are top-notch, and the best part is that they have so many activities for international students to interact and make themselves feel comfortable.
Likes (Indian Food): I am from Andhra Pradesh, and I found quite a few decent Indian restaurants, and there are so many Indian stores where you get almost everything you would crave when you are away from home. Most of the indian restaurants are a little expensive than the British restaurants.
Dislikes (Value for money): I personally felt it wasn't really worth the money we put in for a year of study. However, you will definitely get a lot of exposure on how to deal with so many situations that you wouldn't be able to manage if you were with your family. The whole year of study will boost your self-confidence, so I guess there's that.

The college is in the heart of city.
Tips: Birmingham City University offers a diverse culture of many different courses, and cultures from around the world. Known for its excellent courses and strong industry connections, It provides practical career-focused education. The vibrant student community is something that makes student life fun. Students should explore various clubs, events and activities and be a part of them.
Likes (Indian Food): There are many different kinds of restaurants available in the locality serving world cuisines at an affordable rate for the students on campus. I usually prefer cooking myself as I'm a vegetarian but there are few veg options available as well, so sometimes I do try those.
Dislikes (Value for money): The course fee is justified and everything around the campus, facilities provided for students, staff support, and everything adds up to make it a value-for-money decision. There are also scholarships available for students coming from an international background.

Birmingham City University has well constructed and affiliated courses.
Tips: We will get an opportunity to meet people from different countries and get to know their cultures and experiences. I received a scholarship of 32000 from the university for my merit score in Bachelor's. Overall, I'm satisfied with this university and the course as they have excellent and relevant modules. To speak about this country, it's quite expensive presently because of inflation. But having a part-time job might help you to manage your expenses.

A good educational institution.
Tips: BCU is good for taking admission and studying in UK. The University is a multicultural institution where we can make friends from different countries like Japan, China, USA, etc. The faculty is so friendly and studies are stress free. Students should know the skills of doing work on laptop because studies and assessment are done through assignments and most of the Indian students are only familiar with pen and paper.
Likes (Value for money): Birmingham City University offers education that is so helpful for getting a good job in England. They offer support for every aspect of life. I was given £2000 bursary on joining. Students can borrow laptops from library and the staff is friendly. They offer huge work opportunities within the course.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The Graduate route scheme is introduced by the Government which gives two year work visa to the students after course completion. However, after two year work permit, the steps are unclear. Students have to look for companies that may sponsor them for further visa. These companies sometimes ask for huge amount of money in exchange for sponsorship.

The best college for both national and international students.
Tips: Students should carefully consider the course and college they have selected. Merit students will get the best scholarships based on their academic achievements. They should also focus on their academic scores and English proficiency test scores, such as IELTS, PTE, and Duolingo.
Likes (Part time work): We enjoy our time in the library studying with friends and discussing every aspect of our subjects. We also enjoy events like cultural activities and group discussions regarding our subjects. Students from different cities are there in our college and they are friendly with their fellow mates.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The faculty is always available to help students and they are very good at explaining even the most difficult concepts. The facilities are also very good and they exceed the expectations of the students. The teachers are very understanding and patient and they never get annoyed with our questions.
