MSc in International Business Management with Professional Placement - Batch of 2025
4.0
Finding a job in the UK is very difficult due to high competition and limited opportunities.
Tips: While the university is good, know how to get take most out of it. Attend lectures, talk to professors, and take guidance from them. In addition, start applying for jobs at least 3 to 4 months before the end of your course. Employers take time to reply, and there are many applicants.
Likes (Value for money): The university is amazing and has free bus transportation. Also, the student accommodation is good, where you share the kitchen space but can get an en-suite room. You can access a common room to spend time with your friends and do your assignments. Overall, Kingston is an amazing place.
Dislikes (Internships): Finding a job in the UK is very difficult due to high competition and limited opportunities. To succeed, you have to tailor your CV, talk to people, and be active on LinkedIn. If you are seeking part-time employment, you must carry your resume with you when you visit random stores and ask if there are any available jobs.

MSc International Business Management with Entrepreneurship - Batch of 2025

No big companies hire interns, especially students.
Tips: Use your network of important people, as that is the only way you are going to get a job. Forget big companies and go wherever is going to work best, save what you can, and travel if you have extra money. One thing that I regret not doing was travelling while I worried about jobs and everything. Just live life and you'll figure it out.
Likes (Public transportation): Great transportation as there is connectivity everywhere and it's way economical and convenient, as Uber and a car cost as much as people’s groceries for a week. Be aware of areas you should not visit, especially by public transportation, as those areas are very unsafe. The rest is great. Get a student Oyster card, as it saves 40% of the cost. Don’t use a bank card, as they don’t have a spending cap. A 40% discount is a lot; that’s about 1,000 pounds per year.
Dislikes (Internships): No one gives internships. No big companies hire interns, especially students, as they do not hire students who are only allowed to work 20 hours. And guess what, we are not allowed to work more than 20 hours. That is something you need to understand before you go. It's not demotivating, but it's a taste of reality.

College provides a portal where you can see and apply for internships.
Tips: Make sure you have relevant experience; otherwise, you'll struggle to find a job post studies. I saw that most students were coming to the UK without having proper preparation. Those students struggle a lot with part-time and full-time jobs. If you are not planning to work in the UK, your purpose is only to complete studies, then it's okay to come to Kingston.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport was easily available. Even college has its own buses, which makes commuting very easy for students. You can apply for a student Oyster card to make your travel cheaper and faster. My personal monthly expenditure on transport was below 100 pounds.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships were not offered, and the one that I managed to find on my own was not suitable with my visa restrictions of 20 hours a week. College does provide a portal where you can see and apply for internships, but those internships are very restricted because of the visa restrictions.

The university is good, the faculty are sweet yet unpredictable.
Tips: The college offers scholarships to students with financial difficulties. I wasn't qualified for it, so I didn't apply. But my time at Kingston was a life-changing experience. I transitioned in a lot of ways, not just because I was at Kingston, but because it's a new country of living for me. So from independent living to studying and figuring out everything on my own, I changed as a person in my thoughts and personality and gained more confidence, plus learned a lot about the Western culture as well.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus has its own bus service, which is great. There is an app for it, and one can see its schedule. The bus connects the campus to all the important city centre places and to the other campuses as well. It's free, hygienic, and a service that not many other universities provide.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty was approachable and accessible only during work hours because one can have queries anytime. The teaching methodology is good, with a mix of theoretical and practical work that provides good exposure and mental stimulation to prepare you for the real world. However, I thought the faculty was not very diverse in terms of nationality. There were Indian professors and some of Indian origin, but apart from the local British faculty, there weren't many others, or perhaps my department didn't have many.

This University has given me a platform to be successful in life.
Tips: I recommend the students to find the accommodation early as soon as they get the admit from the University. The on-campus accommodation is a good choice without any hassle. If your preference is on campus accommodation then book it as soon as possible without being late.
Likes (Part time work): I must say the quality of life in the campus of Kingston University is amazing. We can do lots of fun activities apart from classes. We do have many activities to do and all the international students from different countries share their thoughts and are friendly.
Dislikes (Student Life): The quality of faculty at Kingston University is really amazing and I would rate 5 out of 5. The faculty is research oriented and they teach the syllabus in an understanding manner. The way of faculty here is research and practical oriented and they also help students in many aspects.

Dislikes (Safety): I felt to give 4 star because every one has their own opinion. There are no such activity that concerns your safety. Everyone is busy with his or her own life no one cares about other.

LMU is one of the best university in Germany and is known for reasearch orientation.
Tips: No spoon-feeding. You need to know the basics of the topic before even it starts. Exams are quite hard to pass, but you get two attempts every semester. Focus on smart work rather than hard work. Culture is quite different; people here are unapproachable. And winter is also harsh. But once you get used to it. It's fine.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Professors are always there to help. They not only focus on theory but also on experimental work. Student-friendly and supportive. Always encouraging doing new things. Mostly they ask us to use reference books or research papers. And every week there is a meeting where I have to present my work to my supervisor about my research.
Dislikes (Part time work): It is really hard to get a part-time job. You need at least B2 level German language proficiency. Working student is a good option but hard to get. You get rejection here and there without any reason. And they prefer students from their country over international ones.

Excellent in academics and one of the top german universities
Tips: Honestly, getting an offer from LMU Munich is a huge deal but you need to be ready for the reality of it. Munich is an incredible city to live in but the university itself doesn't just hand you an amazing social life or easy grades. It’s a massive, traditional German uni, which means you have to be highly independent from day one. If you put yourself out there, your weeks will be packed with exploring the city, hanging out by the Isar, and actually getting to dive into the clubs and activities you’ve always wanted to try. It completely changes your perspective on living abroad. Just don't expect a hand-held campus experience—it’s up to you to chase down the opportunities and make the city feel like home.
Likes (Student Life): As student life is full of everything, there are opportunities for growth and new people and connections from all over the world. Studying here gives you a connection to its great alumni community. You can also go to English Garden very next to the university and have a great time.
Dislikes (Part time work): Yes, even though it’s a very prestigious university, the demand for part-time work is very high, and everyone wants to work in their same field of study. So if you just want to do part-time in any field, I think it's easy to find, and the pay is also very good.

There are many internships available both academic and industry oriented.
Tips: There is a cultural shift, and knowing German can help. I came without a scholarship and had to bear most of the cost myself, which was also a valuable learning experience. I am quite satisfied with the university, especially taking into account the international friendly city of Munich. Many opportunities for fun outside of work, in sports, dance and music. I cannot speak for the whole of Germany.
Likes (Internships): There are many internships available both academic and industry oriented. As a part of the course, you must also complete 2 internships during the Master's so in some way you are encouraged, and the faculty is encouraged to have student interns. Many academic groups provide internships, which are not paid, while industrial positions often include a stipend. All the above information is regarding field-specific internships.
Dislikes (Student Life): Student life is quite different here. There is a very little community, and most friends are made during the compulsory coursework, in student dorms and shared internships. Events are organised 1-2 times per year by the faculty, and there are frequent student parties that happen at student dorms. There is one main student club in the University for academic organisation, and a few if not none, for other activities. Most students spend time at home and come to campus only for coursework.

LMU is a world class university with great facilities.
Tips: I think it's very important to be flexible. The tuition fee is cheaper but it's a very expensive deal, I feel. So you would have to accept that money can be an issue. There's a great cultural difference also, Munich people are helpful but generally upfront which can be perceived as rude but they are very direct. Scholarship opportunities are there but they are pretty competitive. I am pretty satisfied with the university, the city and the country. I would like to stay here permanently.
Likes (Value for money): I do think tuition feels is justfied as it's not a lot and the return you get is good. LMU is world famous university, you get good faculty members, and job options. You get student benefits at almost every museum and on public transport. You get deutschalnd ticket discount.
Dislikes (Part time work): I feel there are quite a lot of possibilities for part time jobs. Sometimes it can get hectic to manage studies and jobs both but doable. You get at least minimum wage everywhere which is around 12 euros per hour. I am not very sure about the on campus opportunities but off campus there are a lot of opportunities in cafes, in the football stadium.

There are different types of work visas based on the field.
Tips: Coming from India, there is a cultural shift that atleast I experienced, in terms of the environment in universities in India and here. Since there are no tuition fees at LMU for most of the courses, the scholarships are limited. There are organisations that offer scholarships but have requirements such as language proficiency among others. I availed a merit based scholarship after my first year based on my grades wherein I got 650 euros for 5 months for one semester. My course was highly academic and rigorous and comparably at par with other top universities offering Economics at Masters level. The university always had an atmosphere that pushed me in every way to better myself, be it doing better in exams or participating in extra-curricular activities such as exchange programs, seminars and projects. I was more than satisfied with my choice of course, university and country.
Likes (Student Life): There are many groups, clubs and communities that one can join ranging from sports, academics to recreational. Regarding the events that are organised on the campus, there are many faculty organised events, for example, industry oriented projects, career fairs, guest lectures and seminars. There are also other community events such as semester parties, university fests and sports events. There is always something happening.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Although the course is offered in English but for good job prospects, post degree, it’s very important to have German language proficiency at least B1-B2. There are jobs that are in English but very few and highly competitive. In Germany, it is generally not required for companies to offer sponsor visas for work. If you are successful in getting an offer, you could simply apply for a work visa with the job contract. Important to note here is that there are different types of work visas based on the field; bottleneck professions such as STEM and Medical and salary limits, Blue card salary limits. Job roles and salary packages depend solely on the field of study and the previous experience though working in student positions and internships as a student. MSc Economics graduates usually work in finance, taxes, banking and consulting and ofcourse there are PhD opportunities after the Masters.

LMU is a great place for people who are initiative takers.
Tips: The administration here is not that great. Things every student must know aren't really unannounced anywhere. You must proactively get yourself added to WhatsApp and Telegram groups, which certainly exist, no matter your course, and keep track of information there. Life here is slightly convenient. Supermarket closes by 8 pm; commuting to university takes around 30 min; dinner needs to be made at home; ordering food from restaurants is expensive around 15 euros for a meal. It can also be isolating, not just academically. In India, one is used to knowing their classmates and their lecturers. Here, due to the amount of flexibility we have, it is usual for you to only know 3-4 of your classmates throughout your course, depending on which subjects you choose. Taking initiative is what will change your life. Or being good friends with someone else who does. You must also be proactive in discussing tutorials and attending lectures. Also, in making friends. Be proactive and make sure you meet friends every once in a while. Otherwise, it is easy to get too stressed out. Don't take too many courses, keep it to 12 credits for the first semester.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time jobs are available in Munich. You will get one for sure, if you look around, within 2-3 months or so. However, it is tedious to find them. There is no single unified portal where all such jobs are advertised. Instead, one must be proactive in seeking them: searching different groups, talking to different group leaders. Even if there are no job openings in their groups, they often offer proactive students work. This is a lot of work, but doable.

Highly qualified faculty and a diverse learning environment.
Tips: The transition relied heavily on getting used to the German weather. Munich as a city can get extremely cold in the winter and a lot of bureaucratic as well as home maintenance work requires effort as well as at least a basic understanding of the German language. While the University itself is extremely diverse and while a large fraction of the staff at cafes, restaurants or grocery stores are able to communicate in English using German as a language to approach individuals (outside the University) can become a useful skill.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty members that I worked and studied with are not only highly qualified but are also extremely accommodating and approachable with conceptual difficulties as well as bureaucratic needs. If they are unable to help you out, they refer you to the relevant authorities who would definitely help you out.

Finding my research identity in LMU.
Tips: There is one important thing that everyone should know especially about LMU and my course in particular. I came here thinking I would finish my degree in 2 years and transition to a PhD. But I am going to start my master's thesis at the end of my 2nd year. It is quite normal here to finish the degree at your own pace. That was a major culture shock for me, since in India, masters is considered a 2 year commitment. LMU offers a lot of scholarships to international students such as Deutschland Stipendium and LMU SIST Scholarships. I am very much satisfied with LMU and Munich in general.
Likes (Student Life): LMU has amazing student life. You could meet different kinds of people from different sets of society and are also exposed to a multitude of cultures. Over the past 2 years, I have only been on the college campus for a few months to attend mandatory courses, after which I designed my courses such that I don't have to go to campus regularly. I spent my remaining time exploring labs, working different types of part-time jobs and travelling.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): For the field of Biology post-study jobs majorly narrow down to PhD. And the pay for Ph.D. is enough to survive everywhere. If you are coming with the expectation of getting an indutsry based jobs, it might take a lot of effort and time.

Best student life and friendly people.
Tips: It was a life-changing transition for me. I became more independent and aware of myself. Most of the mundane things like grocery shopping, keeping your space clean, cooking, etc., may sound easy on paper, but this is where you get to know a lot of things about yourself. I also made good friends in my German class as well as where I used to work part-time. I enjoyed every bit of my time in Munich. LMU Munich has some of the best research facilities and the faculty here, in one way or another, have all worked with Nobel Laureates. The course has also been structured in such a way that it gives you a lot of freedom to choose your courses and internships. Germany as a country is great to live in, apart from all the paperwork you have to be ready for.
Likes (Student Life): The best thing about studying in Munich is the student life. You will never get bored. There are ample things to do. The best way to emerge with local and make friends is to enrol yourself in any sport/music/dance activity at the Olympia Park. You can enrol through your university and most of the prices are very nominal for students. Apart from this, you can enjoy the beer garden and travel to any part of the city through its amazing public transportation. There are also a lot of options to enrol in a language course through the university as well, where you can make friends within your class. The best thing is that your fee will be refunded if you pass the exam. In addition, my campus and the faculty of Biology always had fun events to organize, especially for freshers, like sightseeing, visits to museums, ice skating, and trekking in the Alps. During Christmas time, we also have a potluck dinner, bonfires, and lots of baking.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Not any fixed number. Most of the MNCs offer sponsored work visas. Even start-ups actively look for international talent. Job roles and salary packages depend on the domain area. For IT and finance, you can expect to get paid more than in other avenues. The important thing to keep in mind when applying for jobs is that the role needs to align well with your background. In addition, knowledge of the German language is a critical criteria as well to land jobs.

A great university for bioscience and to get to know the world.
Tips: It is a great university, at least in the domain of biology. You will get enough opportunities to connect with various world-renowned faculty, meet great people at conferences, and talk. The lab atmosphere and the university curriculum are also wonderfully planned.
Likes (Internships): A regular day at LMU would be attending lectures, socializing at the mensa (canteen) and getting to know your cohort. If you are performing internships or mini-jobs, you can also beat the respective labs or institutions or companies where you are performing them. Events like seminars, workshops etc. are conducted by various faculty members and are happening almost every day on the campus. There are a lot of student clubs and communities as well, where you can freely join.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The faculty at LMU Munich is very approachable. Apart from being professors who take care of your lectures, they also turn into your guides if you do further internships with them in their labs. Professors mostly refer to relevant research and review articles and various textbooks while preparing the documents for the lecture. The faculty is not very diverse, at least in the case of Biology but they are very accommodating.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The German language is compulsory for the Permanent Settlement. The waitlist is for 5 years (studies not included). There is a test for citizenship or PR for which you have to study enough. It is a slow time taking process that needs immense patience and paperwork.

Globally reputed, research oriented and great for growth and networking.
Tips: Students should be prepared for a self directed learning style. Professors expect indenpendence and critical thinking. Most Masters course are highly research oriented, so developing strong analytical and writing skills helps a lot. Also knowing a basic German can make daily life smoother.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Chances for PR are excellent in Germany. You need B1-B2 level German, a few required exams and around three years of work experience in the German Market. The process is straightforward and I would definitely consider setting here permanent. The table economy, strong work culture and high quality of like make German an ideal place to build a long term future.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is approachable and experienced, but their teaching style can be difficult to follow.

The university is great with good faculty and easy and affordable transportation.
Tips: The college is great. It has a good library and open-minded and helpful professors. Since the college is in Munich, a lot of people speak/know English so it is easy for people who don't speak German, although will advise them to learn it as it can be helpful in the future for the long run. There are scholarships for students, you can check the university website for details as I have not availed of any so don't know much about it. Get ready for a cultural shift because it's different here. The shopping experience, public transport, and paperwork for city registration and such. And one most important thing, getting good accommodation is tough, so be prepared to compromise a bit at least in the start.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The Indian food in restaurants is either too expensive and/or not as good. There are Indian shops but not as many, so might have to travel to get the things. Overall, if you want to have Indian food without paying too much, you have to make it yourself and good Indian street food is rare.

Learning German is not necessary but will help.
Tips: The main problem you'll face will be finding accommodation in Munich. So if you are planning to come, start looking as soon as possible. The people here are really accommodating, so learning German is not necessary. However, it's always good to know, as it makes getting around the city really convenient.
Likes (Value for money): 0 Fees (except the 80 euros per semester) for a programme with exclusive lectures and amazing professors, workshops and tutorials from prominent people in my field, summer school, hackathons, data fest, and a practical with companies like Brain and Co. , Adidas, BMW, Lufthansa etc. Furthermore, the cohort is only ~20 people taken from a highly selective process. So you get really focused lectures and an amazing group of people to work with throughout your course.

Once in a lifetime experience
Tips: Make sure your CV is good and that you have done a lot of internships. Be prepared for the interview and the entrance exam. Make sure your basics are strong. Also, you should have a strong purpose of why you are applying for this university and what is your goal.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty here at LMU is best. They teach what they are currently researching on. All the syllabus is on the current laboratory status. The faculty is very friendly, easy-going, helpful, encouraging and fun. They know what they are teaching and they really have interest to teach the students and clear their doubts.
Dislikes (Part time work): It's difficult to get part time work even if there is an offer of a good job, there will be a lot of applications. There is always a possibility of you not getting a part time student job. So, the competition is very high to apply for a student job.
