MSc in Data Science - Batch of 2024

Leeds Beckett does not offer any specific placement programs.
Tips: People on campus are friendly. Finding part-time jobs might be hard as Leeds is a student hub. Of course, there are cultural differences when moving to another continent, but nothing too hard that one can't get accustomed to in the first one or two months. I did get a scholarship based on my grade for international students.
Likes (Safety): The city is safe, the campus is mostly safe and guarded. There is a shuttle bus from City campus to Headingley campus and vice versa on designated times, so if you plan your day around it, you don't really have to depend on public transportation and can save quite a good amount of money.
Dislikes (Internships): Unlike most Indian universities, Leeds Beckett does not offer any specific placement programs. Instead, it facilitates the job-hunting process. Internships can be hard to secure, and your skills and talent play a primary role in securing them. You have a lot of occasions and events to make connections. Networking at these events can help you meet potential employers.

The process of applying for a visa to work is expensive.
Tips: I have become more independent and have made friends across all nationalities. The simpler part of Leeds is its friendly crowd and social culture that makes it easy for making friends. The university is in the city centre, which makes it very accessible. The Leeds City Bus Services are a convenient way to get around, and the train and bus stations are both within two miles’ distance of the university. Using your student pass to purchase tickets makes bus travel affordable, and having a rail card gives you discounts on travel between cities. I did not avail of any scholarships as I come from an Indian university tie-up programme. I am quite satisfied with my university and the UK in general.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I'm not interested in settling down in the UK. The process of applying for a visa to work is expensive, and it is hard to guarantee that there is a job waiting for me. People who have sponsorship roles can make the process more affordable. However, for most others, it is expensive. My goal was to finish my MBA and start up a company in India. Putting deliberate thought and effort into your job search will help land you a job in the UK.

The university provides us with internship opportunities and has great academics.
Tips: Students should know that the university has two campuses, the city campus and the Headingley campus. Scholarships are available at both campuses, and they range up to 3000 pounds. The university provides good exposure to the students, which is very helpful for their future careers. I love the culture, the place, and the people here. It's a great place to study, learn, and get a job. I would personally recommend coming here to study and stay. I'd like to stay here myself and excel in my studies so that I can start my own business. I am very satisfied with the university and the course I am pursuing.
Likes (Part time work): The university is very vast and helpful. It helps students get internships and explore new opportunities that could lead to full-time jobs. An internship is the best way to get a career boost, and if the university offers placement assistance, that's even better.

Leeds Beckett University is fun going and friendly university.
Tips: Before joining Leeds Beckett University, students should know that it's essential to have a backup plan and be financially prepared, as relevant jobs are hard to come by. Students should also focus on doing their own assignments and not outsource them, as this can lead to complications. Overall, I'm satisfied with the module content at Leeds Beckett University.
Likes (Student Life): It's vibrant as Leeds is mostly a student-based city. You can share your rent with friends and spend less too. You can split groceries as well because everyone is very friendly here. I've been to so many nightclubs and events that it really feels very festive.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I have attended so many job fairs but haven't gotten in yet. And most of the companies that offer jobs are non-relevant to sports. I have only worked in part-time jobs while studying in this university, full time jobs are really hard to get and sponsorship too.

College is amazing and specially the international student environment.
Tips: They give international scholarships to every international student so get it before paying any fees, and many more scholarships are available, you can find them on their official website. I have two scholarships one is international and is a Btec level 7 Master.
Likes (Value for money): I got two scholarships from the college, so I only had to pay 9555 pounds a year for my MBA. In India, you have to pay more than 10 lakhs for an MBA, so getting an international degree at Leeds Beckett was a good value for money.
Dislikes (Internships): It is easy to find an internship anywhere, but you should first decide which college you want to study at. After that, you need to research the college because every field has different colleges. Leeds Beckett College is the best college for everyone because its QS ranking is good. However, the college does not provide internships, so you will have to find one on your own.

College is good but some faculty member are not good.
Tips: Before you join the university, choose your course first, which should be related to your previous course. Once you join the university, make sure you focus on your assignments before the class and try to become a global ambassador role. Also, try to engage with international students to gain your knowledge. The establishment of high standards and maintained compliance with all regulatory safety guidelines from sanitation to staff training and the environment is well maintained. Staff may be trained in safety protocols, displaying responsiveness in addressing any safety concerns or unique.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I was disappointed with the university's job placement services. I did not feel they provided enough opportunities for me to find a job in my field of study. As a result, I did not get the job I wanted and had to take a job in another field.

The most effective and efficient method for students to acquire knowledge and make progress.
Tips: This institution of higher learning operates differently from its Indian counterparts, especially traditional written examinations in favour of an assessment-based approach. Classes typically convene for two to three days each week. Prior to my enrollment, I was the recipient of a scholarship, and with the assistance of my agent, I was able to successfully navigate the application process. This scholarship opportunity is also available to other prospective students.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is a convenient option for students. Student pass discounts are available for a month, making it affordable to use buses and trains. However, the convenience of public transportation may depend on your location. If you live far from the university, you may need to walk to the bus stop.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time jobs offer great flexibility and accessibility, making them suitable for a wide range of individuals. However, achieving above-average compensation may pose a challenge. Despite this, I am successfully managing my financial obligations with the current minimum payout.

Satisfying experience at Leeds Beckett University
Tips: Before joining, students should be aware of cultural diversity, prepare for potential cultural shifts, and research scholarship opportunities. I transition smoothly with minor cultural adjustments. I obtained a scholarship based on academic excellence, providing financial support for my studies. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with Leeds Beckett University, its course quality, and the welcoming environment of the country.
Likes (Post study jobs): I rated permanent immigration/settlement options a 5 because my chances of permanent settlement in this country are favourable due to my qualifications and the country's immigration policies. Given the opportunity, I would consider permanently immigrating to this country as it offers stability, opportunities for growth, and a high quality of life.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I rated the internship a 4 because while there is some guidance available for finding and applying for the internship, it could be more comprehensive. Additionally, the available internships are somewhat relevant to my field of study, but there is room for improvement in terms of alignment with my specific interests and career guidance.

Lovable and easy going environment at Leeds Beckett University.
Tips: Coming to Leeds as an International student is a very enriching experience as you get a lot of exposure and get to learn a new way of life. We have close to about 60K students studying here so you get a very positive transition experience. I got a scholarship of 2K early bird which students can avail based on their academic record. I love the experience here in UK.
Dislikes (Student Life): Our university offers a diverse and exciting student life experience. We also have guest lectures where students get the opportunity to learn from the experiences of renowned guests. University also has a lot of societies in which you can become a member and network with people.

The methodology is also good and unique. They make study interesting also. It is easy to approach the faculty members.
Dislikes (Part time work): We don't get part-time easily and do not get much help. If we get more knowledge about the part times then it would be easier for the International students as we come from different places and do not have much knowledge. I would appreciate if we get to know more about the jobs and how to get them.

Experience beyond your thinking
Tips: My confidence has increased after studying and interacting with different cross-cultural students and faculty members at the University. I think almost everyone who got good grades in high school or Bachelor got a reasonable scholarship from this university. My satisfaction is above average with regard to the University course and country.
Likes (Safety): If you live in the main city center, then you have to pay more but there are no safety issues apart from the other areas such as Hyde Park, Harehills, and Bradford which are not so safe for anyone. I live nearby Headingley Stadium which is one of the safest places in Leeds.
Dislikes (Value for money): MBA, if I did it in India from one of the top colleges or even above-average colleges, it would cost me around 15 Lacs or more. Over here, my fee was 12.5 Lacs which was way better than Indian colleges and the exposure you get was an exceptional one. After completing your course, you can repay your education loan without any delay which is not easy in India.

Tips: I think that you will learn different cultures as most of the students here are from different countries. And yes they offer different kind of scholarships you should check your eligibility on their website and apply according and I am truly satisfied with my course.
Likes (Part time work): University offers many part time roles in university and even some full time roles for student with sponsorship and yes they help in getting part time jobs off campus also. You can easily manage your part time work along with your studies and you will pe paid according to minimum wages declared by government.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Because you will get only 2 year post study work permit after completing your studies other options are available like sponsorship from any organisation but university will not help you in getting these options you have to look for them by yourself only.

Also, try to understand the British accent as soon as possible otherwise it will be more difficult to understand.

Go for it, it’s a great experience!
Tips: Students should be open to communication with people from all backgrounds and not be stuck in their comfort zone while being here. And most importantly plan their move months in advance and not make it an impulsive decision. It takes a while to get used to so don't expect to seamlessly assimilate here.
Likes (Value for money): The cost of the course is a bit higher than most undergraduate courses. But the return on investment is generally higher for MBA courses. I also got a scholarship which made my life a bit easier given that studying abroad can become very expensive especially when you don't have time to work.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Leeds has not many transportation options, as there is no tram line like Manchester and Ubers can be expensive. The bus prices are increasing very frequently and the train station is only in the city centre and Burley and you may have to walk quite a bit for it.

Tips: I got a scholarship of 32000. There is a cultural shift because UK is not our home country. Don't expect that you will land a job immediately after Masters. You should have prior knowledge of your field before Masters. Minimum professional experience is mandatory.
Likes (Part time work): On campus part time jobs are just for name sake, as it is less than 20%. Off-campus opportunities are average, good to have your own vehicle for work so that you can opt for warehouse jobs. 20 hours a week is manageable without getting our studies hampered. Payout on NI job is about 310 on average.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Food outside is the worst. You won't be able to get South Indian options, and not worth the price at all. I always prefer cooking at home. A lot of Pakistanis sell food in the name of Indian food. Indian grocery is limited and expensive. Other region food options are good.

Dislikes (Public transportation): Location of the college is the best. Have good facilities like buses, friendly lectures, tutors with good academic skills.

Great place to study and work.
Tips: The weather is one thing in which you experience the change as well as the lifestyle of the people around you. Also, the language is also the barrier that these people have with the accents of here. I got the scholarship of 3500 GBP which was a great help that was availed at the time of admission. It is mentioned in the CAS letter. I am very satisfied with my course and future opportunities in the country.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transport in Cardiff is very good and timely. It has a day pass option as well, which is nice. Another great feature they have is the public transport app, which tells you which buses go where, and their departure and arrival times. As far as price goes, it's reasonable -- not too cheap, not too expensive. I think it's about 4.5 GBP per day.
Dislikes (Internships): As far as the internship part is concerned, the student union helps students get jobs, but we have to be adequately skilled. Also, the Student Future department helps students. However, this assistance is only provided because students are also supposed to eagerly look for jobs, but this assistance doesn't always come through because the opportunities are limited. Therefore, you need to be patient.

Fun and filled with challenges!
Tips: Everything depends on your mindset and willingness to adjust, its not gonna be easy at all! Every course has some scholarships for international students. There will be lots of cultural shifts, they will change you as a person. I am satisfied with the course/country 7.5 on a scale of 1-10.
Likes (Post study jobs): Not many companies would want to give you a sponsored visa if you don't have work experience in the UK depending on your niche, sponsored jobs can vary from 4-6% (i.e only that % of your course strength might actually land in a sponsored job).
Dislikes (Part time work): In this economy and high rate of immigrants, finding a job part-time isn't that easy. It might take you a few months 3-6 depending on your applications and effort. You can earn about 700-800 3 per month if you work 20 hrs per week. Very manageable with studies if you're a hard worker.

Cardiff University is amazing in terms of study and student life.
Tips: The transition was very smooth, my peers and teachers were very friendly and I was able to make amazing friends. I had a scholarship for academic excellence (90% in 10th and 85% in 12th). It was a scholarship of fee education by 33000. My University caters to my every need, the faculty on my course is spectacular and Cardiff is very easy to travel in and amazing for student life.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty are all very experienced, pioneers of their fields, friendly and helpful with students. There is so much to learn from them. We have office hours for doubt clarification and professors frequently reply to all your doubts by email. The teaching method is very interactive and makes the subject really interesting, the professors like using real life examples to connect us with the concept. The faculty is very diverse and they are friendly.
Dislikes (Value for money): The international fees is obviously quite a lot but you do get some very good opportunities and interact with some of the leading researchers in Physics which kind of makes it worth it. The fee is reasonable compared to other UK universities and hence provides fairly decent value for money.

The struggle is real. Not fit for freshers, come with experience.
Tips: The course was pretty basic. So I think just know how to struggle. I am not satisfied with the course and country due to bad situations. Also, housing crisis is going on. No scholarships were provided. Cultural shift is real. Please don't come if you are fresher. They charge for graduate VISA as well. Now they have increased the fee to 3000 pounds.
Likes (Student Life): Overall student life is fun. There are Bollywood parties, you can play football in the park and enjoy with your friends roaming in the UK. There are multiple events like diwali, holi for Indian students. Also, lot more things, you can play cricket, go to trips etc.
Dislikes (Value for money): No part time jobs are available. No professional jobs, as a fresher, you need 1-3 years of experience. You should not come to UK for I think the next 3 years. Also, teaching is okayish. Don't come if you are expecting salaries like USA. You have to buy graduate Visa for 3000 which is valid for 2 years. Public transportation buses are cheap, trains are costly.

University of quality education with best ethics.
Tips: You should have confidence in your choice of course. You should figure out a way to do some part time work so that you’ll be able to fulfill your needs. You should also check out things about the environment near the college/ university like discrimination etc. Also, research the programme you want to enroll in.
Likes (Internships): Discrimination free environment with helpful folks. Student life of university was very good as everything what student needs during their time at the university like problem solving environment, sports activities both indoor & outdoor games, library, cafeteria & other activities are provided.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I experienced best in quality of faculty. Faculty of the university, focus on practical things more than the theory works. The best part of faculty is that they are very helpful in nature and they suggest and guide very clearly that help students.

Open minded, understanding and student friendly university.
Tips: The course is very interesting, and I am enjoying the variety of modules that help me understand the field in and out. However, the on-campus accommodation is very expensive, very far from the university, and very small. I would highly recommend taking off-campus accommodation, either student housing or private accommodation, as they are more spacious and price-friendly. I also received a scholarship for my first year of 2000 pounds. Scholarships are available for all years of study, provided you score first class. The country is not very welcoming, the locals are racist, and the weather is always depressing. You rarely see the sun. I am satisfied with my university experience at Cardiff University.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The professors at Cardiff University are very nice and always willing to help students. They are approachable if you schedule an appointment in advance. However, unlike in India, where students are used to being spoon-fed every detail before an assignment, here you are expected to do your own research and then come up with your own solution. This approach helps develop critical thinking and patience, which I appreciate and find to be a unique aspect of this university. On the downside, the faculty is not very diverse; they are all white, with no black, Chinese, or Indian professors.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): It is very difficult to get a job in the media field as a fresher. None of the companies were willing to offer me a job unless I got a work visa. The average salary offered by the company in this field is 24,000, which is not enough at all. Many jobs for administration and part-time bartenders and waitresses are being offered, but only a few professional jobs are available. Hardly any company would give you a job for who you are as an international student. If you're extraordinarily smart and confident, you might land a few interviews. But none of the companies want to give a chance to international students.
