MSc Sport Business and Leadership - Batch of 2024
3.3
Supportive and encouraging, but still requires you to take the first step.
Tips: Loughborough University London was a good experience. It is important to make use of everyone and every event, to talk to your peers and ask them questions about themselves, their goals and their cultures. The staff are friendly. I got a 20% scholarship on the overall tuition. It was for academic merit, and that made the course a lot more affordable.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is great here. Not only can you talk to them outside of class, but you can even email them. Since they’ve all accomplished so much in their fields, it’s worthwhile to ask them about topics that are covered in class.
Dislikes (Internships): The quality of the support is subpar, but there is some guidance. I feel that the connectivity from education to any kind of work, including internships, is lacking. Also, after you graduate from the university, the support in helping you get an internship is vague and generic.

A practical pathway to settlement in the UK- Loughborough and beyond.
Tips: Before joining Loughborough University students should know that it offers a perfect blend of academic excellence, practical learning and vibrant student life. It's highly regarded for engineering, business but it is the world's best university for sport for almost a decade now, with state-of-the-art facilities and a campus that feels like its own community. However, students must be proactive-opportunities are abundant, but they require initiative. Accommodation fills up fast, and managing finance, especially for international students, needs advance planning.
Likes (Value for money): The course that I study is something I would never find in my home country. The curriculum is extensive the faculty members are incredibly experienced and knowledgeable and the quality of brand collaboration is high. Opportunities to network with highly reputable members of the industry are represented and encouraged.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The United Kingdom offers limited opportunities for international students or immigrants to settle unless they secure a stable source of employment. Settlement becomes significantly more attainable when supported by strong economic prospects. I would personally like to settle only if the work opportunities are sustainable and offer a wide range of opportunities.

Big city and bigger opportunities.
Tips: Before joining, know that Loughborough London is quite industry-focused and self-driven. Opportunities are there, but you have to take initiative. Coming from Mumbai, I did feel a cultural shift; things here are more structured and individualistic, but it's helped me grow personally and professionally. I received a partial scholarship based on merit, which reduced my tuition. It's intense but full of opportunity if you make the most of it.
Likes (Indian Food): London has Indian food everywhere, from casual takeaways to full-blown thalis. Areas like Southall, Wembley, Harrow, Neasden, Kingsbury, and Queensbury in West London and Upton Park, East Ham, and Forest Gate in East London are packed with authentic Indian restaurants that genuinely hit home. And honesty considering it's London, the prices are pretty reasonable too. As a Mumbaikar being able to grab a vada pav from places like Shri Krishna Vada Pav in Tooting or Fusion Masti in East London for just 3.50 feels like a win. It's not just about taste, it's the nostalgia, the comfort, and the fact that these options are so accessible that makes it a solid 5 for me.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I enjoy living in London and see a lot of potential here the long term immigration and settlement process in the UK feels quite uncertain. The requirements are quite strict and securing sponsorship or a visa that leads to permanent residence isn't always straightforward especially when you're just starting out.

MSc in International Management - Batch of 2024
3.9
The university is strong in terms of academics and discipline.
Tips: Initially, transitioning to life in London was quite challenging, especially adjusting to the weather. But with time, things started to fall into place, and the city slowly grew on me. I moved here with my friend, which made the adjustment much easier both emotionally and financially. College life here is very different from that in India. It's harder to make friends outside of campus because everyone is busy juggling part-time jobs, assignments, cooking and maintaining their accommodation. That aid, the academics were genuinely strong. I enjoyed the classes and assignments. Finding a part-time job was difficult for me and took a lot of time. On the other hand, my friend was able to land a role as a Customer Service Advisory with Lloyds within just a month. It goes to show that everyone's journey is different and it is hard to generalise these experiences. Even after completing my studies over a year ago, I'm still finding it challenging to secure a full-time job. My friend, however, managed to get one, which again highlights how outcomes can vary a lot depending on the individual. But one great thing about coming here is that you get to interact with a lot of people from different countries and cultures, which definitely broadens your network and perspective. I was also fortunate to receive a scholarship based on my undergraduate academic performance in India which reduced my tuition from 25,000 to 22,000. Studying abroad is a major decision. You need to be mentally and financially prepared, especially for the first few months, as they can be quite draining. If possible, try to come with a friend or at least have some genuine acquaintances here to avoid feeling isolated. As for the university itself, it was strong in terms of academics and discipline, although it is not very well-known among people despite being ranked in the top 20.
Likes (Indian Food): Since the London campus is located near Westfield Malls Stratford you have plenty of options, including many quick service joints. Plus, as a vegetarian myself, I found it easy to locate many pure vegetarian and vegan restaurants across the city. Wembley is a hub for finding good Indian food.
Dislikes (Internships): This is a one year course and it doesn't permit you to take up any internships during vacation time. There is a career support department you can engage with and they send some opportunities. Even outside you're not permitted to work for internships because of the visa restriction of 20 hours of work so it's a kind of disadvantage.

MA- Arts Administration and Cultural Policy - Batch of 2020
Offered by Goldsmiths, University of London
4.1
Diversity, interdisciplinary and fun.
Tips: There is a great first week of introduction when the entire college comes together and gets to know each other through various events and programs. I was also part of Goldsmiths badminton team, representing the college. Sports are also a great way to get to know different students at the college. They do have scholarship options. Living in London and being in London was a joy.
Likes (Post study jobs): I completed my postgraduation during Covid, yet I was still able to immediately get a job in my field. Goldsmiths is one of the top colleges in the UK and even during Covid, it made 100% that students get the best learning experience. This made it easier for me to know and understand my field of work better than the rest of my contemporaries.
Dislikes (Indian Food): London is filled with people from Indian origin and South Asia, hence it's pretty easy to feel right at home with regards to food. There are various ways to be part of the different fairs, and a chance to have culinary experiences from around the world, thanks to London.

Felt ill-equipped in the job market. Made great friends though.
Tips: You'll have fun, but regular strikes and the tense political climate do make your future tenuous. And if you manage to even get interviews, be prepared to be seriously low balled. The government has made it hard for even well meaning companies to sponsor international talent. Your money can be better spent if you wish to plan your future abroad.
Likes (Indian Food): Absolutely love London's food scene. There are many Indian restaurants for when you feel homesick. I prefer cooking but if I'm in the mood for eating out there are a million options. It can get super expensive though so you must learn how to meal prep.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Terrible job market and anti immigration policies. You definitely don't get your money's worth in terms of long term prospects. They do not prepare you for the job market, imbibe very half baked skills. The money we pay is mainly to sustain the bankrupt universities, not for quality education.

MSc Marketing and Consumer Behaviour - Batch of 2026

4.5
Public transport in London is absolutely amazing.
Tips: Transitioning after coming here was really easy. It's very easy to meet new people and make new friends as everyone here so social and the university is very encouraging of people from different backgrounds and courses socializing and will even host a lot of events just for that. I got a scholarship of 4000 through the university website. Extremely satisfied with my university, course, faculty and the UK. It's been an amazing experience.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport in London is absolutely amazing and the most convenient. Bus fare is fairly cheap and affordable and you can get anywhere by spending just 1.75 per trip. Train travel is a bit more on the expensive side but really fast if you want to get somewhere far.
Dislikes (Internships): There aren't many internships that Goldsmiths offers in my field of study, but they do have a lot of opportunities in Fine Arts as it's mainly an art university. Their CareerSPACE portals are really helpful for finding paid or volunteering opportunities.

This place changes the way you see the world.
Tips: The university is very liberal. Everyone finds their space here. Though I’ve lived and worked abroad before, it left me feeling more culturally aware, more opinionated and confident in my thoughts. It connected me deeply to my art. Besides that, London is a fabulous city. Lots of things to do, so much to explore and everyone finds their area of interest.
Likes (Student Life): There are lots of clubs and events for students to mingle with. The campus is huge and very student friendly. The events organised by the student clubs are also great. Lots of opportunities to network and meet new people often. Though a lot of these activities are for Bachelors courses. Masters students usually have so much to do that there’s little time to spend on the campus.
Dislikes (Internships): Unless you have good experience, this course won’t prepare you to find good opportunities. There will be free internships and full support to find those from the university but paid ones are hard to find. There are good networking opportunities though.

Be open minded before joining Goldsmiths.
Tips: To have an open mind to everything, to be able understand way beyond just what is happening around you. I got scholarships too. I’m very satisfied.
It was a game changing experience for me.
Every time I think of Goldsmiths, I think of the personality differences I had after studying there. I opened up to the core of myself, to be able to receive and then to be able to build.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): It’s closer to the London Bridge and the central area. Events like welcoming events in the first week of your uni and then every festival you can celebrate your own way. Chinese New Year, Christmas. All types of communities are on campus. You need to choose what you resonate with.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): They’re very different from other professors. At Goldsmiths nothing for right or wrong. They were open to understanding your pov. Teachings were more experiential and that made it easier and fun plus very useful. The faculty is very diverse. But you’ll find less Asians as professors, more all over the world maybe now things have changed.

BA in Design - Batch of 2023
Offered by Goldsmiths, University of London
4.1
Good learning environment and helpful faculty.
Tips: I was an introvert to say the least. This university gave me the wings to take off, express myself and my views creatively and am glad to say that I'm a changed person altogether than how I was when I joined in 2019. I'd applied through clearing, hence didn't avail any scholarships, but people do get options of it, quite decent ones.
Likes (Quality of faculty): In my time at Goldsmiths, I never had to worry about the tutors at all. Each of them possesses the best knowledge from reputed institutes that they've graduated from, and the way they impart knowledge, as well as the ticks and methods they use, is quite commendable. Since I studied design, there would be interesting lectures and workshops for us to understand things. I would any day go back and get back to being taught by them. We had British tutors in our course, but some were Asian, South African, and of Indian descent.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Around Goldsmiths University of London, New Cross, Indian food is available but mediocre as you would find in central London or towards Wembley. They have takeaway options and many restaurants are 15-20 minutes away by public transport. I preferred cooking myself to have fresh food and dietary restrictions being a Jain. But, I would also eat out once in a while, not always Indian. But, apart from Indian food, there are many other restaurants and takeaways that are quite amazing - multiple cuisines are available in the area - Italian, Lebanese, Turkish, Pan Asian, and of good quality. There are many amazing cafes too.

An all encompassing system and experience.
Tips: People here are politically and socially woke, and very welcoming.
Extremely liberal and friendly environment.
A great balance between social and academic lives.
Sensitive to the needs and expectations of the students such as neurodivergence, mental healthcare, gender and orientation, accessibilities.
Very satisfied.
Likes (Public transportation): There's an overground station right across the campus.
Two bus stops a few hundred metres apart from each other, both close to the university premises.
A DLR station within a 15-minute radius.
Extremely accessible with several pubs and cafes around.
Fun arts culture, great experience.
A liberal atmosphere.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The UK is currently going through a period of recession which has reduced the scope of immigration and settlement options in the country. Permanent immigration seems like a considerable option however, given the new immigration laws and the recession that's going on in the UK immigrating isn't as easy as it once was.
