LLB in Law - Batch of 2025
2.8
The experience has been decent & not exactly worth the money you pay.
Tips: The university isn't very safe (the stabbings and phone snatchers are real); please be aware. Never travel alone at night, especially. Always carry some sort of protection (pepper spray, etc.). Never be too distracted at weird new places (take the usual routes). Overall accommodations are nice but expensive, & the cheap ones will come free with silverfish & rates for real: //If you want student club surroundings, allow Field Campus (the best accommodation is Unsworth Park; the worst is Oak House). If you want to be close to the library and university, allow Whitworth Park accommodation. The best of both world's is city center accommodation (you are in bus proximity to the city centre & the university) The university isn't generous with scholarships, so if you have better options like LSE or UCL, please pivot to those, as they are better value for money in terms of reputation as well as curriculum. I was studying law, & it was a decent experience. Please buy a bus pass at the start of the semester.
Likes (Indian Food): Indian restaurants are on every corner; you will find plenty of places to eat Indian food at. My personal favorite is ITR (Indian Tiffin Room). Try their Cheese Dosa; it's hands down better than India. The Indian food outside is obviously expensive (so please learn how to cook your own meals if you're on a budget). You can get Indian groceries easily.
Dislikes (Part time work): Finding a legal & decent part-time job is quite hard. The main reason being preference for cash workers (many businesses prefer to hire cash in hand workers, who work below legal wage (this is extremely common in Desi businesses/places)). In Manchester, all the jobs near "CURRY LANE" are of this category. Cash in hand again isn't easy, as the UK has a lot of illegal immigrants & refugees. *Never work cash in hand, as not only are you at a serious legal risk, but you will be completely exploited at work. Overall finding legal jobs is a challenge, as Manchester is a study-centric place with students of all kinds (the competition is fierce). Average payout is £11-14 for retail, restaurant, and similar roles. Best of luck, xoxo.

Suitcases, seminars and self-discovery: My MSc story beyond borders and books.
Tips: Studying at the University of Manchester is about way more than just getting a degree—it completely accelerates your personal growth. Moving to the UK comes with a real culture shock, from local civic habits to how heavy the drinking and night culture can be around student hubs. Academically, it’s a huge breath of fresh air compared to India. The coursework is incredibly practical rather than theory-heavy. For my very first assignment, we actually built a database for a custom Manchester-themed Monopoly game instead of just writing endless essays. On top of that, Manchester is easily the biggest tech hub outside London, so tech meetups, startup events, and networking opportunities are everywhere. I was awarded the £8,000 Bicentenary Global Futures Scholarship, which was credited straight toward my tuition fees. If you're coming here, be ready to step out of your comfort zone.

UoM Experience after a Master's degree
Tips: Students should inquire about the modules and other facilities provided by the university. Alongside this, the safety of the city is also something important to look into. Also check if the university is city-based or campus-based, depending on the kind of lifestyle one wants to have. Campus-based universities are situated in the countryside and can feel a little remote. Studying in a city-based university means everything is nearby, and you don't have to spend hours on public transport to go out for a social outing.
Likes (Public transportation): Getting around Manchester as a student is ridiculously easy and cheap, which is why I gave public transport a top rating. For starters, the 147 bus runs straight down Oxford Road through the main university campus and is totally free if you show your student ID. Plus, the Free Bus routes 1 and 2 make getting around the city centre and going between Piccadilly and Victoria stations completely free for everyone. For everything else, Andy Burnham’s Bee Network has made bus travel super affordable. Single fares are capped at £2, and no matter how many buses you hop on in a single day, you'll never pay more than £5 total. Between the constant buses running up and down Oxford Road and the Metrolink trams connecting you to places like Salford Quays or Didsbury, you honestly don't need a car at all.
Dislikes (Internships): I gave internships a low rating because my specific modules didn't offer any built-in placement options or course-integrated internships. You are pretty much expected to hunt for opportunities on your own through external job boards or the university’s Handshake portal. While the University of Manchester Careers Service is useful for fixing up your CV or running mock interviews, they don't hand out placements or match you directly with employers. The UK internship market around Greater Manchester—and across the UK in general—is brutally competitive right now. Unless your degree has a built-in placement year, you have to do all the legwork yourself. Finding time to apply to dozens of places while handling a full course load at Manchester gets overwhelming fast.

MSc Management of Projects - Batch of 2025
4.3
If you are able to utilise your time and opportunities well, It is an ideal option for early ROI.
Tips: The university is heavily academic. Come ready, for you have to read a lot of papers and write research papers. Choose your course wisely, as courses sound similar, but course structure can be different. Apply for scholarships early, as the spots tend to fill quickly. Try to live in student accommodation (either from the university or private), as it significantly reduces your stress. These accommodations organize events that allow you to network with students outside of your cohort.
Likes (Public transportation): I gave it a 5 because getting around Manchester is just incredibly cheap and easy. They use the yellow Bee Network buses and Metrolink trams here, and everything has a daily spending cap. You basically won’t cross five quid a day for bus fares, no matter how much you're hopping on and off. The city center and the main campus along Oxford Road are also completely walkable, so if you land a student house nearby in a spot like Fallowfield, you can honestly save a massive chunk of money just by walking to your lectures. Plus, having Manchester Airport sitting right on the direct train line within the city limits makes traveling back home or catching international flights entirely stress-free.
Dislikes (Internships): The university provides career workshops and guidance, but they don't have any dedicated placement cell for internships. They give sessions for CV review, interview preps, etc., but no specific companies come for special drives. You need to make your own connections, ask for opportunities, and network to get those positions.

Research and multidisciplinary focussed university
Tips: It gives immense opportunity for research and scope for development in the field but there are few opportunities for placement. There are scholarships available and it's good to apply for them but the housing is expensive, especially those offered by the university. It's a cultural shift in terms of freedom and autonomy offered to students and highly commendable for the research and courses they offer and the way they teach.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The professors here are incredible—they’re massive names in their fields, but they’re still completely down-to-earth and will genuinely go out of their way to help you out. The teaching is honestly top-tier. They don't just stand there lecturing at you—they give you real, brutal feedback to actually make you better. But honestly, the real trick here is just surviving the sheer volume of work. They dump the reading lists on you way ahead of time. If you don't skim through that stuff before class starts, you are going to be completely lost from minute one. Pre-reading is the only way to stay afloat, because then you can walk into office hours with specific, smart questions instead of just staring blankly at them. If you actually use those office hours right, the faculty will do whatever it takes to help you nail the material.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Few companies offer post-study work visas, and very few are available in the domain. The university does not provide opportunities to interact with employers in the space. There are very few opportunities available in the UK to settle in this domain. The economy is not growing well, and this may not be the top choice for recruiters in this field specifically.

UoM: Prepare For The Greatest Years
Tips: Connect with batchmates before you arrive here; otherwise, making friends might prove to be a little difficult. Find people around your city through the groups that the university makes. Manchester is super easygoing with infinite options apart from just studying. You will spend some of the greatest years of your life there, to a point where you feel like life peaked in uni.
Likes (Part time work): It is very easy to find part-time jobs in Manchester since the city is quite big with a lot of businesses that survive solely on reliable part-time workers. The uni job shop has a lot of very good options for part-time jobs. Aim for student marketer jobs; those are less demanding and a lot more flexible with great pay.

A smooth transition to a global learning experience
Tips: If you're heading to the University of Manchester, you're going to have a great time, but you seriously need to brace yourself for how independent everything is—both in the classroom and in daily life. Do yourself a favor and skim through your lecture notes before class every single day. Even just a quick look gives you enough context to actually open your mouth during class discussions, which is the easiest way to get noticed by your professors. You have to be proactive here; nobody is going to hand you anything. You’re expected to take the initiative, drive your own job applications, network like crazy, and hunt down opportunities yourself. Moving here was honestly a pretty smooth transition for me. The only real hurdle at first was just getting used to all the different accents, but you adapt to that pretty quickly. People in the UK are generally super polite, helpful, and respectful, which makes settling in a lot easier. I didn't get a scholarship myself, but I knew a few people who managed to land one or two. My biggest tip is to jump onto the official Manchester website early and filter your search specifically by your course, nationality, and department. The criteria change constantly, so you want to check early and get your application in before the deadline closes. Overall, I’m really happy with my choice. Manchester has a massive international student crowd, and since there are so many Indian students around, you never feel completely isolated or out of place.
Likes (Indian Food): One of the best things about living in Manchester is that you are completely spoiled for choice when it comes to Indian food. Honestly, finding familiar groceries, snacks, vegetables, and household stuff is incredibly easy here, which makes settling into life abroad so much smoother for Indian students. The city—and honestly the whole UK—is packed with Indian restaurants and outlets. If you are craving proper Indian street food, Chit 'n' Chaat is a fantastic spot to grab things like dahi papdi chaat or samosa chaat. When you want a proper sit-down North Indian meal with great vibes and amazing taste, places like Bardez and Dishoom are definitely the go-to options. For your daily cooking you can easily hunt down staples like Maggi, Kurkure, Haldiram snacks, proper spices and even veggies like brinjal and bottle gourd at local convenience stores like Worldwide or Asian Superstore. The only real catch is that eating out or ordering takeaway all the time will absolutely destroy your budget. From my experience, a single restaurant meal can easily run you around £25 per person. Because of that, I heavily prefer cooking my own food at home—it’s just way more affordable at the end of the day.
Dislikes (Value for money): Studying at the University of Manchester definitely gave me that international exposure I was looking for, but if I’m being completely honest, the massive price tag didn’t match what we actually got. My Master’s fees alone were £28,000—which works out to well over 33 lakhs in INR once you convert it. That is a massive chunk of money to drop on a degree. While the modules and subjects were definitely useful, it was pretty frustrating to realize that a huge portion of the material is stuff you can literally watch for free on open-source platforms like YouTube or NPTEL. Even the case studies and textbooks they used felt exactly like the ones my friends were studying back home at the IITs and IIMs. Looking at it strictly from a classroom perspective, the academic value just didn’t justify that crazy high tuition fee. For me, the real saving grace of the program was just the experience of being abroad. Getting to learn from international professors, collaborating with classmates from all over the world, and navigating a completely new culture was definitely life-changing. But when it came to landing a job, the career support was a massive reality shock. Coming from India, you expect a proper placement cell where companies actually come to campus, host rounds, and hand out job offers. Manchester doesn't work like that at all. Their career hub basically just tells you to go out there, network, and hunt down opportunities entirely on your own.

If you are seeing this review, this is your sign to go for it
Tips: One thing I really want you to focus on. Is it that there are going to be times when you feel that you do not belong there because you miss your family? You miss your culture. You miss your festivals, and that was mostly around Diwali time with me. Although there is a dedicated Indian society of Manchester, all the festivals are celebrated, and you will feel at home, but then looking at your parents missing your sibling is going to cause a little trouble, but you do not have to worry about it. We get enough of a vacation break when you can travel back. You can avail yourself of scholarships, and after you get your offer letter, the university team automatically sends your mail, where you have 2 to 3 options from which you can choose. In my automatic scholarship of £2000 for the first year, if you meet a set of conditions, which are not very hard to meet, you get a £7000 scholarship every year. You have to keep in mind that the weather is not going to be very pleasant, especially for inventors. It's going to be very rainy, very windy, and very cold. You do not have to bring your clothes from India. The UK is the best place to buy your winter clothes from; consider Primark, please. First year, I wasn't ready I was homesick because I had so much to explore and so much to look forward to: going to college every day, same places, meeting people. I did not get the time to feel very lonely or away from home, but then second year hit my way. You already know how things are supposed to be done. You know where your colleges are; you know people; you've MET them, so you tend to miss your family a little, but that's part of life, but this time at college at your university is going to be the best time you could have ever had in your life.
Likes (Safety): If I had the option, I would give my university and UK 10 instead of five. There is campus safety where cars are all over around the campus and the city to SEE if something is wrong and to ensure the safety of the students. At the campus, security takes around all over The campus buildings are also really safe, and if safety in general is not talked about and safety is gone into by considering emotional safety and mental safety, then no one can top the University of Manchester. They make such a big deal just for taking care of whether you are okay or not. If you miss some lectures, they're always there to figure out if there is any problem that you're facing because of it and you're not able to attend those lectures. You have your academic advisory to guide you all through your journey. The University of Manchester and Manchester overall are very safe.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Honestly, there is so much that is offered on the late, but why did I give it a four? It is just because of the fact that there is too much competition and the job market in the UK is just not ready for it. If you want to get a job there, you have to work really hard and apply to like 200 applications to get into one of them. There are so many options; the rules and the salary packages are generally really nice, with a minimum of like £25,000 per annum after you graduate The one mark I cut is just because the quantity of graduates applying is much less than the number of jobs that are offered. The job market in the UK is slow as for now, but it is something that has been worked upon.

Great research opportunities and a student-supportive experience
Tips: Before you sign up, you need to know that while the University of Manchester gives you insane academic and research opportunities, they fully expect you to handle independent learning without any hand-holding. If you can’t manage your own time, you will drown. Moving over here from India was a massive shock to the system at first—especially trying to get used to the miserable gray weather and a completely different lifestyle—but I managed to find my feet pretty quickly. Honestly, since I’m on a fully funded program, I’m incredibly happy with Manchester, my course, and life in the UK overall. It’s given me a massive launchpad to grow both personally and professionally, making the entire crazy transition completely worth it.
Likes (Public transportation): I rated it 5 because Manchester has excellent public transport and the university is very well connected to the rest of the city. Buses, trams, and trains are easily available, and I have never felt the need for a car. It's affordable and reliable and makes computing on campus and to other places convenient.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I gave it a 3 because there are good job opportunities, but finding a role with visa sponsorship can be difficult for international students. Some companies sponsor visas, especially in engineering, research, and pharmacy, but the competition is quite high.

Calm through the chaos- Navigating university life strategically.
Tips: Look, here’s the real deal. First off, get ready for an insane amount of self-study. Nobody is going to force you to go to class, and the independent reading is heavy. Also, force yourself to talk to people. Classes are scattered all over different buildings, meaning you see new faces constantly—don't freeze up, just use it to network. As for societies? Don't just blindly join a million things. Be smart about what actually aligns with your goals. You're definitely going to hit some serious culture shock too, but don't lose who you are just trying to fit in. Adapt, sure, but keep your core intact.
Likes (Public transportation): Since Manchester has 3 big universities and a huge student population, the public transportation system is quite smooth running. In fact, most locals/non-students also use the bus and tram as their primary mode of travel. Apart from the once-in-a-while tram strike, you can get to universities and other parts of the city quite easily, and it is not as expensive—less than 2 pounds for a one-way bus ride and even less for the tram. I would recommend getting a student pass, as it makes things even more cost-effective.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent settlement post-education as an international student means you need a sponsored job. At the moment finding a job that has visa sponsorship is an issue, but luckily there is the 2-year paid post-study work visa that you can take to try and get employment. It is, however, quite a task to apply for hundreds of jobs and can take a toll on mental health, but that is up to the individual student if it is worth the struggle. In my case I didn't want to stay there long-term, so I found other ways to progress my career outside the UK

Studying abroad- University of Manchester journey.
Tips: Look, moving from India to Manchester was honestly just a massive jump—it was exciting, sure, but also way more overwhelming at first than I'd planned for. Between trying to survive the freezing weather and just figuring out a totally different uni system, those first few weeks were honestly just a bit of a blur. You really have to be ready to put yourself out there and just start looking for any volunteering or part-time gigs you can find to get some experience. Since I didn’t have any scholarships or anything like that to fall back on, I basically had to be proactive from day one. It’s a lot to take in, especially with the food and the social side of things being so different, but you just have to dive in and figure it out as you go. It’s just a lot.
Likes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking myself. I got all the ingredients options near by the University campus. It is very accessible and easy to shop for Indian groceries. There are many south Asian cafes, restaurants and shops in the campus near Curry mile Road. The pricing is okay.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Look, with the way the rules for staying here just keep on changing all the time lately, you really have to stop and think about what you actually want before you even look at the long haul. Honestly, I’m not really leaning toward the UK for PR or anything anyway. Given my background and everything, I’m pretty sure I’d have a decent chance at getting it if I actually wanted to—it’s just not where my head is at right now. I guess you just have to figure out what really matters to you before jumping into any massive life decisions like that. It’s just a lot to weigh up.

You won't learn significantly more than you did during your bachelor's degree in India.
Tips: I got bicentary global futures scholarship, the allowance is 8000 pounds. I am not satisfied with the course, country and university; they don't consider the difficulties that international students face. I believe education in India is far better than in the UK.
Likes (Public transportation): It is connected very nicely; there are trams and buses. It's expensive if you compare it to India. The prices increase every year. It's convenient to walk and then take the bus. If you travel in larger groups, take a cab, and you can split the same amount. The bus fare is 2 pounds one way.

Strong faculty, academically inclined, but poor career support.
Tips: Manchester + Uom genuinely changed me. I'd lived abroad in Sweden before, so moving countries wasn't new, but Manchester hits different. Manchester feels different, cloudy, social, and full of character. Living here has made me more patient and open-minded just by living in such a diverse place. It is also super safe compared to India, and that safety unlocks a new kind of confidence; you start feeling like the world is your playground. I become more independent, more secure in my own style, and more me. Day-to-day is very "Oxford Road main arc" where life circles lectures, library, coffee runs, and constantly running into people because the whole stretch is basically student central. When I am not in lectures, I am mostly hiking around speak district, people watching around NQ, or on my way to inhale food on Curry Mile. And the rain is super annoying at first, but as you go through the seasons, you go from gloomy to romanticising the rain, where later on you huddle up and imagine yourself as an indie movie character. Academically, the University of Manchester is strong. For data Science, a lot of teaching staff are from other departments, so they are genuinely experts in their fields. All the professors are warm and welcoming in general. I would suggest the university for students who want to pursue further studies. A lot of students secured partial and full ride schlorhsip, especially within the school of engineering and AMBS. Overall, being in university is strong academically, but there is not much support career wise 70% of the class always move back home, and the rest struggle due to international passports and strict government regulations. Even though I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here, I think it is a better option to apply in the EU or Australia.
Dislikes (Internships): The University of Manchester has a dedicated careers centre but the support feels more like it only exists in theory. The practical support available for postgrad students seeking internships is limited in effectiveness. The opportunities are mostly available to students who already carry relevant work experience (2+ years) in their home country or are British passport holders. Many capable fresh college graduates struggle to secure a job despite making active efforts. There are no readily available internships; the university does have some programs in different schools, such as engineering or medicine but again these resources are mostly centred around undergrad students.

The city is well connected.
Tips: The culture is a bit different but one can easily adapt to it. I did not avail any scholarship for this course. It's a self learning course, the professors help with the work but the majority of the work is expected to be done by the student. This is a bit different from the learning structure in India.
Likes (Public transportation): The city is well connected. Bus is the cheapest mode of transportation 5-6 for an entire day. There are many reliable alternatives as well, in case of schedule changes due to weather, strike, etc. The transport system is very efficient for students.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Current changes in government might influence the route to ILR. Once someone lands a sponsorship, the route to ILR is quite straightforward. Would recommend students to have a look at the roles that are currently in demand before picking their course/specialisation.

Great experiences, vibrant city and a good student culture.
Tips: For my particular course which was the MBA, it is vital to have solid work experience. This is important for doing well in the course and for getting a job later. -There are many cultural differences as compared to India, but a student will experience them only when they arrive here. You need to be more outgoing as compared to India, be able to hold conversations with a barista of a coffee shop as well as a director in a company. Manchester is very diverse and is a wonderful city for students, very vibrant, very happening and not as expensive. I was awarded a scholarship of 7000 GBP based on my work experience and GMAT score. I was awarded this by the university and did not apply for it separately. Very satisfied with everything, I believe this is the best value for money MBA among the top business schools in the UK.
Likes (Safety): Manchester is a safe town, in general UK is quite safe. I have been around the city at 3 AM too and never felt unsafe. There are probably one or two streets where I would not venture out alone at night but for the most part it is safe. I have never had any bad incidents. The most popular crime that takes place is phone snatching, but there is a very easy solution to this, which is not to use your phones while walking on the street.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Various global cuisines are available in Manchester which is the most vibrant city in the UK outside of London. Indian food options are quite limited/average compared to other UK cities. I usually prefer cooking myself but occasionally eat out too.

Excellent and friendly university.
Tips: The University of Manchester is excellent. It is filled with people who are there to help you, and you have the freedom to explore your hobbies. I adjusted quite well with everyone and did not experience much cultural shift. I received an academic scholarship worth 7,000. If you are eligible, the university takes you into consideration without having to apply. I am quite satisfied with the university and the country. However, I would have liked it if the course had been paced more effectively and we had been taught more relevant material.
Likes (Indian Food): It is a cultural hub and you can find any cuisine quite easily. Especially in Manchester there is a street called Curry Mile which has shops from India, Pakistan and even Middle Eastern countries. The pricing varies from shop to shop. I prefer cooking my food because it allows me to put as much spice in the food as I want.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I'm not sure how many companies offer sponsored visas, but there are quite a few. Sponsorship is not based on the role; however, roles in AI and data Science see more sponsorship. For a sponsored role, your salary should be above 32,000 GBP while junior roles tend to start from 24,000-26,000 GBP.

M.Sc Pharmaceutical Sciences - Batch of 2024
Offered by University of Greenwich

Practical pharma degree with London exposure
Tips: Before joining the University of Greenwich for an M.Sc. in Pharmaceutical Science, know that London is expensive. Tuition is around 18,700 pounds, and living costs add up fast. Also, long-term visa sponsorship is competitive, so use the 2-year Graduate Route wisely. The transition was culturally smooth because London is so diverse. The biggest shift was independent learning and budgeting on my own. I availed myself of the International Scholarship Award. It gave a up to 3,000-pound tuition discount after I accepted my offer, with no monthly allowance. Overall I'm satisfied. University and course: 4/5 for labs and industry link. Country: 4/5 for opportunities, but high cost and visa rules are the main challenges.
Likes (Indian Food): I rated food options from my country of origin a 5 because London makes it really easy to find familiar food. Around Greenwich and nearby areas you get lots of Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Turkish, African, and Caribbean restaurants. A curry or biryani is about 12 to 18 pounds, shawarma and kebabs are 8 to 12 pounds, and African/Caribbean plates are 10 to 16 pounds. There are also Asian grocery stores for spices and basics. I prefer cooking at home most days because it's cheaper and tastes like home but I do eat out 2 to 3 times a week when I'm busy. Eating out is convenient; cooking saves money.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I gave it a 1 because the job situation after graduation is much tougher than expected, especially for international students. The positive side is that you get the UK Graduate Route visa for 2 years after your M.Sc. That means you don't need a sponsor right away. You can work in labs, QA, research assistant roles, or even outside pharma just to build experience and income. The challenge comes after those 2 years. To stay longer, you need a skilled worker visa, and that requires a job offer of at least 38,700 pounds per year from a licensed sponsor. Most entry-level pharmaceutical roles in the UK start between 28,000 and 33,000 pounds, so they don't qualify. Also, many companies simply list no visa sponsorship. Companies that do sponsor are mostly the big ones: GSK, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Sanofi, NHS, IQVIA, and Labcorp. Beyond that, sponsorship is mostly for shortage roles or experienced hires. Typical roles for M.Sc. grades are quality assurance, analytical scientist, regulatory affairs, R&D, formulation, and clinical trials support. Salaries usually start around 28k-33k in London, then rise to 35k-45k with 2-3 years of experience. Greenwich data shows graduates earn about 27k after 15 months and 29k after 3 years. So the course and London location are great, but if your goal is long-term sponsored work, start targeting shortage-list pharma roles early.

A great learning experience at the university of Greenwich
Tips: The University of Greenwich is very diverse, and you all will meet students from all over the world. The transition was smooth overall; at first I had to adjust to the teaching style, but since London is very multicultural, I felt welcome and adapted quickly. I did receive a scholarship of 3000 pounds, and I am very satisfied with my experience. Living in the UK, especially in London, gave me international exposure, helped me grow personally and professionally, and allowed me to meet people from different cultures.
Likes (Internships): I gave internships a top score because studying at Greenwich puts you at a huge advantage when it comes to landing industry experience. My placements were directly tied to my course material, so instead of just doing busywork, I was actually applying what we learned in lectures to real projects alongside working professionals. The university’s Employability Hub was a massive help with polishing CVs and setting up interviews, but the real benefit is simply the location—being right next to Canary Wharf and central London opens up endless placement and internship opportunities across tech, finance, and creative industries. The connections I built during my internship didn't just boost my practical skills; they gave me a solid professional network in London before I even graduated.
Dislikes (Safety): I gave safety a lower rating not because Greenwich feels constantly dangerous, but because phone snatching and opportunistic theft around here are genuinely out of hand. Right outside campus around Cutty Sark, the DLR station, and Greenwich Market, phone snatchers on e-bikes and mopeds are constantly looking for students texting while walking. It’s super common to see someone get their phone ripped right out of their hand in broad daylight if they're not paying attention. While the campus grounds themselves feel reasonably secure with campus security around, walking back to student accommodation or taking the bus late at night means you have to keep your head on a swivel. Greenwich is a great area overall, but between phone thieves, pickpockets in crowded tourist spots, and the general roughness of certain spots in South East London after dark, you really can't let your guard down.

University of Greenwich- ideal place to have fun while studying only if you’ll do your research
Tips: The rank of the uni according to the course that you’ve applied for. And you can do research by connecting with alumni’s on LinkedIn. There was no cultural shift, as in London as well. I used to experience Indian culture. No scholarship for me. The course was pretty good; I don’t know how it is now considering the whole world relies upon ai, so if the course has some subjects related to ai, then the uni is definitely recommended
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation was very good; buses and trains were easily available across the city. Buses, as well as trains, were well connected with the campus. Everything is affordable over there if you’re earning in pounds (GBP). If you’re not, then it won’t look affordable to you.
Dislikes (Internships): The internships that were being offered by the university in job fairs were from companies in the hospitality industry. For example, if there were 10 companies in the job fair, out of those 10, 8 were of hospitality. Which completely makes no sense. Since you are doing an MBA or MA, you should be offered a job or internship in an office job, like a non-hospitality company. But the uni itself were offering us to work with hospitality companies

Great university, rooted to its heritage and values.
Tips: They should be aware of the course they are selecting, because they have two campuses, one in Greenwich, London, and the other in Maritime Kent. And most probably science-based courses are in Kent, also they have a campus in Avery Hill. Nevertheless, they have a good facility of an inter-campus bus where you just need to book tickets online from their portal and you are good to go.
Likes (Public transportation): Generally good public transport, but hard to reach in the sticks, which can last for days. It can be hard to travel, but there's an alternative option of bus, but generally it takes much more time to reach the university, depending on where you stay. If you stay near the University, you can just walk there.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Hard to settle and get a job after studies and the visa process is hard compared to other countries but friendly people. I never faced any racism. Moreover if students come with a mindset to just settle, it's a good place. London, being one of the major cities in the world is obviously a fast-moving city but they'll learn plenty of things.

Tips: Gradually, there was a transition from cultural to academic. In the beginning, it might challenge you, but taking it positively and not personally made me stronger and helped me understand the foreign culture. It also helped me to make some good friends and colleagues. I did not avail any scholarship. Very satisfied with my University, course and country, of course.
Likes (Student Life): I used to spend time attending lectures, seminars and workshops in my college days. What I liked most was following my hobby along with this. A lot of events are organised throughout the academic year, such as cultural festivals, parties, meetups, and more. Mainly, I used to indulge in sports activities, such as football.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Considering the strict UK Immigration policies for graduating students, in my opinion, I found it to be challenging for students. The supply and demand of graduates has been inflating the job market after COVID-19, which makes it less ideal for settling in the UK as a student.

Tips: You have to find your own placement. The career support team will be a good guide in the journey, but the responsibility is upon you to find a part-time job or a full-time job. For my course there was no scholarship, and overall my experience with the university was satisfactory.
Likes (Student Life): The student life is amazing and full of activivites wheather it is about your course needs or afteruniversity activvities at the university. The uni has a inhouse pub, best for hangout. There are also a lot of clubs to choose from, also youcan cretae your own club and participate in various events happening all year round at RivFitz.
Dislikes (Safety): A lot of burglaries are reported in the area where I live. Petty crimes like burglaries of phones and wallets are very common, and being an international student, it becomes very difficult if your phone or wallet gets stolen. Another reason is that drugs like weed are very easily available, which makes the international students a bit more exposed to drug abuse for some.

Liberal, peaceful and average university.
Tips: I think I have not transitioned in any way after coming to the UK, nor is there any cultural shift. I've lived with Indians all the time, and in all aspects, I didn't feel any change from living in India. At the university, there's no drastic cultural difference because there are more international students, and everyone is coexisting. I didn't get any scholarships for my studies. I spent my days in college either in labs or libraries. I enjoyed the stress-free and peaceful campus the most. The student centre is very active and always helpful. There were many seminars, job orientation, and personal development classes arranged by the university, and we were able to register and participate online. I joined both the online and offline classes.
Dislikes (Value for money): Tuition for my program at the University of Greenwich was worth it compared to tuition at other schools with a similar ranking. I think the Greenwich course had better value, yet the cost was nearly the same. Plus, the course is in demand right now, so it was worth every penny.

Don't take the city for granted, as it may distract you from your goals. London is a very overwhelming city, so go one day at a time.
Likes (Indian Food): The best part of studying in London is its rich diversity of food options, from Indian to continental and other food options. Most of the Indian dishes and food items are available in every second store. So, that was definitely one of the reasons to choose London as a place to study.
Dislikes (Internships): The University of Greenwich is located in the heart of London and it prepares its students for the outside world via its extremely well-put curriculum and academia.

The University is excellent and studies is far better as compared to other Universities
Tips: If you stay near the campus then it is very good because then you can make friends, you can easily access the library (the library of Greenwich is excellent) and the area is also good. If you are enrolling into this course, then please focus on studies and come with basic IT knowledge because this is a Masters course, and professors do not teach basics. Professors are very friendly. If you have any doubt then they will surely help you to sort them out. London city is also very good. Come prepared with expenses. Here, everything is expensive. In London, you can get students' discount almost everywhere. Just search before you go and then purchase. For travelling, you can get Oyster card on discount. You can get discounts on electronics, clothing, footwear, etc.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport is very dependable here in London. Lots of people use public transport because it has quick service and options. Here, lots of underground lines and bus services are available from morning 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. In my opinion, public transport services are very good.
Dislikes (Value for money): I have rated this low because if you do other courses that offer guaranteed jobs then I think those courses are better as compared to this course. At least you will know that your job is secured. Also, once you enter in the Cyber Security industry, you can change the job after some experience and you can also get some professional experience.

Decent experience and adventurous.
Tips: Honestly, just don't be afraid to throw yourself into stuff that feels a bit random or totally outside your usual bubble. Like, for me, the team projects were actually the biggest deal—not even for the grades, but just to find your own crowd and actually feel like you belong. Definitely try and get into those competitions too, mostly just to see where you’re at and get some real, blunt feedback from people who actually know what they’re talking about. And seriously, don’t ignore the networking side of things. Just chat with people whenever you can, because honestly, so many jobs or cool opportunities just pop up from some random conversation you weren't even expecting to have.
Likes (Indian Food): I went with a 4 because honestly, London is just stacked with Indian food, whether you’re looking for a cheap canteen vibe or something a lot fancier. It’s actually pretty easy to find a spot that hits the right taste without breaking the bank. You’ve got these canteen-style places where you can grab a solid meal for like £8 or £12, but then you also have nicer casual spots where mains are usually closer to £15 or £20. If you really want to go all out, the fine-dining places can easily set you back £50 or more. To be honest, I usually just stick to cooking at home during the week to save some cash, but I live for the weekends when I can finally get out and hunt for some random regional dish or a new style of Indian cooking I haven't tried yet.
Dislikes (Value for money): I only gave it a 2 for value for money because the fees are honestly way too high for what you actually get. You aren't getting nearly enough time with the teachers or enough hands-on experience to make that price tag feel worth it. While the degree itself is fine, the whole learning side of things and the lack of resources just don't add up for the amount we're paying. To actually make it worth the money, they really need to give us a busier schedule, way better career help, and just better facilities overall.

“Strong Digital Marketing Course with Great Career Exposure in London”
Tips: If you're looking at Greenwich, just a heads up that you really have to get used to doing your own thing—the UK system is big on independent study, so you’ve got to be on it with your time management. Coming from abroad, it’s definitely a bit of a shift, but the vibe here is super welcoming and inclusive, so it’s actually not that hard to find your feet. I didn't actually get a scholarship myself, but they do point you toward a few merit-based or international ones when you're applying. Honestly, I’m really happy with the uni and my Digital Marketing course. Being in the UK has given me a massive confidence boost and the career side of things looks pretty solid. It’s definitely worth it for the exposure you get.
Likes (Internships): I gave internships a 5 because the uni really goes all out with their resources. The careers team is constantly sharing new openings and they run workshops for your CV and LinkedIn, which were a huge help. They even do mock interviews to get you ready. Most of the roles you see are in digital marketing—everything from social media and SEO to content and data analytics. Since the campus is right in London, you’re basically in the middle of all these big companies and startups. It makes it so much easier to find an internship that actually gives you real-world experience in your field.
Dislikes (Student Life): I went with a 4 for student life because it’s honestly been a great experience, but you definitely get out what you put in. My typical day is a bit of a juggle—usually bouncing between lectures, the library to grind through assignments, and then catching up with friends on campus. My favorite part is easily the campus itself; the historic buildings and all that open space make it a really nice spot to just de-stress. There’s always something happening, like cultural festivals or career workshops. I try to hit the networking and employability events whenever I can, though I’ll be real—the workload sometimes makes it hard to show up to everything. There are also a ton of clubs, from business societies to international groups, which are great for meeting people who are actually into the same stuff as you. It’s a very inclusive vibe, and if you take the initiative to get involved, you’ll have a solid time here.

Tips: It has been a great experience. The university offers a scholarship of 3,500 to all international students. I am 100% satisfied with the university and the course I have selected; it has a great course structure.
Likes (Value for money): The tuition fees are very low, and this university is affordable compared to others. It is also well-reputed. The tuition fee is justified for my course due to the quality of education and the maximum support they provide.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): They have made the process much more difficult now, making permanent relocation or immigration very challenging. The chances of permanent settlement are around 40%, which makes me consider staying here for longer than a year. I would love to live here permanently.

Great university, friendly faculty but it can depend on your course.
Tips: The University of Greenwich is good for management courses. The environment is good, and you might be able to get a scholarship. However, you need to be regular in attendance and stay connected to the university. It can be a bit stressful, and if you have the opportunity to study elsewhere, you might want to take it, as life in the UK can be stressful.
Likes (Safety): The university provides additional safety services, such as campus escorts during late hours and 24/7 emergency assistance. Security cameras are all across the campus, making students living and studying there feel safe and comfortable.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is cooperative, which is good. However, as a science student, I needed practical experience rather than just reading the slides. You have to be very active, as that is how you can pass. Give your assignments on time. Be confident in your presentation. Be prepared for your written exams and dissertation.
