it was a nice university as long as you have a job lined up or have prior experience from abroad
Tips: Please keep in mind the constant visa changes that the govt gets and be ready for anything. The Australian government is very indecisive, and they use international students to balance their economy. When the economy goes down, they increase intake, and vice versa. We are only a transaction for the govt, nothing else.
Likes (Indian Food): You have multiple stores from the same cuisine, so there is so much variety across cuisines. The quantity is very filling. Clayton is one of the most vibrant places to stay, and as it has a lot of international students, there's always a lot of variety and options to try. It's better to cook if you want to save money
Dislikes (Post study jobs): You don't get any jobs in your field at all. Almost all my classmates and juniors are unemployed because no one is hiring. You can only get a job if you have contacts in that field, and without a network, you would not get anything at all, literally nothing.

Monash uni has a place for everyone
Tips: There is a club/society for everyone. Get involved, talk to everyone, iniate plans outside uni and the transition to uni becomes much easier. I do not currently have any scholarships, but recieve loans from the goverment as I am a domestic student. Overall im very satisfied with my uni experience.
Likes (Part time work): on campus many of my friends work in student services and make a similar amount to me. off campus its very common for students to have part time jobs. I currently work at a technology store and am able to balance it well with full time university. Average payout is 800 aud fortnightly
Dislikes (Indian Food): there are not many bangladeshi restuarants nearby and i prefer cooking my own meals loacally there is lots of east asian food and a wide variety of other food such as mexican, sushi, pizza, middle eastern. the pricing ranges 13-20 for most meals and drinks are usually 5-10aud

Life in Uni and the expectations.
Tips: Students should have a brief idea about the courses, like what they are pursuing, how it will benefit them in the future, and what the outcome of it will be. I have become more independent, which is great. Nope, no scholarships; I am alright with my university. It's good!
Likes (Internships): I am currently interning, which is great. I am learning new things every day. In the beginning it was tiresome; now I have got the hang of it, and I enjoy working, to be honest. It's more fun to be involved in the industry and gain hands-on experience rather than theory.
Dislikes (Value for money): I feel it's too much for me personally; I guess the conversion rate also plays an important role. But I feel the course could have been more elaborated rather than the way it is at the moment. Other than that, they should have a clear division for industry and research, I feel.

International student friendly but not worth the money
Tips: Pick your course accordingly on the basis of your liking and take thorough knowledge of what your expectations are and what their course map says because different universities offer the same course in different ways. If you plan on staying in Australia, choose your course according to that.
Likes (Student Life): You learn how to be independent and enjoy the amenities your university provides; there are a lot of events happening all over the university with different kinds of interest bases where everybody can enjoy themselves. Different cultures are also celebrated with full immersion.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There is not an abundance of jobs for data analytics in Australia. A university doesn't help you with it, and there are no placement portals. It is difficult to find companies sponsoring, and also the graduate course application takes so long for the next stage to happen.

Limited opportunities for freshers.
Tips: After getting your admission, start looking for houses online, join online communities related to your university, and ask all sorts of questions there. Be mentally prepared for the workload, which is quite high, and if not done on time, you can fall behind, resulting in unnecessary stress.
Likes (Student Life): Monash has honestly ticked pretty much every box for me when it comes to campus life. Like, whether you're looking at the sports setups, clubs, networking, or trying to find internships, they have it covered. The actual facilities here are incredible which honestly forces you to stay active since there’s always something going on. You've got the varsity setups under Team Monash, casual social leagues, plus all the regular student clubs—there are just a ton of options. Honestly, Clayton campus is basically its own mini-city, so you're always bumping into new people and building a network just by hanging out at the lounges or the Monash Sport complex. It gives you a really solid balance between grinding on your degree and actually having a life outside of classes.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Not many companies sponsor your visa, unless you are exceptional. Just like any other foreign country, it's always hard to get jobs, as it's super competitive. Usually, you will always be offered entry-level packages and titles unless you have prior experience.

Modern and professional university.
Tips: The cost of living in Melbourne is something students need to know before coming to Australia. It should also reference the importance of their course and how it could benefit them. Have a proper planning of what you will do. If you look only at the Australian job market, make sure it does not have limited opportunities.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is amazing. Many events for students in the university. Melbourne as a city is beautiful and lively. Students can be part of various clubs and student associations. For example, the Monash Student Association and Monash Graduate Association.
Dislikes (Internships): Internship opportunities in Australia are not a lot. Very limited options. Monash University does help in providing an internship but it's not guaranteed. Not all students get internships. Moreover, it's not easy to find an external internship.

A good university with good facilities.
Tips: The transition to university life was smooth; however, post-graduation options are limited. Australian universities are not like Indian universities, so make sure you have the mindset when enrolling. Make sure to attend orientation. This helped me a lot.
Likes (Indian Food): The food options here are great to be honest. There are many Indian hotels and restaurants too where you can have food but you can't get that Indian taste. The prices are not very affordable. Despite being a non-vegetarian country, there are many places for vegetarian people too. Well I mostly prefer to cook myself because it's cheap and also it's not healthy to eat outside daily.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): There are a few courses that give better chances of getting a PR in Australia. The remaining courses don't have that great a chance. The course I did doesn't have a great chance of getting a PR. Nevertheless if I get a proper career pathway to get PR, I'll be choosing that.

Studying in Monash seems hard but not impossible.
Tips: Adapting to the cultural difference was easy as I made connections with the Indian community as an international student. If you make connections with your community (there is a lot of the Indian Community), there would not be much of a difference between the culture in India and in Australia. And students do get scholarships based on their previous scores in 10th, 12th and PG studies, which can be availed during the time of admission. All in all, for me, the course did provide me with the necessary skillset I need to enter the workforce.
Likes (Safety): Monash Uni takes safety as a priority as there is on campus police who will always be on the lookout for students well being, and Monash also offers on call security where you can call the campus security if the student is in distress. Apart from campus security, the city police also offers great help when needed. In my experience, I have hardly faced any racism or unfriendly behaviour by the people of Victoria. I believe the university and the city as a whole are a safe place to live.
Dislikes (Internships): My course does not have an internship as a part of the curriculum. It is solely based on how good you are at finding an internship. Internships are often posted on job platforms and you as a Uni student need to find a suitable internship in your field of study.

Highly competitive and limited opportunities.
Tips: Undeniably, there is a bit of a cultural shock felt at first in terms of how people interact and socialise over here understanding different accents and settling in at your first job/university. Talking to a lot of different people from diverse cultures and backgrounds greatly helps. This place will force you to come out of your comfort zone as you'll have to make an effort to get anything done. I was not offered any scholarship as there is None available for students in our course however Monash does offer a grant to international students in some cases which is limited.
Likes (Safety): Apart from the campus security, the area is highly under surveillance by the Victorian State police through security personnel and cameras. There are also a few applications available on mobile where international students can report any problems they might have faced. I haven't personally had any bad experiences yet but it is generally advised to avoid any contact with junkies in public areas as they can be really unpredictable and can cause harm.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time jobs available on campus are limited and highly competitive requiring some prior work experience in the role. Most students will be better off finding jobs outside of the university related to their fields of study which takes a few months and lots of patience. Given that you provide your availability to your employers in advance, they can be really flexible in terms of assigning you shifts which makes working part-time with the university really manageable along with all the associated expenses. When starting out most-part times can't expect to make anything over the minimum legal wage as there is a huge influx of job seekers who are mostly international students.

Getting a full time job is very challenging.
Tips: The only thing I would say is, getting a full time job is very challenging here in Australia. They don’t even post jobs properly and only referrals work. And they have an excuse to not hire international students, which is “Australian work experience”; if you don’t have it, you will struggle to find a job. Also recently, there have been several attacks on Indian students for no reason. So, it's not very safe either.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation here in Australia is good. Buses and trains are available and run frequently. So travelling won't be an issue. For buses, you might have to pay AUD 3 for each trip. For trains, in a similar range. So, it's not extremely expensive but not very cheap either.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): What I know is last 2 years have been incredibly bad for graduates in Australia in general, regardless of university. There is also no great support from the university. Although this can be said for the majority of the countries. But in Australia, it is very tough to get a full time job as an international student.

Pretty chill and lovely environment.
Tips: The transition took some time. The people in Australia are pretty casual. Some might come off as rude by being slightly mean to you/making fun of you but it's with good intentions. That's how everyone is. They talk good behind your back, though. I didn't get a scholarship as it wasn't available for anyone in my course at Monash. I'm pretty satisfied here with the university, my course and Australia.
Likes (Part time work): There are lots of jobs got students to do. I work at Woolworths and the pay is really well. There are jobs on campus but it's hard to get. Part time and studies are a little hard to manage, depending on the job you do. But perseverance is key to managing both. Average pay is around 26 an hour.
Dislikes (Public transportation): It's not the best as the frequency and schedule are sometimes bad. There is good connectivity, though. Wish there were more buses and trains that connect to more locations. The rates are sometimes expensive as well as the minimum rate is around 3 for buses and 5.5 for trains.

Good faculty and opportunities.
Tips: Jumping straight in after finishing my bachelor's was difficult but if you come with some industry experience it might help. I got a 25% scholarship due to my academic proficiency in my bachelor's. If you are an academically inclined person and want some fun along the way this is the best place.
Likes (Part time work): Lots of well paying opportunities in and around the campus. From technical part time roles to public facing roles, you'll find everything. When selecting subjects to study in a semester, you can easily select the slots of lectures that best suit you and align with your work schedule.
Dislikes (Safety): There are often instances of stabbing, armed robberies and racial discrimination against foreign students. Carrying some self-protection gear might help. There was once an instance where one of my friends was asked to empty his pockets and hand over everything at knifepoint.

A truly rewarding and holistic international experience.
Tips: The course is demanding as in it demands time and genuine effort. Especially in units like Statistics and Machine Learning. Those are the toughest units. It is easier if you prepare before each class and start working on the assignments on time. Unlike colleges in India, you need to put in a lot of self studying hours to understand concepts. Your professors and tutors are there to help you with questions and doubts. But at the end of the day it feels good because you know you put in effort and it worked out and you genuinely learned something. I enrolled through IDP so I got a small scholarship of 10000 AUD. Monash as a university is very exciting. There is always some fun event going on which is open for all.
Likes (Indian Food): Clayton is full of Indian and Asian restaurants. You would never miss Indian food. Plus there are numerous options. Even in the city, there are multiple options to try different cuisines. Everything is available. There are numerous Indian stores in Clayton for Indian groceries as well.
Dislikes (Internships): There is some competition as opportunities are less but its still possible to land internships. The university has career services in Monash Connect. You can book appointments and consult with them regarding how to approach the job market. But Monash itself focuses a lot on research, so if you network well, it can lead to internships within the university. Various clubs organise networking events for students and there are private organisations in the city who organise networking events too.

Ambiguous, stressful, but worth it.
Tips: I recommend researching the course structure rather than focusing on university rankings. University rankings don't matter much for job prospects. Apply for international student grants when you apply. Try to stay in contact with professors. There's still a lot to learn online.
Likes (Safety): Highly secure, with numerous services available. There is 24/7 police patrolling, and a police station is located on campus. Emergency contacts are readily available, and cameras are installed throughout. A bus service is provided for students returning late at night, and security checks are conducted in all rooms and buildings.
Dislikes (Internships): For IT department masters, there is no internship support from the university. It's not part of our course requirement, no guidance is provided, and there is no preference for international students. Therefore, it is very difficult for people to secure one.

Tips: Before joining, students should be prepared for being comfortable stepping out of their comfort zones. The people are actually very nice over here and love to have short talks. The cultural shift was noticeable - especially the independence and direct communication - but I adjusted over time. I received a 10,000 AUD partner scholarship, which was directly deducted from my one-year fee. Overall, I'm happy with my course, the university, and the experience here in Australia.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The V line services often experience disruptions, delays and planned works which can be quite inconvenient. On weekends and public holidays the frequency of trains tends to drop leading to long gaps between services. The campus is connected to the city via train and bus.

It is a great college and international exposure is great.
Tips: Monash offers great academics and a diverse campus, but tuition and living costs are high. Adjusting was tough at first due to a new academic style and independent culture, but the diverse, friendly campus made it easier to settle. I did not get any scholarships.
Likes (Indian Food): There are plenty of food options from my country of origin available around the Clayton area. Grocery stores and supermarkets also stock Indian items and ingredients. I often prefer cooking at home, but it's great to have affordable and authentic options when I want to have something great.
Dislikes (Value for money): It is very expensive to study at Monash University, and while the faculty members and teaching are good, I don't think that the extremely high tuition or around AU$ 200,000 is justified. The value does not match the investment as it places a very big burden on student and parents.

A balanced journey, growth, challenges, and opportunities as an international student.
Tips: Student should know that while this college offers a wide range of opportunities both academic and extra curricular requires self initiative, professors and staff are supportive but you need to be protective about attending events seeking, help and building your network time management is key, especially if you're juggling studies with part time work. Also don't expect things to be handed to you. You will get the most out of the experience if you actively participate in what's happening on campus. The transition was challenging at first especially as an international student and there was definitely a cultural shift. People are more individualistic and open in how they communicate. The education system is also different focusing more on independent learning, critical thinking and research based assignments. At the same time, their cultural diversity on campus helps me quickly. I made friends from different countries and which really helped open my mind and help me feel more included. I received the international student merit-based scholarship. The process involves submitting my academic transcript and personal statement during my application. It wasn't a full scholarship, but it offered a partial tuition fee, which was helpful in reducing final pressure.

Good facilities and teaching staff, but somewhat expensive.
Tips: Students should know that it won’t be easy to study at this university. You will be in a new country and a new environment and you’ll have to do a lot of the work on your own so it won’t be easy at first. But once you get used to it you’ll do really well and your life will change. You’ll also learn to be more disciplined, which will help you a lot.
Likes (Safety): There are guards security personnel and cameras that make you feel safe. The staff and people around you are also really good and easy to approach, and we have Monash Connect where we can go and talk about any problems with them whether academic or even personal.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There aren’t enough vegetarian options available especially for the morning 8 am classes. It makes it difficult for people who are vegetarians because it’s difficult to cook their own meals every day. If there were some vegetarian choices I think it would be really helpful.

The tuition is unnecessarily high due of its brand value.
Tips: Though it has a brand value, it doesn't mean that you will get a full-time job. You will get the same preference as any tier-2 college student. It doesn't provide a lot of scholarships, so be ready to pay a huge amount of money. I am personally happy with the brand I am studying in, but somewhere it could have done better.
Likes (Safety): The campus has a very good security. Monash vans help us to reach our destination. The guards will always make sure the student is genuine and will always check id cars. The guards are there 24/7 so there is no need to worry. You can easily sit on-campus anytime and study.
Dislikes (Value for money): I think the university is charging a lot of fees even if it's not required. I guess they are just charging because they have a brand value. The teaching faculty can do much better. Half of the assignments and stuff are understood and done by us. So there is no point in charging so much.

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.

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.
Dislikes (Internships): You just get guidance for resume making, but you have to find and apply by yourself. No relevant internships. They dont take international students at all. You will see that all the Britishers of your class are getting it but not you as an international student.

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.

MSc in Health Psychology - Batch of 2027
Offered by University of Manchester
3.9
The university is good but can do better in terms of administration and student services.
Tips: I was quite confused at the start but the student body is helpful and so are the professors. The university can do better in terms of administration and student services, but other than that, Manchester is a nice and liveable city. Winters are brutal, and things shut down early in the evening. The maximum you can work is 20 hours, so be very careful to maintain that.

BAEcon in Economics - Batch of 2025
Offered by University of Manchester
3.8
The university is good and classes are collaborative and engaging.
Tips: Learn to make your own interpretations, as classes are not based on rote learning or mugging up from the textbooks. The professors are keen to hear your thoughts and opinions out loud, and classes are collaborative as well. Lots of fellow Indians and Indian food places are spread around the city. The city of living is less than London but high nonetheless.
