MSc Biotechnology - Batch of 2025
4
Placements at NUS for Biotechnology are pretty low.
Tips: Moving into any country is initially difficult with a lot of challenges, but with time it gets much better. Specially I was happy to find so many Indian friends in a foreign land. No scholarships for this course. Loved my experience at NUS, with great friends and approachable professors. And Singapore is no doubt one of the most beautiful and safest places.
Likes (Student Life): NUS is beautiful and huge with a lot of things to see around. I personally found a great set of Indian friends during my time there. A lot of clubs, both academic and nonacademic are there. My favourite part about NUS was the student lounge called Pitstop, offering video games, TT, foosball, board games etc.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Placements at NUS specifically for Biotechnology are pretty low. But there are career fairs that keep happening around the year, which is a plus point to build your network and get an understanding of the companies in Singapore. Jobs usually start from around 3500SGD - 4500SGD for freshers.

The professors and peers are quite open and helpful.
Tips: Being in Asia the culture is quite similar. The intake of Indian students has increased exponentially over the past few years. The rental cost will be one of the main expenses. If staying off campus which is becoming more and more common due to limited space in the university, it can cost you 1000-1300 sgd/month easily. The tuition grant can reduce the tuition fee substantially and make it easier to get a job later but it can become a double edged sword if you don't get a job. There are no scholarships as such otherwise for undergraduates from India. The best part about Singapore is that it's very easy to travel back to India as the flights are cheaper and not too long. I personally used to go back 3-4 times every year. There are also a lot of places you can visit in Southeast Asia which are not too expensive either. Do note that the coursework generally tends to be quite heavy and the competition is quite high as well. The last few weeks of the semester and exam times can be quite stressful but generally manageable. The professors and peers are generally quite open and helpful. Do note that at the end of the day the culture is very Asian and everyone is more focused on getting good grades and a job. If you want to explore the entrepreneurial side, then NUS shouldn't be your choice. Interaction with alumni seniors and peers is usually quite limited and will depend on your personal effort. There's a very good chance you will only know the names of a handful of your batch mates by the time you graduate.
Likes (Safety): Singapore is probably the safest place you can be in. I would have given it a six star rating if I could. You can leave anything even in public cafes and nobody would touch anything. There are multiple university helplines too to help with mental wellbeing as well.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Being a small country, they are extremely selective when it comes to PR/Citizenship. Even getting a visa for your job can be very hard as the salary requirements are usually much higher than what a fresh graduate will get. There is a tuition grant option available which discounts your tuition fee if you are ready to work in Singapore for at least 3 years. That can make it easier to get a job later as well. Without that, it is very hard to get a job.

MSc in Finance - Batch of 2025
3.9
Highly academic and competitive.
Tips: Before joining National University of Singapore students should know that it's highly competitive beneath the surface. Most peers were toppers back home. Internships start as early as Year 1 and grades are often bell curve so doing it isn't always enough; you need to be proactive about building your profile through internships, case competitions, networking and leadership roles from the start. The academic rigour is real especially in business, computing and quantitative fields, and the brand carries strong weight across Asia especially in finance and consulting. The ROI depends heavily on how strategically you use the platform. It's international and full of high achievers which can trigger imposter syndrome and Singapore itself is compact so social life requires effort. NUS rewards initiative, planning and resilience far more than passive participation.

Unlearning and relearning.
Tips: I was lucky enough to have made friends and built my community fairly early on. Sure, there were cultural difference but once you're open to learning and allowing yourself to ease your own stereotypical schemas about the world, adjusting becomes a lot easier. I did not avail any scholarship, as there weren't any scholarships available by the school for my course. But there are many other private orgs that offer social sciences scholarships. I wouldn't trade my experience for anything, and look forward to more students having the same experience I did.
Dislikes (Student Life): The faculty at NUS is as diverse as you can imagine. I was lucky to be taught by faculty members with experience across regions USA, Australia, Korea, Singapore, China, industries and teaching modalities. A particular teaching modality that I found value in was our practicums. After our lecture, we were divided into two smaller groups to review case studies, policy documents and mock-simulations. This way we were able to better integrate theoretical knowledge into real-world prescriptions.

Excellent value for money and student friendly.
Tips: The transition was quite easy for me. Singapore felt somewhat familiar. Almost like a hybrid environment. I'm not on scholarship. I'm quite satisfied being here. It is a great country with strong opportunities. Although the outcome still depends on market conditions and a bit of luck.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Quite approachable and super smart faculty. Courses are challenging enough in the mathematics department, and students are incredibly bright. Pushes you to think harder. Faculty is diverse, different colleges eg. College of Humanities, have greater diversity in faculty.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Companies sponsor based on your skill and experience. You have to work quite hard to balance coursework and internship applications and sometimes even internships. Have to work quite hard and hustle with university. The minimum amount to sponsor an Employment Pass is above 6,200/month in financial services. So that should be a good baseline.

Fulfilling experience studying at NUS.
Tips: Scholarships are plenty, you should definitely apply for one. Most of them, though, come with a bond. There are of course some culture difference but you can settle in easily. If you are a vegetarian, food options may be a bit limited. NUS is a good place to be.
Likes (Student Life): Well maintained hostels within campus, a lot of activities, amazing sports facilities, a wide variety of communities and opportunities to build your own society/clubs. The campus has events happening throughout the year from the student life fair to Supernova (a concert).
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): To apply for a PR in Singapore is getting progressively harder. If you really want to ensure that you get one, you will need to prove extremely beneficial to their country and economy. Have a portfolio that reflects what you have done for the country. But given that, it's not impossible.

A great source of opportunity.
Tips: There is a tuition grant which is available for international students which helps you reduce tuition feels upto 50% and contractually work in a Singapore registered company after graduation. Having said that kindly check the Ministry of Education policy and documents before considering this option.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Singapore PR is very tough to get and citizenship is close to impossible; it protects its citizens as a priority and is very tough to apply for citizenship. It is a highly protected country but we have an opportunity for an employment pass which serves as a right to work in Singapore.

Perfect place for focused individuals.
Tips: Very easy and convenient mode of transport. There are buses or metro connections to every part of the city and you can track your journey on Google Maps itself which is very accurate. The cost of public transport is very cheap and the buses and metro journeys is calculated as a sum of the journey and not charged per ride. Getting a job is totally dependent on how well you network. For Indians, it's easy to shift as you can find a lot of Indians living and working here. Very much satisfied with NUS and the alumni connect and opportunities you get as a part of the programme.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The Singapore law isn't easier for a foreign individual to get PR. You can get an employment visa from the employers which allows you to work in Singapore as per the contract. If completed Ph.D. then the chances for you to get PR would be increased as your contribution to the country's research will matter a lot.

The NUS MBA - Batch of 2023

NUS MBA is good if you are open to exploring job opportunities outside of Singapore.
Tips: Come with a clearly defined goal of what you want from the program and dont expect to learn what you want from the program. Network with people a lot to help break into opportunities and dont rely on the college to find you a job. Push yourself to go out and learn new things, participate in case competitions, go on study trips (GIP) and make friends from different cultures.
Likes (Student Life): The college campus provides great infrastructure and offers a good college life right from sports all the way to libraries. There are more than 13 tennis courts, numerous basketball courts, gymnasiums and much more. The library is huge and it offers diverse choices. On top of this there are different options to choose from in terms of residence and you can interact with a diverse cohort.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Tough job market since the government launched COMPAS to award work permits. Due to this, recruiters find it difficult to hire expats. If you have a generic skill it is difficult to get hired. There is a premium on technical skillsets.

Great university and good opportunities.
Tips: There will be some cultural differences when students come to Singapore for the first time. I got the SINGA scholarship by A*STAR for my course which covers my tuition fee and gives me a monthly stipend of 2700SGD per month for two years and which increases to 3300SGD per month for another two years.
Likes (Public transportation): All the places are well connected with metro and buses. The most common are the metro and buses. You can use the same card in both and you can also use your bank cards. The public transportation is affordable as compared to cabs and owning a personal vehicle.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It is difficult to get a PR as it is very competitive and quota based. You can settle here with long term pass as well. If given a chance I would love to permanently immigrate here because of various reasons such as safety, security, clean environment.

A rigorous and international experience at NUS.
Tips: Students should be aware that this programme is academically rigorous and fast-paced, with reading that needs to be completed before each class. Students need to be proactive about networking and internship opportunities, as these are independent of the coursework. The transition was generally smooth. Classes are interactive and students are expected to participate as part of their grades and contribute from their own previous experiences. Personally, I did not avail myself of any scholarships. However the university offers certain merit-based scholarships as seen on their website, but these are competitive and limited in number and dependent on academic performance. I am satisfied with the university and the course due to the strength of the faculty and international exposure, safety, infrastructure and quality of life.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty consists of leading academicians and senior practitioners who are recognised authorities in their respective fields. Faculty members are approachable. Professors are open to discussions beyond class hours respond to emails and actively engage during lectures. The teaching methodology focuses on both theory and practice.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent immigration in Singapore is connected to securing long-term employment. As an international student pursuing an LL.M. at NUS the course itself does not guarantee job placement. The university does not provide a placement process. Given a competitive and saturated job market transitioning from a student visa to a work visa can be uncertain. Having said that, if table employment opportunities are available I would be interested in permanently immigrating to Singapore.

Great place to study with a lot of opportunities.
Tips: It is a fantastic place to study. Just don't expect to find a job easily. Also, you surely need to follow the rules, otherwise you will be in trouble. If you like to study as well as have fun, Singapore, NUS and NTU are most certainly the right places for you.
Likes (Part time work): A lot of opportunities. Can work for about 20 hours a week. Classes are late in the day for post graduation, hence it was easy to manage. I worked on campus as well as outside. The opportunities to be a teaching assistant or tutor were ample. Additional campus and tutoring jobs were common.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Most of the students who studied with me have moved to other countries or have returned home as it has not been very favourable for non-Singapore citizens and permanent residents. However, it is a fantastic city and country. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

A year of growth, grit and global learning; between books, botanical gardens and dreams.
Tips: Half of my batchmates were from China. They are quite smart and a close community. It will take time to get up with them but they are sweet, kind and simple. The country itself is quite silent except for tourist places. The day begins at 6 am & ends at 7 pm for them. However, for law students the classes go from 9 am to 9:30 pm depending on the subjects one opts for. The professors are quite down to earth and will guide you whenever you are stuck. There are numerous networking events in NUS and at various law firms. It is quite interesting to meet fellow lawyers and partners of the firm, especially the alumni. It was a wonderful experience living on your own and managing in a new country.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is too good. One gets flexibility to choose the subjects, interact directly with the professors, spend time in the study room and library, and explore the greenery around the campus. Fortunately, we got the botanical garden campus which was well connected to the main campus. We got to learn in a calm atmosphere with pleasant weather and explore the main campus which had a lot of events, museums, etc. to explore.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Considering the huge legal market and amount of competition, it is quite challenging to secure a full time position in Singapore. Strong networking and convincing skills along with a good resume may help to secure a full time position. After LL.M. one is required to give the FPE exam to practice in Singapore courts. If one wants to work in Singapore without giving the FPE exam, it is better to pursue a JD programme instead of an LL.M.

Quality education without emptying your pockets.
Tips: Be prepared for high quality education with quality students from the rest of Asian. The environment is highly competitive but also conducive to learning. NUS changed my life completely and gave me my best years of learning, growth and friendships.
Likes (Indian Food): There is a food court culture in NUS where every faculty and residence has its own food courts with multiple options including that of Indian food. While pantries are there with each residence, there is hardly a need to cook your own food because food is available cheaply and easily.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Multiple companies across sectors sponsor visas however it is becoming increasingly difficult. Salaries can range from as low as 40,000 annually to 1,20,000, depending on the sector and quality. There is no on-campus placement system here. Jobs are through career fair and offline applications so applicants need to self prepare and self-apply.

Adapting, learning and growing.
Tips: Life changes a lot when moving to Singapore. A degree here at NUS teaches both research and life skills. The school of medicine offers free mentorship and the university offers free therapy sessions which help manage stress. Be ready for cultural diversity and balancing your own roots with a new environment. The first year was challenging, adjusting to Singapore's diverse culture while staying connected to home away. Over time, I adapted and gained a broader perspective on people, life and friendships. I'm on a NUS research scholarship, which covers full tuition and gives a monthly stipend of SGD 2700 before PQE and SGD 3500 after. I first emailed my professor, later applied via the NUS website, submitted a proposal, went through an interview and cleared the GRE. I'm very blessed with NUS, my course and my supportive supervisors, while Singapore offers a satisfactory worklife balance and inclusivity.
Likes (Value for money): My course is fully funded by the NUS Research Scholarship, which covers tuition and provides a stipend. I became a president assistant in campus housing, so I have my accommodation secured too. Apart from the initial fight ticket, I haven't had major expenses, which makes studying here very cost effective. I feel the value for money is excellent.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I come from Kerala, India and I could find authentic Kerala food, pretty far from NUS. Within my university, there is a mix of casual eateries, cafes and fast food chain. I generally prefer to eat outside as my course keeps me busy and not all housing allows full cooking facilities. For those very particular about food, learning quick cooking hacks can be helpful when living abroad.

Strong academics and highly professional faculty.
Tips: Try to apply for residential colleges. They make the experience better. If not, try being a part of more multicultural clubs as those help you make yourself comfortable in the university. Additionally, do not stress over studies so much. It is all gonna be okay.
Likes (Safety): The country is one of the safest in the world. They don't have late public transport which is a bit annoying but at the same time it you split cabs and stuff it is not that bad. You can walk anywhere at night. People are not judgemental of what you do around you. However, please follow the rules.
Dislikes (Student Life): Nothing to do. Everyone just studies. The university has some annoyingly strict rules and a lot of clubs and extracurriculars feel like you are there for some extrinsic reason and have to be so schedule heavy that you decide not to be a part. I would recommend doing something similar in Year 1.

London has it all although I cook at home but on weekends, I usually go out with my friends.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The public transportation in London is very well collected and very well established. It is one of the oldest public transport system that consist of underground trains and overground trains and national railway; buses that run all around London. The only downside that I can say about the public transport here is that it's Harsh on the pockets of the students, though students have the option of getting a travel card on their student Oyster card.

Expensive city with lots of Indian food options.
Tips: Before coming to London, one should know that London is one of the most expensive cities. Living expenses are very high here which include rent, transportation and much more. So, a part-time job becomes very crucial. I received a scholarship of 6000. I'm satisfied with my university.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): The United Kingdom is known for its rich culture. If you keep aside the recession part, this would be the country of my dreams. If given a chance I would definitely settle in here because of the quality of life that one gets here.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a lot of Indian food options available here in London. London is one of those cities in the United Kingdom that has a high number of Indian and Pakistani restaurants. Every time an Indian restaurant is available in London whether it's Gujarat, Nepali, or North Indian, I prefer eating at home but occasionally I go out with my friends to eat out as well.

Lots of Indian food options with world-class exposure.
Tips: My relatives were already living in London so they helped me with scheduling in the initial days. After that, I opted for student accommodation. I availed a scholarship of 4000 for my course. I'm completely satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Internships): Finding internships at Queen Mary can be a bit tricky. There's guidance from the careers team and workshops but it's not like someone holds your hand the whole way. You have to constantly check portals update your CV and apply again and again which can get tiring.

Too expensive for a degree, but overall an average experience.
Tips: People believe the country will look like it is in the movies, hence they come with a lot of expectations. Unfortunately, it's not. The campus life is mixed with diverse cultures, and we will all meet someone from our own culture. Everyone who performed well in their previous education gets access to the Global Talent Scholarship, amounting to 3000 pounds during my time. Overall university experience, I would give 3/5.
Likes (Indian Food): I personally believe there are a lot of shops nearby, and a bit of a walk would solve all the problems from where I have been. Coming from India, I liked staying in my accommodation since it's located in zone 2 and is accessible to a tube station. There are a lot of grocery stores available that would enable one to cook their own food as well, from Lidl to Sainsbury's.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It's really difficult to get into a full-time sponsored job in this country. With strict immigration laws and the advancement of AI, one needs to stand out really well from others to get into the desired role. Personally, for me, getting a part-time job was difficult, but I managed somehow. With temporary settlement being this difficult, imagine permanent settlement.

You learn a lot and experience growth in many ways.
Tips: I would say choose a university based on your course and the modules offered there. Check for scholarships. I got a scholarship but at QMUL you do not need to apply; they send you a confirmation saying to submit a SOP of why they need to give a scholarship, after which you are picked to get one. I am very satisfied with the course.
Likes (Student Life): All classes were good. I liked my finance classes, complex network class. I used to do my work mostly in the library which is huge. SBM students also have access to Bloomberg labs. All events are well organised. I would suggest participating in everything. You meet people and learn different things and get to know a lot of stuff. I am in a few clubs. I loved being a Student venture capitalist and also an active member at the student union.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The Curve offers you good food for 10-15 pounds for a meal. Or you can always find meal deals in Sainsbury's and Tesco or other food places near campus. I sometimes used to cook but you have a variety of options for food in and near the campus. Outside the campus you get meal deals for around 6 pounds.

One of the best universities for technical courses.
Tips: Honestly speaking when I arrived here, I expected it to be difficult for me, but upon making friends with whom I spend time during the national days, they became like a family. I got a 3000 scholarship from QMUL.
Likes (Student Life): The student life is amazing; the exposure that you get here is unparalleled. Queen Mary University of London has students from more than a hundred countries and has more than three campuses of its own, offers in campus and off-campus accommodation as well.
Dislikes (Internships): When it comes to an internship the culture is completely different in the UK. They only provide guidance and help you with your resume. You have to apply for the internship yourself. They are not listed anywhere. You have to work really hard to get an internship.

Great public transportation.
Tips: Before joining the university I was a bit nervous because of the transition that would be taking place. I had no prior experience. Many foreign city through experienced challenge myself for a new beginning, found myself more independent and focused. I received a scholarship of 3000 from Queen Mary University of London.
Likes (Student Life): Because of the immense exposure that you get from the University of Friend, part of the QMUL experience. Great shift in my personality and persona. I got the exposure of how things are managed. I got to connect with eminent personalities.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Because of the great connectivity that you get from the Milan campus throughout London. From Mile station, it connects to every part of London via expended tube network also London bus service is exceptional. Leave the bus every 5 to 10 minutes at the station. The bus station is just one minute walking distance away from the university campus.

Likes (Student Life): Student facilities are available in the university. 24*7 access to the library for students. Events and Indian festivals like Diwali and Holi are celebrated. We do have the Hindu society and the Indian society.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Average is very low for the permanent immigration option here in the United Kingdom. This is because of the current scenario in the United Kingdom. There's been a period of recession that is currently going on which is making it very challenging and difficult to get a graduate job. Students with experience are also struggling to get a graduate job here.

Permanent immigration can be a problem.
Tips: Speaking about the transition that I went through, that was pretty much smooth except the first week which was difficult for me as it was a new country but I already had a few friends that were living here for the last two years so they helped me to settle in. Getting a part time job can be challenging in the UK but with the proper support from the university I got my part time job within two months of joining the university. They have a separate site where they help students in creating their resume and they also list part time jobs there.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Because of the present events that have taken place. The laws introduced by the UK government restrict PSWP from 24 months to 18 months and there has been an increase in the sponsorship fee as well.

Lot more than just education.
Tips: My transition was quite challenging during the initial days. I took support of the University's mental well-being, society. They help me in settling in and I would suggest that if any of you find it difficult to settle in, there is always a mental will in society in every UK University; they are very kind to help, even if it is the smallest of matters. This thing at my university really impresses me. I received a scholarship of 4000. I am satisfied with my university and faculty members.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Exposure, the quality of teaching that London has been unmatched, was given at the University of London. After 1 year of Masters I found myself improved and change human being because of the exposure that I got from the faculty and peers here. This is something I remember and carry forward for all of my life.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent immigration settlement, according to me in the current situation, the United Kingdom is not worth it as it used to be. Taxes are very high and living expenses as well, and if you talk about the opportunities, I think personally, there are more opportunities in India.

Quality education; gradually increasing crime rate.
Tips: Talking about the transition that I went through after coming from India here in the UK, it was quite challenging in the initial days while I was trying to settle in. We were two friends who came together for studies, so we managed somehow during the initial days, as time passed, made new friends and adapted ourselves to this new country. The quality of the faculty is just amazing. The professors have all the knowledge of their subjects. Just the professor of business schools. Call experience of real life, businesses and our classes were held in such an interactive way that it never felt like a theoretical class; it was a practical class. We always had a guest lecture after the second half of our classes.
Dislikes (Safety): Crime has significantly increased in recent times. People say that this is because of the illegal immigrants, but God knows what the reason behind it, it's no safer than it used to be, with multiple events involving international students. Being stabbed has been reported since my arrival, to be honest. I also feel scared while walking out alone at night.

Tips: Transition was pretty smooth after coming to the UK, as I already knew the inside of living here from my friends who have been studying there from last few years. They helped me in settling in and apart from that, there is a dedicated team at the university that helps you settle in quickly. I am completely satisfied with my university. Talking about the city, I expected more from London as it was my dream city since childhood.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport provides great connectivity in the UK. Also, internationally, you can take a train from London to Paris. It's that good that I would like to give it to a student, get the student twister as soon as you and get it liked with the rail. You'll get 30% discount on every rail trip.
Dislikes (Safety): Safety is one of the major concerns and the recent issue is in the city of London. There have been multiple cases of students being stepped on mentally. Students who are coming to London should be extremely careful about taking their phones out of their pockets in busy areas.

The UK's recession and Queen Mary's excellent education.
Tips: Before joining, one should consider the current scenario in the United Kingdom. This lack of jobs here right now is going through a period of bad choices. They are currently committing illegal immigration. So getting a job can be difficult. If you're coming here, be prepared for facing rejections while applying, though the university provides some good exposure. Lifetime exposure for me as I was not looking for the jobs here.
Likes (Post study jobs): Queen Mary University of London has a separate portal dedicated to the students where they can search for graduate jobs. All the jobs are listed there, and if you're lucky, you can get one as well. Also, provide personal support to the student applying for the jobs and graduate roles. For my course, the usual starting salary is 30,000 per.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I would say that three star rating is justified for the permanent immigration option. This is because of the lack of jobs. There is so much hardship and finding a graduate job United Kingdom. It's no more than you graduate and immediately get a job. There is a lot of struggle behind it takes one year to get a job, and continuous hard work. Good job, considering the session chances are quite low.

Value driven education in the heart of London.
Tips: Students should be prepared for a transformative transition. I experienced a noticeable cultural shift upon arrival from India, which was managed through the systems and inclusive environment. I was fortunate to have availed myself of a 3000 scholarship directly from Queen Mary University of London which significantly impacted my financial planning satisfaction with the course, and the country is generally positive, reflecting the comprehensive value and supportive environment.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Immigration settlement is directly influenced by the current UK immigration policies. The education in the post study work period from 24 to 18 significantly restricts international time to find and secure employment by hindering pathways to permanent settlement. This political climate, combined with broad debates around illegal immigration contribute to a less favourable and uncertain landscape for long-term residence.

Tips: The transition to London has been very smooth for me as I've already had friends who have been studying at Queen's University of London, so I came here with knowledge of what things gonna be like for me. I availed the scholarship of 4000 that was based on my graduation marks.
Likes (Student Life): The university gives you the time of your life to connect with friends and professors, who are the motivation themselves and are the overachievers in their field. I enjoyed hanging out with my friends. The most the universe organises every type of cultural event even Diwali and Holi are celebrated on the campus. They are organised by the Hindu society/Indian society.
Dislikes (Safety): For safety inside the University campus is solid. All the entrances and exits are pretty much secure and there is no concerning thing there, but if you talk about the safety outside the campus, it's crime filled and has a prominent increase in London.

Likes (Post study jobs): Because of the QMUL support during the days of the university. They provide one to one support for the job analysis to get through the tight job market. These types of workshops are very helpful in getting self assessment and guidance on cracking the job market.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The new immigration laws were introduced by the UK government. They have now reduced the PSW period for new intake. And also have increased the minimum sponsorship salary as well so getting sponsorship now is very difficult.
