MSc in Pharmaceutical Analysis - Batch of 2026
4.4
Diversity that becomes a family at QUB.
Tips: It's a great place to study after moving to Belfast; the people are very kind, and the nightlife is good. When you come to a new country, try to blend in and explore the culture. The university offers financial aid, but you might need to provide supporting documentation. A loan document could be helpful. It offers around 500. I am very satisfied with my time here.
Likes (Part time work): We have opportunities in the union with many roles, even off-campus; we have access to plenty of jobs. The kind and polite people create a nice working environment that is manageable with academics. I would suggest avoiding food chain jobs. On average, a student can earn £850 per month.
Dislikes (Internships): There are fewer internship opportunities in Belfast compared to the mainland. Since most courses start in September, many internship postings come out in October and November, which is when new students arrive and often miss out. Therefore, I would recommend starting your search as soon as you begin your course.

MSc Accounting and Finance - Batch of 2025

Good for PhD studies, but not recommended for a Master's degree.
Tips: It's advisable to have prior work experience, as there are no placement services or a dedicated placement year. Enrolling at the bachelor's level is recommended, as it can positively influence your mindset. This university primarily focuses on research and not industry-oriented training, so manage your job expectations accordingly.
Likes (Student Life): The student union is excellent for relaxing. There's a library for studying and group discussions, a large gym, a swimming pool, and other facilities. Belfast has a good nightlife with pubs. Be aware of junkies, as they may try to start fights.
Dislikes (Internships): The university doesn't offer internships, unlike other courses. Moreover, we struggle to secure external internships due to visa issues. Therefore, applying for graduate roles and internships feels like a waste of time. I'm unsure what the future holds, as they've also altered the course modules.

Perfectly designed university for students.
Tips: I love the culture here in Belfast. The people are amazing and friendly, both in Belfast and in other cities in Northern Ireland. I got a PGT scholarship with an early bird offer of 2000+1500 = 3500. After subtracting the scholarship amount, I paid the fee amount. I am very satisfied with the course, the country, and the university.
Likes (Part time work): I spend my day walking from the student accommodation to my university, which takes about 15-20 minutes. I love learning with my classmates, and the campus is amazing. The student union is a great place to hang out, socialize, and work. They have a piano and organize many events, including career fairs, festivals, and treasure hunts. There are also many clubs, including hiking, sports, equestrian, education, spiritual, and water sports clubs.
Dislikes (Internships): The faculty encourages and trains students to work on their part to understand and learn the subject by giving application-based assignments. All the faculty members are just an email away. They give their appointments to students in need and help to understand students' POV as well. The faculty are a mixture from different parts of the world with diversity from Europe, Asian, and the UK.

The curriculum is well defined and the faculty are very helpful.
Tips: One of the key reasons I joined this university is because it's the cheapest Russell Group university, and the cost of living in Belfast is comparatively low compared to other cities. Belfast is a small city, and the university has scholarship programs, but they won't affect you. The course structure is well-defined, and the professors are very helpful, but you will struggle to get marks from them. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Part time work): You can get part-time work both on and off campus, especially around Christmas. It may be a bit of a struggle at first, but there are plenty of part-time options available, so don't stress about finding a job. If you budget wisely, you can cover most of your expenses and even save some money.
Dislikes (Value for money): As an international student from India, the high tuition and living costs at Queen's University Belfast can be a financial burden. The scholarship you receive won't be enough to offset the cost of living, especially for housing and accommodation.

MSc Marketing - Batch of 2025

Wonderful city and university of love in with multiple opportunities to take on.
Tips: There is going to be a cultural shift academically as well as in general. Coming from a small town I have seen a lot of cultural socks here in my first month. I received a scholarship of 6000 pounds from QUB. It was based on my SOP. I am very satisfied with all of these factors, the university is amazing, the people are very helpful and generous, and the course is on point with my preference. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the course, country and university.
Likes (Part time work): Belfast is a comparatively small town but has a lot of part-time role opportunities across all domains. On-campus roles are pretty hard to accomplish as a lot of people apply for them at once. It sometimes gets hard to manage your day with part-time and lectures. It's right down to the minimum wage.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Due to competition from other applicants, it is pretty hard to land a job of your interest. However, if you start early at applying to internships and placement while semesters are running you can get an upper hand on them. LinkedIn is also a very nice tool to make new connections that will help you land a role. All kinds of marketing roles are available starting from approximately. 18000-30000 year.

Supportive, diverse, and rewarding experience at Queen’s University Belfast.
Tips: Before joining Queen's University Belfast, students should know that the university offers a supportive and diverse environment with a strong emphasis on academic excellence and extracurricular activities. Transitioning here was smooth, though I did experience a cultural shift. The friendliness and warmth of the people in Belfast made it easy to adapt to the new surroundings. The university also provides various resources to help international students settle in, from orientation programs to dedicated support services. I did not avail of any scholarships, but I know that Queen's offers a range of scholarships for international students, which can be applied for based on academic merit or specific criteria. I am highly satisfied with my university, the M.Sc. Finance course, and living in Belfast. The city is welcoming, and the academic environment at Queen's is both challenging and rewarding, offering numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Likes (Student Life): I rated my student life at Queen's University Belfast a 5 because it offers a vibrant and enriching experience. Living in Queen's University accommodation has allowed me to be fully immersed in the university community. My day typically starts with lectures and group study sessions, followed by spending time with friends in the student union or exploring the beautiful campus. What I enjoy most about my college life is the diversity of activities available. The campus is always buzzing with events, from academic workshops and guest lectures to cultural festivals and sports competitions. I regularly participate in these events, as they offer a great way to learn, socialize, and relax. Queen's also has a wide range of student clubs and societies that cater to various interests, including finance, sustainability, arts, and sports. I'm actively involved in the Sustainable Finance Society, where we discuss and promote sustainable practices within the finance industry. This has not only allowed me to pursue my passion but also to connect with like-minded individuals. Overall, the supportive and dynamic environment at Queen's University Belfast makes my student life truly fulfilling.

This place will help you transform to a stronger version.
Tips: After joining the college there will be huge cultural shift and cultural shocks. Develop a mindset to embrace the culture open heartedly. There will be a scholarship depending on your merit and they deduct it from total fees. I am partially satisfied with university, course, and country. Because the course was not entirely taught as promised for non technical students and they expected us to learn by ourselves and complete the course. This was a huge blow to non technical students.
Likes (Part time work): There are plenty of part time jobs on campus and around the campus. It's hard to manage studies and jobs at the same time but increases time management skills. Basic pay for all jobs. You need to manage the time schedules for job and academic works. If you are unable to manage, there are support systems to help you complete academic work from university.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Due to change of rules, there is almost no chance of getting permanent settlement. An international student is given only a last priority. It is absolutely tough to compete with the native here for job hunting. If given a chance, I would definitely opt for permanent settlement.

A value for money university but the journey will be challenging.
Tips: Try to get to know about the weather. About the nearby places of university. Apply for all the scholarships which you are eligible for. Try to connect with your alumni. Acceptance of new changes both good and bad is a good skill to have. Be ready for challenges since life abroad is not what you see on social media.
Likes (Value for money): QUB offers high range of scholarships which makes the course fee more affordable and value for money. Fees compared to other universities in mainland UK, QUB offer very competitive and good fees. Also, payment options are flexible and offer more discounts if you pay in full in advance .
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): A permanent settlement takes 5 years in the UK. To reach that you need to find a sponsorship job which will help you to stay in for longer terms. Also rules by the UK home office change very often so bit uncertain to predict the future. But again not impossible to get a PR.

A course in QUB is a real time challenge and if you are really passionate about the subject.
Tips: I did get a real good experience out of my degree, not only academically but I did grow a lot in the real world understanding the job prospects and real-world skill set. I did get a scholarship based on my undergrad score in India at the time in 2020 but unsure today how the scholarships are awarded. I loved this large university in a small country.
Likes (Safety): Crime rate is the lowest and you feel safe to walk at any place even if it is dark and isolated in a remote area because the response rate for emergency services is really quick. I had an instance where police had to issue a fine to us as we broke a Covid house restriction but that's a pretty small fine though.
Dislikes (Indian Food): We don't find many Indian/Bangladeshi/Pakistani Restaurants in Belfast compared to other cities in the UK or Ireland as Northern Ireland has transportation challenges, I did cook mostly on my own. An average Indian dinner would cost an individual nearly 315-320.

The university offers many opportunities to grow.
Tips: Be ready to take on any opportunities that come. Be sure to study well, as it is not that hard to pass unless you put in the required effort. And also make sure to have fun too as the city has a lot of things to offer. The college also has a lot of programmes that are beneficial to students, so make sure to check them out.
Likes (Value for money): University has nice affiliation and the modules are relevant and well thought. All professors are well educated and helpful. The course also has a lot of assignments that are relevant to the job market and various subject expertise, but scoring in assignments also depends on the professor and his views.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): You have a chance to get PSW after you study for 2 more years. I wouldn't personally immigrate here but it does offer scope if you want to. Everything depends on the job you get, and the Visa sponsorship that your job might offer. It takes 5 years of sponsored visa to get permanent residence.

Leaving your comfort zone, yet finding comfort.
Tips: After taking admission in QUB, I haven’t had any problem and being in Belfast is the best kickstart for any student to start their new journey in the UK, as everything comes around to your budget. The professors interact with the students very well and they do not hesitate to clear the doubts. The college lectures are all offline but you do get study material online and research papers that help us in our assignment and exam preparation. There is a 3 floor library and a Riddel hall where you can do group study by booking the room. A graduate school is there as well which is beautiful and peaceful to study alone. The university has a sports centre including sports like private classes for yoga, aqua jogging, Pilates or dance, swimming, badminton, gym, rock climbing and much more. The university offers various clubs to join such as Tai Jutsu, badminton club, caving club, skydiving club, dance club for especially for south Asian students, etc. After completing the course, Queens has their app called ‘Simplicity’ where you can see which companies are hiring and there are graduate programs as well. Internships are also available which you can do only after you are done with your graduation, since it requires 40 hours of work every week and as a student, we are allowed only 20 hours. The Queen’s itself has cafes and student’s union where you can work part-time. QUB also comes under the Russell Group which is great for your CV. As a student, everyone faces some or the other problem, but you have professors to give you advice and the university also offers support for the student’s well-being. I realize that I took the right decision to choose QUB and I would recommend it to others as well but also, an honest suggestion would be getting into QUB in the September intake is preferable than the January intake.

Low tuition fee and good academic support
Tips: It belongs to the prestigious Russell group of Universities. Students should learn some skills back from their home country that would help them to maneuver through their academic and social life. Also, have their CV tailored as per the UK requirements
Likes (Safety): Safety depends on the area of residence and the area of travel. I was fortunate to live in student accommodation at ulster University and Queen's University during my course but in the last two months, I will be shifting outside the campus accommodation.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): In my second semester almost there were two months of academic strike that caused concern but later was resolved. Not all faculties are full time working so you have to take appointments. The online library & extra activities help for academic and job purposes.

Best postgraduate experience at this university.
Tips: Get ready to take up academics seriously with the programs offered to be research intensive in terms of assignments and exams. Engaging in several university clubs and events will provide ample exposure to leadership and is also fun. Learn a thing or two about Irish culture.
Likes (Internships): Belfast is a booming city with a lot of upcoming business opportunities. Local companies hire interns and part time employees. Plenty of summer internships are available with decent pay. Regular effort in applying for internships is required to reach out to employers but the hiring process is fair and square.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are limited options for Indian cuisine and can often be pricey. Having local food is quite feasible. Being a vegetarian is a little difficult but can work with a lot of recent vegan options popping up in different parts of Belfast. Buying at a local grocery and cooking can prove advantageous.

Tips: The university is very friendly with people and you can have many different clubs to join. From all other universities in UK, this is the cheapest with living rates. There is a variety of different food options however the city isn't as lively as London or Dublin so just make sure you know it'll get a bit quiet at times.
Likes (Indian Food): There are many Indian restaurants around here, like at least 4 at minimum. You can easily order food from delivery or visit them. Also, there are pretty decent Indian shops around where you can buy all the items from India, all original. They're pretty good and you can find almost anything you need.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part time work personally for me has been a bit hard to find but others around me have gotten part-time work pretty easily. I tried applying for part-time jobs in restaurants and other jobs such as receptionist but I never got a response back from anywhere.

Queens college is good for cyber security course
Tips: As it is a cybersecurity degree, knowledge of ethical hacking or industry experience will help a lot to grasp the study material. While doing the degree, you can also pursue certificates like Splunk, CEH, CompTIA etc as they will help you in the recruitment process.
Likes (Safety): When we joined the course, the structure of the classes was okay. In a month, the first week was reading week, the next was the classes, and the exam was on the last day. The third and fourth week was reserved for the coursework. After our batch, the structure was changed which made the course more efficient. You have to help yourself and study very hard as the exam pattern is very different from that of India.
Dislikes (Value for money): The faculty had a lot of credibilities. They helped us whenever we had any doubts. The course content was also good and explained thoroughly. Mostly, all the professors are PhD and have immense knowledge. But now, the faculty is changed so please check the Queen's faculty page.

Likes (Student Life): It's good. People and faculty are helpful. Food and transportation is cheap. Student accommodation is preferred.

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

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

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

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