Management MSc - Batch of 2026
4.1
Scholarship and career coach connections.
Tips: I am a recipient of the India Excellence Scholarship and I would highly recommend that students apply for scholarships and there are certain trips that they should know before coming here. Connection with the career coaches is very important from the start.
Likes (Indian Food): Back in my home country, I heard that there are very less options for vegetarian or vegan people, but that is not the case, even if each restaurant has just one or two vegetarian options, they are always present plus, it is in very much proximity to the campus, so in brakes, you can go and get yourself a bowl or something to eat.
Dislikes (Value for money): If you can apply for a scholarship, it would be better because even if back in India, you feel it's a small amount that you have received a scholarship, or there are different types of scholarships. Here which you can apply for. For example, the director scholarship which gives you a large amount off.

Friendly people and campus.
Tips: My transition has been similar to almost every other international student here which makes one feel more reassured. My first semester here was quite overwhelming but things fell in place soon after. There is plenty of opportunity if you put yourself out there. Sponsorship has become quite rare now so make sure that you're mentally prepared for all possibilities. I feel the tuition fee for all international students is on the higher end especially when you compare it to local students but the scholarships can make a difference. Also the quality of education has matched up and if you secure a job afterwards, it seems justified.

UCL is amazing, in terms of staff, faculty, and crowd.
Tips: Just be open to making memories, don't stress a lot about employment, and keep putting in regular efforts. Enjoy time at UCL because usually classes are only 3-4 days a week, go out with your friends. UCL has a lot of good and student friendly bars, and a lot of food joints as well. No cultural difference, UCL is very acceptable, and students from all over the world come to UCL.
Likes (Student Life): UCL is amazing in terms of staff faculty and crowd. It is located in the heart of London which is the main campus. They have various societies and different events happening almost every day. I was a part of the UCL pro bono project and it was really nice. I participated in 2 to 3 dance events as well and everything was beyond good. UCL is good in terms of getting the right exposure a good crowd and making memorable memories.
Dislikes (Internships): The university provides guidance and support to students however current UK market is challenging. Internships are available applications need to be submitted 5-6 months before and the process requires rigorous and continuous effort. Universities provide websites but an independent application is more important.

International Public Policy MSc - Batch of 2025
5.0
Privileged to be a UCL alumnus.
Tips: I have transitioned. Scholarships are less so you need to work hard. I didn't really experience a cultural shift because I was quite exposed to Western culture and countries since I was a child. I love London and my university; I graduated last month with a Merit overall and a distinction in my dissertation which is also being published, and I work in London now.
Likes (Internships): Whilst I was in college I used to visit libraries, student cafes, we were in Bloomsbury which was the heart of London, so everything was within walking distance. I was the Vice President of the International Public Affairs Society. UCL has 1000s of societies.
Dislikes (Safety): The department is very accessible and accommodating. The word I'd like to use is student friendly. UCL teaching doesn't just give you facts, it makes you learn how to think critically. The teaching faculty is very diverse. It's a global university. There are people from all nationalities.

Pharmaceutics MSc - Batch of 2025
4.5
Diverse college campus and lots of learning opportunities.
Tips: Coming to UCL has been a transformative experience both academically and personally. The transition helped me grow significantly as an individual. Being surrounded by so many bright and passionate people naturally pushes you to think more deeply about your subject and to constantly improve yourself. I didn't feel a major culture shift as everyone at UCL was incredible pathetic welcoming and respectuful which makes adapting much easier. I feel extremely satisfied with my university course and country as a whole. At UCL I had the opportunity to learn from and work with some of the best professors, all of whom were exceptionally supportive and helpful throughout my academic journey making the experience even more rewarding.
Dislikes (Part time work): Although there are good opportunities both on and off campus, balancing them with the intensity of a one-year masters course is a bit challenging. UCL provides plenty of on-campus roles, especially for Bachelor's students, such as student ambassador positions and paid roles within the UCL Students' Union. UCL's career website is also very helpful, through which students can apply for part-time jobs and paid internships. Off-campus jobs are usually in retail, hospitality, customer service, and administrative work. Part-time work becomes more manageable during vacation when there is more time to catch up on studies. The average payout for part-time work in London typically ranges from 12-15 pounds per hour, and on-campus roles often pay slightly higher, around 14-17 pounds per hour.

Management MSc - Batch of 2025
3.1
A supportive and career focused university experience.
Tips: The cultural shift is manageable and easy to adjust to. London is a great place with amazing culture and a lot of Indian people. I didn't avail any scholarships. I am satisfied with my university - great course structure, guest lectures, research exposure and strong career support make the experience worthwhile.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport in the UK is highly reliable and well-connected and Citymapper is a true saviour. The campus is linked to the city via buses, tubes, and trains. Transport is convenient, frequent and more expensive than in India, but very efficient and time saving.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The UK settlement rules are strict and constantly changing. A one year Master's make it hard to study, find internships and secure a sponsored job quickly. Changes depend on finding a role within months post-study, especially as ILR now requires 10 years.

UCL pushes you to be the best version of yourself.
Tips: The transition has been challenging. The workload I have is a lot here but then it's a part of the process. It's a prestigious university and hence it's academically rigorous. The best part is that all I have to do is ask for help whenever I'm struggling and there will be people around me who can guide me and help me with anything. I'm very happy and grateful for the opportunity to be a student at UCL and live in London.
Likes (Quality of faculty): I love the campus and the facilities that are provided. There are many amount of clubs and activities being conducted although I don't get to attend them frequently as I am busy. There are clubs for dance, music, debate, educational, academic, research, cultural linguistic societies and many more. I mostly spend my day attending lectures and catching up on them by studying in the library on campus. I also get to spend time with some of my amazing friends I met here.
Dislikes (Student Life): The faculty is really approachable, especially for my field. The kind of research exposure I'm getting here is phenomenal! The lectures involve the professor talking about their lab's research and its findings. The faculty is very diverse and friendly. They're really approachable for any sort of doubts or queries.

Vibrant and diverse campus life.
Tips: It is an amazing college to do an undergraduate degree at. It is friendly and welcoming. The academics are very strong. Student life is beaming thanks to the many student societies, frequent student events and joyful environment on campus. Here, you study hard and party harder.
Likes (Indian Food): There are an innumerable number of Indian restaurants in London, and food from any part of India you want. I was very pleasantly surprised by the taste too. On average, a good meal will cost you about 15-20 pounds pp. I prefer cooking at home than going outside.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It is a little difficult to obtain a work visa here after the visa requirements have changed. The volatile institutional environment around it discourages employers from hiring Indians, as it would require their support. There is still racism in the wider community.

Management MSc - Batch of 2026
3.9
There are many opportunities to engage and explore.
Tips: Students should know that transitioning into UCL especially the School of Management largely depends on their prior academic environment. For me it was a significant shift because the focus here is much more practical group work, interaction, teamwork and real-world application rather than only lectures or written assignments. From day one classes are highly engaging and you’re encouraged to participate instead of just listening passively. In terms of culture, London is a friendly yet professional place. People here balance warmth and formality very well whether it’s classmates, professors, or even the management team, communication feels open and respectful. Anyone coming from a different cultural or academic background might notice the shift, but it’s easy to adapt. Regarding scholarships, UCL offers limited options directly through the university. Once you receive your offer, they email you the scholarship details. I applied but did not receive one. Still, the process is straightforward. I’m extremely satisfied with my course and the university overall. The only minor drawback is that UCL has three campuses, and most events and societies are centered around Bloomsbury. Since SOM is in Canary Wharf, travel can feel expensive and sometimes makes us feel slightly distant from the main campus vibe. However, the SOM campus itself is stunning being on one of the top floors with panoramic views of London, sunsets, the skyline, Tower Bridge, and the London Eye is something truly special. The course content is well balanced and prepares you for the actual management world. As for the country, the UK, especially London, is welcoming, diverse, and full of opportunities. Living here genuinely feels like fulfilling a dream and gives a strong main character energy.
Likes (Student Life): Even with a busy academic schedule, there are many opportunities to engage and explore. As a management student I have compulsory 3 hour lectures every day and at least once a week I attend seminars or workshops that are optional but very enriching. UCL has three campuses- UCL School of Management where all management lectures happen, Bloomsbury and UCL East. Most social events take place at Bloomsbury. Our SOM campus mainly hosts academic sessions. Student clubs and communities aren’t campus-specific; they are open to all UCL students. There are clubs for arts, sports, music, reading, dance, hiking, cooking, cultural and religious groups, pride communities, and even niche ones like the Cat Club. The vibrancy of the UCL student community and the wide range of opportunities make student life active and enjoyable.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking for myself than eating out. it is affordable and allows me to choose exactly what I want. In Canary Wharf there are a few good Indian restaurants such as Dishoom Kricket IndiGo Rasoi Manjal and Mala by the riverside.

Proud exposure of lifetime.
Tips: The study of my course is more practical based rather than being more theoretical. Always look for the UCL scholarship page. If you are looking forward to joining UCL for your studies, look for the scholarships, as it becomes value for money when you can get a scholarship. Nonetheless, the experience is marvellous at UCL. It carries an attack on my reputation for the money that I have put in. I'm completely satisfied with the outcome.
Likes (Student Life): The student life at UCL is fantastic. It's amazing. It's the best you can get their students from all over the world. There is a lot of cultural diversity. You get to interact with people having an experience of every sort. There are numerous clubs and societies. There is an Indian society as well for the Indian students. Frequent events are on the campus.
Dislikes (Value for money): The fee for the university is quite high. It's on the higher side with a range up to 40 lacs per year. Although I got this scholarship which covers 60% of my tuition fee, it became value for money for me, but if you do not get a scholarship, then it's not value for money.

Resilient, purposeful and introspective.
Tips: I guess I have become more responsible, capable of handling my own finances and life. It’s overwhelming in the beginning, but once you find your ground and you start to make friends, it gets easier with time. Of course, there is a cultural and a mindset shift. The UK is more liberal, you can become your own person and craft your story in your own way.
Likes (Student Life): UCL has a lot to offer if you are ready and proactive to take on the opportunities. There are pro bono projects that you can be part of, social groups and creative societies such as Fashion society, International Politics, Dance, Cycling, Tennis, and travelling. Events vary across meet and greet sessions, career fairs, CV building workshops and some fun pop cultural events as well. I tried to participate in as many extra-curricular projects as I could, whilst balancing studies for my Master's. I stayed in uni halls as they are a great place to meet international people and make friends.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It’s competitive to get a skilled worker job but once you do get it, it gets slightly easier to eventually get a permanent status. I am not sure if I would like to stay in the UK permanently but for the next few years, I definitely do see myself working here. It's been almost 4 years and London feels home now. I like my career transition path but I might or might not eventually move back to Delhi.

Good for personal growth.
Tips: Know what you want to do. Start applying early on. Get your application right. It’s not that easy to get admission here. Once you come here you’ll be overwhelmed by the sheer vastness of the city and the uni, but do not let it intimidate you. Strive to do your best and aim to work here after graduation, so that it’s all worth it.
Likes (Student Life): From classes to pubs to society activities, it’s all great. You get to explore central London, which has a rustic yet modern feel to it. The east campus is in Canary Wharf, the business district, so that you get the corporate feel. The faculty is one of the best in the world, ranking is good, academically oriented and produces future assets, i.e., the graduates.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Chances are low because of the new and stricter immigration rules. Since the new rules introduced in July 2025 made it more difficult for companies to sponsor visas for jobs, it’s gonna be very hard to secure a permanent role after graduation. But you still have to try.

An adventurous year in London and UCL.
Tips: UCL is a highly competitive university, and one has to work twice as hard to score well in comparison to an Indian university. Also, there are 3 terms in a year - this means that classes will be held in the first 2 terms, and the last term is for exams/final assessment and research essay. UCL is also strict about the usage of AI or ChatGPT for assignments.
Likes (Quality of faculty): UCL is one of the oldest institutions in the UK, so all the professors are highly educated and accomplished in their fields. In the law faculty, I have seen the Law Commission as a professor; the lawyer of the Queen is also a professor. So, you don't have to worry about the quality of education here as it will be world-class, and the employers recognise this institute and give preference to the UCL students.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I don't know much about the permanent settlement or immigration information in the UK, as I am a current student at UCL and I don't wish to apply for the same, but I hope that whoever wishes to apply for it does not get disappointed about the same. But the facilities here are easy to use, and people are quite friendly, so you can get more information after reaching London.

My college has been a transformative experience so far, shaping both academic and career growth.
Tips: My transition was particularly from Mumbai to London, so I didn't really have problem adjusting to the fast paced life here. I did get an internal scholarship of 50 percent, your SOP is very critical for that. The university offers multiple modules to choose from. It is ranked as one of the top most universities in the world and it couldn't get better than that.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is way more approachable and helpful. You can always visit them during office hours or drop an email. The course is content heavy and mostly your understanding of the class depends on how well you have completed the readings that were offered to you prior. Solicitors and barristers from around the world are teaching the course and UCL has a big alumni base.
Dislikes (Safety): The campus is around Central London and not the Gate. There have been instances of theft. The campus security is top notch but they themselves can't do a lot about the outside situation. One has to be careful walking in these areas. Also, avoid travelling alone initially.

Tips: Avoid coming to the United Kingdom or London, there is a housing and eco-crisis going on currently, opportunities are very limited. Go to places like the Netherlands or Germany instead. There are hardly opportunities for everyone. There is no global exposure also, UK is filled with Indians.
Dislikes (Value for money): Definitely not a value for money, professors arena like the Indians ones, everything needs to be done on our own! Engagement opportunities are minimal, it's just restricted to two floors. Lack of practical exposure and you still get tested based on examinations.

Chemistry BSc - Batch of 2028
4.2
A world class learning experience
Tips: If you're doing Chemistry at UCL, just know that the workload hits you like a brick right from week one. The pace here is relentless—between the endless hours in the labs, writing up complex practical reports, and being forced to figure out difficult concepts completely on your own, it's a massive step up from high school. Moving to a hyper-busy city like London is a total shock to the system at first, but honestly, the international crowd on campus is so massive that you find your feet and settle in pretty quickly. Finances are another huge thing to plan for. Definitely look into the merit or need-based scholarships UCL offers before you arrive, because every little bit helps when you're paying London living costs. Looking back, I'm incredibly glad I made this choice. The course is tough but the research facilities and labs are top-tier, the professors are leading experts in their fields, and the whole UK uni experience has been completely worth the grind.
Likes (Safety): I gave safety a 5 because I’ve honestly always felt completely secure hanging around UCL. The campus itself is really well looked after—there are security guards everywhere, proper CCTV, and the main walkways around the quad and buildings are bright and well-lit, even if you’re leaving the library late at night. Plus, because Bloomsbury is right in the middle of central London, there are always tons of people out and about, and the tube stations are so close by that you never feel isolated. Touch wood, I haven’t had a single bad experience or sketchy encounter since starting here. Obviously, you’re in the heart of London, so you still need to keep your wits about you and not wander around with both headphones in at 2 AM, but overall the campus feels like a very safe, welcoming bubble.
Dislikes (Public transportation): I gave public transport a 3 because while UCL's Bloomsbury campus is surrounded by major links like Warren Street, Euston Square, and endless Santander bike docks, actually using the network daily is a massive drain on your wallet. TfL fares rack up incredibly fast if you're commuting in from further out every single day, even with a student discount. The biggest issue is dealing with rush hour. Squeezing onto the Northern or Victoria line during peak times is a complete nightmare because the platforms and carriages get dangerously packed. Plus, you have to factor in constant signal failures, random delays, and sudden line closures that completely mess up your timetable when you're trying to make an early morning lecture. It’s definitely handy having the connections right on your doorstep, but the high costs and sheer discomfort of the daily rush hour crush mean it’s far from perfect.

Tips: The exposure here is unmatched. I came here as a student who was eager to learn and explore all available opportunities. UCL gave me all the opportunities I could dream of. The reputation that is being a UCL grad is beyond explanation. I feel proud to be a UCL grad. I did avail 60% of scholarship by directly applying via the UCL website.
Likes (Student Life): The crowd is from all over the world. The campus is situated in central London which is the most luxurious area of London. Events were organised frequently and participants were from all over the world. There is a cream international crowd. The exposure you get there is unmatched. There are various clubs and communities.
Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fee is too high although I got the Scholarship for 60% of my total tuition fee, which made me comfortable. If you are unable to secure scholarships, then it is not worth the investment. But usually, for these courses, UCL easily provides scholarships.

Tips: Before joining UCL, students should know that UCL demands high academic rigour, a global reputation, and a diverse, international community. Located in central London, living costs are high, and independent learning is key. UCL also offers many extracurricular and career opportunities frequently and I advise the students to participate in it and try to build connections as it will significantly help for professional growth. Overall, I am satisfied with the course, university and the country.

Academically engaging.
Tips: I have become more career focused and practical after coming to study here. Life overseas is different from back home but it is also very adaptable. The right people and the environment certainly make a difference and the tech market here is good. The probability of securing a job here is pretty low honesty but OPT here is good.

Good college with room for improvement.
Tips: The campus here is well maintained with good infra and I would say it is safe and secure as well. Course registration is truly a headache and try to spend your first couple of weeks networking with anyone with similar interests or who might be useful, you never know when that can be helpful. I would say I am satisfied but I had higher expectations.

Fruitful for growth and more.
Tips: Things here go beyond the curriculum. Learning is done in various different ways and if you're research oriented, you'll have a lot to do. Grades are spoiled in several different components including assignments, exams, participation and more so if you're lagging in one aspect you can make up in the other. I would say I am decently satisfied here.

Steady for growth here.
Tips: I have seen both ups and downs after coming here. The competition has increased and so have its challenges but the quality of education and research work here has also been up to the mark. Professors are involved and understanding so feel free to email them in case you require extra assistance or help. Peers are also motivating and helpful so group projects can teach you a lot.

Good classes and professors.
Tips: I have experienced both ups and downs here but my experience is mostly positive as classes are interesting and the university is well connected. Something that you should know is that it is a very Catholic university and although it is respectful, you should be comfortable with getting used to the idea of their faith being a central aspect here. Professors are helpful with lessons and job prospects are limited with all the new regulations, so make sure you do your research.

Good mentorship here.
Tips: This has been a very special journey for me with innumerable twists and turns already, so I don't really know what else is to be expected. Part time jobs are limited but once you get one, it is easy to maintain it and you won't close it unless you quit. People are friendly and coursework is quite intense as assignments can feel endless at times.

Tips: Studying here has made me realise that the university is not a typical university and it can be quite intense in more ways than simply academics which of course is emphasised here. Campus is close knit and people are warm which makes it easier to adjust and find friends. I have been learning something new almost every day since I got here.

Tips: The culture shock isn't massive as there are plenty of Indians and international students and the campus is quite open and accessible as well. Scholarships are awarded for meritorious or need based criteria. Accommodation is also available close enough to campus and even if it's at a distance, transportation is relatively cheap.

Great learning lessons and experiences.
Tips: The academics here are good but the class sizes are big which can limit interaction at times and the competition can get real. Even for internships, it is very neck and neck and you'll have to network hard to land one. Part time jobs get filled in the first couple of weeks itself so you'll have to become creative. All in all, it is a learning experience.

Good academic prospects.
Tips: The cultural shocks here weren't immense but there were differences in aspects such as body language and terminology which you can get used to after a point. Indian food and groceries are available but if you want something super authentic, you'll have to hunt. Professors are knowledgeable and helpful enough to guide you through and people have been kind so far.

Tips: What made me come here was the quality of education offered and the future prospects. There are various big name companies that offer placements here. Dallas is easy to get around although the future remains unpredictable when it comes to sponsorships. Apply on time for scholarships and make sure your application is strong enough to leave an impression.

A decent university for a Master's degree, but students need to put in more effort to find jobs.
Tips: Know the college environment and how it functions beforehand by connecting with seniors. Make sure you know what you are getting into, the pros and cons. Getting scholarships in an Engineering college is a bit challenging. A very few selected students get it.
Likes (Public transportation): The connectivity is good. There are buses and trains connecting to major places. You get an online schedule of all the buses and trains, which helps in planning beforehand about your planning. The transportation is free for students or offered a discounted, affordable prices.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): In the current situation, getting 1 interview is very difficult solely based on your application. Referrals from a person in a position to recruit managers, leads are very much needed. Companies are not that enthusiastic about sponsorship. In the current situation lot of companies prefer students with Bachelor's degrees who would cost less to the company.

Learned a lot about myself and the university helped me to be the best version of myself.
Tips: I have experienced a lot of transformation in myself after coming here. I found the campus slightly overwhelming at first but by joining study groups and clubs, I have felt way more comfortable than I initially was. There are lots of clubs, events, seminars and activities that are held on campus, so I would recommend students to join those events and also build some connections which will help you in your career. Also the professors are generally quite understanding as well so don't hesitate to reach out to them.

Tips: The University of Texas offers a great environment for learning inside and outside of the classrooms. One thing that was really helpful for me was attending several workshops and seminars hosted by the career services centre. This gave me a lot of clarity about my life and career in general and I would recommend the same along with the academic fair to anyone joining here.

High competition for jobs due to competition and immigration.
Tips: Coming to the University of Texas at Dallas was overwhelming at first. It took me a while to settle down but once the classes began I started seeing more people from India, my home country so I felt comfortable. The university does provide scholarships based on GRE score and it is half the fees annually.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): The number of immigrants in Texas is huge compared to other states in the US. There are so many Indians who have come and settled in Texas which makes you feel like you're at home. Also, many of the companies are moving towards Texas as it is comparatively cheaper so the job opportunities are also increasing.
Dislikes (Internships): The job market in the US is currently bad and not many companies are hiring interns. Companies used to hire 10+ interns before but now are only hiring 1 intern. So the competition has also increased and since there are a lot of international students in the US, you are competing against millions for one internship.

Great University with great quality of faculty.
Tips: The experience has certainly taught me a lot. The cultural shift was immense. While there is a big Indian student community, you have people grouping up with other students from the same region, often creating a sense of micro-groups that speak specific languages. Local people are friendly, like talking to you and are inclined to help you too. There are all kinds of people on campus, and you will be able to find something interesting for you if you try and look for it. You need to work heavily on time management and plan everything according to your coursework. It is important to have a good social circle when you need assistance on coursework, but also try to make friends outside of this. All in all, it is a new experience, so try to do new things while ensuring you keep your academic performance at its best.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty on campus, especially programme directors and some professors are really approachable and knowledgeable. You can set up appointments or walk-in to their office if they are available, and they are happy to help answer any questions you have.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I would love to move to the United States permanently, however the current conditions make it very difficult for people to find a good job opportunity. Pay in the United States is also slowly reducing for entry level roles while competition is also increasing. These factors are making it less favorable for international students. Semester fees are also increasing with a consistent increase in living expenses.

Great University experience but limited jobs
Tips: It's a great college and a good opportunity to find peers and friends who are interested in the same things as you. The only thing is that they don't provide any support in finding jobs so you are on your own when it comes to finding roles. Choose your master's program wisely.
Likes (Public transportation): Great connectivity by DART. Robust network significantly helps students in transportation from a lot of pick-up points near campus however, Dallas in general doesn't have great public transportation. It is affordable and reliable for students and everyone.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): For Marketing, very limited jobs are available as most companies don't want to sponsor especially in this economy. It is very much luck dependent, even though having a STEM degree helps but mostly it's about choosing the right subjects and having the right experience.
