LLM International Commercial and Business Law - Batch of 2026
2.9
Getting exposure for a job and internship in your study course is very difficult.
Tips: The university and faculty members are good; whenever we need their assistance, they are there to assist us. If you think that you will earn while learning, that will not be possible here, like in some other countries. But if you have made up your mind to study, then this is a good university. The course I am still doing, and based on the theoretical knowledge alone, I think no law firm will take me here. Overall, it has been a good experience to be a part of the University of East Anglia.
Likes (Safety): Safety is not an issue for me. I have never faced any issue till today. Here on campus as well as off campus, you can easily go out at any time, anywhere. Safety-wise, it's a good city. No one cares about or judges you, whatever or wherever you want to go and do. People are also calm and polite. No one pokes you or says anything if you are going alone, either. Safety is good. The majority of places have CCTV cameras, and police patrolling can be seen as well. Especially on weekends, there's police presence near pubs, clubs, and on main roads. I have not heard any nuisance related to safety till now.
Dislikes (Part time work): It's really manageable to work off-campus. Time management is never a problem for me. But the first three months after reaching the UK, it's difficult to get work. I approached everywhere but couldn't find it. On campus, I applied but couldn't find any work. The average payout is 12 pounds per hour. It depends company to company and where you are working. I think the UK has to generate more job opportunities for students who are coming in the hope of exploring their professions and getting international exposure. Here, getting exposure and/or a job and internship in your study course is very difficult. I met with many students and people who are working post-study. The majority have not utilised their studies as they are not getting a job in their field, and after many rejections, they do any work to earn basic expenses.

The university is great and provides good internship opportunities.
Tips: Before joining the University of East Anglia for an M.Sc. in business and management students should be aware of the diverse and inclusive campus culture. Transitioning to UEA often involves adjusting to a collaborative and research-oriented environment. Many students experience a cultural shift, and new perspectives and lifestyles scholarships are available. I received one by applying to the universities on online portals with allowances covering some part of my tuition fee. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with UEA's academic rigour faculty and the vibrant city of Norwich, making it a great choice for international students.

Beautiful campus, and great faculty. A huge library and a great student support team.
Tips: Prefer to stay on the University campus, it is easy to attend classes and you will not be disturbed by the unnecessary hustle-bustle of landlords. Please be prepared with your finance (university fees + at least 6 months of expenses) and do not rely on getting this sorted with a part-time job.
Likes (Safety): The City of Norwich is safe and peaceful with ample security, and almost zero crime rate and you even girls will not hesitate to walk even on the dark road at 2 AM. Transportation is available till midnight and it is easy to commute from one place to another.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Getting sponsorship post-PSW is a challenge as it becomes difficult for organisations to prove your worth, especially for general courses like engineering and management. PSW is for two years and you need to prove your worth in that period to get the sponsorship. The research field has better chances for settlement.

Good future after studying here.
Tips: Come to study, do not just focus on work, learn from faculty and network well. Build your local knowledge and communication skills. Also, try to work in the field of your experience, that will be really helpful. Also, meet people from different countries and network.
Likes (Internships): You get jobs and networking opportunities easily. Also, if you are smart and have a good command over language then you can really establish yourself. Make sure to come here with good written, spoken and listening skills in the language as it is helpful.
Dislikes (Public transportation): At night, it is difficult to travel. There are very limited travel options, however, if you rent or have an electric scooter then it becomes easy for you. A taxi is expensive, however, the bus is convenient for that travel until midnight. Otherwise, rail transport is also good.

Good university to study in UK for masters
Tips: I got the M.Sc. training scholarship which was partially funded and I received a waiver of 5000 GBP on my tuition fee. There are many scholarships meritorious students can even get 10000 pounds off depending on luck as well. I like this university and everyone is helpful. Faculty and student bodies are all good.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation has no problems. Single line system and inter-changing is not required. I prefer the bus to go to my college as my accommodation is not far. I have gone to London, it took me 2 hours and 15 minutes to reach there by train. It is also very cheap which I like but not that much as compared to some other European countries.
Dislikes (Part time work): The university has many jobs but I don't know why they do not give it to students who are already studying there. In other universities, students get the job but here they bring others to do it and not the students which I didn't like. Outside the college jobs are available, hourly rate is 12 pounds don't work for something less than as some students have been made to feel foolish.

The university is good, still need to improve in the practical analysis
Tips: Students coming should be aware that it is going to be tough. However, the quality of faculty and teaching standards are higher than other nearby universities. Faculty members are supportive but some of the subjects need a bit more practical topics. Lastly, students should come prepared, try to get in touch with a few students from your course.
Likes (Post study jobs): Considering this is one of the top rated colleges in the UK, it provides practical exposure compared to other colleges located in the area.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The facility in the college is good and highly talented. Most of them were Ph.D. professors and they were very friendly and answered all our questions. And most importantly the knowledge they possess is very valuable and most of them were very polite.

UEA Norwich, UK - A hidden gem for students
Tips: Be open to meet students from other countries and cultures, respect other people's space and don't forget to socialize. There are multiple scholarships and grants available which are not very hard to avail. I'm fairly satisfied with the course structure and had a really good time at university and Norwich is a quite peaceful and green city. On-campus lake is a big plus.
Likes (Safety): Student union is there for any other issues, local people are quite friendly and I personally never had any safety issues or never heard of any security-related issues from anyone around. Norwich is a quite safe and scenic city, the cost is nearby and often it costs 32 to get to the beach which is quite cheap over there. You will find people very friendly towards Indians and Indian food. If you know how to cook, you can make friends very easily. There is a strong drinking culture there but still safe for everyone. There are frequent awareness programs for students to prevent any non-international harassment.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Currently UK is not in a good phase and not providing a lot of sponsored jobs, value of university is good though. I'm currently working in India because of my personal circumstances but you can definitely move and live in the UK. Just don't forget to skill up and go for practical knowledge. Books and exams give us the foundation but it takes more than that to get a good job.

Overall a good university and great support
Tips: It is better to stay on campus accommodation as you will have update regarding what is happening in the university. A lot of activities are conducted to bring unity. The only problem is for the vegetarians as there are not many options available. Also, it is advised to study the module details and try to reach out to any seniors who studied the same course.
Likes (Public transportation): Bus accessibility is high. Till late at night we have access. 2 buses run from the university to the city centre which is at very high frequency. Cab services are highly priced so it's better to avoid that. University is not far from the market place and everything is available on the campus.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The expectations from the students at least in technical jobs are quite high. Initially, we will find it difficult as the system is new to us. But building a network helps you get and survive in the jobs. You need to have strong knowledge to get a job here.

University has different departments that can deal with your every problem. Staff reply to emails quickly. They are always available to solve your problem. You can ask a question to them any time.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Food is too costly. Many food outlets close in the evening so it is difficult to get food at night time. The cost of food is high. The same food item has a different price in different food outlets. Indian food is rarely available. Transport is costly to bring groceries.

Dream college where you can make your career
Tips: Students should know about their coursework as well as placements prospects of the field. Apart from that they should check about course curri and exam pattern which will be helpful for students as the exams here are different from the ones in India. The library is also 24/7 365 days available. You can book a private room also in the library to study. My overall experience is good and satisfied with this college.
Likes (Part time work): Avg Payout : 11 GBP. Depend on your job and company and sometimes on a bank holiday you will get double payment. Go to career central and apply for part job. It is very easy to manage and mostly you should prefer Sunday weekend shift. So part time jobs are easily available.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Less possibilities at this moment as per the government rules and regulations. About PR, it will take more than 5 to 7 years. So in the country PR chances are very less. But if you get some good opportunity then might be good to get PR. So during the study you have to focus on study and once you get a good job and the company will offer you sponsorship then your chances of PR will increase.

Tips: It's better to know everything before and I don't think UEA is a bad option. I would strongly recommend it to upcoming students. Students need to know about the place where the university is so that they can get to understand the job opportunities over here.
Likes (Safety): Norwich ranks in top 5 cities in the UK. Wherever you go you can go safely and return back, people are very free with us and helpful, and the university has safety support and they care about everything. Which makes us feel that we are safe and protected. The university accommodation is also safe.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer eating Indian food but we barely get Indian groceries. And it's very expensive country but still, it's fine, if we can manage to cook. Few Indian groceries are available so we can get some time to cook and have good food. Sometimes we can try new cuisines outside. .

Our university is very supportive and friendly. University has very good name locally and overall.
Tips: I faced a bit of a cultural shift after coming here like food, dress, language and many more. I got a standard scholarship for Indians which was fixed and if you are an Indian you will get the scholarship by default. I'm really happy with the university and the course which I'm doing and after a few months I really started liking this country and the city.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): I would prefer to settle here as I started liking this city a lot and I will be getting two years of post-graduation work permit. Hence there are chances to get settled over here. There are a lot of job opportunities available here in this country. Also, the university is supportive of us if we apply to their career centre.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Even though food option is less we get all kind of grocery so particularly we won't miss much. There are few restaurants from our country of origin like Namasthe Village restaurant charge more than market price but the quality of food is authentic. I prefer cooking myself to eating outside as it's too expensive and less option for vegetarians.

Tips: University of East Anglia is a reputable institution that provides students with a range of academic, social and professional opportunities. By understanding what UAE has to offer students can make an informed decision about whether it is the right university.
Likes (Indian Food): There are many retail shops that sell Indian-origin or Asian food in Norwich. As well as restaurants owned by Indian or South Asian people are very popular like; Namaste Village, Spice valley. Here one can get vegetarian and non-vegetarian options easily.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Public transport in some areas is not convenient or accessible enough to travel regularly. This is due to infrequent services and longer wait times. A major concern is that most of the routes connect via the city centre and one needs to change the bus at the city centre.

Tips: Be ready to adapt to a new culture. People are nice and welcoming but you have to be careful of the surroundings. As small incidents happen everywhere. However, everything is a new experience and be careful of the privacy of others as they love it when you value it.
Likes (Safety): University people are always present if you have any issues. Be it related to finance or mental peace, they have dedicated teams for all of this and even they do support in every possible way. You can contact them regarding any issue and they are more than happy to help.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Restaurants are expensive and I like to eat at home. Eating outside is costly as you have to pay in pounds and be ready to cook everything at home. If not, you can choose to eat frozen food which is also a nice thing to do as it costs less and is also good everywhere.

The faculty is highly trained and internationally recognised.
Tips: Before joining Durham, students should know it's quite academically intense, especially for subjects like archaeology or history. There is a big shift from rote learning, as in most universities in India, to independent thinking. You are expected to read a lot, form your own arguments and participate in events and class projects. The collegiate system is a huge part of life here; all colleges have their own events, societies, living halls, and bars that form your main social experience. Durham is a small town, so coming from big cities like Delhi or Mumbai can be tough, but bigger cities like Newcastle and Edinburgh are not far away. There are many scholarships available at the university or college level. I did receive an international merit scholarship on tuition fees, some bursaries cover academic and conference-related expenses and full scholarships that cover everything from tuition to living. Overall, my experience has been very rewarding. The academic exposure, quality of teaching, and research opportunities are excellent. Of course, the weather and cost are challenges, but growth on both academic and personal fronts makes it worth it.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is highly trained and internationally recognised; they are experts in their fields and teach not just from textbooks but also from their real-world experience. They are also extremely helpful and can be visited during their office hours and they would definitely go out of their way to help and build your concepts as well as just talk when needed.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Durham is a small university town in northern England; thus, authentic Indian food options are limited. There are some Indian restaurants, but they are hardly authentic. However, you will get all ingredients in Tesco and other stores as well as plenty of off-license and desi stores to make anything from scratch. Tesco does have an indian section where you will get a lot of things as well.

Business school itself was a state of the art facility where we had meeting rooms, presentation rooms, faculty meetings, bloomberg terminals and lecture halls. Communication with the university and faculty was really feasible and they helped with the queries with best of their ability.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I didn't apply for the job so I am unaware of the post study sponsored jobs. But from what I have heard from my fellow mates, the UK's job market is very bad at the moment so even getting a job is difficult and sponsored is difficult.

An amazing university with great facilities.
Tips: Students should know the reality of not a lot of people being able to get a job after completing the course. It is a really tough period for the students who take up huge loans and work part time there to repay the loan and end up not getting a job. Think twice before joining.

This University is a good choice.
Tips: The university is well recognised amongst the recruiters in the UK. The programs are very well structured and the professors are very helpful. However, the Durham as a city is very dull. There is not much to do around. There are very less opportunities for part-time jobs because the city is so small. The 1st month in Durham is very difficult as the city is very cold, windy and hilly. You will have to walk a lot on inclined paths. So it is better to be mentally and physically prepared for that.
Likes (Safety): People around the city are very helpful. There are porters in every college to help students whenever needed. I have hardly faced any kind of racism from the people around me. The university has a night line for the female students to drop them to their destination late at night at a very low price of 2 pounds.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are hardly 2-3 Indian restaurants in Durham and the food is not that great. The taste doesn’t justify the high prices. Cooking on my own is so much more affordable and satisfying. The ingredients are easily available around the city. There is only one Indian grocery store though.

Overwhelming, challenging and beautiful
Tips: Students should know the essence of Durham is concerned with staying in college accommodation which offers a sense of community and belonging. Secondly, Durham is a very close-knit and quiet city and the weather is mostly rainy and cold. Thirdly, the course a student selects will get challenging eventually.

4.5
Brilliant overall experience.
Tips: It was a smooth transition, and fellow students and staff were very welcoming and accepting. I didn't feel like an outsider at all. I did not avail any scholarships. I enjoyed every aspect of university, from the course, wider student experience, the city, and the people I met.
Likes (Part time work): Many part time opportunities are available on campus, such as Student Ambassador, etc as well as off campus. Many students manage to secure part time roles through alumni support even before stepping on campus, which ensures a smooth transition. Most students find that managing their academic workload alongside part time work can be quite stressful, but given that students can only work 20 hours a week, with good planning and scheduling, it's definitely manageable.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Public transport is good during the day and this is not an issue when living in college student halls. But buses typically stop running at around 11 pm and start by 6:15 am. So, during this window, if someone wants to get home from a student event and live off campus, the only options are taxis or friends who have cars or bicycles. Students have the option to avail the student day pass for 2.60 within Durham and nearby zones, which allows multiple trips in those zones using the same pass. The Durham Railway Station is well connected to London, Newcastle, and Edinburgh which can all be reached on direct trains making wider travel connectivity very simple and accessible. The nearest international airport is in Newcastle, around 30 minutes by taxi from central Durham.

There is a career support center to guide for opportunities.
Tips: The cultural shift that I experienced was that people mostly got put out of their homes only on weekends and everything closes by 5. I was given a scholarship of a certain amount on my tuition fees by the university for my course. I am satisfied with the university, course and country.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus was well connected to the rest of the city since it was a small town and public transportation was easily accessible. Everyone mostly preferred being on foot and exploring the city and also go to the classes on foot. For the students, public transportation is affordable.
Dislikes (Internships): There is a career support centre to guide. They help you with reviewing your CV by telling if the ATS will go through it or not and guiding which place would be best suited to apply for the same. There are a few available internships relevant to my field of study. Not in the city specifically but can be anywhere in the UK.
