MSc Business Analytics - Batch of 2023
3.8
There are lots of student clubs at the university that are quite interesting.
Tips: There was a cultural shift, but UK doesn’t make you feel like that because of the diverse community. You won’t miss out on anything here. Unfortunately, I couldn’t avail any scholarship because I applied late. A lot of my friends did get scholarships up to 100%.
Likes (Student Life): There are a lot of Indian friends you make, so it makes you feel like you’re right at home. I recommend taking student accommodation for this reason. It can be pretty great, in my experience. Plus, there are lots of clubs at the university that are quite interesting. If you’re a cricket fan, you can even play for the university’s team, just like I did.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The teaching faculty consists of more European teachers, and the faculty is accessible upon appointment and quite helpful. I would also say that the coursework is a real asset. When you do that coursework, you grasp all the important concepts, and they are quite helpful during interviews.

MSc Mental Health Research and Practice - Batch of 2024
4
The course is very well designed from point of practical skills and knowledge.
Tips: Prepare well for time management and burnout. Network with all types of people for best results. The course is very well designed from point of practical skills and knowledge. A huge amount of self-study is required to be informed for the growth in the course. The internship structure isn't really a thing, and I have to volunteer for internships to gain experience. While my course has active researchers as teachers and covers various families with case studies, the practice aspect could be better. At the Jubilee campus, the cultural events and student bodies work well to ensure that student life is energised and balanced. The Nottingham environment makes for a great experience, and the staff is always around and kind. Every element needed for well-being is available on the campuses.

Stem Cell Technology and Regenerative Medicine MSc - Batch of 2025
4.1
Great academic exposure and supportive environment for growth.
Tips: Before joining the UoN, I suggest students research their course structure, living expenses, and academic expectations. It's also helpful to connect with current students for firsthand insights. Transitioning to life here is quite challenging and exciting at the same time. From academic style to social interactions, it is a big cultural shift. The classroom environment encourages critical thinking and independent learning, which was very different from my undergraduate experience. Adjusting to the UK's extreme & unpredictable weather and food also took enough time. I didn't avail of any scholarships, but the university offers several merit & need-based options. Many scholarships are listed on the university website, and applying early with a strong personal statement and a good academic record can improve one's chances. Overall, I'm satisfied with my experience so far.

MSc in Food Production Management - Batch of 2020
3.5
A journey of growth and discovery at UoN.
Tips: My study at Nottingham has turned me into a different person with a lot of skills that I lacked before. I am now more confident. I didn’t receive a scholarship, but my course was totally worth every penny I paid. There are a lot of scholarships available, so make sure to apply for them beforehand so you will benefit. My campus was very beautiful and there are a lot of facilities and sport clubs to indulge in to learn new skills. Overall, I am very much satisfied with my course and the UK has become my second home.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is very supportive and always ready to help. The teaching methods include fun games and activities that make it easy to understand concepts. It's a multicultural experience, which will help you grow and learn new skills. You are assigned with a personal tutor who will help you with all your problems. The professors feel like family and are very sweet.
Dislikes (Safety): Some parts of the city were not safe to go alone, especially at night. There were a lot of incidents of abuse reported. In the campus, you are safe, but if you are walking alone outside the campus, make sure to be in groups. Don't carry too much cash.

A worthy experience, academically rewarding and personally insightful.
Tips: While the city centre is busy, the area around the university is quiet, especially compared to India. Also, choose your accommodation carefully because the walk might be longer than expected. The Masters program is short and intensive, so you might feel like you have too much to cover in a short time. The faculty is very knowledgeable and you can get a thorough insight into your paper. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the country, course and university.

Home away from home, just colder.
Tips: The cultural shift was less than expected, but I am an adaptable person so I was fine. I didn't receive any scholarships unfortunately because I applied through the clearing. The course is quite nice, but I wish the country wasn't as cold as it is during the winter.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is really good and easy to use. The campus is well connected with the rest of the city and it is easy to get buses to and from the University as well as to your accommodation. Compared to other cities, public transportation is relatively cheap.
Dislikes (Value for money): It is quite expensive compared to other universities in the country and also compared to other degrees. It is thrice as expensive for international students compared to home students for this specific course, meanwhile, for other courses it's only twice as expensive.

University of Nottingham- Review
Tips: Make a list of everything you need. Plan out your weekly expenses. Stop covering GBP to INR while buying because it would trouble you and would make you conscious of what you are spending. In reality, you cannot help it. These are the basic things you need. Please try to make sure you study more about the course before applying and look at the disadvantage and advantage as well. Don't get swept up by the beauty of the country.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport is always available and easily accessible at any time of the day or night. It's 2 pounds per person but if you buy a group ticket with one or two people, it lessens your expenses and it's better to buy on the app because the ticket would remain for 24 hours.
Dislikes (Internships): Not many internship opportunities during the course. The course does not offer you opportunities per se. It does offer some project-based opportunities though which adds up on your CV but overall there are no hospital-based internships or case studies.

MSc Management - Batch of 2024

3.2
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.
