MSc in Management (International Business) - Batch of 2023
4.3
You will be a different person after you graduate if you plan your goals ahead.
Tips: You will definitely get cultural socks. It's nothing you can't handle. I unfortunately didn't apply for scholarships. My course academically was very generic, but I gained other social skills. If applying for the University of Reading, I would recommend a bachelor's or master's in finance, as Reading is known for its course in finance.
Likes (Quality of faculty): All professors are very friendly; they guide you if you are stuck. Teaching is very professional at the same time very casual; everyone is approachable. Faculty can be diverse, depending on the modules. All the abovementioned will only work if you are interactive and you are willing to speak up. No faculty will come to you and ask unless you approach.
Dislikes (Internships): A lot of guidance is available, and job/internship failures are conducted every now and then. You need to be very patient and need to put in a lot of effort to show uniqueness while applying for a job or internship. Yes, available internships were relevant to my study, as my course can include different industries.

MSc Management - Batch of 2023
4.6
A Welcoming University with Strong Academics and Global Exposure
Tips: Before coming to Reading, you should definitely be ready for how much independent study there is. Nobody’s going to hold your hand, so you really have to stay on top of your own time, especially when it comes to the research stuff and assignments. My transition was not too bad overall but the culture shock at the start was real. The classes here are way more focused on critical thinking than what I was used to back home. Socially, it took me a minute to find my feet, but getting involved in a few uni clubs made a massive difference for making friends. I did look into their scholarships during the application process—they’re mostly based on your grades, and if you get one, it usually just knocks a bit off your tuition, which definitely helps. Honestly, I’m really glad I came. The campus has a great vibe, the tutors are actually supportive, and just living in the UK gives you a ton of perspective. Keeping up with expenses is definitely a struggle, but the whole experience has been 100% worth it.

BSc in International Business and Management - Batch of 2028
3.8
The university performs strongly academically and has a good student life.
Tips: Reading is 45 minutes away from Heathrow airport and 25 minutes from London Paddington. Henley Business School ranks in the top 10 in the UK. Accommodation ranges from 160-375 PW. 93% of HBS students are employed or pursuing further education post-graduation. International tuition fees range between 25000 and 33000 pa depending on the course. 5000+ international students from 160+ countries.
Likes (Public transportation): For prospective students, the main buses needed for transportation in and out of the university will be the 20 and 21 buses, with the 20 acting as a fast-track bus, allowing you to get to university faster and both buses can be taken from the Reading Station upon arrival. The main way to buy tickets will be either by paying contactless on the hop-on-hop off system or by downloading the Reading buses app and buying tickets; if you add your ID on the app, it should allow you access to pay student prices on the app. Usually, an all-day ticket will cost approximately 5 and allows you to get into any buses in the Reading buses network.
Dislikes (Value for money): As a home-paying fee student 9250 PA, I believe the price I pay for the course is justified as it gives me the opportunities and access to build a network, build new skills through writing essays and conducting presentations throughout my assignments and collaborate with a diverse range of people and also gain work experiences via the university's internship scheme and working in the student union.

A life changing decision
Tips: Honestly, the whole experience just shifted my entire outlook. It changed how I look at different industries, sure, but it also made me way more level-headed in how I handle things now. I feel like a completely different person than when I started, and I’m actually really proud of that growth. If you get the chance to do this, you should 100% go for it. xox
Likes (Safety): You’ve got CCTV pretty much all over campus, so walking around never really feels sketchy. Even the area just outside is monitored, which definitely helps you feel more at ease. Honestly, the city as a whole is just incredibly safe and even if you're heading home late at night, you never really get that feeling like you need to keep looking over your shoulder.
Dislikes (Internships): The placement cell helps their best to get internship bit for masters sometimes it gets difficult as you get very less time to apply, But for bachelor’s the support is satisfactory and I have seen majorly everyone getting internship during their bachelorette

MSc Management - Batch of 2026
4.7
Peaceful, exciting yet academically rigorous.
Tips: The major cultural shock was the cold; eventually, people will get used to it. If you have zero skills in cooking my advice is to learn cooking, as ordering online or eating out makes a hole in your wallet. I received a scholarship of 10,000 pounds however there are multiple fully funded scholarships available and I would definitely recommend going through them like Felix Scholarship, Chevning Scholarship, etc. I am 100 percent satisfied with the university however it is 20 minutes from London so if someone really wants to live in the hustle and fast pace environment, I would not recommend this university.
Likes (Public transportation): For our university there is a dedicated bus service which operates 24hours, not only this, but the bus service also has a dedicated bus stop inside the university for easy commute. Affordability is amazing as the university is planning to become net carbon zero so they promote bus services for students and provide bus tickets at a lower price for university students.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): If you look at the chances to settle in the country there are many ways to do so like finding a sponsor, Innovative founder visa for new startups which can contribute to the ecosystem, self sponsorship for someone who wants to set up a business there are multiple routes through which one can find permanent settlement however all these routes are extremely competitive and only the best out of rest can make a good use of it. Looking at it through a political lens tells a very different story, as the new amendments to immigration rules and regulations are still under discussion, and obtaining ILR remains a challenge. There is still an ambiguity whether these will remain the same or it will become impossible for immigrants to settle in the UK. Given a chance to permanently settle in would rather say yes.

Pretty campus and good lessons.
Tips: The campus is extremely vibrant and has some really scenic spots and lakes with a lot of greenery as well. In terms of academics, you will be expected to have an independent approach and a lot of things are assumed to be understood especially certain concepts and fundamentals so remember to be prepared before classes. Critical writing took me a while to grow comfortable with. Good for students.

4.1
Friendly and engaging university.
Tips: Mainly, if you follow the process and instructions, everything will be fine, and self-analysis and approach are important in learning new cultures, and the approach towards study is important. Networking plays an important role abroad; you need to make friends, meet new people and interact with them in terms of any help or opportunities. There is a help desk and friendly staff are there to guide you if you have any queries.
Likes (Student Life): College life was much more engaging and interactive; you get enough time to submit your projects and engage in other cultural activities or clubs and other events but securing a job is tough; it entirely depends on your hard work and self-study and personal projects. There is inclusion and it's a big campus and you can able to access the student library and all software mostly for free and you find all types of food and people from different races as well and friendly too.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Move to the UK if you have enough experience in your current field, maybe around 5 years, if you are planning to study for a master's or want to get PR in the UK. Be skilful and be open-minded to learn new things and networking plays an important role in reaching out to companies' people as much as you can to get a sponsorship role. As there are new laws coming up in 2026 so be prepared to approach it strategically.

A university that gives you education, lovely environment and part time work options as well.
Tips: First, understand what you are going to study, so please look for all the modules in the course. Look for scholarships; there are plenty that you can avail yourself of based on qualifications. I am very satisfied. My faculty is very nice with proper understanding and lab practices.
Likes (Safety): Health and safety are top priorities in the UK, so everywhere, whether it's your class, accommodation or your workplace, they always take care of health and safety as a top priority. Even though it's safe to roam around at any time, there is a club on campus, so it is not required to go out to have fun.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Do not depend on the college. They will not help you with jobs. You need to work hard and find jobs in the current market. It's hard to find a job in your post-study work visa programme, which brings a challenge for individuals, as you need to get a job with a visa as well.

Welcoming, diverse and a fun student space.
Tips: Transition to UOR was super smooth, though there was a cultural difference for sure but the university hosted a lot of events and get togethers that made the university life sorted and very less hectic.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is very appreciative, approachable and always answers questions and have a willingness to come up with new concepts and content in every other lecture, plus it is quite a diverse faculty as well so you don't feel overwhelmed and left out.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I rated 3 because while the UK has a lot of opportunities, staying back is very skill and course dependent. NHS and other skill shortage courses only gives settlements. In marketing, that is really less. Jobs are still there but very less sponsored jobs.

Due to the recession in the UK, only a few companies are offering sponsorships.
Tips: Students should consider whether they can secure a job after graduation. Knowing a European language is a plus point. Check for the scholarship and find any universities offering it, and also the fees, whether it is the same everywhere. Also, investigate placement assistance and the campus environment.
Likes (Quality of faculty): They are nice and approachable. They make sure to understand us, guiding us in all aspects, and they did a very good job with the practicals. Though the British accent is tough to understand for Indians, they will use the tone, which can be easily understood by everyone.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Due to the recession in the UK, only a few companies are offering sponsorships. Packages are generally around 35,000, which is not enough for sponsorship. Keep this in mind if you plan to settle in the UK, as nationality and visa issues can sometimes be a problem.

University of Reading: Home to new experiences! Become bold and confident.
Tips: Be more open to new environments, cultures, and academic styles. Joining different clubs can make the transition easier. Received a scholarship of £4000 by applying to centenary and subject scholarships through the university website. The structure for the course is good but I wish it included more practical work throughout course.
Likes (Indian Food): Lot of options for Indian food, and Indian grocery stores are also available within a reasonable distance. Many restaurants offer Indian food and are also suitable for vegetarians. I was also lucky enough to be able to do part-time in an Indian restaurant as part of the front office.
Dislikes (Internships): Although the university publishes opportunities that are available for students, they are most often not for master’s students and very less opportunities for overseas students. And as an international student, you will not be able to apply for internships due to work permit restrictions.

Tips: I have become a more responsible person once I reached here. In terms of knowledge, I can say I have gained practical experience in different domains which were new to me. I did get a scholarship of 3000 pounds and that was based on my IELTS score and I can say I am fully satisfied with it.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is quite approachable. They give out their time when the students can actually go out to them and ask queries. Diversity in teaching style and methodology is present as various methods are taught for the same subject and it enhances our knowledge.
Dislikes (Internships): In terms of applying for the internships, the help is given by the university. Also Reading being closer to London gives the opportunity to apply for jobs in a wider range of companies and in various domains. Some internships are indeed present in the field of study.

Hardships of the International students in the UK.
Tips: Coming to the UK at this time of recession and spending so much money on university fees is not so worth it. But if money is not a factor for you to worry about and you want to learn more then UOR is great. If you are lucky you might get a job by trying hard. But then the salaries they offer you might not be enough for your monthly survival or what we at least expect to get after completing a degree and spending tons of money.
Dislikes (Indian Food): It is not so easy to find a suitable job in the UK as a graduate even for an entry-level job they expect you to have experience for 3 years and if you find a job then you will need a sponsorship from this company to stay here which is another big challenge.

Genuine Review of my experience
Tips: You can expect the best possible university experience. But you should be prepared to work hard and be independent and self-reliant. Friendly atmosphere, great faculty, excellent laboratory equipment, Great Modules, top class Library, workshops and practical work.
Likes (Public transportation): Public Transportation in Reading is superb. Cheap and readily available. 24/7 bus service to all parts of reading town. There is a bus which will directly take you to the Campus. You will get a bus every 15 minds. You can get bus pass for a week or monthly at affordable price.
Dislikes (Internships): The are guidance available. But there is no placement cell for my department. There are no internships available for students who passed out. That's one issue. We often get job and career fares, but they mostly help us to interact with people from different companies. But they don't really hire you.

Tips: Santa Clara provides a balance of academics and ethics along the way. You can learn a lot if you are proactive and my experience included learning outside of classrooms as well.

Tips: The diversity is commendable and you're sure to find your tribe. There are a number of mental health resources that have been helpful for me and you can take advantage of these as they respect your autonomy and have truly been helpful. I have also observed that our classes focus on social responsibility along with core courses which certainly has impacted the campus in a good way. Moreover, they are strict and responsible for student wellbeing and safety.

Very thankful for the opportunity here.
Tips: I have liked the accommodation and university quite a bit so far but I feel there could have been more options for meal plans especially as I am a vegetarian and it can become tricky to find more options. There are a lot of inter-college games that keep happening and is fun to look forward to. Sign up for a variety of different courses so you can get an organic experience. Overall, I am quite content with my experiences.

Had a great time throughout with great people.
Tips: One of the key reasons why I have joined Santa Clara University is because of the freedom I get to experiment and explore my passion such as the environment by joining the environment club. There are a lot of environment drives and campaigns and you will get a variety of networking opportunities through activities such as this. The faculty here are very helpful, and interactive and will suggest and guide you to take part in several activities to grow. Overall, I am happy with my experience.

Helpful and an engaging experience with dedicated faculty members.
Tips: I was pleasantly surprised at how welcoming and accepting the people both inside and outside of campus are. Because of its popularity, campus can sometimes feel crowded and overwhelming so plan your class schedule and look for peaceful spots on campus. There are lots of events/activities happening so be a part of it. The faculty is great and will help you with any problems. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the course, college and the country.

An overall good university to join
Tips: 1. Part-time job on campus is difficult to find. 2. There are people who help you to find an internship or a job but in the end, you have to search for it. 3. Food options are there for every kind of cuisine, veg, and non-veg as well. And many stores are also nearby.

The city is expensive but beautiful.
Tips: Campus is beautiful as is the city but it's not what it used to be a decade or so ago. Things have changed and a lot of people are moving out because of the lack of jobs and stability especially as an international student. Professors are sympathetic and knowledgable and people around are impressive as well. They can help you out with referrals and recommendations as well. Keep in mind the living costs before committing.
