Master of Science in Marketing - Batch of 2026
4.4
Fantastic college that outshines most of the popular private universities.
Tips: There is a cultural difference. People coming from India will need time to adjust to Austin and the US. UT offers a scholarship along with your admission letter. You can still mail and apply, but the success rate is very low. I earned a scholarship of 5000 with my admission letter. The best way to get a scholarship is to apply in the first round. I am very satisfied with the university, still adjusting to the country. I would say the course is good, but it's very important to know that it is more analytical than described on the website.
Likes (Public transportation): UT students can use all the public transportation in Austin for free. The bus services are great and are mostly on time. The bus services cover all the major areas of Austin that students would like to visit. Even if you have a guest coming over, the bus pass is also very affordable.
Dislikes (Part time work): This is a 10-month course, and due to this, there is no option for TA/RA/Internship. There are many part-time opportunities, but due to a very tight schedule, student of this course cannot do most of them. The ones we can do are for PTS (Parking and Transportation Services) and Dining. The average pay is $14.

While play is emphasised as much as work, you are expected to do your best in assignments and projects to be taken seriously.

Interesting and diverse.
Tips: Texas is a very unique city offering all aspects of the American life in one place. The cost of living is reasonable compared to other states, but securing on-campus housing is a task. You can skip the orientation; it's not that useful anyway, but make sure your housing is sorted and that you have a functioning account. The international students mixer is where I found my friends.

Tips: Students should know that they might get a temporary culture shock but that will not unnecessarily be a bad thing as people here might come off as more blunt or transparent but they are also equally kind and helpful. Talk to your supervisors and interact in classrooms. Campus life is also very educative and you are bound to learn a lot.

You won't learn significantly more than you did during your bachelor's degree in India.
Tips: I got bicentary global futures scholarship, the allowance is 8000 pounds. I am not satisfied with the course, country and university; they don't consider the difficulties that international students face. I believe education in India is far better than in the UK.
Likes (Public transportation): It is connected very nicely; there are trams and buses. It's expensive if you compare it to India. The prices increase every year. It's convenient to walk and then take the bus. If you travel in larger groups, take a cab, and you can split the same amount. The bus fare is 2 pounds one way.
Dislikes (Internships): You just get guidance for resume making, but you have to find and apply by yourself. No relevant internships. They dont take international students at all. You will see that all the Britishers of your class are getting it but not you as an international student.

Strong faculty, academically inclined, but poor career support.
Tips: Manchester + Uom genuinely changed me. I'd lived abroad in Sweden before, so moving countries wasn't new, but Manchester hits different. Manchester feels different, cloudy, social, and full of character. Living here has made me more patient and open-minded just by living in such a diverse place. It is also super safe compared to India, and that safety unlocks a new kind of confidence; you start feeling like the world is your playground. I become more independent, more secure in my own style, and more me. Day-to-day is very "Oxford Road main arc" where life circles lectures, library, coffee runs, and constantly running into people because the whole stretch is basically student central. When I am not in lectures, I am mostly hiking around speak district, people watching around NQ, or on my way to inhale food on Curry Mile. And the rain is super annoying at first, but as you go through the seasons, you go from gloomy to romanticising the rain, where later on you huddle up and imagine yourself as an indie movie character. Academically, the University of Manchester is strong. For data Science, a lot of teaching staff are from other departments, so they are genuinely experts in their fields. All the professors are warm and welcoming in general. I would suggest the university for students who want to pursue further studies. A lot of students secured partial and full ride schlorhsip, especially within the school of engineering and AMBS. Overall, being in university is strong academically, but there is not much support career wise 70% of the class always move back home, and the rest struggle due to international passports and strict government regulations. Even though I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here, I think it is a better option to apply in the EU or Australia.
Dislikes (Internships): The University of Manchester has a dedicated careers centre but the support feels more like it only exists in theory. The practical support available for postgrad students seeking internships is limited in effectiveness. The opportunities are mostly available to students who already carry relevant work experience (2+ years) in their home country or are British passport holders. Many capable fresh college graduates struggle to secure a job despite making active efforts. There are no readily available internships; the university does have some programs in different schools, such as engineering or medicine but again these resources are mostly centred around undergrad students.

The city is well connected.
Tips: The culture is a bit different but one can easily adapt to it. I did not avail any scholarship for this course. It's a self learning course, the professors help with the work but the majority of the work is expected to be done by the student. This is a bit different from the learning structure in India.
Likes (Public transportation): The city is well connected. Bus is the cheapest mode of transportation 5-6 for an entire day. There are many reliable alternatives as well, in case of schedule changes due to weather, strike, etc. The transport system is very efficient for students.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Current changes in government might influence the route to ILR. Once someone lands a sponsorship, the route to ILR is quite straightforward. Would recommend students to have a look at the roles that are currently in demand before picking their course/specialisation.

Great experiences, vibrant city and a good student culture.
Tips: For my particular course which was the MBA, it is vital to have solid work experience. This is important for doing well in the course and for getting a job later. -There are many cultural differences as compared to India, but a student will experience them only when they arrive here. You need to be more outgoing as compared to India, be able to hold conversations with a barista of a coffee shop as well as a director in a company. Manchester is very diverse and is a wonderful city for students, very vibrant, very happening and not as expensive. I was awarded a scholarship of 7000 GBP based on my work experience and GMAT score. I was awarded this by the university and did not apply for it separately. Very satisfied with everything, I believe this is the best value for money MBA among the top business schools in the UK.
Likes (Safety): Manchester is a safe town, in general UK is quite safe. I have been around the city at 3 AM too and never felt unsafe. There are probably one or two streets where I would not venture out alone at night but for the most part it is safe. I have never had any bad incidents. The most popular crime that takes place is phone snatching, but there is a very easy solution to this, which is not to use your phones while walking on the street.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Various global cuisines are available in Manchester which is the most vibrant city in the UK outside of London. Indian food options are quite limited/average compared to other UK cities. I usually prefer cooking myself but occasionally eat out too.

Excellent and friendly university.
Tips: The University of Manchester is excellent. It is filled with people who are there to help you, and you have the freedom to explore your hobbies. I adjusted quite well with everyone and did not experience much cultural shift. I received an academic scholarship worth 7,000. If you are eligible, the university takes you into consideration without having to apply. I am quite satisfied with the university and the country. However, I would have liked it if the course had been paced more effectively and we had been taught more relevant material.
Likes (Indian Food): It is a cultural hub and you can find any cuisine quite easily. Especially in Manchester there is a street called Curry Mile which has shops from India, Pakistan and even Middle Eastern countries. The pricing varies from shop to shop. I prefer cooking my food because it allows me to put as much spice in the food as I want.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I'm not sure how many companies offer sponsored visas, but there are quite a few. Sponsorship is not based on the role; however, roles in AI and data Science see more sponsorship. For a sponsored role, your salary should be above 32,000 GBP while junior roles tend to start from 24,000-26,000 GBP.

The city of living is less than London but high nonetheless.

Maintain your work life balance.
Tips: Studying here has increased my exposure and growth, and Manchester is a very multicultural place so you'll meet people from all around the world. The classes are intense but you can adjust the schedule accordingly. My program is more research oriented than I had imagined. People are friendly but reserved.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Securing a job is increasingly difficult but I've observed individuals finding employment after months or even years of searching. Ensure your permit is valid and allows you to stay in the country post-graduation.

Tips: The programs are based on industry relevance and require analytical thinking. You will need to be more active in class if you want your education to be meaningful here, as there is a no nonsense approach to academics. Be prepared for the competition after university as placements are active around that time. Make sure your portfolio helps you stand out.

Good university where different culture meets.
Tips: The University of Manchester is a good place to experience different cultures because students from different cultures and countries come there. Some scholarships have to be applied for 7 months before the university starts and the university has professors from different countries and experiences. There are career guidance and CV preparation guides available at the University. However the UK job market is tough for international students, so finding an internship or job takes many applications and rejections. Unfortunately, there are no internships available for Master's students.
Likes (Indian Food): There are plenty of restaurants for every taste including Indian, Chinese, Italian and Middle Eastern cuisine as well as popular fast food joints like Subway, McDonald’s and Domino’s. However dining out at these establishments can get expensive and I personally find it much more cost effective to cook my meals.

Amazing university in a great city with friendly, welcoming and fun-loving locals.
Tips: The hardest part at the beginning was food. I did not know how to cook many things, but I adapted. Most people I know from India chose to live in catered halls to avoid this problem, and some knew how to cook. Living and taking care of yourself also comes as a cultural shock, you need to do your own cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, etc. Have an open mind, and you'll be fine. There are lots of part-time jobs available, but you have to put in the effort to look for those. Most jobs hire on a casual basis, which means they are flexible, and you can assign shifts based on your studies. The university also has many part-time roles available. Most pay is minimum wage on an hourly basis. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Internships): Securing an internship comes more down to personal skills rather than what university you attend. Most big companies use a holistic assessment approach to select candidates. It is important to be focused from the very start, join societies, and get some part-time work. This will surely help. The university has a brilliant careers service which you can use.

Enriching academic and cultural experience at UoM.
Tips: When you come to the university you can expect a cultural shift and a need to adapt to independent living. Engaging with your fellow students and the university as a whole will help you adjust to academic rigour and cultural diversity. The faculty at this college is highly knowledgeable, supportive and experienced. The professors are approachable and provide prompt email responses. The focus on practical applications is effective and engaging. The faculty comes from diverse backgrounds which brings a global perspective to the classroom. I am highly satisfied with my course, university and the UK's cultural richness.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The Indian food options in Manchester are decent but not always authentic. There are two types of restaurants in the locality budget friendly ones like Bundobust and Chaiwala where a meal costs 7-10 pounds per person and mid-range ones like Dishoom and Mowgli where a meal costs 15-25 pounds per person. I usually cook my own meals.

Diverse and culturally rich university with a lot of internal opportunities.
Tips: The University of Manchester is a diverse and culturally rich university with a lot of internal opportunities. The course content is good and designed for students with at least a year or two of experience in the field of study. The university is recognized globally and has a good reputation. Student diversity is above 90%. Different types of scholarships are available so students can apply for international scholarships.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The quality of teaching and the professors at this university are fabulous. The professors are very experienced in their subject of teaching. They are from different countries and have studied at top-tier universities. They also have ground-level experience in their fields. In addition, the faculty is very helpful and provides support for assignments.
Dislikes (Internships): The university does not provide internships. You have to find one on your own time outside of study hours. Also, it is difficult to manage a part-time job, your classes, assignments, and coursework because the courses are intense and you have classes three to four days a week.

Good college with amazing experience.
Tips: I was awarded a scholarship that provided a tuition discount. I applied for the scholarship online, and the process was straightforward. There were some cultural adjustments, but the large Indian population made the transition easier. I am very satisfied with the University of Manchester, the course I took, and the country itself.
Likes (Public transportation): The city is well connected by bus and trams and has multiple railway stations. Cabs are also easily available. The campus is in the centre of the city, so it is well-connected. It is also a walking distance from the city centre. Public transport is very affordable and they offer passes too.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It all depends on whether you've got a job or not, and whether the company wants to sponsor a visa or not. The chances of permanent settlement are pretty slim as of now given the global scenario and slim job market. But if given a chance, I would like to settle in the UK, barring some cities.

A break from the corporate world with preparation for the real world.
Tips: There definitely is a cultural shift here that we face, and it is much better than home so it won't be an issue settling down. We should be prepared for the hard work. The university rankings matter but not a lot, so you are mostly on your own. There is no placement department or anything like that, so we are ourselves responsible for job hunting and everything, and as in every other country, it's not that easy to get a job. 
Likes (Student Life): The college community/student union has a lot of activities planned throughout the year, which really helps us lay off some streams from all the studies. Festivals, especially big ones like Diwali/Holi, are a lot of fun as all students get together and have fun. Student clubs are fun, but I wasn't able to participate a lot given the course structure and assignments. 
Dislikes (Part time work): There are part-time options available, but the course is a little tiring, which leaves very few windows for working. Having said that, there is a lot of competition given the number of students and dependents, so it is also hard to get a part-time job. Also, because of this competition, employers, specifically restaurants, exploit the students by paying them cash in hand, which is much lower than the minimum wage. But yes, I have a few friends who got a good part-time job, but such examples are pretty low.

Lots of opportunities available for career growth and development.
Tips: Student should be clear about the course modules of their chosen programme. They should book the accommodation well in advance before coming to the city to avoid any last minutes inconveniences. They should check for various scholarships and apply on priority basis. They should be in touch with Indian Society of Manchester which organises social meetings for upcoming students.
Likes (Indian Food): Manchester offers a wide variety of cuisines, particularly South Asian cuisines. Its super convenient with regards to food as the city offer cuisines, snacks and local food items for their daily life style. Manchester has so many interesting cafes to visit which adds so much value to your student life experience.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): In the UK permanent immigration and settlement options are quite difficult due to government policies. The company hiring you as an employee needs to sponsor your visa which is an expensive and lengthy process for the company. However, if a student manages to get a job in the UK it is considered a better option as the lifestyle, career growth and future opportunities there are better than India.
