MSc Strategic Marketing Management - Batch of 2025

Offered by Aston University

There are no career fairs and job opportunities.

Tips: I can see many changes in myself after joining Aston University. I have improved a lot, my confidence has improved, my conversation skills and, of course, academically, I've learned a lot. I received a January intake scholarship that was £45000. I am satisfied with my university.

Likes (Public transportation): Aston University's Birmingham campus is well-connected to the city, as it's located in the city centre. This makes it easy to access restaurants, shopping malls, stores, and places to hang out. Cabs, buses, and trains are readily available, and the public transportation system is similar to other UK cities.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The university provides minimal CV assistance. There are no career fairs, and job opportunities seem more abundant for Bachelor's graduates than for Master's students. Furthermore, sponsored jobs are scarce.

4.3

Happy, peaceful and interactive.

Tips: I had a lot of opportunities to work with people from different courses at Aston University. They provide scholarships, and I got about 4,500 for having over 85% in my undergraduate degree. I am very satisfied with my overall experience at the university. It has been a great educational experience. I also appreciate that the courses are offered in the country where the university is located.

Dislikes (Part time work): Getting a part-time job is becoming very difficult due to the increase in students coming abroad. If you get your assignments done on time or before, a part-time job is manageable. However, the payout is currently at the minimum of 12.21, which is the minimum basic pay per the government.

MSc Business Analytics - Batch of 2023

Offered by Aston University

2.8

Totally a new kind of experience.

Tips: I didn't get scholarship, and the transition was difficult at the start but making more and more friends helped me through the college experience, and assignments as well. It is a good course, but I didn't learn any practical skill required for the jobs.

Likes (Student Life): Food options are good, and library and study area are also nice. There is a good option to network with friends. Clubs are there in the university and around the university. We can have a good time with our friends and, also events are always going on at the Aston portals.

Dislikes (Internships): No Internship opportunities are there. Overall, the university has a placement department which helps with resume writing, but they don't help us to get job or internship. We have to do research and apply on our own to get an internship, which is very difficult nowadays.

MSc Data Analytics (including Professional Practice) - Batch of 2023

Student life is amazing. People are understanding and supportive.

Tips: I had a big transition when I moved to the UK, and I became a lot more independent. I learned to live my life strongly. Here, there's room to follow our own culture, but we should also keep in mind that we're in the UK now. We should respect British culture. It's not fair to bring our cultural and religious practices from our home countries and make people uncomfortable. But of course, we can still practice our beliefs as long as we're not imposing them on others. I did receive a 2000-pound scholarship based on my academic background. The university life was so good. It has plenty of events and extracurricular activities, and the students' union during my time was amazing. I took data analytics, which was a really good course. A few months after I graduated, I found a job in that field. Overall, I am highly satisfied with the course, university and the country.

Likes (Public transportation): The university is in the city centre, and there is access to all kinds of transportation within walking distance. Also, buses give special discounts for students, and that is a great thing while we are in university, so we can save some money. In addition, some buses come as frequently as every five minutes, so it's safe as well.

Dislikes (Internships): Internship opportunities are there, but we have to take the initiative to find them. The university won’t hand you an internship. When you begin at the university, there are a lot of career fairs and career support teams. If you use these resources wisely, you’ve got a good shot at getting an internship.

MSc Strategic Marketing Management - Batch of 2024

Offered by Aston University

3.1

The UK currently offers very limited skilled worker visa options for marketing roles.

Tips: Cultural shifts should ideally occur in a foreign land. They were a valuable learning experience, but the university clubs made the adaptation process easier. I secured a part-time job as a Marketing specialist with the assistance of my subject mentor, which paid me the minimum hourly rate. I had higher expectations for my course in terms of academics. While it undoubtedly provided me with theoretical knowledge, it failed to prepare me adequately for the UK job market. The UK job market was relatively stagnant, making it challenging for international students to find jobs during the course and even after graduation. Consequently, we faced financial difficulties due to the high cost of living.

Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation system in this city has great connectivity, whether it’s buses or trains. Once you get the hang of using the apps, it becomes very convenient. The public transport is fairly affordable. There are discounts and cards available for students discount and other types of discounts.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The UK currently offers very limited skilled worker visa options for marketing roles. Pursuing a work visa through study routes is not only extremely costly but also comes with no job guarantee after graduation. I would never consider permanent immigration to the UK, given its current growth rate and job market. I prefer to grow, learn, and build experience in India.
