Great place to study and work.
Tips: The weather is one thing in which you experience the change as well as the lifestyle of the people around you. Also, the language is also the barrier that these people have with the accents of here. I got the scholarship of 3500 GBP which was a great help that was availed at the time of admission. It is mentioned in the CAS letter. I am very satisfied with my course and future opportunities in the country.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transport in Cardiff is very good and timely. It has a day pass option as well, which is nice. Another great feature they have is the public transport app, which tells you which buses go where, and their departure and arrival times. As far as price goes, it's reasonable -- not too cheap, not too expensive. I think it's about 4.5 GBP per day.
Dislikes (Internships): As far as the internship part is concerned, the student union helps students get jobs, but we have to be adequately skilled. Also, the Student Future department helps students. However, this assistance is only provided because students are also supposed to eagerly look for jobs, but this assistance doesn't always come through because the opportunities are limited. Therefore, you need to be patient.

Multidimensional experience and advanced concepts.
Tips: You will feel lonely and it is hard to adjust but know that the university has a lot of services and resources to help you adjust better. Try and be more social in the first few weeks to break inhibitions and join social for the first year as much as possible. The university is known to have a good student community and it stands by it. There is something for everyone on the campus from club nights to arts and crafts events. Very buzzing campus. The city centre is vibrant and has many activities to do. It is not impossible to find part-time work in the city, but it is difficult. You need to look in the right places. You can look for opportunities on or off campus. In the city centre, there are many opportunities for casual or permanent work. Overall, I am certainly satisfied with my experiences.

Open minded, understanding and student friendly university.
Tips: The course is very interesting, and I am enjoying the variety of modules that help me understand the field in and out. However, the on-campus accommodation is very expensive, very far from the university, and very small. I would highly recommend taking off-campus accommodation, either student housing or private accommodation, as they are more spacious and price-friendly. I also received a scholarship for my first year of 2000 pounds. Scholarships are available for all years of study, provided you score first class. The country is not very welcoming, the locals are racist, and the weather is always depressing. You rarely see the sun. I am satisfied with my university experience at Cardiff University.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The professors at Cardiff University are very nice and always willing to help students. They are approachable if you schedule an appointment in advance. However, unlike in India, where students are used to being spoon-fed every detail before an assignment, here you are expected to do your own research and then come up with your own solution. This approach helps develop critical thinking and patience, which I appreciate and find to be a unique aspect of this university. On the downside, the faculty is not very diverse; they are all white, with no black, Chinese, or Indian professors.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): It is very difficult to get a job in the media field as a fresher. None of the companies were willing to offer me a job unless I got a work visa. The average salary offered by the company in this field is 24,000, which is not enough at all. Many jobs for administration and part-time bartenders and waitresses are being offered, but only a few professional jobs are available. Hardly any company would give you a job for who you are as an international student. If you're extraordinarily smart and confident, you might land a few interviews. But none of the companies want to give a chance to international students.

Fun and filled with challenges!
Tips: Everything depends on your mindset and willingness to adjust, its not gonna be easy at all! Every course has some scholarships for international students. There will be lots of cultural shifts, they will change you as a person. I am satisfied with the course/country 7.5 on a scale of 1-10.
Likes (Post study jobs): Not many companies would want to give you a sponsored visa if you don't have work experience in the UK depending on your niche, sponsored jobs can vary from 4-6% (i.e only that % of your course strength might actually land in a sponsored job).
Dislikes (Part time work): In this economy and high rate of immigrants, finding a job part-time isn't that easy. It might take you a few months 3-6 depending on your applications and effort. You can earn about 700-800 3 per month if you work 20 hrs per week. Very manageable with studies if you're a hard worker.

An incredible space of learning and growth.
Tips: It is very different from what I learned and how I used to learn. I was prepared for a fast-paced learning environment where the focus was on practical applications rather than theory. Learning in this way was difficult at first, but I did get used to it eventually. One area of difficulty was the scholarship. I didn't get one, so I had to pay for all of my education expenses. People are more reserved in public, but they're very warm once you get to know them. Also, try to look out for accommodation as soon as you land. Besides, the faculty is highly knowledgeable, approachable and supportive. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
