MSc Finance in Corporate and International Finance - Batch of 2025
4.0
You'll Grow exceptionally
Tips: There are no work placements, Durham is very isolated city peaceful and quite. There will be cultural differences like accents, behaviour. A bit hard to find Part-time Jobs. Scholarships depend on Course. Overall, very satisfied with course & Place.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The coursework is very rigorous, faculty approach is very easy with proper appointments. There are practical workshops apart from classroom teaching. The faculty is widely diverse with my professors were from, UK, Greece, China, Slavic for 4 modules.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): From Finance careers, there is alumni networks in almost every Financial services firm. Although the maximum opportunities are for undergrad programs. Investment Banking roles can attract a minimum pay of at least £80K, Mid & Back office £38K-£45K!!!

A rewarding academic journey with real life skills.
Tips: I just grew into myself. I learned life skills like cooking, laundry and learned to handle my expenses better. I didn't avail any scholarships. Very satisfied, good course, learned 2-3 new modules which are actually good for practical uses in my business. The country is very amazing, be it culture, people are very hospitable, peaceful and beautiful. Durham, especially, I found to be one of the safest cities in the UK.
Likes (Value for money): We had top tier faculty and a wide range of facilities at the business school. Business school itself was a state of the art facility where we had meeting rooms, presentation rooms, faculty meetings, bloomberg terminals and lecture halls. Communication with the university and faculty was really feasible and they helped with the queries with best of their ability.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I didn't apply for the job so I am unaware of the post study sponsored jobs. But from what I have heard from my fellow mates, the UK's job market is very bad at the moment so even getting a job is difficult and sponsored is difficult.

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.

MSc Marketing - Batch of 2025
3.8
It is really difficult to obtain permanent residency.
Tips: A lot of things changed. I got to know different cultures and accents, which were quite difficult to understand at the start. Upon that you might face discrimination at work place as they be bias towards their own people, even if they are wrong, telling out of their own experience. I got 7500 scholarships from the university; it totally depends on how early you apply and get selected, as there are very limited numbers. The university was really good and the course was ranked 30th in the world. Overall, it was a really good experience, learned a lot of things, and no regrets.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It’s really difficult to obtain permanent residency as the ILR rule has changed and there’s no certainty that even after spending 5 years, you will get ILR. If I’ve to talk about myself I won’t get settled over here won’t mind to spend few years but not permanently as for me the place was a bit depressing as the whole Durham place is only surviving due to university if the term break starts we hardly get to see people as the students go back to their countries and it feels like you are living somewhere out of the world.

MSc in Finance (Finance and Investment) - Batch of 2024
3.9
Diverse and friendly campus environment.
Tips: I didn't receive a scholarship, which is difficult to receive. I transitioned well. I made friends with people belonging to various ethnicities and races. Everyone speaks English. A cultural shift was taking the bus and walking quite a bit. You could roam at 1 and 2 am and it'll still be safe.
Likes (Student Life): I got to meet a lot of people belonging to different ethnicities and got to explore their cultures. We have a collegiate system so they regularly organise cultural fairs and have lots of fun activities and sports that we can collectively play.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I personally prefer cooking for myself as I feel it has more value for money than eating out every time. Plus, I was a bit health conscious so I did not want to eat raw meat. They had many affordable restaurants like River View Kitchen, Cafedral, etc.
