MBA Full-Time - Batch of 2019

MBA success story: Career Growth, Scholarship & Global experiences

Tips: Yes, great change after the MBA. Got a better job than pre-MBA. Learnt a lot about the cultural shifts as 26 different nationalities were in my class. Yes, they gave me a 6,000-pound scholarship, as I had good previous experience in Gulf countries and scored a 7.5 on IELTS. They gave the scholarship automatically in fees without me asking for it. I am very satisfied with DUBS, the university, and the country.

Likes (Public transportation): The bus network is good. Transportation was affordable to students. I was staying in a university/college hostel itself, which was very close to the MBA campus. So transportation was required, and food was provided there all 3 times each day (Van Mildert College).

Dislikes (Part time work): On campus was less. Part-time is not allowed there as per the visa criteria. UK student visa conditions applicable to my program did not permit part-time employment. As a result, I was unable to undertake part-time work during my MBA course. Focused entirely on my academics.

MA Archaeology - Batch of 2025

3.8

The faculty is highly trained and internationally recognised.

Tips: Before joining Durham, students should know it's quite academically intense, especially for subjects like archaeology or history. There is a big shift from rote learning, as in most universities in India, to independent thinking. You are expected to read a lot, form your own arguments and participate in events and class projects. The collegiate system is a huge part of life here; all colleges have their own events, societies, living halls, and bars that form your main social experience. Durham is a small town, so coming from big cities like Delhi or Mumbai can be tough, but bigger cities like Newcastle and Edinburgh are not far away. There are many scholarships available at the university or college level. I did receive an international merit scholarship on tuition fees, some bursaries cover academic and conference-related expenses and full scholarships that cover everything from tuition to living. Overall, my experience has been very rewarding. The academic exposure, quality of teaching, and research opportunities are excellent. Of course, the weather and cost are challenges, but growth on both academic and personal fronts makes it worth it.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is highly trained and internationally recognised; they are experts in their fields and teach not just from textbooks but also from their real-world experience. They are also extremely helpful and can be visited during their office hours and they would definitely go out of their way to help and build your concepts as well as just talk when needed.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Durham is a small university town in northern England; thus, authentic Indian food options are limited. There are some Indian restaurants, but they are hardly authentic. However, you will get all ingredients in Tesco and other stores as well as plenty of off-license and desi stores to make anything from scratch. Tesco does have an indian section where you will get a lot of things as well.

MSc Management - Batch of 2025

3.8

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.

An amazing university with great facilities.

Tips: Students should know the reality of not a lot of people being able to get a job after completing the course. It is a really tough period for the students who take up huge loans and work part time there to repay the loan and end up not getting a job. Think twice before joining.

MSc Management - Batch of 2024

3.2

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.
