MSc Marketing and Consumer Behaviour - Batch of 2026

4.5

Public transport in London is absolutely amazing.

Tips: Transitioning after coming here was really easy. It's very easy to meet new people and make new friends as everyone here so social and the university is very encouraging of people from different backgrounds and courses socializing and will even host a lot of events just for that. I got a scholarship of 4000 through the university website. Extremely satisfied with my university, course, faculty and the UK. It's been an amazing experience.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transport in London is absolutely amazing and the most convenient. Bus fare is fairly cheap and affordable and you can get anywhere by spending just 1.75 per trip. Train travel is a bit more on the expensive side but really fast if you want to get somewhere far.

Dislikes (Internships): There aren't many internships that Goldsmiths offers in my field of study, but they do have a lot of opportunities in Fine Arts as it's mainly an art university. Their CareerSPACE portals are really helpful for finding paid or volunteering opportunities.

Ma- Applied Theatre: Drama in Educational, Community and Social Contexts - Batch of 2023

4.1

This place changes the way you see the world.

Tips: The university is very liberal. Everyone finds their space here. Though I’ve lived and worked abroad before, it left me feeling more culturally aware, more opinionated and confident in my thoughts. It connected me deeply to my art. Besides that, London is a fabulous city. Lots of things to do, so much to explore and everyone finds their area of interest.

Likes (Student Life): There are lots of clubs and events for students to mingle with. The campus is huge and very student friendly. The events organised by the student clubs are also great. Lots of opportunities to network and meet new people often. Though a lot of these activities are for Bachelors courses. Masters students usually have so much to do that there’s little time to spend on the campus.

Dislikes (Internships): Unless you have good experience, this course won’t prepare you to find good opportunities. There will be free internships and full support to find those from the university but paid ones are hard to find. There are good networking opportunities though.

MSc Marketing and Consumer Behaviour - Batch of 2020

Be open minded before joining Goldsmiths.

Tips: To have an open mind to everything, to be able understand way beyond just what is happening around you. I got scholarships too. I’m very satisfied. It was a game changing experience for me. Every time I think of Goldsmiths, I think of the personality differences I had after studying there. I opened up to the core of myself, to be able to receive and then to be able to build.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): It’s closer to the London Bridge and the central area. Events like welcoming events in the first week of your uni and then every festival you can celebrate your own way. Chinese New Year, Christmas. All types of communities are on campus. You need to choose what you resonate with.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): They’re very different from other professors. At Goldsmiths nothing for right or wrong. They were open to understanding your pov. Teachings were more experiential and that made it easier and fun plus very useful. The faculty is very diverse. But you’ll find less Asians as professors, more all over the world maybe now things have changed.

BA in Design - Batch of 2023

4.1

Good learning environment and helpful faculty.

Tips: I was an introvert to say the least. This university gave me the wings to take off, express myself and my views creatively and am glad to say that I'm a changed person altogether than how I was when I joined in 2019. I'd applied through clearing, hence didn't avail any scholarships, but people do get options of it, quite decent ones.

Likes (Quality of faculty): In my time at Goldsmiths, I never had to worry about the tutors at all. Each of them possesses the best knowledge from reputed institutes that they've graduated from, and the way they impart knowledge, as well as the ticks and methods they use, is quite commendable. Since I studied design, there would be interesting lectures and workshops for us to understand things. I would any day go back and get back to being taught by them. We had British tutors in our course, but some were Asian, South African, and of Indian descent.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Around Goldsmiths University of London, New Cross, Indian food is available but mediocre as you would find in central London or towards Wembley. They have takeaway options and many restaurants are 15-20 minutes away by public transport. I preferred cooking myself to have fresh food and dietary restrictions being a Jain. But, I would also eat out once in a while, not always Indian. But, apart from Indian food, there are many other restaurants and takeaways that are quite amazing - multiple cuisines are available in the area - Italian, Lebanese, Turkish, Pan Asian, and of good quality. There are many amazing cafes too.

MA in Brands, Communication & Culture - Batch of 2024

4.2

An all encompassing system and experience.

Tips: People here are politically and socially woke, and very welcoming. Extremely liberal and friendly environment. A great balance between social and academic lives. Sensitive to the needs and expectations of the students such as neurodivergence, mental healthcare, gender and orientation, accessibilities. Very satisfied.

Likes (Public transportation): There's an overground station right across the campus. Two bus stops a few hundred metres apart from each other, both close to the university premises. A DLR station within a 15-minute radius. Extremely accessible with several pubs and cafes around. Fun arts culture, great experience. A liberal atmosphere.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The UK is currently going through a period of recession which has reduced the scope of immigration and settlement options in the country. Permanent immigration seems like a considerable option however, given the new immigration laws and the recession that's going on in the UK immigrating isn't as easy as it once was.
