King's College London - LLM- 2024-25 review
Tips: Okay, super basic: moving to London, everyone will tell you, "Don't carry excess stuff from India"—very true—you'll anyway buy grocery items, winter clothing, and household items, so listen to those views. Value for money—It's really on you—network, engage with students and professors, and just explore the city. There's a lot more to develop than just academically—do all you can. If you want to secure jobs and work, apply from the very beginning.
Likes (Indian Food): Too many Indian food options; also, you've got more palate-aligned ones like Malaysian and Turkish and more, so no problem. Prices are expensive, but manageable options are plentiful. Grocery chains keep a well-stocked variety of cuisines so you're set. If you're a student, ask for student discounts everywhere—even if it's not mentioned—most places have them!
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Honestly, the job market is demanding and harder. As a lawyer coming from international areas like India, you have inherent limitations like SQE that you'll have to consider. Sponsorship isn't easy, and permanent residence is harder due to immigration law changes. That said, if the way forward suits you, always try—just keep in mind that there might be more factors you have to consider as you make your way.

An academic Journey of Fun
Tips: Moving to the UK is definitely a shift—the lifestyle is super fast-paced, the weather is completely all over the place and the uni system relies a lot on you teaching yourself though they still keep an eye on your progress. Because of that, the whole teaching style and classroom setup might feel pretty weird at first, but honestly, it’s actually pretty logical, and you’ll get the hang of it in no time.
Likes (Public transportation): Very well connected to go to several places to and from the university. Just a 4 min walk to the underground tube station and several bus stops just outside the campus. There is also an easy option to hop on cycles, and with a monthly pass and student Oyster, it's quite affordable.

What to do and expect at King's College London in your MS degree.
Tips: In terms of Asian countries, it is very different. People are very friendly; however, everyone has a whole personal life of their own that is separate. Everyone only plays for what they have personally ordered; money is a sensitive topic. For scholarships, one needs to apply very early, and it might only be beneficial for people who actually need money and come from low-income households, as there are a lot of applicants (KCL has one of the highest numbers of students). One needs to start applying soon after joining the university and not wait for the course to end. For interviews and impressions with professors, it is necessary to understand the art of having a conversation, as the evaluations are very behavior-oriented and soft-skill-oriented besides technicality. The course is satisfactory, but for a master's degree, 1 year might seem like a very short time, as you only get to touch or overview a lot of the practical work. London is very busy and fast but also very vibrant and enjoyable; there are a lot of options for free fun too.
Likes (Public transportation): London is very well connected; one can find tubes, buses, trams, cabs, and cycles all over the city. Most of the campuses are very close to tube stations, and bus stations are available in mostly all of the areas in London. With an Oyster and Railcard, one can get some benefits on tubes and buses. However, you need to go to the station to connect the two cars and get some benefits (not available online). These are good for frequent travelers.
Dislikes (Internships): Guidance is available on campus (in limited numbers), and an online portals is available for career opportunities, but I personally could not find a relevant internship or job in my field there. On-campus positions are mostly student ambassador roles, and lab positions are mostly available for Ph.D. candidates.

It's difficult to secure sponsorships.
Tips: There is nothing in particular you should know about this university. The university is amazing and has historical significance and the faculty is great. Try to get accommodation outside the ones given by the college since the college ones are very expensive. There is no cultural shift; it depends on how outgoing a person you are and the best way to get yourself in the limelight and even to get a job, you need to be socially available and engage in conversation with people.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty was amazing, they are really caring and try to solve the issues you have regarding a particular topic as much as possible. State of the art tech and amazing libraries to help students upskill in their academics, and help you in whichever way possible.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Given the current scenario of the UK job market it's really difficult to get a sponsorship in the UK. What students generally do is take a PSW and try to get jobs. Studying abroad should be taken as a qualification to upskill yourself. For international students studying in the top universities in the UK the chances of getting a sponsorship are close to 10-15%, so keep that in mind and try to manage studies and applications for jobs at the same time.

Great course, great city, and solid experience overall.
Tips: The transition was fairly smooth. King's is in central London so the cohort is very international, which makes it easier to settle in. The bigger adjustment is London itself rather than the university. Academically, the M.Sc. Data Science movies fast so time management matters from week one.
Likes (Post study jobs): From my experience, about 50% companies I got interviews from had a sponsorship license and were willing to sponsor at the end of my graduate visa. Job roles initially can be structured as contacts with the option to extend or change to convert to permanent. On average, a graduate's salary ranges from 30,000 to 40,000 annually.
Dislikes (Value for money): More expensive than some colleges, like the University of Birmingham or University College London, offering the same course, especially for international students. On top of being in London which is more expensive than the rest of the UK by about 40%, the course is more expensive for no reason.
