Rewarding experience at King's college London

Tips: The move to London and enrollment at King’s College London was an entirely different experience from my previous university. There are many changes that you have to get used to academically, socially, and culturally. Students should also anticipate the costs of living in London and how much more independently they will have to study.

Likes (Internships): Easier to get internships and part-time experience. Kings talent bank portals is filled with part-time offers, making it easier for students to gain relevant work experience. There are a lot of opportunities across different fields, so students can build practical skills, strengthen their CVs, and gain experience in the UK job market while studying.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Current changes in Immigration lawns in UK making it difficult to settle there. The current changes and uncertainty around UK immigration rules make permanent settlement difficult to predict. I would like to stay and build my career in the UK, but my long-term options depend on future visa and settlement requirements.

Check out the faculty and modules before enrolling.

Tips: A student must check the modules and most importantly, the faculty. International students can apply for a discount of up to 10K GBP which is called vVce Chancellor Award. The course could have been better; it was fine but for the price I paid, I had better expectations.

Likes (Indian Food): There are plenty of food options all around London. Like in every street every corner you can get the food you want. The city offers food for every nationality but if you want to experience British food then vegetarian people might struggle with finding good food as fast food corners or local cafes lack good vegetarian food.

Dislikes (Internships): There are very less to no internships available for Master students. For undergraduate students, it's very good but not for post graduate students. Also, only students with prior work experience get the internship There are internships but mainly for undergraduates.

The brand is really powerful, and has come in clutch when in front of many stakeholders.

Tips: Chevening Scholarship is one to know about. University life in London forces you to mature fast and be on your toes nonstop, so it is necessary to get good sleep and manage time effectively in order to be prepared for the Next day. One year goes by like a few weeks, so you can't close slight of your goal for even a second, and you will have to make sacrifices if you're serious, but it will work out eventually. Don't take a loan to do any kind of M.Sc. programme, though.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Easily approachable during office hours, can talk about virtually any relevant topic or question, and willing to offer opinions and advice. Don't expect "teaching" in the usual sense, you teach yourself and ask questions. Professors will only solve exercises and pose questions to the class in the lectures, it is up to you to make the most of it.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): UK government has introduce legislation to reduce immigration, which tries the hands of employers in regard to work visas, severely limiting student options after graduation w. r. t potential employers. Things open up more after you've spent 5 years in your first role, leading to better opportunities, but getting the first break is always the hardest. Easier to move back to india as well after immigrating at first.

King’s College London- Positive Experience

Tips: Studying at King's forces you to grow up fast—living in the middle of central London makes you far more independent, both in daily life and in how you approach your studies. Academically, the teaching at KCL really expands your critical thinking and gives you a much broader, global view of your field. I self-funded my degree without any scholarships, which is a major financial commitment given London's high cost of living. While I was really happy with the academic rigor and campus experience at King's, I ultimately realized that for my specific career track, India actually offers much stronger growth opportunities and long-term scope right now compared to staying on in the UK.
