Kingston University London - beautiful student life with healthy academics but find your own job

Tips: You have to be ready for everything. The cultural shift took some time, as we lived in our indian mindset where we adjust to everything. In the UK, nobody judges you, nor does anyone really care about you. They are kind people, but still, you know it's not your home country. You have to stay independent all the time. No one will be there to rescue. You will learn a lot of survival tricks while staying there. Overall, the UK journey was a roller coaster where I was working hard for the degree and for the finances. I had high hopes that I would get sponsorship, but it didn't last for long. I was very disappointed knowing that I didn't get that scholarship. It was 5000 pound aid, and it slipped out of my hands. Later I came to know it was highly competitive for an indian to crack that. There are a lot of aspects to it. I was satisfied with the curriculum but not with post-internships or placements. It was a bit worrying as we have an uncertain future after the Master's. So, in short, we need to find our own place in the UK job market.

Likes (Public transportation): The university has its own college bus. So it is easy to commute to the university if you are staying in the same town. There is a public bus or university bus always available for everyone. The bus is very affordable when compared to other modes like Uber or Yulu rides. The underground tubes are the best way to travel in and around London.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): For me the PSW renewal felt too much. Being a student who has already spent a lot in tuition feels, the visa feels should be much lesser. I had to come back due to personal commitments. But if given a chance I would definitely settled in a town like Kingston Upon Thames. It is a very pleasant place to live in with kind people around you.

Finding a job in the UK is very difficult due to high competition and limited opportunities.

Tips: While the university is good, know how to get take most out of it. Attend lectures, talk to professors, and take guidance from them. In addition, start applying for jobs at least 3 to 4 months before the end of your course. Employers take time to reply, and there are many applicants.

Likes (Value for money): The university is amazing and has free bus transportation. Also, the student accommodation is good, where you share the kitchen space but can get an en-suite room. You can access a common room to spend time with your friends and do your assignments. Overall, Kingston is an amazing place.

Dislikes (Internships): Finding a job in the UK is very difficult due to high competition and limited opportunities. To succeed, you have to tailor your CV, talk to people, and be active on LinkedIn. If you are seeking part-time employment, you must carry your resume with you when you visit random stores and ask if there are any available jobs.

No big companies hire interns, especially students.

Tips: Use your network of important people, as that is the only way you are going to get a job. Forget big companies and go wherever is going to work best, save what you can, and travel if you have extra money. One thing that I regret not doing was travelling while I worried about jobs and everything. Just live life and you'll figure it out.

Likes (Public transportation): Great transportation as there is connectivity everywhere and it's way economical and convenient, as Uber and a car cost as much as people’s groceries for a week. Be aware of areas you should not visit, especially by public transportation, as those areas are very unsafe. The rest is great. Get a student Oyster card, as it saves 40% of the cost. Don’t use a bank card, as they don’t have a spending cap. A 40% discount is a lot; that’s about 1,000 pounds per year.

Dislikes (Internships): No one gives internships. No big companies hire interns, especially students, as they do not hire students who are only allowed to work 20 hours. And guess what, we are not allowed to work more than 20 hours. That is something you need to understand before you go. It's not demotivating, but it's a taste of reality.

College provides a portal where you can see and apply for internships.

Tips: Make sure you have relevant experience; otherwise, you'll struggle to find a job post studies. I saw that most students were coming to the UK without having proper preparation. Those students struggle a lot with part-time and full-time jobs. If you are not planning to work in the UK, your purpose is only to complete studies, then it's okay to come to Kingston.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transport was easily available. Even college has its own buses, which makes commuting very easy for students. You can apply for a student Oyster card to make your travel cheaper and faster. My personal monthly expenditure on transport was below 100 pounds.

Dislikes (Internships): Internships were not offered, and the one that I managed to find on my own was not suitable with my visa restrictions of 20 hours a week. College does provide a portal where you can see and apply for internships, but those internships are very restricted because of the visa restrictions.

The university is good, the faculty are sweet yet unpredictable.

Tips: The college offers scholarships to students with financial difficulties. I wasn't qualified for it, so I didn't apply. But my time at Kingston was a life-changing experience. I transitioned in a lot of ways, not just because I was at Kingston, but because it's a new country of living for me. So from independent living to studying and figuring out everything on my own, I changed as a person in my thoughts and personality and gained more confidence, plus learned a lot about the Western culture as well.

Likes (Public transportation): The campus has its own bus service, which is great. There is an app for it, and one can see its schedule. The bus connects the campus to all the important city centre places and to the other campuses as well. It's free, hygienic, and a service that not many other universities provide.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty was approachable and accessible only during work hours because one can have queries anytime. The teaching methodology is good, with a mix of theoretical and practical work that provides good exposure and mental stimulation to prepare you for the real world. However, I thought the faculty was not very diverse in terms of nationality. There were Indian professors and some of Indian origin, but apart from the local British faculty, there weren't many others, or perhaps my department didn't have many.
