MSc in International Business Management including Professional Placement - Batch of 2025

Offered by Kingston University London

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.

A supportive and enriching journey at Kingston University.

Tips: Before coming to Kingston University, I think it's important for students to know that while the university is welcoming and diverse, moving to a new country can feel overwhelming at first. Being open to new experiences and reaching out for support, whether from professors, classmates, or student services, makes a big difference. The transition for me had its ups and downs. I definitely felt a cultural shift, things like how casually people interact with professors, or how independent learning is expected here. But over time, I adapted and started to really enjoy it. I didn't get a scholarship myself, but there are quite a few available. Most are based on academic merit or financial need, so it's worth applying early and carefully following the requirements. Overall, I'm genuinely happy with my choice. The course content is strong, the campus life is lively, and living in the UK has given me a lot of personal and academic growth.

Likes (Student Life): Kingston University offers a vibrant, supportive, and diverse environment. My typical day includes lectures, study sessions at the library, and hanging out with friends by the riverside. What I enjoy most is the balance between academics and social life, as there's always something happening on campus. We have regular events like cultural festivals, career fairs, open mic nights, and wellbeing workshops. I try to participate as often as I can; it's a great way to meet people. The campus has a wide range of clubs, from photography and dance to business and sustainability - there's something for everyone.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): While the UK does offer structured pathways to permanent residence, the process can be lengthy, complex, and often uncertain due to frequent policy changes. My chances of permanent settlement would depend heavily on securing long-term employment and meeting visa criteria, which can be competitive. Given the opportunity, I would definitely consider settling in the UK. I appreciate the cultural diversity, professional opportunities, and quality of life. But the decision would also depend on stability in immigration policies and long-term personal goals.

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.

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.

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.
