It is a beautiful campus with lots of events.

Tips: It's a great campus with a lot of facilities, but just be sure about one thing that this is a place which is a bit deserted, not a proper city like, otherwise everything is good. And if you get a scholarship for your course, that's a big win situation. People are friendly and love to socialise. Feel free to reach out to faculty in case of any doubts. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

The faculty is excellent, providing support at every stage.

Tips: The Lancaster University Bailrigg Centre is a vibrant campus with a large sports centre and five colleges, some for postgraduate and others for undergraduate students. Be energetic and excited to visit; the fun lasts a long time.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Student life at Lancaster University's Bailrigg Centre is amazing, with numerous cafes on campus. The campus life is very pleasant; students can take walks to breathe fresh air in the mornings and evenings, promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Dislikes (Indian Food): The faculty is excellent, providing support at every stage. They offer personal drop-in sessions to help students concentrate on their studies and achieve good grades. They are also very interested in getting to know their students.

My experience at the university has been both academically rigorous and personally rewarding.

Tips: Before joining this college, students should know that academic expectations are high and independent learning is strongly encouraged. The transition can be challenging initially, especially when adapting to a new culture and its cultural norms, but a supportive environment makes it more manageable. The university is quite diverse and is very student-friendly. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty of our department are highly knowledgeable and experienced. They also bring strong academic and industry perspectives to the classroom. They are generally approachable and are very responsive to student queries via office hours or emails. Additionally, the faculty are fairly diverse.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): If needed, I believe I could work towards meeting the necessary requirements for permanent settlements, especially through skilled employment pathways. While the process can be competitive and dependent on Visa eligibility, I would be confident in building a strong profile over time.

Leaving your comfort zone to experience the beautiful journey.

Tips: It is very important to get information about travel routes at the time of first arrival in the UK. A student must know how to take a train from Manchester to Lancaster. Walk for a few minutes from Lancaster railway station to Common Garden Street. Take a bus from Common Garden Street to Lancaster University, only buses numbers 100/1A/41/42. Arrive at the Underpass or Management school bus stop, then it's a walkable distance to their college porters. I got a scholarship of 5000. Lancaster University will automatically apply the scholarship if the grades are eligible. Overall, I am very satisfied with my course and university. It is a very intense course. I learned a lot; however, when it comes to placement, I am neutral.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation, like buses and trains, is very accessible here. There's a bus app, Stagecoach, where you can track live buses, bus numbers, timings, and duration. Also, if your bus or train is stuck due to a technical issue, the team takes responsibility to drop passengers to their location by arranging another mode of transportation. In the case of trains, sometimes, due to delays and issues, the ticket price is fully refunded, even after they drop you off.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The UK has quite limited options of getting permanent settlement compared to other countries. It is mandatory required first to get sponsored job then there are chances of applying for Indefinite leave to remain. Yes, if the right career opportunity comes I will surely apply for permanent residence here.

Accounting and Financial Management MSc - Batch of 2025

Offered by Lancaster University

2.9

Intense course at Lancaster University.

Tips: The course is excellent, but the faculty doesn't meet the expected standards. Each term is three months long, but they cover the material in just two. Classes are six hours a day, plus assignments and frequent tests. All major exams are handwritten, with two 50-mark questions on the final, and grading is very strict. Around 30% of students fail. You have to manage your health, diet, and the climate; it's a challenging environment, not easy at all. They expect dissertation quality at a Ph.D. level.

Likes (Part time work): There are plenty of part-time jobs available, catering to various interests and skills. As international students, we are limited to 20 hours per week, and Lancaster University offers sufficient opportunities to meet this visa requirement.

Dislikes (Internships): Firstly, the university provides insufficient support for internships in the M.Sc. in Accounting and Financial Management program. While there are career fairs, they are not tailored for accounting students, and undergraduate students seem to be prioritised over Master's students.
