Most of the companies don't hire for internships for master's students.
Tips: There are very good scholarships available. Please check if you are eligible and make sure you apply for those as early as possible. Get more connections, this will also help you secure a job and build your network, be open minded and make as many friends as you can, after all, this is college life. There are many forums that support careers and academic writing, enrol on them as that will help with assignments.
Likes (Safety): Lancaster University and the city are both very safe; the security here is very high. The people here are very friendly. I even used to come home late at night when I was working part time at a restaurant. There are police all the time on the streets. If you feel unsafe or scared, they will help you.
Dislikes (Internships): For the Master's program, internships are very hard, as the course itself is 1 year. We will be having a project in the last semester which is similar to an internship. In my last semester, I worked with my group on a real project which helped me understand how a real world project can be managed. In our last semester, we will have two options to select from: one is a real project and the other is research. I have selected a real-time project as it is similar to an internship. Apart from this, most of the companies don't hire for internships for master's students.

Great learning and research experience.
Tips: I did experience a cultural shift as my university was located in the countryside and everything closes at around 5 pm. It gets very quiet and lonely at times. The people are sweet and friendly here however, they are a bit reserved so making long term relations is a bit difficult. I received 2 scholarships. This made a huge impact on my decision as the scholarships brought down the tuition fees to half. I did not have to apply separately for these, as you are directly considered for this and the evaluation is based on the academic scores. My university experience has been good but the part that nobody tells you is that the UK follows a skill based hiring. So if you don’t have experience, it is going to be very difficult to enter any industry. Although my course was great and I learnt a lot of important things, the master's degree doesn’t hold much of a value.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The UK immigration rules are strict now. Hence, it is very difficult to get a sponsored job or find a settlement option. Given an option I would love to immigrate as the work culture and pay are good. And the experience I’ve had so far has been great.

MSc in Data Science - Batch of 2025
4.6
If you’re passionate about learning and studying data science, it’s worth it.
Tips: It is important to know that the course is intensive and designed to give you knowledge and experience both through projects and coursework. Written skills are tested in sync with your technical skills and since it is a one-year course it might get a bit stressful around certain months. It is also important to note that even though it is stressful if you are really passionate about what you're studying then this won't be a problem for you in any way. It is actually enjoyable after the initial period of transition from the Indian education system to the UK one. Good experiences.
Likes (Value for money): I think the quality of education and guidance offered is beyond amazing. Resources offered not just on your career but your health and mindfulness made it a fun and enjoyable experience. Extra-curricular, a beautiful and walkable campus, good professors and very good accommodation on campus made the experience worthwhile to me.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Given that the job market in the UK is bad right now, it is affecting every student from every university, and mine is no exception. There are no campus placements in my course so the general market is the job market and it is equally fierce right now. Lancaster University has good 1:1 resources and workshops to help you tailor your resume and prepare for interviews, so I think while on campus, these should be used as much as possible.

Amazing experience and very proud to make the decision to study here.
Tips: Lancaster is a very small city, frequently travel to nearby cities like Preston or Manchester to get better things. Nightlife is safe and most clubs are friendly and open to all. If you choose your course wisely, you will have an opportunity of a lifetime. Make sure to knock on every door and you will get a part time job for sure and after university, use the alumni network to get a good job.
Likes (Safety): Best campus experience. The campus even after being large and open always felt secure. The marshals and officers are always on duty to help and assist you with everything. People around and on campus are active 24/7 you would not be in danger of any sort.
Dislikes (Indian Food): We have got limited number of non-European restaurants but we can go to nearby cities like Preston. Cooking for yourself can be a struggle but you will eventually learn it and make sure to keep a check on your diet to not fall sick. All major delivery partners would anyway be active.

A great place to grow and learn.
Tips: Lancaster University is ranked among the top 10 universities in the Complete University Guide 2025. The Lancaster University Management School (LUMS) Accounting and Finance programme is also ranked 7th in the Guardian University Guide 2025. The professors in my course were especially encouraging and always gave me the space to ask and clarify my questions. I am proud to be a scholarship recipient, having received awards from both the university and the management school. Lancaster University is the best choice for those who want to focus on both career development and academic excellence.
Likes (Public transportation): Every 10 minutes, you can catch a bus to the city centre or nearby areas from the university underpass. The buses also serve all on-campus locations, running from the underpass to the Graduate College. Students can get a student term pass to save some money on travel.
Dislikes (Internships): The M.Sc. Finance programme can be quite hectic and demanding, leaving little time for internships. Students are usually fully occupied with coursework, lectures, and tests.
