Worth every penny that you spent on your academics
Tips: Choose the course that best suits you and make sure you read all the course modules before you make your final decision. Don't really worry about scholarships, as they are awarded automatically, and you don't have to apply individually. Most importantly, don't really have the idea of paying back your loan with a part-time job, because it's going to stress you a lot.
Likes (Value for money): The university experience and the friendships you make during your time there will make the money you spend worthwhile, and you can learn a lot from the new experiences and exposure. The events that take place on campus are really good, and you can find a lot of pubs and bars in the city with more vibes.
Dislikes (Part time work): Lancaster is a small town, and it's really hard to find a part-time job, university part-time jobs are more competitive. If you are looking for part-time jobs, it's better to apply from the very start so that it increases your chances of getting one within 6 months.

Project Management MSc - Batch of 2025

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.

MBA - Batch of 2025
4.1
The best campus with strong academics and global exposure.
Tips: Before joining Lancaster University students should be aware that it is a campus based university located slightly outside the city so planning transport, accommodation and daily expenses in advance is important; the academic environment is rigorous with a strong emphasis on independent study, critical thinking and continuous assessment which may differ from more exam centric systems.
Likes (Part time work): There are worthwhile opportunities but the availability can be less due to competition and the size of the local job market. On campus roles are accessible through the university's Employment & Recruitment Service (ERS) and student job portals offering flexible and friendly positions such as library or IT support, student ambassadors, catering or retail work, administrative or research assistant tasks and occasional casual remote roles; these typically allow around 10-20 hours per week and are advertised regularly each term.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There is no concept of campus recruitment in UK universities. International students need to find their own ways to secure a job. Recently, sponsored jobs have been rarely offered because of the UK Home Office restrictions on visa rules. I cannot directly state the number of companies offering sponsorship. Those are really less in number. Job roles vary based on your interest and salary packages differ sector to sector, function to function. Usually, after MBA many students work in consulting firms.

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.

A fun time at Lancaster University
Tips: I liked living in the UK I plan on going back to get the most out of my degree. The biggest shift for me was adjusting to the weather, if you come from a tropical country like me it can be brutal. Apart from that the online culture is mostly the same so it wasn't hard connection with people my age. Got to meet lots of people from all over the world, very eye-opening.
Likes (Safety): The city and campus always felt safe. Never once did I feel threatened by anything or anyone. It's mostly just students all around the town too so it made the whole place feel more friendly. Students roam the city and campus during all hours of the day so I can't imagine it ever feeling unsafe if you know where you're going.
Dislikes (Part time work): Applying for jobs on campus feels like a total lottery system. There really needs to be a simpler way to do it because finding a part-time gig here is a massive headache. Honestly, a lot of my international friends and I noticed a pretty clear bias toward local UK applicants in the job market, which makes the whole hunt even more frustrating when you're trying to compete.
