BSc Mathematics, Statistics, and Business - Batch of 2026
4.5
An excellent institution with vibrant and inclusive campus.
Tips: Depending on whether a STEM subject is taken, internships are very important in the first and second years to apply for. Make sure you enjoy the first year and live it out if you can, make the most of it as it'll be one of the best years of your life. The second year is more difficult so be prepared for it. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the course and the country.
Likes (Post study jobs): There are many jobs available for students after university but they are difficult to achieve. Internships are hard and very competitive so I wish the university helped students secure or provide advice to help the application process better.
Dislikes (Part time work): The university does not offer jobs or part-time roles for students. I wished more on-campus roles or schemes in order to help students find part-time work, which would help applications, and students have an income whilst studying.

The college provides a lot of opportunities through events, activities and seminars.
Tips: I'm really happy with this college. It's a great school, and I've adjusted very well since being admitted. Unfortunately, I wasn't awarded any scholarships, so I've had some financial problems. The faculty is supportive and we are encouraged to attend many events here to build connections. Overall this college is a great choice for anyone.
