Master of Business Administration - Batch of 2022

Offered by Loughborough University

3.5

A great university with world class infrastructure and sports.

Tips: Please do your research, connect with the alumni who are still there in the UK and also the ones who've left. Know about the current market. Loughborough is well known for sports in the world, and scholarships for business studies are given on the basis of work experience.

Likes (Student Life): Loughborough University is very student-friendly, with tons of activities going on throughout the year. Students can also become student ambassadors for their courses, and the university also offers a lot of good part-time job options. The university has multiple student bodies, and each one has its own club. If you're interested, you can join the one that's right for you.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Loughborough University is located in a small university town with limited Indian food choices. However, the town is quite close to Leicester, which offers plenty of options for Indian food. Loughborough has a good number of pubs and also a good number of Indian restaurants, and some supermarkets and small Asian stores where you can pick up all your favourite Indian groceries.

MSc International Business Management - Batch of 2023

Offered by Loughborough University

4.2

Exceptional student experience, world-leading sport, and top-tier university.

Tips: Many students at the university make it feel like home. The transition was smooth and welcoming, thanks to the university's strong sense of community, diverse student body and the supportive staff. There is a separate International Experience team that helps and supports the International students. I did not avail myself of any scholarship, but overall, I'm highly satisfied with the university, the course, International Business Management and the country, the UK.

Likes (Safety): All halls of residence feature secure entry systems and have dedicated Hall wardens and sub-wardens who provide support. There are CCTV cameras that cover the entire campus, monitored at all times. The college is equipped with fire safety systems, emergency exits, and fire extinguishers. Lockers are provided for bicycle storage, ensuring they are properly secured at all times. Trained personnel provide first aid assistance in case of any emergency.

Dislikes (Internships): The University offers guidance and support for the students seeking internships. The University careers network provides resources such as job vacancy listings, dedicated internship programmes to help students with their applications. For example, Talent Match are promoted through the University platform and students are encouraged to engage further to make full use of the same.

MSc in User Experience Design - Batch of 2024

Offered by Loughborough University

2.9

A nice and interesting experience.

Tips: The way they conduct their course is very different from what I was used to. Especially for an M.Sc. course, you should know that most of what you'll learn is surface-level. Unless it's a very specific course. They do allow for scholarships. You'll have to check it out depending on your criteria.

Likes (Safety): Loughborough University is very safe at any time of the day. There are no facilities as such provided for safety, but in general, it is a very safe town. It is just a very safe down, I have walked at 3 am in the morning multiple times from university to my accommodation and I have never faced a dangerous incident. Neither have any of my friends so far.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): With all the changes going on with the immigration laws in the country, the odds for an international student getting a job is very low. Most of my international friends well qualified for a job have gotten a call back from companies interested in hiring them; however, as soon as they mention they will require future sponsorship, they are immediately rejected. There are very few companies, mainly the big ones, that offer sponsorship now. Usually around 25,000-30,000 annually if you somehow manage to get a job.

Sporty and modern university with wide campus.

Tips: If you want to get into sports, this is the destination for you. Number one in sports management in the world. Excellent sports facilities, training, testing, and progress monitoring. Amazing and huge campus for a good university vibe. Good range of courses for bachelor's to master's and PhD as well. Faculty are supportive, helpful, and will guide us with internships and assignments. Public transportation is manageable, convenient, and accessible at an affordable price. The people are very friendly and well-behaved. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experiences.

MSc in International Business - Batch of 2019

Offered by Loughborough University

3.2

Potential learning but placement issues.

Tips: I got a scholarship of 4,000 Pounds and didn't have to take an entrance exam. I couldn't get a placement after graduation because of Brexit. Although I liked the university, the course didn't have value in my country, so it was pointless. I loved the country and the standard of living.

Likes (Safety): I felt safe even when I was out at 4 am in the town because it's never quiet and there are many lights on the road. Everything was accessible and nearby, so I didn't have to go away from home. Even at night, transportation is easily accessible and private cabs are available too.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I didn't get any placement offers from the university after I completed my master's degree. There was no placement cell for any guidance, so everyone who earned their master's degree had to go back home. Even though university life was fun and the course provided good learning, placement really destroyed everything.
