MSc Electrical Power - Batch of 2022
3.7
Microelectronics in Newcastle is good with lots of facilities.
Tips: Newcastle is best for M.Sc in microelectronics. The university provides lots of support and exercises for the job interviews. The teaching quality is so good and you will feel like you are studying exactly what you want. Few subjects only have assignments while some have exams.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculties are very nice and teaching is so good. Professors help us with every thing and they try to answer all our questions. One can ask professors to join research assistant position. One can also approach them for publication and PhD opportunity. They also provide recorded classes.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships in microelectronics course are very less. Internship depends on the course that one chooses. This is as per my knowledge. Internships are difficult to find. If one gets an internship then it becomes a heavy load to manage. The university provides career services wherein one can find jobs and internships.

MSc in Finance - Batch of 2024
3.1
Try to gain relevant industrial skills.
Tips: It was quite a good experience as it was my first time experiencing education at an international level. Newcastle upon Tyne is a beautiful and student-friendly city. Most of the students got a scholarship worth 34000. The job market in Europe including the UK is stagnant right now. You are more likely to get a job if you have relevant industrial skills along with work experience. Great work experience + skills will get you a job.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty at the institution are quite helpful and possess good knowledge of their respective subjects. They are approachable and willing to assist students in resolving their doubts or queries that may arise. In the end, what matters most is how focused you are towards your goals.
Dislikes (Internships): The Master's programme is of 1 year duration so it is quite difficult to get an internship. Also, the Student Visa allows you to work for 20 hours/ week. You can work more during term time but it is hardly 1 month. So, getting an internship is a struggle.

Q:   Why is Shiksha Grading better than other ranking bodies?

A: 

For the students looking forward to study abroad, the ranking of a university plays a crucial role in decision-making. However, the availability of multiple rankings online can be overwhelming for the university's international audience. All the top ranking bodies rank universities on the basis of different parameters, which can be hard to understand for first-time study abroad aspirants. Keeping this in mind, the Shiksha Study Abroad has launched Shiksha Grading. It caters the Indian audience and ranks all the universities with Indians as their target audience. What makes Shiksha Grading stand out is that the website uses the aggregate of all the publicly available university and course rankings from top-ranking publishers and maps it into 9 buckets - A++, A+, A, B+, B, C+, C. In this method, universities are graded by country and courses are graded by availability at the college in a particular country. With the help of this, students will no longer be required to check multiple ranking organisations to know about the performance of a particular university. Students would only be required to check Shiksha Grading – a platform where all the top rankings from popular ranking groups would be normalised and all universities would be graded into 9 buckets - A++, A+, A, B+, B, C+, C.

Q:   What are some of the top-ranked universities in UK?
