Beyond the classroom- A experience worth investing in.

Tips: The students should be aware of the job market in the UK if the reason for the study is to get employed in the country itself. You can find options to apply for scholarships when applying to the university. I personally got a scholarship of £2000. The country is worth studying, enjoying your student life, and building a great career.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The teaching faculty has professors from various countries and is very supportive. Also, the teaching methodology is great, it keeps you engaged, and the schedule does not drain you. We had lectures only 3 days a week, 4 hours a day. That’s truly what every student desires.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are not many companies that offer sponsor visas specifically now, post changes in sponsorship rules. It’s next to impossible for a fresher to crack a sponsored role, but if you find an internship during your course or a part-time role basically UK work experience- which can contribute to the experience for the job you are applying for, it can be really helpful and may land you a sponsored job.

Variety of extracurricular opportunities and friendly atmosphere.

Tips: I transition pretty well because of the people who are quite friendly. But there are cultural socks. I got a scholarship of 25% of my tuition fees. I applied for it by providing an essay of my achievements. I am quite satisfied by the course and the activities.

Likes (Indian Food): There are so many options. Even grocery stores and clothing options are in abundance. I prefer to cook at home because it is more budget-friendly and you get an essence of your home. I do eat out sometimes, as there are so many options to choose from, and you have student discounts.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The contact hours are very few. And it is hard to contact them out of lecture hours. And the methodology is that we have block courses that are 2 modules each semester. And there are a total of 3 semesters and one major project, which runs for three months.

Dont keep an expectation of a post study job, if you are an international student.

Tips: Jobs are very limited. Even for part time jobs there are 1000+ applications. If you are joining to get a degree and come back, the university is very good. But don't keep an expectation of personal support for job search or applications. Attendance for international students is crucial. They keep a secret check and inform the UK Home Office (immigration); the same for assignments and exams.

Likes (Public transportation): NCTX buses and trams in Nottingham are very convenient and professional. The Trentbarton buses, Mango buses are good for inter country traveling. Also, Broadmarsh bus station is like 10 minutes walk from the city centre from where you can take different buses like National Express or Flix buses to different parts of the country. Even to Scotland! The train station is clean and good too with fewer delays. The East Midlands airport is a bit far but can easily be traveled via a bus from the city centre.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): They don't support in applications or even job search. They have their general newsletter every week mentioning part time/full time options, often not catered to your course. Most of the organisations are only hiring regional/national students and not international students, as they need more than 40 hours and student visa only allows 20 hours. The university doesn't help at all. They have job fair where they only hand out basic pamphlets but no actual hiring happens there.

A supportive, student-friendly university that helps you grow beyond academics.

Tips: There's nothing drastically different to know compared to any other university - but building the right connections early makes a big difference. Get involved in student work groups or volunteering opportunities as soon as you can. If possible, try to gain some experience in your field before you come here; even an unpaid internship can be a great advantage. 2. I personally did not receive a scholarship, the reason wasn't specified, but a few of my peers did. The competition is quite high, and many factors influence the selection process. With constantly changing government policies & fluctuating intake scholarship opportunities can vary significantly from year to year. So, lets try & hope for the best. While the courses could have included a bit more practical or challenging content I gained much more than just academic knowledge. I learned about different cultures, people & life in general. I've truly grown as a person since coming here. The university is friendly & supportive. One of my favourite places is the 24/7 library access it's a lifesaver, especially if your laptop crashes right before a submission! The city itself is very student-friendly, with plenty of discounts, shops, restaurants and places to explore. There are also places of worship for everyone, which makes it a very inclusive & welcoming environment.

NTU provides good guidance through career services, CV workshops, and employer events.

Tips: Nottingham Trent University offers modern facilities, a diverse culture and strong career links. The transition was smooth with the support even though the study style differed. I gained tuition fee scholarships, which eased the cost. I'm satisfied with my course, the university and life in the UK.

Likes (Public transportation): NTU is well connected by trams, buses and trains. The campus is in the city centre, making travel quick and convenient. Student passes make fares affordable and frequent services make computing easy and reliable.

Dislikes (Internships): NTU provides good guidance through career services, CV workshops and employers events. Many internships are relevant to my field but competition is high and some roles are unpaid which makes access slightly challenging.
