MSc in Financial Mathematics - Batch of 2025

3.5

uni could do better imo!

Tips: I recommend making international friends and stepping out of the comfort zone! Network as much as possible. Apply for jobs from Day 1. I didn't apply for any scholarships. I am going to give a 3/5 rating to my university and course. I am satisfied with the country! It shaped me into a better person, and I learned amazing values and cultures plus made lifelong friends.

Likes (Student Life): I attended daily lectures, which were quite engaging! Especially the office hours where I could have a 1:1 with the professors! There was flair all the way from the art fair to careers! I was the course representative, so I highly recommend doing the same.

Dislikes (Internships): There are occasional career fairs one should definitely attend and network! There are internships available, although I recommend applying from Day 1. Network with seniors and have a 1:1 with professors regarding your job search. They help you out in the best way possible!

A balanced review for QMUL

Tips: The cultural shift was positive. Different culture, but people were friendly since everyone is an immigrant and treats others kindly. I got a 3000-pound global merit scholarship from the university. I applied for it through the university website. I'm extremely happy that I chose the country and city, and I'm quite happy with my university choice and course.

Likes (Public transportation): The campus is very well connected. The bus stop is right outside the campus and the Stepney green and mile end tube stations are a 2-minute walk The public transport is not very affordable, though I think the bus is on the cheaper side for the whole day cap-wise. It is also very convenient.

Dislikes (Value for money): I think I am very neutral; hence, the 3 rating. The course was good, but I didn't learn anything exceptional that I wouldn't have in India. Though the experience was good, I think even if you go to any other college in India for your M.Sc., you might end up paying around 10 lakhs. Mine was 35, which was a little higher, but I guess I would recommend it for everyone for a different experience.

MSc in BA Student Life at Queen Mary University of London

Tips: A new country definitely calls for a lot of transition. There is a cultural shift in the way you interact with professors and your fellow students. However, when in doubt, it's easier to clear this out with the professors or any staff that is ready to help through this. On the whole, the course is well designed with a masterclass that runs a project throughout from scratch, and it ends with a partnership capstone project where you can SEE live how to apply what you've learned in a real-world setting. SO I am personally satisfied with the course, and if you prefer a Russell Group university in a not-so-student-code city, it would be QMUL.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty for the School of Business and Management is always ready to solve questions or doubts raised by the students. Be it through office hours or in the class, active discussions are prompted, and they make sure classes are not just for assignments.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The UK as a country for permanent immigration comes with stricter rules and visa processes that are easier for more experienced professionals than for straight-out-of-university students. For students after university going into post-study work visas, the range of jobs, though available, is significantly lower to get into. For professionals it is suggested to find a job that can sponsor your visa. Given the time spent and the immigration rules changing during the course of your study, you can then think about permanent settlement, as there is no defined path yet.

I attended QMUL and I was able to secure a JOB

Tips: You definitely need to brace yourself for the winters and make sure you sort out a place to stay before you head over. Honestly, your best bet is probably to just book an Airbnb for a month or two, and then you can hunt for a proper long-term place once you're actually on the ground in the UK. Aside from that, my uni experience was actually really good. Securing a job is very difficult in the western world irrespective of what university you get into. I consider myself lucky that I was able to get one. Regarding the uni, professors were quite knowledgeable and approachable, but I believe that the reason I was able to secure a job was because I was passionate about the world of finance and how the world works.

Likes (Public transportation): One of the very few campuses in London with a full-fledged campus, very close to central London with multiple tube stations around. Students have multiple accommodation options within the campus, so most of you would not require traveling by public transportation.

Dislikes (Internships): The university does not provide internships; any university, for that matter, in the UK, does not actively provide internships; it is up to the student to find one and build a strong profile. However, with university being in London and being part of the Russell Group, it does provide an edge.

One of the best law schools

Tips: Settling in London was a massive shock at first honestly. I did not know a single soul here at first so trying to find my feet in the city was honestly just pure stress. But everything got way easier once I actually made a few friends. Looking back I'm just really glad I made the jump—the vibe here is genuinely unmatched. It helps that QMU London is a solid Russell Group uni—their law school is honestly top-tier. Plus, I managed to snag a £2,000 merit scholarship from them just based on my undergrad grades, which definitely helped out with the bills.

Likes (Internships): I've given five stars for the internship opportunities. The university itself provides internship opportunities to its students. There is a dedicated portal for the students who want to apply for jobs and internships where internships and jobs are posted regularly; because of this, I have rated it very high.

Dislikes (Part time work): I gave four stars for part-time opportunities and jobs. When I first got here, I was aggressively applying everywhere, but my friends told me I should just walk into shops physically and ask them face-to-face. Luckily that worked and I snagged a job working 16 hours a week. I was making the minimum wage back then, which was £12.21 an hour, and I'd just schedule my shifts on the days I didn't have any classes.
