Queen Mary University of London is good with great academics.

Tips: Academics here are challenging, so understanding your course will help. The workload is intense but rewarding, with strong support services, including academic help and mental health resources. Living in London can be costly, so budgeting is crucial. Many students choose on-campus or nearby housing to manage expenses. QMUL has excellent networking opportunities through career events and workshops, which can help secure internships or job placements. For international students, scholarships are available. Some may cover part or all of the tuition and even provide living allowances. Apply early, as it's competitive. Adjusting to life in London's multicultural environment may feel like a cultural shift, especially if you're from abroad, but engaging with different people and campus activities ease the transition. Overall, QMUL offers a supportive and inclusive environment that most students find rewarding- your experience will largely depend on how you engage and explore.

Adapting to a competitive and culturally diverse university experience.

Tips: Before joining this college, students should know that the academic environment is competitive, and on-campus resources are essential for success. Adjusting to the new cultural norms can be challenging, especially in communication style and socializing. I applied for a merit-based scholarship that provided partial tuition. Overall, I am satisfied with the university course and country, but adjusting took time. The educational quality is high, but managing costs and cultural differences can be tough.

Likes (Post study jobs): I read 4 for post-study jobs as soft companies offer decent opportunities including those that sponsor shipwalk visas though availability varies by field job roles are typically in engineering and business with average starting salaries regarding from 30 to 35K per year.

Dislikes (Part time work): I rated three because while part-time opportunities are available on campus they can be limited and competitive. Off-campus jobs are harder to secure for international students as balancing work and academics is challenging and the average pay is moderate around 10 to 15 pounds.

Best Russell Group University.

Tips: There is nothing to worry about while joining QMUL, as you'll be provided with everything. They provide you with an email account where they send all the important information. You just have to keep a lookout on your email. Everything is quite easy to do. The faculty is warm, friendly, understanding and will help you any time. Public transportation is easily accessible and convenient to use. I am satisfied with my experiences.

Good university with supporting and knowledgeable faculty.

Tips: Students should be prepared for a cultural change, as London is very different compared to other cities in India. The weather can be harsh sometimes, and it gets difficult to start early for college during cold weather conditions. Also, check all the scholarship opportunities that are available before starting your journey here. Try joining the college early, as it can increase your chances of getting campus-based accommodation, which is much safer and would make it easier to manage college life with less travelling.

The university is great with lots of opportunities to grow.

Tips: Before coming to Queen Mary University of London, students should check if they are eligible for scholarships and apply for them as soon as possible. Some scholarships are known by university representatives, so be sure to talk to them about them. Shifting to a new country is exciting, but it can also be lonely. Try to socialize as much as you can. Also, make sure to stop converting British pounds to Indian rupees, or you might find the cost of living too expensive and start to feel like you can't enjoy your experience.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is amazing and easy to connect with. They understand that we are already facing difficulty in shifting to a new country, and they are friendly. You can mail them and expect a prompt reply. They are always ready to talk about any query you have, you can be your real self in front of them.

Dislikes (Part time work): Availability of on-campus jobs starts before the start of the course, and at that time not all students realize they need one. By the time we reach the university, all jobs are full, and you need to compete a lot for the available jobs. Payout is amazing as they provide a London living wage. They also provide opportunities for off-campus part-time jobs, but they are for a limited time span, such as 80 hours in total, and cannot be reapplied through the scheme.
