MSc in Pharmaceutical Analysis - Batch of 2025

4.8

A Great Experience Studying Pharmaceutical Analysis at Queen’s University Belfast

Tips: Living in Belfast turned out to be a good choice, although at first adapting to a new environment and education system seemed to be difficult. The M.Sc. Pharmaceutical Analysis course included a proper mix of theoretical, practical and laboratory elements, which were useful for the pharmaceutical sector. The ability to do things independently and be able to work efficiently and effectively is really essential. Belfast provides a wonderful atmosphere of student life along with great public transport services. My experience of studying at Queen's University Belfast was quite positive.

Likes (Public transportation): Queen's University Belfast is well connected to many areas in Belfast by means of buses and trains. The facilities of the public transport system are not expensive and are accessible to students. The students can easily travel from one place to another using the facilities of the public transport system.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Job opportunities at Queen’s University Belfast after completing studies are bright, especially in pharmaceutical companies, quality control, quality assurance, laboratories, and research and development. But jobs that sponsor visas might not always be plentiful, and the competition for such jobs might be tough.

MSc in Human Resource Management - Batch of 2025

4.1

An experience of learning and exploration.

Tips: If you are open and easily adaptive your life gets simple around. There are many challenges such as weather, balancing studies, work and chores altogether, feeling lonely and left out often during families and pressure to get along with others so you don't feel left out. Talking about the cultural shift is the culture here is exactly opposite from where I came from. People here are really friendly and helpful if you are friendly enough. I availed a 7500 pounds scholarship and addition 1000 pounds scholarship for my accommodation. It depends on what course you choose and your choice of accommodation. Extremely satisfied with the university and helpful faculty, due to recent changes in the course structure it is more practical now. I guess it is a good opportunity for an upcoming student. Good experiences.

Likes (Indian Food): There are many restaurants and fast food options available. Not only Indian but many other cuisine options to go for. You can order food online and students get discounts as well. I prefer cooking myself most of the times but when it's the deadline period its hard to manage all together.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Due to recent changes in Visa rules and salary threshold, and the years required to stay for getting a PR. It is hard to get one as a permanent settlement option. I would say no, I'll probably move back to India or maybe some other country as visa policies are highly unpredictable and unreliable.

MSc Construction and Project Management - Batch of 2025

4.7

Fun and vibrant student life.

Tips: Till now, what I have seen is that mostly it depends on the person's luck but even I am still processing what is happening around me. But I would like to have some patience and faith in myself as there is some more time. I would like to have a permanent settlement but just I am trusting the process. The transition is not much, once they come, they will get to experience everything without any expectations. If they're here then everything will be easy. A scholarship of 3000 pounds for my course, everyone will get that and 1500 pounds if we pay the rural fee within a certain duration of time. I'm very happy with my decision to move here and this experience in my life was much needed for me and helped a lot for me to be a better person.

Likes (Student Life): Mostly travelling to attend the classes and in the union or in my room, spending some alone time or with friends just chilling out. There would be a lot of activities but I was kind of busy with my own things. I am not in any of the clubs or communities but I regret that I'm not in any of them.

MSc Accounting, Finance and Analytics - Batch of 2025

3.8

Great university with good faculty and a great experience.

Tips: It is not different from any other university experience. However make sure to sign up for a lot of university events in the first few weeks that would help in great networking and awareness of what is happening around the campus. I availed of a few scholarships offered by my university, but those are automatically allotted to international students. The faculty are mostly Asians and most classmates would be Asians too.

Likes (Safety): I stayed in a student accommodation and am currently in an individual accommodation. I would say Belfast is safer than any other UK city, but it does not mean we can roam around all night in dodgy places and say the same. People don’t usually bother you until we speak to them.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent settlement is a great challenge in the UK currently. Given an option I would like to complete my master's and work in a related field for the next 2-3 years and transfer to a new country with more scope and continue working there. We should make sure to work in a field related to our degree so the experience can be used in our paper.

MSc(Res) in Cancer Medicine - Batch of 2026

4.1

Just keep exploring and everyday will be a new surprise.

Tips: Not everyone would talk to you. It doesn't mean that people here don't like you. Sometimes you could be mistaken for a racist mentality. But the people are quite in general. They are polite if you ask for help. But don't expect they will always be willing to talk. I don't mean to say there is 0 racism here. But their basic human nature and racist attitude are distinguishable. Eating out could be expensive. Make the right friends. Take time to cook your own food rather than buying a pack of tortillas. Home cooked meal hits different.

Likes (Value for money): I study at Patrick Johnson centre for Cancer Research. It's one of the most advanced centres and the Principal investigators get loads of funding for the project. This is really important if you are aspiring to work in research. The labs, the projects, the seminars, the modules, and the help you get to learn everything are 10/10.

Dislikes (Part time work): The college schedule of MRes Cancer Medicine is for 5 days a week 9 am to 5 pm. It becomes pretty tiring to go to work after college and work for at least 4-5 hours. Anyway, this experience is tough. But you get a good hang of this routine. Unknowingly, it is making you tough for your struggle.
