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.

MSc in Pharmaceutical Analysis - Batch of 2026

4.4

Diversity that becomes a family at QUB.

Tips: It's a great place to study after moving to Belfast; the people are very kind, and the nightlife is good. When you come to a new country, try to blend in and explore the culture. The university offers financial aid, but you might need to provide supporting documentation. A loan document could be helpful. It offers around 500. I am very satisfied with my time here.

Likes (Part time work): We have opportunities in the union with many roles, even off-campus; we have access to plenty of jobs. The kind and polite people create a nice working environment that is manageable with academics. I would suggest avoiding food chain jobs. On average, a student can earn £850 per month.

Dislikes (Internships): There are fewer internship opportunities in Belfast compared to the mainland. Since most courses start in September, many internship postings come out in October and November, which is when new students arrive and often miss out. Therefore, I would recommend starting your search as soon as you begin your course.

MSc Accounting, Finance and Analytics - Batch of 2025

3.4

Good for PhD studies, but not recommended for a Master's degree.

Tips: It’s advisable to have prior work experience as there are no placement services or a dedicated placement year. Enrolling at the bachelor’s level is recommended as it can positively influence your mindset. This university primarily focuses on research and not industry oriented training, so manage your job expectations accordingly.

Likes (Student Life): The student union is excellent for relaxing. There’s a library for studying and group discussions, a large gym a swimming pool and other facilities. Belfast has a good nightlife with pubs. Be aware of junkies as they may try to start fights.

Dislikes (Internships): The university doesn’t offer internships unlike other courses. Moreover we struggle to secure external internships due to visa issues. Therefore applying for graduate roles and internships feels like a waste of time. I’m unsure what the future holds as they’ve also altered the course modules.
