4.1

Good academics and job options.

Tips: In the beginning, it is difficult to adapt. After a while, you get used to your new environment. On the basis of my past academics, I got a scholarship of 2000 pounds.

Likes (Safety): There's good safety here. Police are patrolling all the time and they take strict action against safety purposes. My experience is so good because I also come back from my shifts late at night, but I never face any safety issues.

Dislikes (Indian Food): It is quite difficult to find Indian restaurants, especially North Indian restaurants. There are only two or three Indian restaurants here, but their food is not very tasty, and it’s too expensive to eat out. I prefer to cook my own food.

Experience at Sheffield Hallam University

Tips: I would recommend students to be bold and confident when they come to a different country. Not to take part in any illegal activities. Work only for the hours allowed and concentrate more on improving the skills for the post-graduate work. Start applying early. Enjoy your time here and also be cautious.

Likes (Part time work): When I came to UK there were so many opportunity for part time. However, when more number of students came in the opportunity declined exponentially. Students are allowed to work for only 20 hours. So I used to work part time on weekends and work on my college assignments and applied for the jobs whilst at university.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There are no proper restaurants like a typical Indian restaurant. I would say it's better to cook your own meal to save. If you want to dine outside then it would cost you around 10-15 which is 1000- 1500 rupees. And a normal subway would cost 6 pounds. So I would definitely recommend learning basic cooking before coming to any foreign country.

Try to embrace the cultural differences.

Tips: There is always a cultural difference when travelling to a different country. I would say embrace that difference and make this time to blend into the system. There are multiple scholarships, I would say they were difficult to get but it's always worth the try.

Likes (Public transportation): University is located at the heart of the city. So the public transportation is very reliable. There are city buses, trains and trams throughout the city which makes transportation easy and from this, you can actually save a lot of money. Bus offers a discount price for students which is 13 per ride.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): I would say there is recession going on throughout the world. There are many companies that are willing to sponsor jobs but for freshers it's quite competitive. It is better to come with the job experience in hand for easy access to the job market. However, if the right skill and confidence is there you are a winner wherever you go.

Affordable and the best college!

Tips: Students should do research about the modules of their courses. They should check ranking of the university according to their chosen course. Do they want to live in a bigger city or a cosmopolitan city because Sheffield doesn't have so much to offer as compared to London and other big cities?

Likes (Value for money): Sheffield city is the 4th biggest city of United Kingdom and it is very cheap compared to others like Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Essex, Reeding and London. Quality of life is also very good with less population and less traffic. No crime is there. Everything is so cheap.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food isn't available so easily including the Indian groceries. When I came to this college, the whole country was under national lockdown and because of that, the options for food and groceries were so limited that I had to suffer a lot but now, the things have changed. Lockdown restrictions have been removed and now lots of options are available to go out and get whatever we want.

MSc Food and Nutrition Sciences - Batch of 2023

Offered by Sheffield Hallam University

Difficult at the start but the best experience throughout.

Tips: At the start, it will be a little difficult to manage everything at the same time. However, as time went by, it became a beautiful journey and a good experience overall. It was fun trying out a new culture and a totally different approach to education. However, it would have been better if I had done a little research on the pattern of study before starting.

Likes (Post study jobs): Very few companies offer sponsor visas, which makes it difficult to apply for jobs. Also, companies often require applicants to have a driver's license, which makes it difficult for freshers to get a job.

Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking myself because of the different food choices. There are a lot of Indian restaurants to go to once in a while with a lot of food options but are a little expensive. Also, there are a lot of Indian shops to get the ingredients to cook.
