Fun, adventurous and beautiful memory

Tips: Research more on the subject they want to take. Subjects like business analytics and FINTECH seem to have more challenging courses than general management. Student life was amazing, we have so many resources and clubs to expose ourselves to. I got a 5k scholarship under India Merit, but they have increased the CGPA requirement for it.

Likes (Safety): Edinburgh is a very safe place. We can travel at night since there are buses running around the city 24/7. There is a lot of social life in and around the city, so for students it's such a lovely place to explore. And since it's in Scotland, it's a beautiful country to travel in as well.

Dislikes (Value for money): I personally think it was quite expensive. They could have added more lectures for 30k GBP. It didn't really challenge me for the management course. But the other courses were quite harder and worth the money. For management, it touched on several subjects, but there was not much depth like I wanted.

Edi is a great time with the best people

Tips: There are a lot of societies and groups you can join, so it doesn't feel alienating. Scholarship options from the university are limited, but I received the India Merit Scholarship. I am happy with the university, the course could have been better, and the country was amazing.

Why I Loved Edinburgh - The City and the University

Tips: 1. There was a cultural shift. Be very careful about the Scottish Kilts. Don't call it a skirt. Don't touch their kilts. 2. No, I did not. 3. Extremely satisfied and happy. The country welcomes you like home. You will have a hard time leaving if you decide to do so.

Likes (Indian Food): 1. There are numerous student rooms and libraries for us to study. My favourites were the New School and Old School libraries. 2. A lot of festivals, like Hogmanay, the Fringe and Bagpiper events, theatre, and musicals. 3. There are more than 200.

Dislikes (Internships): 1. Highly Accessible. You can schedule sessions with them. 2. The best thing was that it was more question-based rather than just theory. 3. Extremely diverse. Professors came from almost every part of the world, from Nigeria to China to India to the Middle East.

Academically rewarding and personally transformative milestone.

Tips: The biggest thing you need to realize before coming to Edinburgh is that the academic style here is a massive shift from what you're probably used to. The uni expects you to be completely independent and steer your own learning, which is exciting but definitely a bit of a shock to the system at first. You're fully accountable for your own schedule. On the plus side, the campus vibe is incredibly welcoming, and you’re surrounded by people from all over the world, which makes the whole culture shock way easier to handle. Financially, I managed to lock down the £5,000 India Merit Scholarship after they reviewed my grades, which was a massive help. Honestly, the student support systems here are a total lifesaver when you're feeling overwhelmed. But if I have to give one honest piece of advice to anyone thinking about applying: do your homework on the costs. You really need to sit down, weigh your options, and crunch the numbers on the ROI before committing to the move, because studying in the UK right now is a huge financial investment.

Likes (Part time work): I gave part-time work a 5 because honestly, Edinburgh is packed with jobs whether you want to work on campus or out in the city. The university itself is always hiring students for random gigs like being an RA in the halls, doing admin help, or working campus events. If you look off-campus, there's an endless supply of bar work, cafe shifts, and retail jobs up and down the Royal Mile and the rest of the city. The best part is that the university jobs are incredibly flexible with your timetable, so you don't have to ruin your grades just to make rent. You usually make anywhere from £12.60 to £15 an hour, which is decent cash. As long as you aren't blowing your money every weekend, that hourly rate is more than enough to cover your day-to-day living costs and keep you afloat here.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I gave the settlement options a 2 because honestly, trying to figure out a long-term path to stay in the UK right now is an absolute minefield. Don't get me wrong, studying up here at Edinburgh gives you a world-class education and the career prospects look great on paper, but actually moving from a student visa to permanent residency is a massive uphill battle. The whole process is completely gatekept by employer sponsorship, and with the government aggressively changing the Post-Study Work (PSW) rules and hiking up the salary thresholds for the 2026 intake, the goalposts keep moving. It’s just pure stress—especially if your industry is one of those fields where companies almost never sponsor visas. When you mix a highly competitive job market with constant immigration policy shifts—all while having a massive education loan hanging over your head that you need to pay back—the uncertainty is just exhausting.

MSc in Business Analytics - Batch of 2025

4.3

One of the most diverse and beautiful universities in all of UK. Exquisite Location and good ranking

Tips: The University of Edinburgh is very academic and research-focused. A lot of the practical part of the studies is self-learning. The university is very diverse and helps you create a huge international network. They have a dedicated India Merit Scholarship for students from India, where they grant you £5000 if you have a 9.0+ CGPA.

Likes (Part time work): Edinburgh has plenty of part-time jobs both on and off campus. The city is dominated by students, so there are a lot of retail jobs available. The university’s ambassador program is also an interesting way to make some extra money. UK allows students to work 20 hours a week during studies.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The UK job market has been complicated lately with constant changes to the immigration rules. The market has been improving but at a slower than expected pace. Getting a job on the graduate visa is not a problem but converting that into sponsorship gets difficult but not impossible.
