MSC Counselling Studies - Batch of 2023
Offered by The University of Edinburgh

Diverse and global.
Tips: The city is extremely safe and friendly. It’s a beautiful environment to be in. The university offers help if needed in various aspects and I had a nice time during my academic year. There was a cultural shift but if you find the right group of people, it becomes easier. The global exposure is massive.
Likes (Part time work): The university holds job fairs in the welcome week, where various organisations come in offering part time jobs that are easy and accessible. The pay is usually the minimum wage going on at the time or slightly higher depending on the organisation. The university itself has part time opportunities as well but I don’t know much about it.
Dislikes (Internships): We weren’t informed about any internship opportunities available. Within the university as well, options for internship work were limited. However, this is specific to the course I pursued and there could be other courses offering opportunities.

Excellent campus life and academics.
Tips: The biggest transition was academic style, which is heavily focused on self-study and critical thinking. Culturally, the shift was smooth, though the weather, ie quite gloomy. I am very satisfied with the quality of education and the exposure I have received. It entirely depends on us and our goals.

MSc Human Resource Management - Batch of 2025

The university is well recognized; I had a great experience.
Tips: To be honest, back in India, the method of teaching is really different, and it takes some time to adapt. My university provides various scholarships, from a full scholarship to some percentage of the tuition fees.
Likes (Quality of faculty): I feel really fortunate to have had such a supportive and approachable faculty. They were excellent. The best part was to have mentors who have great connections and work experience across the globe.
Dislikes (Internships): No doubt there is a decent amount of guidance provided, in fact, the university organises various networking events and workshops as well. Yes, there are internships available across the UK. Still, a lot depends upon the job market and the field you are in.

A transitional turn-point of my personality.
Tips: You won't find any transition; just come with an open heart and mind to explore and accept everything. You can make the most of it. There are many scholarships available if you apply on time. I received the Dean's Excellence Award from the University. I received every possible support from the university, from academics to mental well-being. The course is culturally diverse, which gives you an edge to think outside your borders. Scotland is very beautiful, especially Edinburgh. It's a very safe and walkable city, with friendly faces and kindness in people's hearts.
Likes (Indian Food): There's no need to pack your bag with Indian food and spices; there are so many Indian and Asian shops in Edinburgh, and you can find everything here, from mustard oil to cereals! Plus, if you don't feel like cooking, there are also economical eating-out options.
Dislikes (Internships): There is no collaboration between the university and the industry for internships. Students have to find internships on their own, and the job market often prefers undergraduates for summer and winter internships over postgraduates, making it difficult for students to secure them.
