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.

Masters in Accounting and Financial Management - Batch of 2026

3.8

University of Edinburgh student review

Tips: Look, if you're heading to Edinburgh, just brace yourself—those first few months are a massive hurdle. Total adjustment shock but it gets way easier once you actually get into the rhythm of things. Just don't expect a free ride with money if you delay your application like I did (missed out on scholarships completely because I applied way too late in the game). If you want any shot at funding or a bursary here, you seriously need to sort that out a whole year in advance. Still, pretty happy with the uni overall. The course could definitely afford to be a bit more hands-on and practical... but I guess that heavy independent research focus is just the name of the game at a traditional UK university like this.

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.

MSc Global Mental Health and Society - Batch of 2024

4.0

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.
