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

4.3

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.

Bridging cultures and building future.

Tips: The University of Edinburgh encourages students to think independently and become leaders. Take ownership of your studies and make your own decisions about your learning. I was able to make both cultural and academic improvements, and I’m pleased with my studies here.

Likes (Value for money): The University of Edinburgh gives us good returns like working for 2-3 years with a great pay and going back to your home country. The return on investment is good. The reputation you get after studying from this university is commendable, and everyone knows about the university. It has worldwide reach.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I don’t prefer settling here permanently as I think we have abundant facilities back in our home country to grab. And the weather over here in Scotland is not suitable for me. Also, people here are very humble and easy-going, but hometown hits different.

There are lots of Indians, Indian stores and restaurants, so you'll not completely miss home.

Tips: For me, the transition felt very smooth and not difficult at all. If one has previously had to move to a different state for their studies and had to live by themselves in a PG or otherwise, this will feel the same, even though it's to a different country and continent altogether. The cultural shift isn't too extreme either, since it's heavily dependent on the friend group you are with, mostly. There are lots of Indians, Indian stores and restaurants, so you'll not completely miss home. You also get to experience the cultures of all the students from different countries if you befriend them, which is a great learning experience. I'd received the India Merit Scholarship, which is automatically given to eligible students based on their application and undergraduate scores, worth 5000 GBP. This is deducted from the tuition fee and not something that is given to the students directly. I'm honestly very satisfied with the university, course and country. While there are a few gripes that I have with the infrastructure available to the students, this has been a very fun and pleasant experience overall. Scotland and Edinburgh are extremely safe, very walkable, and amazing places to be, and the people are super sweet and friendly.

Likes (Student Life): An average day in college involves 2 to 3 hours of classes, which can be a mix of theory and lab classes. Lab classes are very well arranged in that they help you implement and practically learn what was taught in the theory classes. Depending on which campus the class is on, a decent chunk of time on campus might be spent on travelling between the campuses, though a bus service makes this very easy. In terms of events, there is something or the other happening almost every day and every week, whether it be social events or guest lectures and all sorts. While I don't participate very often, it's very fun when I do. In terms of clubs and societies, there are tons of them ranging from computer Science societies to dance clubs to sports clubs and more. Anything you're interested in, there is probably a club or society for it.

Dislikes (Value for money): I think the tuition fee for the course is significantly higher than the average and compared to other Russel League universities in the UK, and not completely justified. While I agree that the course faculty are amazing and student communities and opportunities are amazing, a lot of the services provided such as the computing infrastructure to the students in the course are not as good as you'd expect for the cost of the course.

The university provides strong guidance and resources for applying to and finding internships.

Tips: It was quite hard to adapt to survive here understanding the dialect adapting to food that isn't that spicy, etc. I was awarded the India Merit Scholarship which was awarded to academically highly ranked students. I would firmly say Edinburgh is the best place to live and explore. There is something here for everyone. It has the countryside charm, a magical place for Potterheads, and buzzing city life too. I am very much satisfied with the university, the course content and the country.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty are quite friendly and open to solving any of our queries regarding academics or professional advice when we reach out to them through email. They are also open to chats, depending on their availability. I find the teaching methodologies to be top-class, practical and insightful. The teaching faculty members are from diverse backgrounds, too, with excellent research fingerprints.

Dislikes (Internships): The university provides strong guidance and resources for applying to and finding internships. There is a dedicated Career Services that offers support throughout the entire process from CV building and interviews to networking and job search strategies. However despite this support, securing an internship in the UK can be quite difficult due to the competitive nature of the job market and visa-related constraints. That said, the available internships are highly relevant to my field of study and align well with my academic and professional goals.
