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.

Working part-time might be challenging alongside academics, research, and job applications.

Tips: The University of Edinburgh is the best choice if you prioritise strong academics and personal growth. Though Edinburgh is a smaller city, it offers everything you need: great cafes, restaurants, events, and festivals. There are also numerous healthy options, gyms, and MMA clubs. The city boasts many scenic spots, but be prepared for unpredictable weather – the sun can come and go in the same hour. There are also many forest reserves in the city where you can run, hike, or film. If you're seeking a tranquil environment to focus on your studies and stay active, Edinburgh is ideal. However, if you prefer a fast-paced, "hustle culture" city, consider Glasgow, Manchester, or London instead.

Likes (Public transportation): Most of Scotland is well-connected by public transport. Coming from someone who used to have their own vehicle, I find it quite good. You can purchase monthly or yearly passes for unlimited travel. Buses and trains are consistently on time and run frequently, even in areas like the Highlands, and offer student discounts for out-of-town travel. Scotrail and Citylink are excellent options for travelling within Scotland. If you're under 21, apply for a ScotRail travel card for free public transport until your 22nd birthday. For solo travellers, check out hostellingscotland.com for affordable and well-equipped hostels.

Dislikes (Part time work): If you're pursuing a demanding master's degree like mine in Fintech, working part-time might be challenging alongside academics, research, and job applications. However, undergraduates should definitely consider it. It's best to apply before arriving in August, as Edinburgh is a smaller city, and jobs fill up quickly. Candidates with prior experience will likely be prioritised, unless you have a referral from a friend or someone local. Before you arrive, apply to major stores like Sainsbury's, Aldi, Tesco, Asda, Lidl, and JD Sports, as most applications are done online. For more local positions, create a profile on Indeed.

An enriching academic experience with supportive faculty and diverse opportunities.

Tips: Be prepared for a rigorous academic environment. Make sure to understand visa requirements, the cost of living, and available support services. Networking and early engagement with career services can help secure opportunities. Transitioning involved adapting to an independent learning style and a multicultural environment. Initially, I felt a bit isolated, but I gradually adjusted to diverse perspectives and social customs, which enriched my experience. I received a partial tuition scholarship based on academic merit. The allowance was 35,000, which helped offset tuition fees. The university offers excellent academic support, the course is well-structured with a strong focus on real-world skills, and the country is safe, welcoming, and culturally vibrant.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The University of Edinburgh has outstanding faculty known for their expertise, research, and industry engagement. Professors are approachable, support innovation, and incorporate real-world examples in teaching, making the learning experience exceptional.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): While the University of Edinburgh has a strong academic reputation, some graduates face difficulties securing employers willing to sponsor work visas, which can hinder long-term employment prospects in the UK. There are concerns about the university's support in providing exposure to the job market, which affects the ease of securing employment post-graduation.

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.
