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.

MSC Counselling Studies - Batch of 2023

4.0

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

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.
