Warm and welcoming campus.

Tips: I didn't experience a big cultural shock. This experience varies from person to person. I am someone who has lived away from home in India & thus household chores are not a problem for me. For students who are leaving their home for the first time they will find managing cooking, cleaning, shopping, studying, basically doing everything on their own difficult. Treat this as a challenge & in a few months you will get used to it. I got a Merit scholarship which many Indian students get. It was a 2000 education on the tuition fees. There is a University scholarship which gives a 25% discount on tuition fees but it's very competitive. There are many external organisations that provide scholarships; you will have to check them out. I am very satisfied with my experience at the University of Sheffield. I met people from all over the world. The teaching method in the UK universities is very different from India. My course was mostly coursework. You have to do your own research & do your assignments. A few modules do have exams. It is challenging but a great learning experience. Sheffield is part of the reputed Russel group of universities so a degree from here is globally respected. The UK has a massive South Asian community so you will feel at home. Indian food is extremely popular. Thus UK is a great country to live in as an Indian.

Likes (Student Life): Student life is amazing at University of Sheffield. The Student Union has been voted the best in the UK for many years now. I used to spend my day attending lectures, grabbing food at the various places on campus & hanging out with my friends. There are various events going on all year round. There are dozens of clubs from football, cricket to music, art. There is an Indian society as well.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I gave 3 because the UK Government has introduced very strict immigration rules. It is difficult to get a job as an International student. I would like to settle in the UK. However, its becoming very difficult & I don't know if I will be able to.

MS in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence - Batch of 2024

3.4

Limited support for freshers.

Tips: There was more of a lifestyle shift than a cultural shift for me as I moved to the UK as soon as I finished my undergrad. I started working part-time jobs to pay the bills. Due to the variety of restaurants and tiffin services available, British Indian food can be a bit bland. I prefer cooking, but there are also great local restaurants for students to explore. There is an area in Sheffield called London Road, which is known for its variety of food joints. I am satisfied with the university experience but not the course fully.

Dislikes (Internships): Due to limited guidance in finding or applying for relevant opportunities. Additionally, the internships are not directly provided by the university, and I received few responses from the companies I applied to. In my experience, the internships that I applied for were not directly relevant to the course of study.

BSc in Economics - Batch of 2026

Academically, university is excellent but personally it’s going to be extreme lonely

Tips: Anticipate well towards huge culture shocks and it's going to be very lonely so join societies. Try building a lot of connections and attending lectures. Finding part time is extremely difficult in the first year but you need to keep applying. Everything is going to be expensive.

MSc Urban and Regional Planning - Batch of 2023

4.1

Best life experience which I always wanted to have. I made good networks.

Tips: Before joining any college in the UK every student needs to know that you have to compromise with your comfort of life and work hard. Rather than going there and crying make sure you are ready for it. You have to learn time management. Manage your currency. Have a part-time job which is stable. Work on your assignments. Make your network strong.

Likes (Student Life): Considering Sheffield as a university town you will not have a campus, the whole city is your campus. You get to meet new people and there are many events organised, job fair etc. I was a part of the Indian society there. We had events organised by them.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There were few Indian-origin restaurants but mainly provided food as per UK taste. There is a restaurant named Maveli which provides good Kerala-type food. Cooking food at home would be preferable as having Indian food outside would be expensive. Best is to cook your own food as per your taste.

Academically, the university offers a good platform.

Tips: Students should be aware that while the University of Sheffield offers strong academic resources and a supportive environment, some practical aspects like course structure, lab access or career support might not always meet expectations. It’s important to actively seek out opportunities, engage with professors, and use available resources like the library and career services. Planning ahead and being proactive makes a big difference. I received a partial scholarship, it was reduced in my tuition fee. I’m satisfied. Academically, the university offers a good platform, and the UK has provided a rich learning and cultural experience. However, there are areas especially practical course components and job market support for international students that I feel could be improved.

Likes (Indian Food): Sheffield has a decent number of Indian and South Asian resting and grocery stores, which made it easier to find familiar food. From ready made meals to fresh spices and ingredients, most things are available if you know where to look. There are several Indian restaurants like Maveli and Butlers Balti House. They offer both dine in and takeaway options, with prices ranging from £10 to £20 per person depending on what you order. I prefer cooking at home most of the time, both for health reasons and to save money.

Dislikes (Value for money): I didn’t feel like my master's was worth whatever I paid. The way teaching was done or our assignments were structured I learnt a lot along the way, but still, it wasn’t worth that much. There was only one industrial visit, and I had hoped for a more hands-on experience.
