Sheffield is student friendly city. You are going to love it.

Tips: In general, the UK is expensive. The job market is not great at the moment. I would suggest waiting for a year or so if you’re keen on doing a master's from the UK itself. I got a scholarship which smoothed things out in the beginning. There was a reduction in the tuition fee. I met my friends in Bangalore and we ended up sticking together throughout.

Self study is appreciated.

Tips: If you really want to develop your skills you can join here or whichever university you choose. Here in the UK you have to study by yourself (self-study), it will not be like an Indian teaching system (like a spoon-fed system), though you can reach out to staff if you have any queries in classes, through mail and personally in their office, they will help you with how you can work with it. It is a good university but the fees are too expensive so think twice before coming here.

Likes (Safety): In Sheffield, it's safe compared to other places like London, the people are so kind; apart from campus security even the student accommodation has a secure gate so only specific people are allowed inside. Still now I haven't faced any bad experiences but I heard some; it's not a major issue.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Due to the new rule changes, it's hard to get settled here. You don't get an easy settlement, have to run for the job with a specific salary limit and have to get a sponsorship job so that you can continue to stay here in the UK. If I get a chance to permanent immigrate here to this country I would like to stay here but I will miss our Indian food more.

Fab, excellent and joyful.

Tips: Given the visa regulations changes by UKVI at present, someone should only join this university if they are willing to spend a hefty amount from their savings during the academic year, because they will have to dedicate their entire time to academics. You will not get any time for part time work. The university will not shy away from failing you in subjects if you are not up to the mark.

Likes (Indian Food): The city has every type of Middle Eastern, European, Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asian origin restaurant and stores. You will get the best fresh fruits and vegetables in the Tesco grocery store. The city’s 20% of its population are students. We have the Peak District National Park to explore nature.

Dislikes (Internships): Very less people have found internships here in my circle. The visa regulations have affected recruiters to restrict themselves from hiring immigrants, as they have to provide sponsorship to move forward. This has been a major issue faced by students in the UK.

MSc Management - Batch of 2025

4.7

A place of growth and opportunity.

Tips: Students should be prepared for a fast paced academic transition with a major emphasis on independent learning and open discussions. Time management and active participation really matter. I did avail an initial 2000 scholarship by applying early.

Likes (Part time work): Part time is very common among the students here. There are pretty good on-campus as well as off-campus opportunities if you want some extra money. You are allowed to work 20hours a week which is easily managable but hugely depends on the course curriculum. Average payout is 12-15 pounds.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent settlement in this country usually depends on the sponsored work visa and the chance of getting it is moderate to high, usually depending on skilled based opportunities. Given the chance I would permanent immigrate but only if that aligns with my career goals.

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.
