MSc in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology - Batch of 2025

3.4

A supportive and green student city with strong academics.

Tips: The course is quite academic and research focused. There are several merit based scholarships. Students should check the university website to see which ones they are eligible for. The university experience was good and the course was informative. The country is great, although the job market is quite challenging.

Likes (Safety): Sheffield is safe for students. There are student support teams and local police partnerships that help ensure a secure environment for students living and studying in the city.

Dislikes (Internships): I rated internships 1 because finding an internship after master's program was very difficult. Guidance was very generic and there was no real support with applications. The university also had limited direct links with industry, so students mostly had to find internships on their own.

MSc Environmental Change and International Development - Batch of 2025

4.4

An experience that contributed to my self-growth.

Tips: The UK is currently going through major changes concerning International Studies. The course I studied at University of Sheffield was terrific, and with it came job opportunities but due to the increase in the rate for Sponsored Visas various companies tend not to hire international students. I wouldn't blame the university for it but it's just a tough job market to penetrate. At the same time everyone experiences vary different.

Likes (Public transportation): The city is well connected through Trams. A tram pass costs 49 pounds a month if you are a student and 50 pounds a month for the general population. Once the tram pass has been purchase the whole city is accessible. And, in addition to this, the city is walkable and everything is not more than 30 minutes away by walking. Lastly cabs are easily booked and there's a district nearby to visit for which buses function at all times from the bus station.

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.
