Computer Science MSc - Batch of 2026
4.4
MSc Computer Science at UCL
Tips: Huge cultural shift. Students/ professors/ staff are very professional, and the same is expected of you. The way of teaching is very different, one must study and be prepared for the lecture, as they are interactive. I did receive a scholarship based on merit. Very happy with my experience, will recommend 10/10.
Likes (Internships): There is a wide variety of opportunities available when it comes to internships and good mentors, depending on how much work we put into them. There are a lot of organizations that offer internships in different sectors, but getting one may involve a lot of networking and hard work. We will give you an edge by using your career advisor.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): There are however, various means by which one may go about becoming a permanent resident in the UK. It is a very hard thing to be sponsored by an employer and stay permanently in the UK. Most employers do not have any problems at all employing graduates using the PSW visa method, and thus this is a good opportunity for you to demonstrate your skills and experience.

4.5
A challenging but rewarding experience in the heart of London
Tips: I had a smooth transition to UCL. Although studying in London is very different from school because of the independence between time and academics now. One of the biggest positives is how international and diverse the university is, so you meet people from a huge number of backgrounds. Overall, I am very satisfied. The workload of my course is very intense, but it provides a very strong technical foundation for your career.
Likes (Student Life): Student life at UCL is one of the best parts of studying here because there is always something happening alongside academics. My normal day involves lectures, studying around campus, and spending time with friends, as well as getting involved in societies and other activities, with regular social events. As Punjab Society president, I will say this was definitely very enjoyable for anyone coming from India.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are part-time job opportunities on and off campus, but those on campus can be highly competitive. At UCL, students can have part-time opportunities as ambassadors, administration, and events staff. In addition to that, as the university is located in Central London, there can be part-time job opportunities in the retail and hospitality industry. The secret is to keep the hours down.

4.5
Best in the UK for both best education and that University Life
Tips: I love the multicultural and open-minded thoughts that the whole campus shares regarding everything, and all academics will help you in the best possible ways for your ideas. Very satisfied with the course and university and would recommend this as a path to anyone who wants to experience abroad education.
Likes (Part time work): A lot of opportunities within the university, which are posted on university's website accessible to all students, as well as numerous opportunities in the local market Unless you are interested in regular long-term hardware competitions for which you have to spend countless nights soldering and debugging code. Part-time work is manageable. The avg payout is about £10.50 per hour for both uni and local market jobs.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Not likely in the current political scenario where permanent residency is being lengthened with a 10-year baseline wait. Also, employers here now tend to hire only if you are a citizen or PR holder. Though, if successful in getting a job post-graduation, then PR is obtained in 5 years.

An experience of a lifetime if you're willing to take charge
Tips: If you don't have a scholarship, I would recommend working part-time. It's pretty doable and also a good break from studies. - London is great in terms of public transport. Try to have a basic understanding before going (Oyster card, bus, underground, train, etc.). Otherwise, it may get a bit overwhelming. I would recommend the TFL app.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty gets a high rating because UCL professors are top-tier researchers who are surprisingly accessible during office hours. The level of teaching and depth you get in lectures is incredible. Just keep in mind that UCL relies heavily on self-directed study. Professors expect you to take ownership—they give you the framework and primary literature in class, but going beyond the reading list and digging deeper is entirely up to you.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent immigration gets a low rating because staying in the UK long-term after UCL is a complete minefield. Sure, you get the 2-year Graduate Route visa to work post-graduation, but transitioning from that to a Skilled Worker visa is ridiculously tough. UK salary thresholds keep rising, and a lot of companies flat-out refuse to sponsor international candidates because of the administrative costs. I'd love to settle here if the right sponsored role came along, but as an international student, the immigration policy makes it a constant uphill struggle.

​Navigating Academics, Funding, and Life as an International Student at UCL
Tips: Students should know more about the coursework, as well as the academic hierarchy It's explicitly written on the website; having good knowledge will actually help you in setting faster (with respect to courses and academics). Personally, there was no cultural shock, as London was pretty much different nationalities, including Indians in huge numbers. I got a departmental scholarship, which is academically promising. Other bursaries are more like financially based; your parents' financial status comes into play. I felt this was one of the best choices I have made because of its research quality, multidimensional approach, and quality.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is really good in this university, since I am on the clinical side; we are mostly within the hospital grounds, despite that, student volunteers organize variety of programmes every week, specific meetups and leisure parties A lot of events are organized throughout the academic year; that even includes taking students on field trips, and I am specifically part of the football club, Indian dance society, and reading club.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time jobs are quite hard to find, especially given the city situation. As it's London, there's massive crowd pull, and likewise opportunities are very competitive Ideally, part-time jobs are manageable when you have your coursework; once after your thesis it becomes little tricky The average payout here in London is 14 pounds per hour.

LLM (Master of Laws) - Batch of 2026
4.3
A great adventure to explore
Tips: The university and country are good, but they have asked for help because, unlike in India, the help is readily available. People are expected to be more independent. In the university the classes are not spoon-feeding like in India. You have to prepare for the classes in order to understand and participate in the classes.
Likes (Indian Food): I gave the local dining scene top marks because King’s Cross and Bloomsbury are stacked with options. You’re definitely not stuck with basic takeout—just a short walk from UCL, there’s Thai street food, Greek gyros, Lebanese wraps, Turkish kebabs, and proper Indian dishes everywhere. When you need something fast between classes, Canopy Market and King’s Cross station are ideal. Pulling off a filling meal for £10 to £15 in Central London is surprisingly doable. From grab-and-go shawarmas to sit-down treats at Dishoom or a simple biryani, you'll never run out of good spots.
Dislikes (Part time work): Since I was pursuing an LL.M., there were not a lot of part-time work options available for me in the university, nor did I do any part-time jobs. So, I have no information about it. But the internship opportunities at law firms and international firms and organizations were great and always given to us.
