Diverse college campus and lots of learning opportunities.
Tips: Coming to UCL has been a transformative experience both academically and personally. The transition helped me grow significantly as an individual. Being surrounded by so many bright and passionate people naturally pushes you to think more deeply about your subject and to constantly improve yourself. I didn't feel a major culture shift as everyone at UCL was incredible pathetic welcoming and respectuful which makes adapting much easier. I feel extremely satisfied with my university course and country as a whole. At UCL I had the opportunity to learn from and work with some of the best professors, all of whom were exceptionally supportive and helpful throughout my academic journey making the experience even more rewarding.
Dislikes (Part time work): Although there are good opportunities both on and off campus, balancing them with the intensity of a one-year masters course is a bit challenging. UCL provides plenty of on-campus roles, especially for Bachelor's students, such as student ambassador positions and paid roles within the UCL Students' Union. UCL's career website is also very helpful, through which students can apply for part-time jobs and paid internships. Off-campus jobs are usually in retail, hospitality, customer service, and administrative work. Part-time work becomes more manageable during vacation when there is more time to catch up on studies. The average payout for part-time work in London typically ranges from 12-15 pounds per hour, and on-campus roles often pay slightly higher, around 14-17 pounds per hour.

UCL pushes you to be the best version of yourself.
Tips: The transition has been challenging. The workload I have is a lot here but then it's a part of the process. It's a prestigious university and hence it's academically rigorous. The best part is that all I have to do is ask for help whenever I'm struggling and there will be people around me who can guide me and help me with anything. I'm very happy and grateful for the opportunity to be a student at UCL and live in London.
Likes (Quality of faculty): I love the campus and the facilities that are provided. There are many amount of clubs and activities being conducted although I don't get to attend them frequently as I am busy. There are clubs for dance, music, debate, educational, academic, research, cultural linguistic societies and many more. I mostly spend my day attending lectures and catching up on them by studying in the library on campus. I also get to spend time with some of my amazing friends I met here.
Dislikes (Student Life): The faculty is really approachable, especially for my field. The kind of research exposure I'm getting here is phenomenal! The lectures involve the professor talking about their lab's research and its findings. The faculty is very diverse and friendly. They're really approachable for any sort of doubts or queries.

Economics BSc (Econ) - Batch of 2027

Vibrant and diverse campus life.
Tips: It is an amazing college to do an undergraduate degree at. It is friendly and welcoming. The academics are very strong. Student life is beaming thanks to the many student societies, frequent student events and joyful environment on campus. Here, you study hard and party harder.
Likes (Indian Food): There are an innumerable number of Indian restaurants in London, and food from any part of India you want. I was very pleasantly surprised by the taste too. On average, a good meal will cost you about 15-20 pounds pp. I prefer cooking at home than going outside.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It is a little difficult to obtain a work visa here after the visa requirements have changed. The volatile institutional environment around it discourages employers from hiring Indians, as it would require their support. There is still racism in the wider community.

Management MSc - Batch of 2026
3.9
There are many opportunities to engage and explore.
Tips: Students should know that transitioning into UCL especially the School of Management largely depends on their prior academic environment. For me it was a significant shift because the focus here is much more practical group work, interaction, teamwork and real-world application rather than only lectures or written assignments. From day one classes are highly engaging and you’re encouraged to participate instead of just listening passively. In terms of culture, London is a friendly yet professional place. People here balance warmth and formality very well whether it’s classmates, professors, or even the management team, communication feels open and respectful. Anyone coming from a different cultural or academic background might notice the shift, but it’s easy to adapt. Regarding scholarships, UCL offers limited options directly through the university. Once you receive your offer, they email you the scholarship details. I applied but did not receive one. Still, the process is straightforward. I’m extremely satisfied with my course and the university overall. The only minor drawback is that UCL has three campuses, and most events and societies are centered around Bloomsbury. Since SOM is in Canary Wharf, travel can feel expensive and sometimes makes us feel slightly distant from the main campus vibe. However, the SOM campus itself is stunning being on one of the top floors with panoramic views of London, sunsets, the skyline, Tower Bridge, and the London Eye is something truly special. The course content is well balanced and prepares you for the actual management world. As for the country, the UK, especially London, is welcoming, diverse, and full of opportunities. Living here genuinely feels like fulfilling a dream and gives a strong main character energy.
Likes (Student Life): Even with a busy academic schedule, there are many opportunities to engage and explore. As a management student I have compulsory 3 hour lectures every day and at least once a week I attend seminars or workshops that are optional but very enriching. UCL has three campuses- UCL School of Management where all management lectures happen, Bloomsbury and UCL East. Most social events take place at Bloomsbury. Our SOM campus mainly hosts academic sessions. Student clubs and communities aren’t campus-specific; they are open to all UCL students. There are clubs for arts, sports, music, reading, dance, hiking, cooking, cultural and religious groups, pride communities, and even niche ones like the Cat Club. The vibrancy of the UCL student community and the wide range of opportunities make student life active and enjoyable.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking for myself than eating out. it is affordable and allows me to choose exactly what I want. In Canary Wharf there are a few good Indian restaurants such as Dishoom Kricket IndiGo Rasoi Manjal and Mala by the riverside.

Resilient, purposeful and introspective.
Tips: I guess I have become more responsible, capable of handling my own finances and life. It’s overwhelming in the beginning, but once you find your ground and you start to make friends, it gets easier with time. Of course, there is a cultural and a mindset shift. The UK is more liberal, you can become your own person and craft your story in your own way.
Likes (Student Life): UCL has a lot to offer if you are ready and proactive to take on the opportunities. There are pro bono projects that you can be part of, social groups and creative societies such as Fashion society, International Politics, Dance, Cycling, Tennis, and travelling. Events vary across meet and greet sessions, career fairs, CV building workshops and some fun pop cultural events as well. I tried to participate in as many extra-curricular projects as I could, whilst balancing studies for my Master's. I stayed in uni halls as they are a great place to meet international people and make friends.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It’s competitive to get a skilled worker job but once you do get it, it gets slightly easier to eventually get a permanent status. I am not sure if I would like to stay in the UK permanently but for the next few years, I definitely do see myself working here. It's been almost 4 years and London feels home now. I like my career transition path but I might or might not eventually move back to Delhi.

Good for personal growth.
Tips: Know what you want to do. Start applying early on. Get your application right. It’s not that easy to get admission here. Once you come here you’ll be overwhelmed by the sheer vastness of the city and the uni, but do not let it intimidate you. Strive to do your best and aim to work here after graduation, so that it’s all worth it.
Likes (Student Life): From classes to pubs to society activities, it’s all great. You get to explore central London, which has a rustic yet modern feel to it. The east campus is in Canary Wharf, the business district, so that you get the corporate feel. The faculty is one of the best in the world, ranking is good, academically oriented and produces future assets, i.e., the graduates.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Chances are low because of the new and stricter immigration rules. Since the new rules introduced in July 2025 made it more difficult for companies to sponsor visas for jobs, it’s gonna be very hard to secure a permanent role after graduation. But you still have to try.
