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.

Management MSc - Batch of 2026

4.1

Scholarship and career coach connections.

Tips: I am a recipient of the India Excellence Scholarship and I would highly recommend that students apply for scholarships and there are certain trips that they should know before coming here. Connection with the career coaches is very important from the start.

Likes (Indian Food): Back in my home country, I heard that there are very less options for vegetarian or vegan people, but that is not the case, even if each restaurant has just one or two vegetarian options, they are always present plus, it is in very much proximity to the campus, so in brakes, you can go and get yourself a bowl or something to eat.

Dislikes (Value for money): If you can apply for a scholarship, it would be better because even if back in India, you feel it's a small amount that you have received a scholarship, or there are different types of scholarships. Here which you can apply for. For example, the director scholarship which gives you a large amount off.

Technology Management MSc - Batch of 2027

4.0

Friendly people and campus.

Tips: My transition has been similar to almost every other international student here which makes one feel more reassured. My first semester here was quite overwhelming but things fell in place soon after. There is plenty of opportunity if you put yourself out there. Sponsorship has become quite rare now so make sure that you're mentally prepared for all possibilities. I feel the tuition fee for all international students is on the higher end especially when you compare it to local students but the scholarships can make a difference. Also the quality of education has matched up and if you secure a job afterwards, it seems justified.

UCL is amazing, in terms of staff, faculty, and crowd.

Tips: Just be open to making memories, don't stress a lot about employment, and keep putting in regular efforts. Enjoy time at UCL because usually classes are only 3-4 days a week, go out with your friends. UCL has a lot of good and student friendly bars, and a lot of food joints as well. No cultural difference, UCL is very acceptable, and students from all over the world come to UCL.

Likes (Student Life): UCL is amazing in terms of staff faculty and crowd. It is located in the heart of London which is the main campus. They have various societies and different events happening almost every day. I was a part of the UCL pro bono project and it was really nice. I participated in 2 to 3 dance events as well and everything was beyond good. UCL is good in terms of getting the right exposure a good crowd and making memorable memories.

Dislikes (Internships): The university provides guidance and support to students however current UK market is challenging. Internships are available applications need to be submitted 5-6 months before and the process requires rigorous and continuous effort. Universities provide websites but an independent application is more important.

International Public Policy MSc - Batch of 2025

5.0

Privileged to be a UCL alumnus.

Tips: I have transitioned. Scholarships are less so you need to work hard. I didn't really experience a cultural shift because I was quite exposed to Western culture and countries since I was a child. I love London and my university; I graduated last month with a Merit overall and a distinction in my dissertation which is also being published, and I work in London now.

Likes (Internships): Whilst I was in college I used to visit libraries, student cafes, we were in Bloomsbury which was the heart of London, so everything was within walking distance. I was the Vice President of the International Public Affairs Society. UCL has 1000s of societies.

Dislikes (Safety): The department is very accessible and accommodating. The word I'd like to use is student friendly. UCL teaching doesn't just give you facts, it makes you learn how to think critically. The teaching faculty is very diverse. It's a global university. There are people from all nationalities.

Pharmaceutics MSc - Batch of 2025

4.5

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.
