MSc in Data Science - Batch of 2026

Offered by University of Bristol

3.9

Good academic environment.

Tips: I have learnt how to step out of my comfort zone and make the most of it. There weren't many cultural shocks other than the cost of some things, which are way more here and are considered essential back home, and the accents can be hard to follow at times. Otherwise, people are friendly and professors are very passionate about their lessons. Group projects are something you'll need to get used to if you're not already. Good environment.

A transformative academic journey at Bristol.

Tips: One of the first things I noticed after joining the University of Bristol was how seriously academics are taken here compared to the Indian education system. The professors are highly knowledgeable and clearly experts in their respective fields. Their passion for teaching and their subject areas really stand out, and it made me realise the value of studying at a top-tier university. The university is extremely supportive and responsible when it comes to student well-being, cohort management, and future career support. I've never had an experience where the university or staff were unresponsive or unhelpful. It truly feels like a place that wants its students to succeed. There are several scholarships available, and I would strongly encourage prospective students to apply. In many cases, the selection does not strictly depend on your past academic record or work experience. So don't hesitate, there's a good chance you might receive one if you apply thoughtfully. Overall, I've been very satisfied with my experience; the course was well structured, the academic environment is inspiring, and living in the UK, especially coming from a developing country, offers a great opportunity to grow both personally and professionally.

Likes (Internships): The university has a dedicated career service where you can book appointments for personalised support. They assist with CV building, offer training sessions, and help you write effective cover letters. They also connect students with opportunities such as the Internship Programme, where the university often funds the internship on behalf of the employers. Additionally, they provide information about career fairs, job openings, and various internship opportunities through their online platform.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): When it comes to permanent immigration, the university doesn't play a large role in it. The course, luck, and your past experiences are more important factors. In fact, I have seen many people move back home to their country after completing their master's programs because they didn't have enough job opportunities where they were studying.

Great for academics/short-term living. Tough for permanent settlement at the moment.

Tips: The University of Bristol is absolutely brilliant academically. The lectures are fantastic, the seminars are even better, and the faculty is top-notch. It has superb extracurricular activities and a vibrant student community. My transition has been smooth and permanently transformative. I’ve experienced a huge cultural and perception shift. The way people here lead a no-nonsense, multidimensional life, balancing out fun and studies, is something to learn from. I did not receive a scholarship from the university. Overall, I've had a good experience, but the course is not as good from an employment perspective. It’s also very difficult for international students to find work, and it can be tough to get the visa you need, which is a shame. The UK is a great country with a great work culture and amazing people, but the system is brutal and not designed to help international students, which makes getting a job extremely tough.

Likes (Indian Food): We've all kinds of Indian restaurants here, catering to South and North Indians alike. There is Urban Tandoor with around 15-20 per person on average, Dhamaka 13-15/person, Devs Kerala 8-10/person, Crispy Dosa around 15/person, Pappu Dosa 10/person, The Indian Lunchbox 7-8/person etc. I preferred a balance between eating outside and cooking at home initially, but things got hectic on my end, so I relied a lot on eating outside later.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): When I arrived, the chances of a permanent settlement were decent, but things have deteriorated significantly over the past two years, with further decline expected. So I'd rate the chances of permanent settlement in the UK poor right now, with it getting worse by the year. I'd definitely love to, and I'm currently trying to get in there permanently. I built my life there for over 3.5 years, but I had to come back home. However, it's tough right now to secure a visa-sponsored job due to the erratic nature of roles and hostile rhetoric against legal immigration.

MSc Communication Networks and Signal Processing - Batch of 2025

Offered by University of Bristol

A supportive and globally, engaging experience at Bristol.

Tips: Before joining the University of Bristol, students should be prepared for a culturally diverse and academically rigorous environment. The transition here involves adapting to an independent learning style and managing life away from home, which initially felt overwhelming. However, the support system, ranging from Academy advice to mental health services, helped me settle in. I haven't received any scholarships, but my friends have received a TB scholarship, which is incredibly tough to get. Only a handful of students receive the scholarship every year, and I know a few students who have also received a Shaven scholarship. Because I didn't receive any scholarships, I spent all the money from my education loan, which was a pretty high amount. Overall, I'm satisfied with my university, my course, and the country, but the cost of tuition is very high. I would only recommend applying to people with relevant experience related to the Master's coursework and who are willing to spend a huge amount of money as an investment toward their education.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Quality of faculty is great. The professors are not only highly knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in students. They are very approachable, whether during scheduled office hours or via email. They are always open to questions and discussions beyond lectures. The teaching methodology combines strong practical exposure along with theory, especially through research-led assignments, lab-based sessions, and industry-relevant case studies.

Dislikes (Indian Food): The options for affordable and tasty Indian food are quite less around the university. Some dishes feel adapted to local taste, and it's hard to find regional specialities. I prefer cooking at home, usually. The cost of Indian groceries is quite affordable, but travelling to Indian stores can't be done every time because it's a bit far from the accommodation and requires spending money on bus or taxi fare. Most of the Indian groceries are available in local stores like Sainsbury's, Lidl, and Tesco, so it's better to cook individually than to eat out at restaurants.

University of Bristol has a state of the art facilities but is expensive for abroad students.

Tips: Most of my learning came from outside the university rather than inside. Living in Bristol is one such experience one must have during their youth. Bristol offers good academics, a vibrant lifestyle and a community. The city is very diverse and friendly. The nightlife is amazing. It is a party hub of the UK, and the food is equally good. The countryside is scenic, it gets lovely and green in summer.
