U.K. is Difficult for International Students

Tips: It was a huge cultural shift, as there were fewer Asians compared to now coming to study in the U.K. Chester is a lovely place. Scholarships: I was a self-funded student and paid £13,860 per academic year (2018-2023). I had secured scholarships from India and got about £2000 scholarship towards my PhD tuition fees (which isn’t available now) With regards to my PhD research, it was independent work with no lectures or classes. My supervisor was very supportive throughout my PhD. In terms of the MSc taught course, I find it very challenging, as there are no good lecturers in the university for a few courses.

Likes (Public transportation): Honestly, traveling out of Chester is incredibly easy, mostly because the train station is so well connected. You can just hop on a direct train and be in Liverpool or Manchester in no time or easily head down to London and over into Wales without dealing with a million transfers. You can even catch trains straight up to Scotland or through the Midlands without a massive hassle. For getting around the city itself, the local buses are a decent shout. They have a good variety of routes that cover the main areas, even if they don't always run as late as you’d want them to on certain nights. If the buses aren't running, you can always rely on the local private taxi companies around town. Uber is also widely available here and super reliable when you're stuck, though the pricing can be a bit all over the place depending on the day and the time you're booking. If you're heading out on a weekend, just be ready for those surge prices, but you'll at least always find a ride.

Dislikes (Internships): I gave Chester a low score for internships and job prospects because the university is honestly a massive letdown when it comes to the biotech sector. Since Chester operates heavily as a teaching university rather than a proper, high-output research hub, the laboratory equipment is seriously lacking, which ends up severely limiting the actual hands-on, practical experience you can get. If you’re trying to build strong connections with the biotechnology industry, you’re basically on your own because the uni's network just isn't there. As a student, my biggest frustration was how they treat their own postgraduate researchers. I came in expecting far more support when it came to stepping into internal academic jobs or post-doc roles after finishing. Instead, the university consistently overlooks its own PGR students and openly prefers hiring outsiders. They basically treat international grads like a visa hassle they don't want to deal with. It sucks because you’re completely left to fend for yourself right when you need that first breakthrough in academia.

If education is your top priority, then choose this university.

Tips: A cultural shift is obviously present here, you need to mingle with all students of different ethnicities. I got a 2000-pound scholarship and it's better if we apply before enrolling here. I'm 100 per cent satisfied with the experience and curriculum of the course and post-graduation here in University but not with the country as there are a lot of flaws in the country, I often faced racism here.

Likes (Student Life): Library facilities and sports, gyms and everything in the University has provided a great place for spending time. As a postgraduate student, I really love it here every day there are games of different sports conducted and we need to register to participate. CSU in university is the union which organises all the events and other sports clubs that are there for every sport like cricket, hockey, football, swimming, callisthenics etc.

Dislikes (Part time work): There is very low availability of part-time jobs in the University, canteen and other event day jobs. The payment is the minimum wage in the UK. Part-time is manageable if you do under 15 hours more than that and we won't be able to focus on studies. There are job opportunity facilities here but they don't even give you a proper output of jobs so don't expect that here.

Assignments and teaching methods are different

Tips: I had a different study experience here compared to India. The teaching methods they follow here are completely different to what I have experienced in India. The assignments we do also differ a lot. Apart from that, the university is just fine with a lot of international students. I don't go to any university events as I live far away but you might like the university as it is much more fun.

Good university to study.

Tips: I am an undergrad student, first I thought that everything would be easy but it is not. If you also want to come and take up a Bachelors course prepare your mind. Not many Indian students will be in an undergrad class for Masters there are many so at first it feels like something alone but then it gets better. Chester is a small town but a good one, for me it is better as I don't want myself in a big city yet I want abroad exposure. I got an international scholarship of 2000 GBP and my course is good. In this university there are many unique courses mostly for students. Before applying be sure about what you want to study and whether will that help you or not then apply because the course curriculum is very specific.

Likes (Quality of faculty): More focus is given on assignments rather than exams. Some of the exams are MCQ based. The teaching method is more like students teaching the professors about a topic while the professor adds pointers and clear the doubt. I like this method more as it helps to learn and remember fast. Professors are very supportive and helpful at the same time and they motivate us.

Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking. I learned it myself, before coming to UK I could only make tea but then I realised that it is better to learn cooking as it is cheaper and homemade which is better for health. Some Indian restaurants are in Chester like Chain station for veg food and some halaal options are also available for non veg in balti house.

It was absolutely amazing. The city and campus was spot on. I would recommend this to everyone.

Tips: Good grades are not enough to get you a job nowadays. The competition is very high. Make sure to get some work experience alongside your studies. Even if it is just on the weekends, part time jobs and internships will have a great impact on your resume.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): Close to Manchester, Liverpool and Crewe you can find opportunities in various SME’s as well as MNC’s that are willing to offer you a visa sponsorship given you have the right qualifications and work experience for the job. The cost of living in these areas is also very affordable.

Dislikes (Internships): The university was very cautious about everyone’s health and wellbeing and thus not many opportunities were posted on the student job board but as soon as the situation was more stable, there were some really exciting opportunities. They did have many part time options in the university.
