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.

Exercise Medicine MSc - Batch of 2027
4.5
Productive and Studious.
Apart from what i title it, it depends on how you take it.
Tips: If you have anything else in your mind before coming to chester other that studying, like trying to focus less on studies and more in earning money, this is going to be difficult. you can earn what a normal student can earn in part time, nothing much.
Likes (Part time work): The choices if part time are vast off campus, on campus you have to try hard.
Time management is easy if you give yourself a proper schedule to studies and part time.
average pay out is the NI pay , which is 12.50 as of now.
might get low or high depending on when you come here.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I would say if you have skills and proper license you might have chances of getting sponsored.
Dont just think you can grab to branches and make it work. No, it doesn’t work that way. Be prepared to fry your brains first and then you can concentrate on earning and stuff. I am repeatedly saying these because i see most of the students going through this.

UNIVERSITY OF CHESTER IS QUITE OKAY
Tips: Coming here to join this course was not up to expectations. Here it's not like how we expected; the weather, food options, and part-time jobs are very different. It is difficult to adjust at first, but eventually everything will be fine. Budgeting is an important factor. The tutors are nice, but I do not like the teaching compared with India. Only 20 percent is what they teach; the rest we need to learn, understand, and write for assignments. The structure is different. It is not possible to study the practical side of a subject here. Quite worth the feels. I would say you can join here if you have certain experience, or join as an undergraduate. Many international students, especially from India, are studying for a master's. Not many Britons come here for master's; most can be seen as undergraduates. Many come here for PSW options. Students mostly stay in Chester, Liverpool, and Manchester. I say there are many options to stay in Liverpool, as there are cheap accommodation and food options for Indians, Sri Lankans, and Arabs. Part-time is difficult to get, so most of them go for care home or off-licence jobs. It is good if you want to get international exposure for quite some time, and you can work full-time during weekends.
Likes (Safety): Safety is a positive factor here at the university. I am studying at Queen's Park Campus. Other than students or staff, no one can enter without permission. Students or staff can enter the university with their cars. If any issues happen, the university will take strict action. As a bad experience, one or two times on the bus, they didn't give change for a big amount, so we had to use a card or mobile app for bus travel.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): We need to check online which jobs are available for sponsorship; otherwise, there is an option called the career hub at our university to check for post-study jobs. Job roles with this course, you can check with placement if opting for 2 years, maybe with banks, financial roles, or business analyst roles.
