LLM International Commercial and Business Law - Batch of 2026

2.9

Getting exposure for a job and internship in your study course is very difficult.

Tips: The university and faculty members are good; whenever we need their assistance, they are there to assist us. If you think that you will earn while learning, that will not be possible here, like in some other countries. But if you have made up your mind to study, then this is a good university. The course I am still doing, and based on the theoretical knowledge alone, I think no law firm will take me here. Overall, it has been a good experience to be a part of the University of East Anglia.

Likes (Safety): Safety is not an issue for me. I have never faced any issue till today. Here on campus as well as off campus, you can easily go out at any time, anywhere. Safety-wise, it's a good city. No one cares about or judges you, whatever or wherever you want to go and do. People are also calm and polite. No one pokes you or says anything if you are going alone, either. Safety is good. The majority of places have CCTV cameras, and police patrolling can be seen as well. Especially on weekends, there's police presence near pubs, clubs, and on main roads. I have not heard any nuisance related to safety till now.

Dislikes (Part time work): It's really manageable to work off-campus. Time management is never a problem for me. But the first three months after reaching the UK, it's difficult to get work. I approached everywhere but couldn't find it. On campus, I applied but couldn't find any work. The average payout is 12 pounds per hour. It depends company to company and where you are working. I think the UK has to generate more job opportunities for students who are coming in the hope of exploring their professions and getting international exposure. Here, getting exposure and/or a job and internship in your study course is very difficult. I met with many students and people who are working post-study. The majority have not utilised their studies as they are not getting a job in their field, and after many rejections, they do any work to earn basic expenses.

The university is great and provides good internship opportunities.

Tips: Before joining the University of East Anglia for an M.Sc. in business and management students should be aware of the diverse and inclusive campus culture. Transitioning to UEA often involves adjusting to a collaborative and research-oriented environment. Many students experience a cultural shift, and new perspectives and lifestyles scholarships are available. I received one by applying to the universities on online portals with allowances covering some part of my tuition fee. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with UEA's academic rigour faculty and the vibrant city of Norwich, making it a great choice for international students.

Beautiful campus, and great faculty. A huge library and a great student support team.

Tips: Prefer to stay on the University campus, it is easy to attend classes and you will not be disturbed by the unnecessary hustle-bustle of landlords. Please be prepared with your finance (university fees + at least 6 months of expenses) and do not rely on getting this sorted with a part-time job.

Likes (Safety): The City of Norwich is safe and peaceful with ample security, and almost zero crime rate and you even girls will not hesitate to walk even on the dark road at 2 AM. Transportation is available till midnight and it is easy to commute from one place to another.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Getting sponsorship post-PSW is a challenge as it becomes difficult for organisations to prove your worth, especially for general courses like engineering and management. PSW is for two years and you need to prove your worth in that period to get the sponsorship. The research field has better chances for settlement.

Good future after studying here.

Tips: Come to study, do not just focus on work, learn from faculty and network well. Build your local knowledge and communication skills. Also, try to work in the field of your experience, that will be really helpful. Also, meet people from different countries and network.

Likes (Internships): You get jobs and networking opportunities easily. Also, if you are smart and have a good command over language then you can really establish yourself. Make sure to come here with good written, spoken and listening skills in the language as it is helpful.

Dislikes (Public transportation): At night, it is difficult to travel. There are very limited travel options, however, if you rent or have an electric scooter then it becomes easy for you. A taxi is expensive, however, the bus is convenient for that travel until midnight. Otherwise, rail transport is also good.

Good university to study in UK for masters

Tips: I got the M.Sc. training scholarship which was partially funded and I received a waiver of 5000 GBP on my tuition fee. There are many scholarships meritorious students can even get 10000 pounds off depending on luck as well. I like this university and everyone is helpful. Faculty and student bodies are all good.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation has no problems. Single line system and inter-changing is not required. I prefer the bus to go to my college as my accommodation is not far. I have gone to London, it took me 2 hours and 15 minutes to reach there by train. It is also very cheap which I like but not that much as compared to some other European countries.

Dislikes (Part time work): The university has many jobs but I don't know why they do not give it to students who are already studying there. In other universities, students get the job but here they bring others to do it and not the students which I didn't like. Outside the college jobs are available, hourly rate is 12 pounds don't work for something less than as some students have been made to feel foolish.
