Value for money; the university offered an outstanding overall experience.
Tips: Transition was smooth, cultural shift was mild. British people are polite and reserved. I enjoyed the independence and the work-life balance. The biggest change was adapting to the food and weather initially. I secured a Global Excellence Scholarship which was a merit-based scholarship. You have to write an SOP for your course for this. I was very satisfied with my overall experience.
Likes (Value for money): Value for money because the University offered an outstanding overall experience. The faculty was excellent, the campus was very beautiful and the city of Exeter made student life truly amazing. The quality of education, practical exposure and personal growth I received made the entire investment worth it.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I could not find sponsorship in my preferred domain of management consulting. After completing my master's and working on operations for 2 years, I decided to return to India. If I had to try, the chances are low due to the high salary threshold.

It's good, but your hard work makes it even better.
Tips: I mean, you will have the calm surroundings in the beginning, but after you get used to it, you will start loving. I got the usual one, 3,000 GBP, because I was late for my application. The course is very fast paced, you won't learn much, frankly. You have to do all the things like learning by yourself no one will spoon-feed you.
Likes (Student Life): It mainly consists of lectures, and you have to walk a lot, then the assignments, and group work. I like the campus a lot. All sorts of events, from encouraging your culinary skills to the job hunt, are arranged. It depends on your course.
Dislikes (Value for money): I think if you apply early like in Feb or May, you could get a good scholarship, like 10,000 GBP then it is worth, otherwise, you should take any good course in India. Because the end goal is to get a job, and getting a job is a job in itself. So learn from India and apply it there.

Great learning Environment with strong academic support.
Tips: The University of Exeter is supportive and academically strong, with an independent study style. My transition was smooth with some cultural shift. I received a 40% tuition scholarship and I am very satisfied with the university and my course. Great professors and strong module structure.

Nice experience but not worth the money invested in.
Tips: From university, I applied for the scholarship. Generally, you would get around 5000 -10000 pounds of scholarship from the university. Even though you struggle with money sometimes, university helps you. They give hardship funds for students who are really struggling to cover normal expenses. If you are taking a 40 Lacs loan. It's not worth it at all; you will learn better on YouTube. Learning in the UK is all about self-study.
Likes (Safety): Exeter is one of the safest cities in the UK. If you are staying in the campus apartments or even in private apartments you will have university police. Even if you call them at any time, they will come to help you and try to solve your problem. I have done night shifts as well in part-time, I never felt any danger. Exeter is one of the safest places in the UK.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Lots of people are coming here by taking a loan of around 40 Lacs. The syllabus and study are not worth that. You can learn better on YouTube. Recently the UK government has reduced postgraduate visas from 24 months to 18 months as well they have increased the salary range to 43000 for sponsored visas. Fortunately I got the job but 90 per cent of people from my batch didn't get the jobs and they are still doing part time because they have a big loan to pay. If you are coming without loan, it's worth it to explore a new life and a new side but if you are taking a 40 Lacs loan just for study and considering the job market in the UK, it is not worth it at all. Start your own business in India within 40 Lacs that will have more Roi.

University is good and staff is experienced and very helpful.
Tips: This university is good if you are coming from any other country, as the city is friendly and you feel a lot safe and happy. The only drawback is that the social life sucks, and you can feel the difference as you can get shocked by the various culture that goes around Exeter.
Likes (Safety): The security and nature of people in Exeter are very nice. All of them are friendly and always help if they think you are in trouble, and they are very kind, so it's a lot safe in Exeter, also, at night, you don't feel threatened, only if you encounter a drunk Brit on the weekend, who will always say something or the other way around.
Dislikes (Value for money): There are many other universities that are far better than Exeter and have so much more value, like Leicester and other universities. The only positive is that it comes under the Russel group and it's quite peaceful. But the city is dead, no social life, no fun at all.

Exeter is an incredible university with highly knowledgeable and experienced faculty.
Tips: Many scholarships are available; I received the Dean's List Scholarship, a 3000 award and more options are available. The multicultural environment offers lots of growth and work opportunities. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the university; it is very professional and modern.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): The 2-year Post Graduate Work Visa requires sponsorship. While permanent immigration is possible, it's not easy. Consider the benefits of being a temporary or permanent resident. Focus on your mental health and happiness; the university offers support for various issues.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Walking is the most convenient way to get around Exeter, as buses are infrequent. The university has some shuttle options which are free that run multiple times a day from various locations.
