BSc Hons in Finance and Investment Banking - Batch of 2028

3.4

A good option for specific courses

Tips: It wasn't a really big transition for me, but from what I've noticed, it could be really tough on some people. The best advice I can give is to make great friends, they make college life better. I received the international student scholarship, which is granted for extracurricular activities, it gives me a discount of 3500 pounds for the first year. I'm pretty satisfied with my university, morely by course, since it's really specific and teaches me exactly what I need to learn. Overall, the UK is a great place to live and study, but you need to work hard to make the most of it.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation in London is very well connected, the only downside is that it takes way longer during the day. It's very affordable and convenient, but a 30-40 minute car ride could take almost 1 hour by bus, but the tubes are quite fast. More expensive than the buses, but they get you there way faster.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): From what I have seen, unless you are attending a top 5 university in the UK, getting a post-graduation job is really tough, but that doesn't mean it's not possible. If you focus on your CV, you have a higher chance of getting it than everyone else. Try your best to get part-time jobs because that's what gives you experience to get post-graduation jobs.

M.Sc Pharmaceutical Sciences - Batch of 2024

1.7

Practical pharma degree with London exposure

Tips: Before joining the University of Greenwich for an M.Sc. in Pharmaceutical Science, know that London is expensive. Tuition is around 18,700 pounds, and living costs add up fast. Also, long-term visa sponsorship is competitive, so use the 2-year Graduate Route wisely. The transition was culturally smooth because London is so diverse. The biggest shift was independent learning and budgeting on my own. I availed myself of the International Scholarship Award. It gave a up to 3,000-pound tuition discount after I accepted my offer, with no monthly allowance. Overall I'm satisfied. University and course: 4/5 for labs and industry link. Country: 4/5 for opportunities, but high cost and visa rules are the main challenges.

Likes (Indian Food): I rated food options from my country of origin a 5 because London makes it really easy to find familiar food. Around Greenwich and nearby areas you get lots of Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Turkish, African, and Caribbean restaurants. A curry or biryani is about 12 to 18 pounds, shawarma and kebabs are 8 to 12 pounds, and African/Caribbean plates are 10 to 16 pounds. There are also Asian grocery stores for spices and basics. I prefer cooking at home most days because it's cheaper and tastes like home but I do eat out 2 to 3 times a week when I'm busy. Eating out is convenient; cooking saves money.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): I gave it a 1 because the job situation after graduation is much tougher than expected, especially for international students. The positive side is that you get the UK Graduate Route visa for 2 years after your M.Sc. That means you don't need a sponsor right away. You can work in labs, QA, research assistant roles, or even outside pharma just to build experience and income. The challenge comes after those 2 years. To stay longer, you need a skilled worker visa, and that requires a job offer of at least 38,700 pounds per year from a licensed sponsor. Most entry-level pharmaceutical roles in the UK start between 28,000 and 33,000 pounds, so they don't qualify. Also, many companies simply list no visa sponsorship. Companies that do sponsor are mostly the big ones: GSK, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Sanofi, NHS, IQVIA, and Labcorp. Beyond that, sponsorship is mostly for shortage roles or experienced hires. Typical roles for M.Sc. grades are quality assurance, analytical scientist, regulatory affairs, R&D, formulation, and clinical trials support. Salaries usually start around 28k-33k in London, then rise to 35k-45k with 2-3 years of experience. Greenwich data shows graduates earn about 27k after 15 months and 29k after 3 years. So the course and London location are great, but if your goal is long-term sponsored work, start targeting shortage-list pharma roles early.

MA International Business (with Placement) - Batch of 2025

4.3

A great learning experience at the university of Greenwich

Tips: The University of Greenwich is very diverse, and you all will meet students from all over the world. The transition was smooth overall; at first I had to adjust to the teaching style, but since London is very multicultural, I felt welcome and adapted quickly. I did receive a scholarship of 3000 pounds, and I am very satisfied with my experience. Living in the UK, especially in London, gave me international exposure, helped me grow personally and professionally, and allowed me to meet people from different cultures.

Likes (Internships): I gave internships a top score because studying at Greenwich puts you at a huge advantage when it comes to landing industry experience. My placements were directly tied to my course material, so instead of just doing busywork, I was actually applying what we learned in lectures to real projects alongside working professionals. The university’s Employability Hub was a massive help with polishing CVs and setting up interviews, but the real benefit is simply the location—being right next to Canary Wharf and central London opens up endless placement and internship opportunities across tech, finance, and creative industries. The connections I built during my internship didn't just boost my practical skills; they gave me a solid professional network in London before I even graduated.

Dislikes (Safety): I gave safety a lower rating not because Greenwich feels constantly dangerous, but because phone snatching and opportunistic theft around here are genuinely out of hand. Right outside campus around Cutty Sark, the DLR station, and Greenwich Market, phone snatchers on e-bikes and mopeds are constantly looking for students texting while walking. It’s super common to see someone get their phone ripped right out of their hand in broad daylight if they're not paying attention. While the campus grounds themselves feel reasonably secure with campus security around, walking back to student accommodation or taking the bus late at night means you have to keep your head on a swivel. Greenwich is a great area overall, but between phone thieves, pickpockets in crowded tourist spots, and the general roughness of certain spots in South East London after dark, you really can't let your guard down.

MBA Global - Batch of 2023

4.1

Friendly and supportive people.

Tips: Gradually, there was a transition from cultural to academic. In the beginning, it might challenge you, but taking it positively and not personally made me stronger and helped me understand the foreign culture. It also helped me to make some good friends and colleagues. I did not avail any scholarship. Very satisfied with my University, course and country, of course.

Likes (Student Life): I used to spend time attending lectures, seminars and workshops in my college days. What I liked most was following my hobby along with this. A lot of events are organised throughout the academic year, such as cultural festivals, parties, meetups, and more. Mainly, I used to indulge in sports activities, such as football.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Considering the strict UK Immigration policies for graduating students, in my opinion, I found it to be challenging for students. The supply and demand of graduates has been inflating the job market after COVID-19, which makes it less ideal for settling in the UK as a student.

The career support team is helpful.

Tips: You have to find your own placement. The career support team will be a good guide in the journey, but the responsibility is upon you to find a part-time job or a full-time job. For my course there was no scholarship, and overall my experience with the university was satisfactory.

Likes (Student Life): The student life is amazing and full of activivites wheather it is about your course needs or afteruniversity activvities at the university. The uni has a inhouse pub, best for hangout. There are also a lot of clubs to choose from, also youcan cretae your own club and participate in various events happening all year round at RivFitz.

Dislikes (Safety): A lot of burglaries are reported in the area where I live. Petty crimes like burglaries of phones and wallets are very common, and being an international student, it becomes very difficult if your phone or wallet gets stolen. Another reason is that drugs like weed are very easily available, which makes the international students a bit more exposed to drug abuse for some.
