My Leeds Experience: Academics, Lifestyle, and Career Prospects
Tips: Do thorough research on the immigration laws. This is the part most students who come here with an ambition of landing a job forget about. If you're coming to this country solely for the purpose of education, I would wholeheartedly recommend it, especially Leeds as a city. It is vibrant and beautiful with so much diversity and people from all backgrounds.
Likes (Indian Food): There's a plethora of restaurants in Leeds with cuisines from all across the globe. Not just Indian. There are pubs in every corner, not just for drinks but for good food as well. There are many AYCE restaurants, hot pot, sushi, the list can go on. - I prefer eating food I cook myself, but I do eat out once in a while when I'm out with friends.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Looking at the UK right now, the Home Office has made things incredibly tough for international students. The salary threshold to get a skilled worker visa sponsorship is now up to £38,700 for most roles, which is honestly a massive ask for a fresh graduate. Unless you're doing something incredibly specialized or already have a ton of experience under your belt, trying to get a company to sponsor you straight out of uni is a massive uphill battle.
A lot of companies might hire you at first on the Graduate Visa, which gives you two years to work after finishing your degree. But the reality is, once those two years are up, most employers will just let you go instead of sponsoring you because the costs are so high. Companies have to shell out thousands for the sponsor license and the Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS), which most just don't want to do for entry-level roles. There’s also been non-stop talk about the government tightening up the rules even further, like pushing the route to PR from 5 years out to 10, which just adds a massive layer of uncertainty.
Being here at Leeds, the uni itself is great, but looking at the bigger picture outside of campus, the overall vibe toward immigrants across the country has gotten pretty tense with the rise of right-wing politics. Honestly, with the visa hustle being this brutal and the general atmosphere shifting the way it is, I’m really not sure if I’d even want to stay here permanently anymore.

Great University, Great Exposure - Just Come Prepared
Tips: Before joining the University of Leeds, students should know that it's an amazing experience, but it does come with its challenges—the cost of living, the weather, and adjusting to a completely new academic system can be a lot to handle initially, so being mentally and financially prepared is really important. The cultural shift is real, as coming from a different country, everything from the food habits and social norms to the pace of life and communication style feels different at first, but you gradually settle in and honestly start enjoying the diversity around you. In terms of scholarships, I did avail myself of one—the process involved submitting a strong personal statement, maintaining a good academic record, and applying well in advance through the university official scholarship portals, and the allowance helped in partially offsetting the tuition, which was a big relief. Overall, I am genuinely satisfied with my experience; the University of Leeds has a strong academic reputation, the course content is well-structured and industry relevant and the UK as a country offers great exposure and career prospects, but it's not a perfect journey, but it's absolutely a worthwhile one, and I would recommend it to any serious student who is ready to put in the effort and make the most of the opportunity.
Likes (Student Life): Honestly, student life at Leeds is an absolute 5 out of 5 and easily one of the best parts of being here. A normal day is usually just a solid mix of hitting lectures, grabbing coffee with friends, and just chilling around campus. The whole vibe here is super lively and inclusive. There’s always something random going on so you never really feel bored or left out.
The uni and the student union constantly throw events, everything from cultural festivals to open mic nights, which are awesome for taking a break and meeting people. Plus, the sheer amount of clubs and societies they have is insane. Whether you want a sports club, a debate group, or a society for your own nationality, there’s literally something for everyone. Especially as an international student, joining these groups is pretty much how you find your crowd and make the place feel like home.
Dislikes (Internships): Honestly, I had to give the internship situation a 3 out of 5. Don't get me wrong, Leeds does have some decent tools like the MyCareer portal and they do host job fairs, but the actual support just isn't that hands-on. When you're an international student trying to figure out the UK job market totally from scratch, it’s honestly pretty brutal. The careers team is nice enough if you go out of your way to find them, but they definitely aren't going to chase you down—it’s 100% on you to take the initiative.
As for the actual jobs, yeah, there are placements that fit certain majors but it feels super limited depending on what course you're doing and the competition is just crazy. The uni isn't doing a terrible job or anything, but we really need more direct, structured tie-ups for specific degrees.

Leeds Mirror for International Students
Tips: Meeting people from different countries and sharing ideas is a better way to improve your soft skills. The method of teaching there is also unique. For scholarships, one must apply before the deadline, and if you're planning to study abroad, plan in advance, like for the UK, one should plan 10 months in advance. Most students in my course were Chinese, and a few were from different parts of the world.
Likes (Indian Food): Indian food is available all around the campus. However, the pricing of food may be expensive even if you're earning and working part-time. I prefer cooking myself and eating outside once a week according to my budget. I tried stocking nonperishable goods in the first week, and for perishables like milk, bread, fruits, and vegetables, I walk about 2 km to buy them from Aldi, the cheapest store in the UK.
Dislikes (Internships): In the UK or any other western nation, students are on their own. Finding an internship is really difficult, especially for people who haven't had experience there. For an internship, you need good references and support of the academicians, who can guide you through the process. There are career fairs where you can meet people from corporates. However, the application process is really time-consuming, and you waste a lot of time completing it.

My dreams my journey from Delhi to Leeds
Tips: Fitting into the British culture is honestly just about a bit of a cultural shift—you really just need to be an extrovert and open to starting conversations, and you'll be completely fine. I actually managed to get a £5,000 scholarship that was specifically set up for Asian students which helped out a lot. Overall, I’d easily rate my experience a 9 out of 10. The uni itself is amazing, the campus is always super lively, and Leeds is just an incredible city to live in—plus it’s way cheaper than London. If you're looking for serious global exposure as a student, I’d definitely tell you to head to the UK. But if you're going purely just to land a job right after, I probably wouldn’t suggest it.
Likes (Indian Food): It's definitely cheaper to cook yourself. If you are going out, you can expect to spend around £10-50 for a meal for two, depending on the restaurants. There are a variety of restaurants, like Indian Tiffin Room and Udaipur; they're definitely a bit on the expensive side, but their food is worth it.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Currently in the UK the job market is very tough to crack due to anti-immigration laws. Every employer seeks a citizen or ILR or someone who has stayed for a longer duration is given more preference. If you ask me according to the current situation, I wouldn't volunteer to immigrate permanently.

Life changing experience
Tips: Honestly, it’s a massive experience. Between the classes and all the campus events, it really forces you to see things differently. You end up meeting people from literally everywhere and learning from professors who actually know their stuff. By the time you finish, you’re basically a completely different person
Likes (Public transportation): The best part about Leeds Uni is that it’s right in the city center, so you can basically walk everywhere. If you do need to head further out, the buses are super easy to use, and you get a decent student discount. Traveling around the rest of the UK is not too bad either like if you grab a railcard, it can actually be pretty cheap to just hop on a train and go explore new spots on the weekend.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): For international master's students, there is not much opportunity available nowadays to be given a work sponsorship visa. Employers prefer to give sponsorship to students who have been in the UK since their bachelor's program or who are British nationals.

MSc International Business - Batch of 2023
4.9
The University of Leeds is best for International Business.
Tips: Come as early as possible. You must join the on-campus early welcome event and the first day of class. It's really helpful to understand the class, campus, classmates, networking, rules, and culture. There are very limited options for scholarships.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus is near the city center and we'll be connected to bus service across all student areas. There's a city bus every 5 minutes around the campus. There are around 15 bus stops across the campus. Also, 24/7 bus service and free night cab service are provided by the university for students.
Dislikes (Value for money): Tuition fees are too high compared to other universities with similar rankings and for similar courses. Teaching, assessment, campus life, and the alumni network are strong, but if you compare the price of the same course at other universities, you can find it cheaper for 31,000 to 35,000.
