International Relations MA - Batch of 2025

The university offers networking events, cultural festivals, and a career fair.

Tips: My transition to university has been smooth, as has my experience. There has definitely been an eye-opening experience in terms of an educational and cultural shift. There is also a cultural shift that I experienced, particularly in university life. I have been awarded a full-funded scholarship from the state government. I applied for this scholarship through the state government portals. Aside from this scholarship, the university offers other scholarships that one can also apply for. I am very happy with the university and with my course. Leeds University offers a complete academic experience combined with a talented and accomplished faculty.

Likes (Indian Food): A normal day at the university is like going to classes, hanging out with friends, talking about classwork, and joining study groups. I love the events on campus because there are networking events, cultural festivals, and a career fair. It gives us lots of energy. I love that there is a social group that puts on events that promote the well-being of students, both mentally and socially. In addition, I volunteer, and I encourage others to do so as well.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Faculty at university is highly approachable with designed office hours, it is easy for students to ask for guidance on coursework and also for career. The teaching methodology at university is a mix of lectures, seminars and group discussions. Teaching staff demonstrates diversity because professors from multiple nations teach at the university which brings diverse academic views and research approaches into the classroom.

International Journalism MA - Batch of 2025

3.3

It’s hard for international students with limited work experience to get on-campus jobs.

Tips: It is one of the best colleges to study, but don’t kid yourself into thinking it’s easy to get part-time work while you are there, or an entry-level position once you’ve graduated. You may have to do some work experience in the UK or have an in from a graduate before you’ll get a call back. Buses and trains are easily available. The buses are frequent and connect nearly every corner of the city, and also the nearby town. The Leeds Railway station connects the city to cities like Manchester, York, London and New Castle, making it easy to travel nationally. The station is well served and is also close to a local bus stop, making it easy to connect train and bus routes. Also, both bus and train services offer services like cashless payment, real-time online tracking, and student passes, making the transport both technological as well as financially convenient for international students. Overall, I think it is one of the best colleges in the UK, but it does take some effort to join it and I am highly satisfied with my experiences.

Dislikes (Part time work): The University of Leeds has some part-time jobs, but they're scarce and primarily go to experienced students. It’s really hard for international students with limited work experience in the UK to get both on-campus and off-campus jobs. Some international students get part-time jobs, but most of us don’t. Also, it usually takes about six to seven months to find a job. Until then, you have to pay for your meals and other costs.
