Leeds - A year of learning, growing, and creating a lifelong memories.

Tips: Students need not worry about anything, as the transition is made very smoothly through the Welcome Week. These activities help you settle in every way - whether it's attending classes, joining societies, gaining visa-related information, or mingling with fellow course mates. The University location is highly convenient, with everything close by, as Leeds is a very student-friendly city. The M.Sc. in International Business course is highly practical, with a strong focus on case studies that connect you to real-world business scenarios.

Likes (Value for money): Value for money is truly worthwhile, as the practical exposure gained through industry visits, assignments, and part-time jobs is phenomenal. I also had the opportunity to participate in a global study tour, which was highly insightful. I even had an opportunity to work as a Link to Leeds Ambassador, which gave me an opportunity to connect and work with people from all over the world.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Many companies offer visa-sponsored jobs; however, securing such an offer requires strong skills, professionalism, and relevant experience in the role. Salary ranges vary by position and are aligned with industry standards, ensuring fair and competitive compensation.

BA Business Management - Batch of 2026

Offered by University of Leeds

3.4

The academic experience and university life do not adequately compensate for the investment.

Tips: Be mindful of friendships that could hinder your progress. Prioritise your goals and be direct. Don't delay applying for internships; prepare your CV promptly. The culture here often revolves around socialising, and unfortunately, racism can be an issue in the UK.

Likes (Safety): The city is generally safe, especially since it's a student-focused area, and the police are often present around campus. The university app also offers several emergency services for students who feel unsafe. Overall, it's one of the better cities in the UK, though Manchester has a better university.

Dislikes (Value for money): I don't think the Business Management course is worth paying a 1 crore INR tuition fee. The academic experience and university life do not adequately compensate for the investment. The course content feels basic and could be pursued in India. However, I appreciate the opportunities for extracurricular development.

Underwhelming experience for international students.

Tips: Students should be aware that while University of Leeds has a strong reputation, the support for international students is limited. There was definitely a cultural shift. Adapting to the academic style in the UK especially the self-study approach and limited direct approach was challenging. I didn't receive any scholarship. Accommodation is hard to find near campus. It is quite expensive as well.

The college is friendly and welcoming.

Tips: There is definitely a cultural change to be experienced here, so please be open and friendly to all cultures and try to make friends with everyone. I am satisfied with the university and the course, but probably not the country.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is very nice and supportive to international students. However, my finance teacher in my first year didn't know much about teaching, and despite submitting many complaints, there was no change in their teaching methods.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I don't want to live in this country for a long time. I have faced racism even though not in the university, and it is also difficult to get a job here with visa sponsorship with the recent change in the governance.

The college is great with amazing campus facilities.

Tips: Before joining any college, it is important to research the quality of the course, the expertise of the faculty, and the career opportunities provided by the college. It is equally important to understand the campus culture, the extracurricular activities, and the cost of living in the area. Speaking with current students or alumni can also provide valuable insights into the college experience and any challenges to anticipate. Moving to a new place can be exciting but also overwhelming. You might notice differences in teaching style, social interactions, or even how people spend their free time. For some, it's the food or weather that stands out, while others notice academic expectations or communication style. Adjusting takes time, but participating in campus activities or joining student groups can make the transition smoother. If you're eligible, scholarships can significantly reduce financial stress. To apply, you usually need a strong academic record, extracurricular achievements, or financial need. The allowances vary some cover tuition fees fully or partially, while others include living expenses. It's worth checking the college website or contacting the admissions office for specific options and deadlines. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences here.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is well-connected and affordable. Students can get a day bus pass for 5 pounds, which allows them to travel anywhere in the city. The buses run every five minutes, so students can get anywhere they need to go quickly and easily.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The companies offering work visas depend on the country and industry you're targeting. Teaching, healthcare, and finance often have employers open to sponsorship. In some countries, the government maintains a list of companies that regularly sponsor visas. It might feel overwhelming to navigate this, but narrowing it down by region and industry could help. This varies a lot based on your field of study and location. For example, in teaching, roles like software developer or data analyst are in demand, with salaries often reflecting the skill gap. In other fields, you might see entry-level roles that focus on building experience before scaling up in pay.
