Empowering excellence: A world-class education.
Tips: Before joining the University of Leicester, students should research the course curriculum and faculty expertise, check scholarship opportunities and eligibility criteria, familiarize themselves with UK culture and living costs, and prepare for independent learning and self-motivation. After joining, I experienced a smooth transition, thanks to the university's welcoming atmosphere. Coming from a diverse cultural background, I appreciated Leicester's inclusive environment. The international student community helped me connect with like-minded individuals. Adapting to UK culture was relatively easy, with some notable differences: independent learning style, direct communication, and multicultural interactions. I availed the University of Leicester's International Scholarship 32,500/year. To apply students should: 1. Meet academic requirements 2. Submit a strong personal statement 3. Demonstrate English proficiency IELTS/TOEFL). Overall, I am quite satisfied with the course, country and university.

The quality of education provided is very good.
Tips: The University of Leicester is one of the top 30 universities in the UK. It is located in Leicester, England, which is about 100 miles from London. The campus is very large, and students come from all over the world. The university offers a two-year industry course, and it also offers scholarships.
Likes (Internships): After working in a corporate job for two years, I'm back in school. I'm really enjoying being a student again. I love going to university every day and socializing with people from all over the world. I'm really enjoying the different vibe of being in the UK.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty at Leicester University are very good at responding to student queries. They are accessible and approachable, and they respond to every email. The diversity of teaching is very good, and they are very advanced in all technology. They not only teach theory, but they also help us practice in the labs.

Exciting, prosperous and interesting.
Tips: I think students should accept the change in order to survive alone, far from home and with expenses all the positives leaving the negatives behind. There is not much cultural change as Leicester is a smaller India all people here are mostly Punjabis and Gujaratis. So, it's quite easy for you if you are Indian. I have availed myself of a 5000 scholarship that I got from the University of Leicester based on my Bachelor's degree. I think I'm 70% satisfied with everything the university, city and country have provided, the rest 30% is for jobs and countries economy.
Likes (Safety): I think Leicester is one of the safest cities in the United Kingdom because there are always people around. There are few quiet places because many Indians live in Leicester. During Indian festivals, there are exciting and authentic celebrations that everyone can take part in.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are definitely jobs out there, but many of the good ones need Security clearance (SC), which you can only get after living for 5 years in the UK. On the bright side, UK still has a lot of opportunities compared to other countries. There's the typical path for fresh graduates. You can apply for a graduate visa, and then apply for graduate roles twice or thrice during this period. If you do well in companies they might sponsor you for 3 more years. So it might take 5 years for all this, wherein you can better jobs after this as well. It's tougher for people with work experience since the local government is pushing the talents that are available locally inside the country first and the UK market is down economically which makes it competitive to find jobs.

Being independent is important to survive.
Tips: 1. Learn to be independent and start taking care of ourselves as there won't be our parents to be there for each and every small thing. Life will play with you as much as it can. But we will learn from it and become strong and independent. Moving away from your parents and needing to take care of each and everything and none of the people care about you. Friends will become your family.
2. It depends on IELTS cut off , I got 6.5 overall and they have given me a 3000 pounds scholarship and reduced my overall fee.
3. It was a good experience on a count of 10 my rating would be 7.5
Likes (Permanent Immigration): It all depends on how you get a job after your studies and how seriously you apply for the jobs, To my knowledge all my friends have secured a job with a good package and are being sponsored. Once you get a sponsored job within 5 years you will be given indefinite leave to remain. All I can tell students is to work hard for one or two years and secure a job.
I would love to stay here as the pay is good but the expenses all will be equal to the amount that we earn. But for people who miss family is a bit difficult to survive but for people who like travelling or looking forward to settling is a good option as we get to know the purpose of life and can learn how to work and be independent as an individual.
Dislikes (Public transportation): As I have stayed in private accommodation which is 20 min walk from the university, public transportation is not a big concern for me as I used to walk and go to the university. But when we want to get groceries or anything from the city centre, it's a big deal as we need to walk and go with all the weight that needs to be carried all the way. We have public transport in Leicester but there are many company buses which need to be changed and charge more for each and every bus we board and overall day rate used be around 6-7 pounds which is way too much for the students to spend every day around 7 pounds as we only work 20 hours a day and our hour pay is 10 pounds an hour which makes us difficult to spend more on the public transport.

University of Leicester provides great curriculum that it relevant to the industry.
Tips: The campus is located in a vibrant city known for its rich history and cultural diversity. Prospective students should also know that the university places a strong emphasis on research and offers numerous opportunities for student involvement in various projects and societies. Transitioning to the University of Leicester can be both exciting and challenging. The cultural shift can be significant, especially for international students, who might experience differences in social norms, language, and daily routine. The university offers support services, including orientation programs and student support centres, to help ease this transition. The University of Leicester offers various scholarships and financial aid options for both domestic and international students. Scholarships are typically awarded based on academic merit, financial need, or specific criteria related to the student's course of study. Students can apply for scholarships through the university's official website or financial aid office.
Likes (Indian Food): I live in Leicester, where half the population is Indian, and there are many Indian restaurants in the area. This makes it easy to eat the food of my home country while living abroad. However, as a student, I usually prefer to cook for myself to save money.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There aren't many jobs available for international students, even though there are a lot of vacancies in the tech roles. The reason is that it costs the company a bit more to hire an international student, and the companies' first priority is to hire British citizens. The government puts pressure on companies to hire British citizens first, so it's hard for international students to get hired.
