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.

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.

A way to get Masters certificate, nothing else.
Tips: 1. There's a cultural shift but it depends on the student. A student moved to a different country, so they should be accepting of the cultural shift and have a broader mindset. 2. I got the scholarship from Uni, but apparently everybody does. 3. With the University I am not so much satisfied but yes a way to get Masters in education. For the course, not so much from this University but if you learn it yourself and improve your skills, you can do wonders. The country is good as of now, a little expensive, and many are struggling with the cost of living, but still have a pleasant lifestyle.
Likes (Indian Food): Leicester has some great Indian food restaurants and the prices are fine compared to the UK. You have lots of different cuisines to eat too. But groceries aren't that expensive compared to outside food and other countries so, as a student, it's recommended to cook most of the time.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty aren't that helpful to the students. They sometimes lack the skills and stumble if asked questions outside of the courses on the same subject matter. They also tend to think in a very narrow perspective about the assignments and are not open to a wider variety of options.
