MSc Advanced Computer Science - Batch of 2025

2.1

Dont judge by its ranking

Tips: In regard to the industrial year, job opportunities, module choice, accommodation, transport, part-time jobs, and social activities and job fairs, facilities and connections with local community groups and social activities.

Likes (Quality of faculty): They just say you the basics in modules and assignments are hard but can do but they don't say how the assignment should do we have to do our own research and make every assignment good and submit on time with no plagiarism we can easily access the faculty.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Cook yourself is the best option there not much Indian origin foods in the campus better cook your comfortable food and bring to the campus or else you can buy a sandwich frozen in the campus with around 5-7u00a3 spending that many pounds are not worth better cook yourself.

Data Analysis for Business Intelligence MSc - Batch of 2025

3.9

One of the best disciplined university.

Tips: They said it's difficult to pass and they'll fail most of the M.Sc. students but it all depends on us. If we attend revision classes and do all assignments on our own, we can easily pass with distinction. But one thing I didn't like was that most of them are Indians. If you're someone who wants to improve communication, this university or this city is not for you.

Likes (Quality of faculty): In my department, my faculty were friendly and were available whenever needed. If we don't understand they'll clearly explain again. We don't have to worry about their nationality, we can easily understand their accent. Also, we get recorded sessions if we don't get them in class, we can access them whenever needed.

Dislikes (Internships): Finding internships in the UK isn't easy but it's not difficult either. Need to learn how to manage tons of assignments, part-time and applications for jobs. Here we get companies coming to the university but it's beneficial only for undergraduates but not post-graduates. It's better to use LinkedIn, Amazon, and Reed apps.

BSc in Psychology - Batch of 2026

3.9

A well balanced university.

Tips: The transition was not too bad. A variety of students also study here from diverse backgrounds. City is pretty affordable as well. Scholarships and bursary options can be available too for students who have had a difficult background.

Likes (Indian Food): Many restaurants are available in the city but I prefer cooking rather than eating out, as it is a great way to save money. Lots of delicious Asian, Chinese and Italian restaurants are available and are budget friendly for students.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The professors are very good and are ready to help with any issues that may arise. People are friendly. Very lively place aswell for students to thrive in and make new friends to help develop socially.

MSc in Advanced Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Management - Batch of 2023

3.2

An academically strict university with low fees and a high ranking.

Tips: No cultural shifts need adjusting, only the weather. I received a scholarship of 5000 pounds. The university was fine, but the infrastructure needs more development, and the country's transportation system could also use some improvement.

Likes (Indian Food): Leicester consists of a larger indian population, so a greater variety of food is available, even tiffin services. There are many restaurants like SKVP and Biryaniwala, which are cheaper compared to other restaurants in the UK. I mostly preferred to cook by myself. Indian students can prefer to go to Falcon Mall. Living with friends makes it easier to prepare food and get ready for university.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Due to strict laws and updates in rules, it is difficult to get sponsored jobs. Experienced workers should take admission to university rather than as a fresher. I got my first job worth 25000, a GPA and a bonus every month. But, you need to go through higher competitions inside the company or to switch jobs as you are a UK experienced professional and get sponsorship. Then, the routes are open for permanent immigration. First, you can get a 3-year visa and then a 5-year Tier 2 visa, so you can apply for ILR.

mem Master of Engineering Management - Batch of 2025

2.9

Free shuttle bus service is available, but the public transport system isn't well-connected.

Tips: Be prepared for general cultural differences such as toilet paper availability and accents. Also be aware that scholarships and allowances are very difficult to obtain requiring significant financial need. Thoroughly research the university before applying. I am satisfied with my experiences. They provided the minimum required.

Likes (Public transportation): Free shuttle bus service is available but the public transport system isn't well connected, and you may have to wait for buses. It's convenient if you plan ahead. The shuttle bus runs every 15 minutes which I liked but the rest of the public transport options were somewhat challenging but manageable.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The options aren't great but I'm willing to try. I need to work hard, keep applying, and test my luck. My chances aren't good, but I'll work to see what works for me. I'd like the opportunity to move here, but not permanently, as I don't really like the idea.
