The university is good but can do better in terms of administration and student services.

Tips: I was quite confused at the start but the student body is helpful and so are the professors. The university can do better in terms of administration and student services, but other than that, Manchester is a nice and liveable city. Winters are brutal, and things shut down early in the evening. The maximum you can work is 20 hours, so be very careful to maintain that.

Maintain your work life balance.

Tips: Studying here has increased my exposure and growth, and Manchester is a very multicultural place, so you'll meet people from all around the world. The classes are intense, but you can adjust the schedule accordingly. My program is more research-oriented than I had imagined. People are friendly but reserved.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Securing a job is increasingly challenging, but I've observed individuals finding employment after months or even years of searching. Ensure your permit is valid and allows you to stay in the country post-graduation.

The programs are based on industry relevance and require analytical thinking.

Tips: The programs are based on industry relevance and require analytical thinking. You will need to be more active in class if you want your education to be meaningful here, as there is a no-nonsense approach to academics. Be prepared for the competition after university, as placements are active around that time. Make sure your portfolio helps you stand out.

Good university where different culture meets.

Tips: The University of Manchester is a good place to experience different cultures because students from different cultures and countries come there. Some scholarships have to be applied for 7 months before the university starts, and the university has professors from different countries and experiences. There are career guidance and CV preparation guides available at the University. However, the UK job market is tough for international students, so finding an internship or job takes many applications and rejections. Unfortunately, there are no internships available for Master's students.

Likes (Indian Food): There are plenty of restaurants for every taste, including Indian, Chinese, Italian and Middle Eastern cuisine, as well as popular fast food joints like Subway, McDonald’s, and Domino’s. However, dining out at these establishments can get expensive, and I personally find it much more cost-effective to cook my meals.

Amazing university in a great city with friendly, welcoming and fun-loving locals.

Tips: The hardest part at the beginning was food. I did not know how to cook many things, but I adapted. Most people I know from India chose to live in catered halls to avoid this problem, and some knew how to cook. Living and taking care of yourself also comes as a cultural shock, you need to do your own cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, etc. Have an open mind, and you'll be fine. There are lots of part-time jobs available, but you have to put in the effort to look for those. Most jobs hire on a casual basis, which means they are flexible, and you can assign shifts based on your studies. The university also has many part-time roles available. Most pay is minimum wage on an hourly basis. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences.

Dislikes (Internships): Securing an internship comes more down to personal skills rather than what university you attend. Most big companies use a holistic assessment approach to select candidates. It is important to be focused from the very start, join societies, and get some part-time work. This will surely help. The university has a brilliant careers service which you can use.
