Strong faculty, academically inclined, but poor career support.
Tips: Manchester + Uom genuinely changed me. I'd lived abroad in Sweden before, so moving countries wasn't new, but Manchester hits different. Manchester feels different, cloudy, social, and full of character. Living here has made me more patient and open-minded just by living in such a diverse place. It is also super safe compared to India, and that safety unlocks a new kind of confidence; you start feeling like the world is your playground. I become more independent, more secure in my own style, and more me. Day-to-day is very "Oxford Road main arc" where life circles lectures, library, coffee runs, and constantly running into people because the whole stretch is basically student central. When I am not in lectures, I am mostly hiking around speak district, people watching around NQ, or on my way to inhale food on Curry Mile. And the rain is super annoying at first, but as you go through the seasons, you go from gloomy to romanticising the rain, where later on you huddle up and imagine yourself as an indie movie character. Academically, the University of Manchester is strong. For data Science, a lot of teaching staff are from other departments, so they are genuinely experts in their fields. All the professors are warm and welcoming in general. I would suggest the university for students who want to pursue further studies. A lot of students secured partial and full ride schlorhsip, especially within the school of engineering and AMBS. Overall, being in university is strong academically, but there is not much support career wise 70% of the class always move back home, and the rest struggle due to international passports and strict government regulations. Even though I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here, I think it is a better option to apply in the EU or Australia.
Dislikes (Internships): The University of Manchester has a dedicated careers centre but the support feels more like it only exists in theory. The practical support available for postgrad students seeking internships is limited in effectiveness. The opportunities are mostly available to students who already carry relevant work experience (2+ years) in their home country or are British passport holders. Many capable fresh college graduates struggle to secure a job despite making active efforts. There are no readily available internships; the university does have some programs in different schools, such as engineering or medicine but again these resources are mostly centred around undergrad students.

The city is well connected.
Tips: The culture is a bit different but one can easily adapt to it. I did not avail any scholarship for this course. It's a self learning course, the professors help with the work but the majority of the work is expected to be done by the student. This is a bit different from the learning structure in India.
Likes (Public transportation): The city is well connected. Bus is the cheapest mode of transportation 5-6 for an entire day. There are many reliable alternatives as well, in case of schedule changes due to weather, strike, etc. The transport system is very efficient for students.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Current changes in government might influence the route to ILR. Once someone lands a sponsorship, the route to ILR is quite straightforward. Would recommend students to have a look at the roles that are currently in demand before picking their course/specialisation.

MBA - Batch of 2025

Great experiences, vibrant city and a good student culture.
Tips: For my particular course which was the MBA, it is vital to have solid work experience. This is important for doing well in the course and for getting a job later. -There are many cultural differences as compared to India, but a student will experience them only when they arrive here. You need to be more outgoing as compared to India, be able to hold conversations with a barista of a coffee shop as well as a director in a company. Manchester is very diverse and is a wonderful city for students, very vibrant, very happening and not as expensive. I was awarded a scholarship of 7000 GBP based on my work experience and GMAT score. I was awarded this by the university and did not apply for it separately. Very satisfied with everything, I believe this is the best value for money MBA among the top business schools in the UK.
Likes (Safety): Manchester is a safe town, in general UK is quite safe. I have been around the city at 3 AM too and never felt unsafe. There are probably one or two streets where I would not venture out alone at night but for the most part it is safe. I have never had any bad incidents. The most popular crime that takes place is phone snatching, but there is a very easy solution to this, which is not to use your phones while walking on the street.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Various global cuisines are available in Manchester which is the most vibrant city in the UK outside of London. Indian food options are quite limited/average compared to other UK cities. I usually prefer cooking myself but occasionally eat out too.

Excellent and friendly university.
Tips: The University of Manchester is excellent. It is filled with people who are there to help you, and you have the freedom to explore your hobbies. I adjusted quite well with everyone and did not experience much cultural shift. I received an academic scholarship worth 7,000. If you are eligible, the university takes you into consideration without having to apply. I am quite satisfied with the university and the country. However, I would have liked it if the course had been paced more effectively and we had been taught more relevant material.
Likes (Indian Food): It is a cultural hub and you can find any cuisine quite easily. Especially in Manchester there is a street called Curry Mile which has shops from India, Pakistan and even Middle Eastern countries. The pricing varies from shop to shop. I prefer cooking my food because it allows me to put as much spice in the food as I want.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I'm not sure how many companies offer sponsored visas, but there are quite a few. Sponsorship is not based on the role; however, roles in AI and data Science see more sponsorship. For a sponsored role, your salary should be above 32,000 GBP while junior roles tend to start from 24,000-26,000 GBP.

Good courses and high competition.
Tips: The business and STEM courses are among the most popular programs here so the quality of education is high and so is demand hence, course registration can and will get intense. The city is very vibrant and cheaper to live as compared to cities like London. Very global campus and professors are very good at what they do. Part time work is limited so you'll have to keep trying for one that fits your schedule.
