Best experience and academically enriching journey at the University of Manchester.
Tips: I really enjoyed my time here at UoM. The faculty and administration are very supportive and approachable and always willing to help the students in need. Be prepared to adapt and make friends as it can be difficult initially to get used to the culture.

MSc in Business Analytics: Operational Research and Risk Analysis - Batch of 2024
3.9
A break from the corporate world with preparation for the real world.
Tips: There definitely is a cultural shift here that we face, and it is much better than home so it won't be an issue settling down. We should be prepared for the hard work. The university rankings matter but not a lot, so you are mostly on your own. There is no placement department or anything like that, so we are ourselves responsible for job hunting and everything, and as in every other country, it's not that easy to get a job. 
Likes (Student Life): The college community/student union has a lot of activities planned throughout the year, which really helps us lay off some streams from all the studies. Festivals, especially big ones like Diwali/Holi, are a lot of fun as all students get together and have fun. Student clubs are fun, but I wasn't able to participate a lot given the course structure and assignments. 
Dislikes (Part time work): There are part-time options available, but the course is a little tiring, which leaves very few windows for working. Having said that, there is a lot of competition given the number of students and dependents, so it is also hard to get a part-time job. Also, because of this competition, employers, specifically restaurants, exploit the students by paying them cash in hand, which is much lower than the minimum wage. But yes, I have a few friends who got a good part-time job, but such examples are pretty low.

MSc Marketing - Batch of 2023

Think before you go, connect with people and get to hear the real journey
Tips: For my degree, I felt like it was an extension of my bachelor’s nothing new that I could learn massively to improve my skill set provided the money I had spent. I don’t think I was satisfied at all because the struggle throughout was really very difficult to cope with.
Likes (Public transportation): It’s well connected with cabs, trams and buses all across. There wasn’t any issue with commuting at all. It’s just very expensive to travel but as a student, you get discounts on travelling too so not a major reason. Rest assured you wouldn’t face an issue with this.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are very less jobs available who sponsor you and more than that you need exceptional skills to actually get a job. Even if you have PSW you need to be on top of your application game. So don’t just come directly after your bachelor’s take some experience and then come if you have long-term goals of settling.

Lots of opportunities available for career growth and development.
Tips: Student should be clear about the course modules of their chosen programme. They should book the accommodation well in advance before coming to the city to avoid any last minutes inconveniences. They should check for various scholarships and apply on priority basis. They should be in touch with Indian Society of Manchester which organises social meetings for upcoming students.
Likes (Indian Food): Manchester offers a wide variety of cuisines, particularly South Asian cuisines. Its super convenient with regards to food as the city offer cuisines, snacks and local food items for their daily life style. Manchester has so many interesting cafes to visit which adds so much value to your student life experience.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): In the UK permanent immigration and settlement options are quite difficult due to government policies. The company hiring you as an employee needs to sponsor your visa which is an expensive and lengthy process for the company. However, if a student manages to get a job in the UK it is considered a better option as the lifestyle, career growth and future opportunities there are better than India.
