A smooth transition to a global learning experience
Tips: If you're heading to the University of Manchester, you're going to have a great time, but you seriously need to brace yourself for how independent everything is—both in the classroom and in daily life. Do yourself a favor and skim through your lecture notes before class every single day. Even just a quick look gives you enough context to actually open your mouth during class discussions, which is the easiest way to get noticed by your professors. You have to be proactive here; nobody is going to hand you anything. You’re expected to take the initiative, drive your own job applications, network like crazy, and hunt down opportunities yourself.
Moving here was honestly a pretty smooth transition for me. The only real hurdle at first was just getting used to all the different accents, but you adapt to that pretty quickly. People in the UK are generally super polite, helpful, and respectful, which makes settling in a lot easier. I didn't get a scholarship myself, but I knew a few people who managed to land one or two. My biggest tip is to jump onto the official Manchester website early and filter your search specifically by your course, nationality, and department. The criteria change constantly, so you want to check early and get your application in before the deadline closes. Overall, I’m really happy with my choice. Manchester has a massive international student crowd, and since there are so many Indian students around, you never feel completely isolated or out of place.
Likes (Indian Food): One of the best things about living in Manchester is that you are completely spoiled for choice when it comes to Indian food. Honestly, finding familiar groceries, snacks, vegetables, and household stuff is incredibly easy here, which makes settling into life abroad so much smoother for Indian students. The city—and honestly the whole UK—is packed with Indian restaurants and outlets. If you are craving proper Indian street food, Chit 'n' Chaat is a fantastic spot to grab things like dahi papdi chaat or samosa chaat. When you want a proper sit-down North Indian meal with great vibes and amazing taste, places like Bardez and Dishoom are definitely the go-to options.
For your daily cooking you can easily hunt down staples like Maggi, Kurkure, Haldiram snacks, proper spices and even veggies like brinjal and bottle gourd at local convenience stores like Worldwide or Asian Superstore. The only real catch is that eating out or ordering takeaway all the time will absolutely destroy your budget. From my experience, a single restaurant meal can easily run you around £25 per person. Because of that, I heavily prefer cooking my own food at home—it’s just way more affordable at the end of the day.
Dislikes (Value for money): Studying at the University of Manchester definitely gave me that international exposure I was looking for, but if I’m being completely honest, the massive price tag didn’t match what we actually got. My Master’s fees alone were £28,000—which works out to well over 33 lakhs in INR once you convert it. That is a massive chunk of money to drop on a degree. While the modules and subjects were definitely useful, it was pretty frustrating to realize that a huge portion of the material is stuff you can literally watch for free on open-source platforms like YouTube or NPTEL. Even the case studies and textbooks they used felt exactly like the ones my friends were studying back home at the IITs and IIMs. Looking at it strictly from a classroom perspective, the academic value just didn’t justify that crazy high tuition fee.
For me, the real saving grace of the program was just the experience of being abroad. Getting to learn from international professors, collaborating with classmates from all over the world, and navigating a completely new culture was definitely life-changing. But when it came to landing a job, the career support was a massive reality shock. Coming from India, you expect a proper placement cell where companies actually come to campus, host rounds, and hand out job offers. Manchester doesn't work like that at all. Their career hub basically just tells you to go out there, network, and hunt down opportunities entirely on your own.

Calm through the chaos- Navigating university life strategically.
Tips: Look, here’s the real deal. First off, get ready for an insane amount of self-study. Nobody is going to force you to go to class, and the independent reading is heavy. Also, force yourself to talk to people. Classes are scattered all over different buildings, meaning you see new faces constantly—don't freeze up, just use it to network.
As for societies? Don't just blindly join a million things. Be smart about what actually aligns with your goals. You're definitely going to hit some serious culture shock too, but don't lose who you are just trying to fit in. Adapt, sure, but keep your core intact.
Likes (Public transportation): Since Manchester has 3 big universities and a huge student population, the public transportation system is quite smooth running. In fact, most locals/non-students also use the bus and tram as their primary mode of travel. Apart from the once-in-a-while tram strike, you can get to universities and other parts of the city quite easily, and it is not as expensive—less than 2 pounds for a one-way bus ride and even less for the tram. I would recommend getting a student pass, as it makes things even more cost-effective.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent settlement post-education as an international student means you need a sponsored job. At the moment finding a job that has visa sponsorship is an issue, but luckily there is the 2-year paid post-study work visa that you can take to try and get employment. It is, however, quite a task to apply for hundreds of jobs and can take a toll on mental health, but that is up to the individual student if it is worth the struggle. In my case I didn't want to stay there long-term, so I found other ways to progress my career outside the UK

Studying abroad- University of Manchester journey.
Tips: Look, moving from India to Manchester was honestly just a massive jump—it was exciting, sure, but also way more overwhelming at first than I'd planned for. Between trying to survive the freezing weather and just figuring out a totally different uni system, those first few weeks were honestly just a bit of a blur. You really have to be ready to put yourself out there and just start looking for any volunteering or part-time gigs you can find to get some experience. Since I didn’t have any scholarships or anything like that to fall back on, I basically had to be proactive from day one. It’s a lot to take in, especially with the food and the social side of things being so different, but you just have to dive in and figure it out as you go. It’s just a lot.
Likes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking myself. I got all the ingredients options near by the University campus. It is very accessible and easy to shop for Indian groceries. There are many south Asian cafes, restaurants and shops in the campus near Curry mile Road. The pricing is okay.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Look, with the way the rules for staying here just keep on changing all the time lately, you really have to stop and think about what you actually want before you even look at the long haul. Honestly, I’m not really leaning toward the UK for PR or anything anyway. Given my background and everything, I’m pretty sure I’d have a decent chance at getting it if I actually wanted to—it’s just not where my head is at right now. I guess you just have to figure out what really matters to you before jumping into any massive life decisions like that. It’s just a lot to weigh up.

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.
