MSc in Data Science (Business and Management) - Batch of 2025

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.

MSc in Data Science (Social Analytics) - Batch of 2025

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.

4.1

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.

Enriching academic and cultural experience at UoM.

Tips: When you come to the university you can expect a cultural shift and a need to adapt to independent living. Engaging with your fellow students and the university as a whole will help you adjust to academic rigour and cultural diversity. The faculty at this college is highly knowledgeable, supportive and experienced. The professors are approachable and provide prompt email responses. The focus on practical applications is effective and engaging. The faculty comes from diverse backgrounds which brings a global perspective to the classroom. I am highly satisfied with my course, university and the UK's cultural richness.

Dislikes (Indian Food): The Indian food options in Manchester are decent but not always authentic. There are two types of restaurants in the locality budget friendly ones like Bundobust and Chaiwala where a meal costs 7-10 pounds per person and mid-range ones like Dishoom and Mowgli where a meal costs 15-25 pounds per person. I usually cook my own meals.

Diverse and culturally rich university with a lot of internal opportunities.

Tips: The University of Manchester is a diverse and culturally rich university with a lot of internal opportunities. The course content is good and designed for students with at least a year or two of experience in the field of study. The university is recognized globally and has a good reputation. Student diversity is above 90%. Different types of scholarships are available so students can apply for international scholarships.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The quality of teaching and the professors at this university are fabulous. The professors are very experienced in their subject of teaching. They are from different countries and have studied at top-tier universities. They also have ground-level experience in their fields. In addition, the faculty is very helpful and provides support for assignments.

Dislikes (Internships): The university does not provide internships. You have to find one on your own time outside of study hours. Also, it is difficult to manage a part-time job, your classes, assignments, and coursework because the courses are intense and you have classes three to four days a week.

Good college with amazing experience.

Tips: I was awarded a scholarship that provided a tuition discount. I applied for the scholarship online, and the process was straightforward. There were some cultural adjustments, but the large Indian population made the transition easier. I am very satisfied with the University of Manchester, the course I took, and the country itself.

Likes (Public transportation): The city is well connected by bus and trams and has multiple railway stations. Cabs are also easily available. The campus is in the centre of the city, so it is well-connected. It is also a walking distance from the city centre. Public transport is very affordable and they offer passes too.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It all depends on whether you've got a job or not, and whether the company wants to sponsor a visa or not. The chances of permanent settlement are pretty slim as of now given the global scenario and slim job market. But if given a chance, I would like to settle in the UK, barring some cities.
