UoM Experience after a Master's degree
Tips: Students should inquire about the modules and other facilities provided by the university. Alongside this, the safety of the city is also something important to look into. Also check if the university is city-based or campus-based, depending on the kind of lifestyle one wants to have. Campus-based universities are situated in the countryside and can feel a little remote. Studying in a city-based university means everything is nearby, and you don't have to spend hours on public transport to go out for a social outing.
Likes (Public transportation): Getting around Manchester as a student is ridiculously easy and cheap, which is why I gave public transport a top rating. For starters, the 147 bus runs straight down Oxford Road through the main university campus and is totally free if you show your student ID. Plus, the Free Bus routes 1 and 2 make getting around the city centre and going between Piccadilly and Victoria stations completely free for everyone. For everything else, Andy Burnham’s Bee Network has made bus travel super affordable. Single fares are capped at £2, and no matter how many buses you hop on in a single day, you'll never pay more than £5 total. Between the constant buses running up and down Oxford Road and the Metrolink trams connecting you to places like Salford Quays or Didsbury, you honestly don't need a car at all.
Dislikes (Internships): I gave internships a low rating because my specific modules didn't offer any built-in placement options or course-integrated internships. You are pretty much expected to hunt for opportunities on your own through external job boards or the university’s Handshake portal. While the University of Manchester Careers Service is useful for fixing up your CV or running mock interviews, they don't hand out placements or match you directly with employers. The UK internship market around Greater Manchester—and across the UK in general—is brutally competitive right now. Unless your degree has a built-in placement year, you have to do all the legwork yourself. Finding time to apply to dozens of places while handling a full course load at Manchester gets overwhelming fast.

If you are able to utilise your time and opportunities well, It is an ideal option for early ROI.
Tips: The university is heavily academic. Come ready, for you have to read a lot of papers and write research papers. Choose your course wisely, as courses sound similar, but course structure can be different. Apply for scholarships early, as the spots tend to fill quickly. Try to live in student accommodation (either from the university or private), as it significantly reduces your stress. These accommodations organize events that allow you to network with students outside of your cohort.
Likes (Public transportation): I gave it a 5 because getting around Manchester is just incredibly cheap and easy. They use the yellow Bee Network buses and Metrolink trams here, and everything has a daily spending cap. You basically won’t cross five quid a day for bus fares, no matter how much you're hopping on and off. The city center and the main campus along Oxford Road are also completely walkable, so if you land a student house nearby in a spot like Fallowfield, you can honestly save a massive chunk of money just by walking to your lectures. Plus, having Manchester Airport sitting right on the direct train line within the city limits makes traveling back home or catching international flights entirely stress-free.
Dislikes (Internships): The university provides career workshops and guidance, but they don't have any dedicated placement cell for internships. They give sessions for CV review, interview preps, etc., but no specific companies come for special drives. You need to make your own connections, ask for opportunities, and network to get those positions.

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.

Great research opportunities and a student-supportive experience
Tips: Before you sign up, you need to know that while the University of Manchester gives you insane academic and research opportunities, they fully expect you to handle independent learning without any hand-holding. If you can’t manage your own time, you will drown. Moving over here from India was a massive shock to the system at first—especially trying to get used to the miserable gray weather and a completely different lifestyle—but I managed to find my feet pretty quickly. Honestly, since I’m on a fully funded program, I’m incredibly happy with Manchester, my course, and life in the UK overall. It’s given me a massive launchpad to grow both personally and professionally, making the entire crazy transition completely worth it.
Likes (Public transportation): I rated it 5 because Manchester has excellent public transport and the university is very well connected to the rest of the city. Buses, trams, and trains are easily available, and I have never felt the need for a car. It's affordable and reliable and makes computing on campus and to other places convenient.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I gave it a 3 because there are good job opportunities, but finding a role with visa sponsorship can be difficult for international students. Some companies sponsor visas, especially in engineering, research, and pharmacy, but the competition is quite high.

4.0
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.
