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 thr...

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 ...

Tips: Student should be clear about the course modules of their chosen programme.

Tips: Do not get too caught up in doing part-time jobs and pushing education as a second priority. It is best to do some saving before moving to the UK as, although Manchester is a relatively cheaper city, you will end up spending a lot more than expected. The university also expects students to do a lot of self-study both pre and post lectures. Ask questions to the lecturers as they are often very willing to solve your queries. And always remember that you belong.

Likes (Student Life): Manchester is a vibrant city and extr...

Tips: Don't expect the faculty to start everything from the grassroots level so if you are taking admission for a new course please become habituated with the basics. At least self-study is really crucial here but I can assure you that you will learn a lot and it will be exciting. Utilize all the opportunities you get to learn more and network

Tips: The syllabus is quite manageable, however the exams are really very difficult and can really test your perseverance. The written exams cannot be passed just by rote learning or by studying at the last moment. Even the course works require a lot of brainstorming.

Likes (Public transportation): The university is situated on Oxford Street in Manchester which has the busiest bus route in the UK. It is also a very walkable city and you probably won't have to use transportation at all. I didn't have to spend anything to travel to un...

Tips: I come from India, which is why moving to the UK was a huge change. I have been to the UK several times in the past but living here is a completely different ball game. I went from really going to eat out at 1 am sometimes to having to cook my own meals 3 times a day. The food is different, the people are different, the weather is different but what remains the same is the feeling of being at home because 1.5 years into my course, Manches does indeed feel like home. Anyway, so I got a global fut...

Tips: 1. I did not experience a massive culture shift. The people in Manchester are warm and friendly. However, the weather is often not very good as it rains quite a lot and remains gloomy. 2. I did get the Global Future Scholarship from the University of Manchester. I would advice students to apply as soon as they receive the invitation to apply for the scholarship post their receipt of the offer letter from the University. 3. I am extremely satisfied with my course LL.M. Intellectual Property at ...

Tips: Research the modules well. MIM as a course has few opportunities in UK. Do a specialized Master. MIM more suitable for people willing to get into technology roles. MIM at AMBS is a waste. Please don't do it. Far better options are available. Do a specialized Master.

Likes (Part time work): Good amount of part time options available. Flexible shift options. Easy to manage part-time with academics. It pays minimum wage so easy to manage expenses since the city isn't that expensive. Walk-in interviews are available in plen...

Tips: Moving to university from a small town to a big city was not okay at first but I quickly adjusted to the city lifestyle and now I don't think I can go back! The university has a solid infrastructure for helping students with tutors/lecturers more than happy to respond to emails. There are support systems for students to help with non-academic problems which I feel makes it easier for students to settle in. Overall, I wouldn't pick any other university to go to due to the unforgettable experience...

Tips: I am very satisfied with my university, it is easy to adapt since Manchester is a multi-cultural city. I have never faced any discrimination. There are abundant work opportunities available, and the people are friendly. It is more about getting outside your comfort zone and interacting with people from different backgrounds.

Likes (Part time work): Abundant opportunities are available for part-time work. There are plenty within the university as well as outside. Most places that offer full-time roles also offer part-ti...

Tips: After coming to the UK, you will definitely see many changes be it people, culture, climate or language everything is different than what you have experienced in India so yes it will be a major change. I didn't get any scholarship. I have tried, but no such luck. Overall, my experience with the university, course and country was good. I learned a lot and experienced a lot of new things so in total my experience was quite good.

Tips: Students should take time and explore the nearby hotspots and transportation options for convenience. You will find a large number of fellow Indians so you shouldn't be feeling too homesick and there are plenty of food options as well. Prepare for unpredictable rains.

Tips: Firstly, I would like to tell is there is a new life waiting for you which means : 1. You have to do all things by yourself. As compared to Indian colleges/universities, we prepare our food i.e. breakfast, lunch and dinner and we buy our food, we manage every small chore by ourselves. This is looking more challenging but it teaches independence and it's a must. 2. Don't expect teachers to spoon-feed you, teachers clarify concepts but for small intricacies for small doubts, they do so only when...
