MSc in Management (International Business) - Batch of 2023

4.3

You will be a different person after you graduate if you plan your goals ahead.

Tips: You will definitely get cultural socks. It's nothing you can't handle. I unfortunately didn't apply for scholarships. My course academically was very generic, but I gained other social skills. If applying for the University of Reading, I would recommend a bachelor's or master's in finance, as Reading is known for its course in finance.

Likes (Quality of faculty): All professors are very friendly; they guide you if you are stuck. Teaching is very professional at the same time very casual; everyone is approachable. Faculty can be diverse, depending on the modules. All the abovementioned will only work if you are interactive and you are willing to speak up. No faculty will come to you and ask unless you approach.

Dislikes (Internships): A lot of guidance is available, and job/internship failures are conducted every now and then. You need to be very patient and need to put in a lot of effort to show uniqueness while applying for a job or internship. Yes, available internships were relevant to my study, as my course can include different industries.

A Welcoming University with Strong Academics and Global Exposure

Tips: Before coming to Reading, you should definitely be ready for how much independent study there is. Nobody’s going to hold your hand, so you really have to stay on top of your own time, especially when it comes to the research stuff and assignments. My transition was not too bad overall but the culture shock at the start was real. The classes here are way more focused on critical thinking than what I was used to back home. Socially, it took me a minute to find my feet, but getting involved in a few uni clubs made a massive difference for making friends. I did look into their scholarships during the application process—they’re mostly based on your grades, and if you get one, it usually just knocks a bit off your tuition, which definitely helps. Honestly, I’m really glad I came. The campus has a great vibe, the tutors are actually supportive, and just living in the UK gives you a ton of perspective. Keeping up with expenses is definitely a struggle, but the whole experience has been 100% worth it.

Masters in Entrepreneurship (Financing) - Batch of 2026

Pretty campus and good lessons.

Tips: The campus is extremely vibrant and has some really scenic spots and lakes with a lot of greenery as well. In terms of academics, you will be expected to have an independent approach and a lot of things are assumed to be understood especially certain concepts and fundamentals so remember to be prepared before classes. Critical writing took me a while to grow comfortable with. Good for students.

A life changing decision

Tips: Honestly, the whole experience just shifted my entire outlook. It changed how I look at different industries, sure, but it also made me way more level-headed in how I handle things now. I feel like a completely different person than when I started, and I’m actually really proud of that growth. If you get the chance to do this, you should 100% go for it. xox

Likes (Safety): You’ve got CCTV pretty much all over campus, so walking around never really feels sketchy. Even the area just outside is monitored, which definitely helps you feel more at ease. Honestly, the city as a whole is just incredibly safe and even if you're heading home late at night, you never really get that feeling like you need to keep looking over your shoulder.

Dislikes (Internships): The placement cell helps their best to get internship bit for masters sometimes it gets difficult as you get very less time to apply, But for bachelor’s the support is satisfactory and I have seen majorly everyone getting internship during their bachelorette

MSc Management - Batch of 2026

4.7

Peaceful, exciting yet academically rigorous.

Tips: The major cultural shock was the cold; eventually, people will get used to it. If you have zero skills in cooking my advice is to learn cooking, as ordering online or eating out makes a hole in your wallet. I received a scholarship of 10,000 pounds however there are multiple fully funded scholarships available and I would definitely recommend going through them like Felix Scholarship, Chevning Scholarship, etc. I am 100 percent satisfied with the university however it is 20 minutes from London so if someone really wants to live in the hustle and fast pace environment, I would not recommend this university.

Likes (Public transportation): For our university there is a dedicated bus service which operates 24hours, not only this, but the bus service also has a dedicated bus stop inside the university for easy commute. Affordability is amazing as the university is planning to become net carbon zero so they promote bus services for students and provide bus tickets at a lower price for university students.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): If you look at the chances to settle in the country there are many ways to do so like finding a sponsor, Innovative founder visa for new startups which can contribute to the ecosystem, self sponsorship for someone who wants to set up a business there are multiple routes through which one can find permanent settlement however all these routes are extremely competitive and only the best out of rest can make a good use of it. Looking at it through a political lens tells a very different story, as the new amendments to immigration rules and regulations are still under discussion, and obtaining ILR remains a challenge. There is still an ambiguity whether these will remain the same or it will become impossible for immigrants to settle in the UK. Given a chance to permanently settle in would rather say yes.
