Welcoming, diverse and a fun student space.

Tips: Transition to UOR was super smooth, though there was a cultural difference for sure but the university hosted a lot of events and get togethers that made the university life sorted and very less hectic.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is very appreciative, approachable and always answers questions and have a willingness to come up with new concepts and content in every other lecture, plus it is quite a diverse faculty as well so you don't feel overwhelmed and left out.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I rated 3 because while the UK has a lot of opportunities, staying back is very skill and course dependent. NHS and other skill shortage courses only gives settlements. In marketing, that is really less. Jobs are still there but very less sponsored jobs.

Due to the recession in the UK, only a few companies are offering sponsorships.

Tips: Students should consider whether they can secure a job after graduation. Knowing a European language is a plus point. Check for the scholarship and find any universities offering it, and also the fees, whether it is the same everywhere. Also, investigate placement assistance and the campus environment.

Likes (Quality of faculty): They are nice and approachable. They make sure to understand us, guiding us in all aspects, and they did a very good job with the practicals. Though the British accent is tough to understand for Indians, they will use the tone, which can be easily understood by everyone.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Due to the recession in the UK, only a few companies are offering sponsorships. Packages are generally around 35,000, which is not enough for sponsorship. Keep this in mind if you plan to settle in the UK, as nationality and visa issues can sometimes be a problem.

University of Reading: Home to new experiences! Become bold and confident.

Tips: Be more open to new environments, cultures, and academic styles. Joining different clubs can make the transition easier. Received a scholarship of £4000 by applying to centenary and subject scholarships through the university website. The structure for the course is good but I wish it included more practical work throughout course.

Likes (Indian Food): Lot of options for Indian food, and Indian grocery stores are also available within a reasonable distance. Many restaurants offer Indian food and are also suitable for vegetarians. I was also lucky enough to be able to do part-time in an Indian restaurant as part of the front office.

Dislikes (Internships): Although the university publishes opportunities that are available for students, they are most often not for master’s students and very less opportunities for overseas students. And as an international student, you will not be able to apply for internships due to work permit restrictions.

Good college and value for money.

Tips: I have become a more responsible person once I reached here. In terms of knowledge, I can say I have gained practical experience in different domains which were new to me. I did get a scholarship of 3000 pounds and that was based on my IELTS score and I can say I am fully satisfied with it.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is quite approachable. They give out their time when the students can actually go out to them and ask queries. Diversity in teaching style and methodology is present as various methods are taught for the same subject and it enhances our knowledge.

Dislikes (Internships): In terms of applying for the internships, the help is given by the university. Also Reading being closer to London gives the opportunity to apply for jobs in a wider range of companies and in various domains. Some internships are indeed present in the field of study.

Hardships of the International students in the UK.

Tips: Coming to the UK at this time of recession and spending so much money on university fees is not so worth it. But if money is not a factor for you to worry about and you want to learn more then UOR is great. If you are lucky you might get a job by trying hard. But then the salaries they offer you might not be enough for your monthly survival or what we at least expect to get after completing a degree and spending tons of money.

Dislikes (Indian Food): It is not so easy to find a suitable job in the UK as a graduate even for an entry-level job they expect you to have experience for 3 years and if you find a job then you will need a sponsorship from this company to stay here which is another big challenge.
