MSc in Data Science and Advanced Computing - Batch of 2023
4.1
Friendly and engaging university.
Tips: Mainly, if you follow the process and instructions, everything will be fine, and self-analysis and approach are important in learning new cultures, and the approach towards study is important. Networking plays an important role abroad; you need to make friends, meet new people and interact with them in terms of any help or opportunities. There is a help desk and friendly staff are there to guide you if you have any queries.
Likes (Student Life): College life was much more engaging and interactive; you get enough time to submit your projects and engage in other cultural activities or clubs and other events but securing a job is tough; it entirely depends on your hard work and self-study and personal projects. There is inclusion and it's a big campus and you can able to access the student library and all software mostly for free and you find all types of food and people from different races as well and friendly too.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Move to the UK if you have enough experience in your current field, maybe around 5 years, if you are planning to study for a master's or want to get PR in the UK. Be skilful and be open-minded to learn new things and networking plays an important role in reaching out to companies' people as much as you can to get a sponsorship role. As there are new laws coming up in 2026 so be prepared to approach it strategically.

A university that gives you education, lovely environment and part time work options as well.
Tips: First, understand what you are going to study, so please look for all the modules in the course. Look for scholarships; there are plenty that you can avail yourself of based on qualifications. I am very satisfied. My faculty is very nice with proper understanding and lab practices.
Likes (Safety): Health and safety are top priorities in the UK, so everywhere, whether it's your class, accommodation or your workplace, they always take care of health and safety as a top priority. Even though it's safe to roam around at any time, there is a club on campus, so it is not required to go out to have fun.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Do not depend on the college. They will not help you with jobs. You need to work hard and find jobs in the current market. It's hard to find a job in your post-study work visa programme, which brings a challenge for individuals, as you need to get a job with a visa as well.

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.

Course modules are good for this course
Tips: Make sure to have knowledge of modules before joining. Professors only read the ppts they have made, we have to apply those practically to understand. Exam patterns/assignments are different than what we have in our country. So you have to make extra efforts to excel in the course modules.

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.
