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.

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.

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.
