A fun, immersive, and intensive experience.

Tips: There are a lot of scholarship opportunities available for students here. I was lucky enough to receive a full scholarship from the university to study here. It was difficult to adapt to the British culture at first, but over time, with the help of friends and peers, it started feeling like a 2nd home! Overall, I am genuinely glad I took the decision to study abroad in this particular university and country.

Likes (Student Life): Student life is fantastic here. The University puts a lot of effort into making each and every student feel comfortable. It organises numerous events like Colour run, graduation ball, Painting, sports activities, Karaoke Thursdays, pool activities, and so much more. My typical day in college looks like - attending classes, roaming around on campus and participating in fun activities during break, having lunch with my friends, attending more classes, and heading to the library in the evening to prepare for assignments/exams.

Dislikes (Internships): There are various internship opportunities available, but they are mostly for Bachelor's students. Finding one for an M.Sc. student can be time-consuming, but it is possible. Nowadays, it is hard to find a job that provides sponsorship. Luckily, one can still work here after graduation with their Postgraduate Work Visa for two years. That gives one time to decide what exactly to do.

Opportunistic, growth, and fun loving with academic focused.

Tips: Students should do their own research because everyone has different preferences. There are scholarships, and there are lots of cultural societies to join that provide opportunities for networking.

Likes (Value for money): Considering the fees for my course I feel it was worth it as you will be getting a degree from one of the top 100 universities in the world and also Russell Group university. Also, the cost of living in Southampton is relatively less than other cities and it has all the required amenities.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): If you have around 3 to 5 years of prior experience, then it's relatively easy to get a job with a Skilled Worker visa. Once you complete 5 years on that, you can get permanent residency. However, I am not planning to settle in the UK and have different priorities.

University of Southampton is a great university with highly qualified faculty.

Tips: The transition was smoother than expected. A suggestion is to try to decide your flatmates before you come here, living with friends will help with homesickness and overall, a better life abroad. There was no scholarship for the ECS Department at the University of Southampton. I did, however, complete two part-time paid technical internships that helped me with my cost of living. The course was decent; I expected a bit more from it, but overall, the facilities provided were very good. And thanks to the less demanding course, I could complete two internships during the second and third semesters. I personally love living and working in the UK.

Likes (Internships): The ECS department at University of Southampton has an active Placement Office and cell that sends out at least two emails per day, often for new roles or jobs. The officer also hosts talks with various companies, such as giants like Apple and Google as well as niche markets such as McLaren and Alpine. There are also some offers from small-scale companies. The University of Southampton Internship Portals has a lot of internship offers. I applied for and completed an internship there, but then I also got another internship from a company that a placement officer sent. For me, internships went great, and I'm not the only one – some of my friends got internships through this portal, too.

Dislikes (Value for money): The course was all theory, and especially for subjects like Web and mobile application development, we expected some hands-on lab sessions in our curriculum, which was unfortunately not possible. The ECS department at University of Southampton does not provide any scholarships, so the fee that I paid which is 28,000 GBP was somewhat on the higher end than what the course offered.

The campus is warm and vibrant and has many on-campus events.

Tips: It's a life-changing experience from my point of view, as you get to meet people from all around the world, and try new things you never dream of doing before. The University of Southampton has more than 200+ different clubs and societies, so there is something for everyone. For business school, you can also get a dean's scholarship of around 8000 pounds if you have 80% in your undergrad.

The placements are very few and it is difficult to land a job.

Tips: The coursework in the B.A.M.S. course at the University of Southampton is going to be technical challenging and aligns with the industry standards. You may expect a lot of statistics and advanced data analysis modules. I had obtained a scholarship of 5 lacs which brought down my fees to 20 lacs. I think that was a good value for money considering the university ranking and the course they offered. There is also an option for doing the dissertation with an industry/company. I think that's an opportunity to build real world analytical and business skills, but you should know that the placements are very few, and you'll have to apply for all the jobs yourself. Go through the tedious application process in the UK. The placements are very few, and it seems that the only way to land a job is to have 2-3 years of solid work experience in a similar domain.

Likes (Public transportation): Southampton has the best bus service in the UK. Contrary to other places, Southampton only has one bus provider, so it is easy to get around. The bus provider runs all the routes, and one bus pass allows for unlimited travel. If you rent a place, you can find something near the Highfield campus that is within walking distance of the university.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): My chances are high for obtaining a permanent settlement in the next four years, as I have obtained a skilled worker visa. Work-life balance, quality of life, workplace quality, and pay are the major motivating factors for permanent immigration to the UK. However, students generally find it difficult to land a job, mainly because of a lack of work experience and understanding of the job market and domains. Speak with at least 2-3 alumni who passed the course and obtained a job/sponsorship.
