MSc Artificial Intelligence - Batch of 2026
Offered by University of Surrey
4.1
College is good for technical subjects.I don't know about other field.
Tips: Know your faculty. Know your assessment type. Do deep research on your elective subject prior. Do pack food items for at least one month. Pack necessary utensils but not too many. Do not buy a costly laptop, the university has enough resources. Do not believe on YouTube influencer.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food is available but it's costly. Cooking for yourself is cheap. Tesco, Lidl, coop are cheaper for students and the quality is also good. You can get mandatory items for one month for between 10 to 15 GBP. Bring 2 sports shoes, one for regular work and one for part time work.

Welcoming university and friendly people.
Tips: Be prepared for the initial cultural shock; the country and town are very different from India. Living alone in this new place will test you physically, mentally, and emotionally. However, if you stay focused and determined, you'll become a much more confident individual. Plan your finances and schedule your day carefully to complete your degree efficiently. Apply for as many scholarships as possible; they are helpful. I didn't because I lacked knowledge.
Likes (Safety): I have lived for 2 whole years in Guildford. I lived in a house outside the university, so I had no campus security, but it never ever felt unsafe to be anywhere in Guildford at any time of the day or night. Right from the very first day when I carried my suitcases all by myself from the railway station to my house at 1 AM in the night, to my last day in Guildford before I moved to London, I never felt unsafe anywhere in Guildford. I always found helpful people everywhere. Some even offered me a lift from Tesco to my home in their cars.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The university is located in Guildford which has limited Indian restaurants. Near the university you can find only two options. Eat Out Guildford is an affordable choice offering good portions at a reasonable price. For a more upscale experience Shah's in Guildford Town Centre is another option. Personally, I prefer cooking at home, as it's more affordable and healthier. Tesco and Lidl, both about a 15 minute walk from the university are convenient for grocery shopping. I recommend eating out occasionally.

A truly surreal experience that has shaped me for better.
Tips: There will be a lot of culture shock when you come to the UK, but the best thing to do is to embrace the change and keep your mind open to learning about the culture. Overall transition was very smooth for me personally because I was lucky enough to meet amazing people and make friends from around the world. The University made it very easy to engage with other people, especially during the freshers' week. One thing I notice is that it doesn't matter your background or interests, there will always be a place for you here at Surrey, may it be via student societies or social clubs, so don't worry about thinking you won't be able to make friends for any reason. The university does provide scholarships for students coming from India, or at least they did when I joined, so do check. Overall, I was very satisfied with my time at university, and I have utmost faith that anyone who comes here with an open-minded mindset will have a great time here and leave with a lifetime worth of amazing memories.
Likes (Quality of faculty): I had an excellent experience with the professors. They were approachable and knowledgeable, and the teaching faculty was diverse. While some professors were more engaging than others, overall, it was an excellent experience.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There aren't many options for Indian food in Guildford. However, there are still a decent number of restaurants from other cultures, so it's not too bad if you want to order in sometimes. I prefer cooking myself, but I do order Italian food every now and then. There are also a decent number of fast-food restaurants, so you will have options, but not particularly much for late-night cravings.

I feel this is the best University.
Tips: I recommend the students before joining this University to take on-campus student's accommodation early if you are preferring to stay in campus accommodation. Since it is quite difficult to get on-campus accommodation in the University campus.
I also recommend to be an early applicant of this university.

MSc Computer Vision, Robotics and Machine Learning - Batch of 2022

A rewarding experience at the University of Surrey.
Tips: Having prior work experience in terms of M.Sc. helps. I got a scholarship of 2,000 pounds but some of my peers got bigger scholarships up to half of their tuition fees. I was really satisfied with my course and my university. My Masters course really helped me with my academics.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty members were helpful and kind. The methodology of teaching was in person. The faculty was quite diverse in terms of nationality. If we have any doubts faculty members were approachable. The course was also practical and covered most of the modern topics necessary to get into the industry.
Dislikes (Indian Food): No good option as a vegetarian. Since the food in the UK involves a lot of meat, the vegetarian options were poor in taste. Because of this, I have to cook. Indian places are costly. I did not find any variety in the food also. I found it difficult when it came to food.
