MBA with Banking & Finance - Batch of 2026

4.1

The college is very student-friendly and ambitious.

Tips: Before joining UWS students should know that it offers a supportive learning environment with practical industry exposure though it is important to manage coursework and personal time well. My transition was smooth due to the friendly campus community but adapting to a more independent study style and Scottish culture took some time. I received a merit based scholarship, which was very helpful. I am very satisfied with the university my MBA course and the welcoming environment Scotland offers to international students.

Likes (Public transportation): The UWS campus is well connected by trains, buses, and local transport making travel within the city and nearby areas easy. Public transportation is reliable, frequent, affordable, and student friendly offering convenient options that suit most schedules and budgets.

Dislikes (Internships): UWS typically does not offer guaranteed internships as part of most postgraduate programs. Some courses may include work-related learning or placement options, but internships are not always a built in feature and often depend on the course and the student's initiative.
