MMUS-Electronic Music Composition - Batch of 2025

4.2

Amazing university experience with a good work-life balance.

Tips: I have grown both personally and professionally. I have become more independent since living alone pushes you to get work done even on hard days. Coming from a cloud city in India itself, London felt like home since the noise and vibrant life made it less lonely. I did not avail any scholarship; however, the university does grant a few. I am truly quite satisfied with the course, the university and definitely the country.

Likes (Indian Food): London has many options for Indian food. You will find an indian restaurant every one kilometre away and it is loaded with good food which won't make one feel homesick. Do not forget to show your id card since student discounts are almost offered everywhere. I prefer cooking by myself since it's cheaper compared to eating outside food, and it's a healthier option.

Dislikes (Safety): London is quite neutral in this aspect since it is a blend of a safe and an unsafe city. Pick pocketing is something one should really be vigilant of since I got my phone snatched once near the bus station. But apart from that, London has always been the heart of the UK as the city is chaotic, fast, and full of life.

Experienced faculty and diverse courses at University of West London: A place of quality education.

Tips: The culture here is quite different but friendly for international students. I did not get any scholarships. I am quite satisfied with my course and the university. This country is great for studying this course as it provides practical exposure to real-world to study this course.

Likes (Safety): Uwl has a student support team where you can freely tell your queries even in case of safety. They are always ready to help. The city is great but I have faced a few difficulties. First is the mailing service in my student accommodation. I did not receive my cards on time. Later must be aware of the deposit and make it clear enough to the landlord before selecting a room from an off-campus location. Overall, this place is great for developing your skills.

Dislikes (Part time work): It is difficult to find part time job this year related to your field of study. It is a bit difficult to manage your part-time and classes in the beginning. The payout is raised from this year and is good. It completely depends on the student to manage expenses.

Masters in Business Administration - Batch of 2023

2.1

Be you and all follows. Good university to start your abroad journey.

Tips: The course selection should be wise otherwise you cannot change once you pick up a course. Also, be aware of future jobs cause the rules state that we have to work in the same field as our course. Nothing apart from these. When you come here you will figure it out.

Likes (Public transportation): Transportation is really good apart from the regular strikes. Otherwise, it is better to take student accommodation so that the travel and expenses part is sorted. Either way, it is the same expense. So it didn’t really matter to me. I had opted for a student dorm.

Dislikes (Part time work): I haven't found a part-time yet. Help is given by the university as their career fairs are very specific to future jobs here. Also the part-time jobs are not relevant to your previous experience. We have to work on random things and struggle for a full time. Just like I am doing it

This university is the best for students.

Tips: The University is the best university for an international student. It provides help in every possible aspect to an international student who does not know how to deal with assignments. They even help getting a job when you are new to the country. This university is the best for students.

Likes (Post study jobs): Students are given every possible help, be it module related or in the library and also related to career. There are specific departments just to help students with examinations. Students also get free transport from one campus to another with shuttle service.

Dislikes (Safety): Very friendly faculty. The faculty are experienced in their respective fields and always share their experience and tips along with explaining the relevant topic during the lecture. The feedback given by them always helps to excel in examinations.
