Best academics, but career growth depends on self effort.
Tips: Look, the uni is great for the academic side of things, obviously, but you've gotta realize that landing a job or an internship is basically just down to you. It takes a ton of networking and just... putting yourself out there constantly. My move over was smooth enough, but the weather and just the general lifestyle change was a massive shock to the system, especially without any scholarships or anything like that to lean on. You honestly have to take charge of your own career from day one—applying for everything and just constantly building up your skills. The uni gives you the basic stuff like job boards and some advice, but at the end of the day, the hard work is really just on you. Adjusting to the cold and everything takes time, especially if you're dealing with health stuff, and you just have to learn to be way more independent and handle the day-to-day on your own. It does get easier once you've got a routine sorted, but yeah, it’s a good experience for exposure as long as you're actually getting out there and making it happen. It's just a lot of work.
Likes (Indian Food): Honestly, you won't really struggle to find something familiar to eat here since there's just so much Indian, Asian, and even Middle Eastern food all over the place. If you're grabbing a takeaway, you're usually looking at around £15 to £20, while a sit-down meal at a restaurant is probably more like £20 to £30. Groceries are everywhere too, and the prices vary quite a bit between stores, so cooking for yourself is actually a pretty solid way to keep your costs down.
Dislikes (Internships): Opportunities exist but are not easy to access for international students. The university offers guidance like CV review ad job portals, but most of the efforts are self-driven. Internships in the field are highly competitive and securing one requires early preparation and consistent application and strong networking.

New learnings for new beginnings.
Tips: I experienced a cultural shift, since it is a Western country, and we will experience a huge cultural shift. But you will feel good and learn a lot. I got a personal scholarship from my university since I performed well in my undergraduate studies. I am completely satisfied with all the things.
Likes (Value for money): The tuition fee for my course is justified. I had good and well-mastered lecturers from whom I gained a lot of knowledge about my course, and also I should speak about the campus safety, where every single person who studies at that university is taken care of.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are a lot of companies that are offering visas for work. But it all depends upon how you perform in your academics and actively apply for jobs. As a student, you can work up to 20 hrs per week in any role, and you can get to know about the opening from the university portals themselves, where you'll be paid up to 900 pounds per month.

Part-time work opportunities in York are plentiful because it's a tourist destination.
Tips: It’s a beautiful, pleasant town. And the university was a good choice for my area of study. Students must be careful while choosing the place they wanna live in according to their preferences. It’s definitely not easy to live in a whole new place, leaving family and home. Part-time work opportunities in York are plentiful because it's a tourist destination. Students should be able to get good tips because the restaurants are usually busy. They also have the chance to work at stores and malls in the city centre, where commissions are paid on top of the base wage, providing an added incentive to perform well.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I personally wouldn’t want to settle in the UK as their healthcare system isn’t great. If you have a really high-paying job, then maybe it’s a good choice. But it’s not easy to manage the cost of living there as it’s too high. And kids won’t be getting any citizenship until 7 years old, which is another con.

University of York is one of the best university for research.
Tips: Students should learn the basics, make use of the resources, and be extremely satisfied with the professors and course material. The transition was easy, and there was a diverse student body that provided many opportunities to interact and learn. However, I did not apply for a scholarship. Overall, I am quite content with my experiences here.
Likes (Post study jobs): There are more than 100+ companies in the UK that are relevant to the audio industry. On average, people can get paid anywhere from 25,000 to 50,000 per year. There is a variety of work available in the audio industry for potential candidates.
Dislikes (Internships): The University of York provides a lot of guidance to students on how to get internships. They have a career and placement cell that is extremely helpful when it comes to providing guidance on companies and other requirements.

MSc Engineering Management - Batch of 2023
4.0
Great campus life, amazing academics but dull UK job market.
Tips: Academics are rigorous but not stressful. It focuses on more independent study. Time management and self-discipline are crucial. York is a historically picturesque city but small compared to other cities like Birmingham and Manchester. It's great for students who enjoy a laidback atmosphere, as it gives easy access to nature and historically sits. The cost of living is on the higher side. You can find international stores to get desi stuff. UK academic culture stresses critical thinking and independent research, so that's one thing that was a bit different from India. For many the UK weather could be a challenge and sunlight hours also affect people. I did not avail of scholarships, but my friends did. You just have to write an essay or answer a few questions, and if you have done well, you can get a fee exception. I am very satisfied with my university and course. But the job market in the country is a bit of an issue. 
Likes (Student Life): I would say exceptional student life. Lively campus and picturesque views. I mean, the campus is really beautiful. A short walk can cheer one up on your worst day. The university accommodation is fantastic. UoY provides an inclusive atmosphere. My day started with lectures and seminars followed by self-study in UoY's world-class library facility. Then I would go for free sports, where I made a lot of friends from different countries and backgrounds. The freshman week is the best time. You make really good connections and enjoy free food. The library is open till late hours and 24x7 during examinations. Various kinds of events are organized, and you can experience the Roses tournament as well. The variety of student-run societies like academic societies, sports clubs, and cultural and international societies allows each student to get involved. There are student discounts on food and gym subscriptions as well. 
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job market exposure is limited. The university is known for excellent research, though, but it does not help that much to secure a job. But it can surely help the students who want to go into the research and development or academic path. The city is smaller than Manchester or Birmingham and has a reputation for tourism rather than industrial presence, which makes it difficult to get opportunities. But, in general, the whole UK job market is not in favour of immigrants. So, it's not just the university. Very few companies offer jobs to international students and even fewer offer sponsorship. Graduate roles are very hard to secure. It makes sense and a bit easier if one has work experience. Job roles offered: data analyst, software developer, consultant, process specialist. Salary packages range from GBP 25k to 35k.

A historical institution to build a better future for all people from all walks of life.
Tips: The transition to a new country is never simple but there is a lot of support for anyone that's looking for it. Before moving to York, it would be good to get in contact with coursemates and students you will be living with. In addition, spend time looking into societies you want to get involved in as early on in the year there will be plenty of taste sessions to go and participate in which will aid in socializing in a new environment. The university also has a buddy programme that would put you in touch with someone at the university who may have gone through the experience previously and guide you through an easy transition experience. Looking for part-time jobs is fairly easy as well, the university has its own platform, Handshake to look for opportunities. Indeed is a great widely used option as well.
Likes (Safety): Campus security maintains a very active presence on campus with routine patrols to ensure safety and is very helpful in medical emergencies as well. Other than campus security, York is generally a very safe city. It consistently ranks in the top 5 of the safest areas within the UK for student areas which means stepping out late at night can be stress-free for everyone.
Dislikes (Public transportation): York has a well established bus network that allows you to travel around the city comfortably with options to track bus timings. We also have an app as well. The train station in the city centre has great connectivity with direct trains to London taking about 2 hours.
