Select the course you are interested in, rather than just the college name.

Tips: The quality of your experience largely depends on the course you adopt or take up. Be sure to vet the contents of the course and also know of your faculty members teaching here before investing. The institution is renowned for Competition law and other allied specialities. Do your homework thoroughly before investing.

Likes (Internships): Guidance is available on the careers page of the website, and the alumni network is helpful. The alumni base on LinkedIn is also very helpful in guiding one in the application forms as to the kind of answers and responses that should be given in the application forms for an internship to materials.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The label of any university is not sufficient - work experience and individual merit matter very much. Will strongly recommend applying for internships in the UK alongside coursework, and also, if you are pursuing a Master's, then gaining some relevant work experience in your home jurisdiction first.

Positive but less hands-on experience.

Tips: The experience at King's is truly one of a kind. You meet so many people, and that is extremely helpful. The cost of living, including accommodation, is quite expensive here. While I am very satisfied with the college infrastructure, there could be more internships and hands-on experience offered.

The campus is very vibrant and full of life.

Tips: The campus is very vibrant and full of life, which is the sort of environment I thrive in. My lessons have been interesting mainly because of my professors, and I have spent a lot on time exploring the nearby hidden gems. On reaching here, get a monthly metro card and save cost on commute.

A great global exposure with best faculty and university.

Tips: I have seen major changes in my personality since I joined this course a year ago. From becoming a multi-tasker to widening my perspective towards cultures and people from all around the world, this growth has been a great blessing. I was not awarded any scholarship. I had the most supportive, helpful, intelligent and fun professors in my course. Made the subject matter super easy and they all had great knowledge of their subject. They encouraged doubts and would sit with you till they were all cleared. The course was structured to get the best out of students. The post-study job market is a bit harsh and it would be great if the college took more initiative in having placements for the students. Overall, I am 100% satisfied with the course, university and the country.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): If you have a great profile before your Master's - for example, 1-2 years of relevant work experience, professional degrees, etc. - then your chances of getting a post-study job are much better compared to someone going for their Master's right after undergraduate. The post-study job market is very competitive, rewarding only the best candidates.

The transition to London helped me gain social skills and boost confidence.

Tips: London can be incredibly expensive. However, there are several ways to find affordable ways of living as a student so ensure you do your research before moving to London. KCL and London in general are very metropolitan so there are countless cultures and ethnicities to mingle with, making it smooth and quite enjoyable. For scholarships, it's quite difficult to avail of any as most are offered to Masters students and the UK very rarely offers scholarships for international students. However, there are different ways to avail of bursaries depending on your university/course. Students should ensure they do extensive research as they tend to be hidden.

Likes (Public transportation): London's public transport is world-renowned, very well-connected, and also very easy to navigate and understand. However, it does tend to be quite expensive if you live far from the city centre. There are buses, the London Underground and the London Overground. Most train services end at night but on the weekend, there are night tubes that run late into the night so it's possible to get home after night out.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): It is quite difficult to secure a job if you're not studying for a highly-value degree. Visa sponsorship is quite easy to secure, especially at bigger firms. Again, depending on the major studied, salaries and roles can range from impossible to secure to incredible remunerative.
