MBA - Batch of 2025

4.4

College is really good but you shouldn’t do MBA from here.

Tips: You will most definitely transform, in terms of your behaviour and personality, you will be much more cautious in spending money and time. You will become a calmer version of yourself than before. I am quite satisfied with the outcome; whatever I had expected out of me, I have achieved it.

Likes (Part time work): There is a major availability of part time jobs on and off the campus, but the catch is that you will have to network more and more to make connections to secure jobs. Part time work is quite manageable if you don't mess around. The average pay is around 800-1000 monthly.

Dislikes (Internships): There is availability of internships but you probably actively have to search for each and everything. Regarding guidance, your programme mentor might help but is not bound to depend but as a university, they do not provide first hand services for getting internships.

MSc in Data Science - Batch of 2024

2.8

Leeds Beckett does not offer any specific placement programs.

Tips: People on campus are friendly. Finding part-time jobs might be hard as Leeds is a student hub. Of course, there are cultural differences when moving to another continent, but nothing too hard that one can't get accustomed to in the first one or two months. I did get a scholarship based on my grade for international students.

Likes (Safety): The city is safe, the campus is mostly safe and guarded. There is a shuttle bus from City campus to Headingley campus and vice versa on designated times, so if you plan your day around it, you don't really have to depend on public transportation and can save quite a good amount of money.

Dislikes (Internships): Unlike most Indian universities, Leeds Beckett does not offer any specific placement programs. Instead, it facilitates the job-hunting process. Internships can be hard to secure, and your skills and talent play a primary role in securing them. You have a lot of occasions and events to make connections. Networking at these events can help you meet potential employers.

MBA - Batch of 2025

4.0

The process of applying for a visa to work is expensive.

Tips: I have become more independent and have made friends across all nationalities. The simpler part of Leeds is its friendly crowd and social culture that makes it easy for making friends. The university is in the city centre, which makes it very accessible. The Leeds City Bus Services are a convenient way to get around, and the train and bus stations are both within two miles’ distance of the university. Using your student pass to purchase tickets makes bus travel affordable, and having a rail card gives you discounts on travel between cities. I did not avail of any scholarships as I come from an Indian university tie-up programme. I am quite satisfied with my university and the UK in general.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I'm not interested in settling down in the UK. The process of applying for a visa to work is expensive, and it is hard to guarantee that there is a job waiting for me. People who have sponsorship roles can make the process more affordable. However, for most others, it is expensive. My goal was to finish my MBA and start up a company in India. Putting deliberate thought and effort into your job search will help land you a job in the UK.

MSc International Events Management - Batch of 2024

3.8

The university provides us with internship opportunities and has great academics.

Tips: Students should know that the university has two campuses, the city campus and the Headingley campus. Scholarships are available at both campuses and they range up to 3000 pounds. The university provides good exposure to the students which is very helpful for their future careers. I love the culture, the place and the people here. It's a great place to study, learn and get a job. I would personally recommend coming here to study and stay. I'd like to stay here myself and excel in my studies so that I can start my own business. I am very satisfied with the university and the course I am pursuing.

Likes (Part time work): The university is very vast and helpful. It helps students get internships and explore new opportunities that could lead to full-time jobs. An internship is the best way to get a career boost and if the university offers placement assistance that's even better.

MSc Strategic Sport Marketing - Batch of 2025

4.1

Leeds Beckett University is fun going and friendly university.

Tips: Before joining Leeds Beckett University, students should know that it's essential to have a backup plan and be financially prepared, as relevant jobs are hard to come by. Students should also focus on doing their own assignments and not outsource them, as this can lead to complications. Overall, I'm satisfied with the module content at Leeds Beckett University.

Likes (Student Life): It's vibrant as Leeds is mostly a student-based city. You can share your rent with friends and spend less too. You can split groceries as well because everyone is very friendly here. I've been to so many nightclubs and events that it really feels very festive.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): I have attended so many job fairs but haven't gotten in yet. And most of the companies that offer jobs are non-relevant to sports. I have only worked in part-time jobs while studying in this university, full time jobs are really hard to get and sponsorship too.
