MSc International Business Management - Batch of 2023
4.2
Exceptional student experience, world-leading sport, and top-tier university.
Tips: Many students at the university make it feel like home. The transition was smooth and welcoming, thanks to the university's strong sense of community, diverse student body and the supportive staff. There is a separate International Experience team that helps and supports the International students. I did not avail myself of any scholarship, but overall, I'm highly satisfied with the university, the course, International Business Management and the country, the UK.
Likes (Safety): All halls of residence feature secure entry systems and have dedicated Hall wardens and sub-wardens who provide support. There are CCTV cameras that cover the entire campus, monitored at all times. The college is equipped with fire safety systems, emergency exits, and fire extinguishers. Lockers are provided for bicycle storage, ensuring they are properly secured at all times. Trained personnel provide first aid assistance in case of any emergency.
Dislikes (Internships): The University offers guidance and support for the students seeking internships. The University careers network provides resources such as job vacancy listings, dedicated internship programmes to help students with their applications. For example, Talent Match are promoted through the University platform and students are encouraged to engage further to make full use of the same.

Sporty and modern university with wide campus.
Tips: If you want to get into sports, this is the destination for you. Number one in sports management in the world. Excellent sports facilities, training, testing, and progress monitoring. Amazing and huge campus for a good university vibe. Good range of courses for bachelor's to master's and PhD as well. Faculty are supportive, helpful, and will guide us with internships and assignments. Public transportation is manageable, convenient, and accessible at an affordable price. The people are very friendly and well-behaved. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experiences.

University life can be drastically different for everyone.
Tips: Before joining this college, students should understand what course they are taking up and what facilities are available on campus. There are many activities and sessions that are offered for free, but students are often not aware of them. So, it is important to do your research beforehand.
Likes (Safety): There are security vans that patrol at all times. Also, the campus is always lively with people jogging around. However, because it's a small town, there's not a lot of crime. Even so, always try to walk in groups at night.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are part time jobs available on campus but because it's a small student town the options are limited. However there are opportunities for on-campus employment so it's not that bad. But a part-time job is difficult to manage when you have a heavy course load.

MSc in International Business - Batch of 2019
3.2
Potential learning but placement issues.
Tips: I got a scholarship of 4,000 Pounds and didn't have to take an entrance exam. I couldn't get a placement after graduation because of Brexit. Although I liked the university, the course didn't have value in my country, so it was pointless. I loved the country and the standard of living.
Likes (Safety): I felt safe even when I was out at 4 am in the town because it's never quiet and there are many lights on the road. Everything was accessible and nearby, so I didn't have to go away from home. Even at night, transportation is easily accessible and private cabs are available too.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I didn't get any placement offers from the university after I completed my master's degree. There was no placement cell for any guidance, so everyone who earned their master's degree had to go back home. Even though university life was fun and the course provided good learning, placement really destroyed everything.

University is really good in terms of quality of education and faculties.
Tips: Loughborough University provides 20 to 10% of scholarships depending upon the criteria. The cultural difference that I faced after coming to UK was that everything closed by 6 pm but totally satisfied with the university. The course is really interesting.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Loughborough university is renowned for its high-quality faculty members in their respective fields. They often hold regular office hours, respond promptly to emails, and are willing to schedule appointments for additional support and guidance. The university employs a diverse range of teaching methodologies. Designed to cater to different learning styles.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Loughborough university is a small town where no settlement can be seen. Except for the university, there's nothing which can give you job opportunities, and students can't get settled because of a lack of professional opportunities. You need to go out and work in another big city.

MSc in Business Analytics - Batch of 2023
4.6
University with top ranking and great student satisfaction rate.
Tips: I have experienced a cultural shift at the beginning of the semester. Teaching method, assignments were completely different from my home country. Later it was not a problem because we got used to it. I was awarded with the scholarship. It covered 20% of the tuition fee. I think B.Teach and 12th standard marks helped me with the scholarship. I am very much satisfied with the overall performance of the university. However, it completely depends upon ourselves how we will use the opportunities which are provided by the university.
Likes (Quality of faculty): For the Business Analytics course we used to have 5 days classes in a week. Morning sessions are lectures continuing sessions with the computer lab. So lab sessions are most of the practice of the lessons which are covered. University has a diverse teaching faculty which includes experienced faculty from all around the globe.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): At present I am looking for a job offer who will sponsor for my visa to stay in the country. If I get the one then there is a higher chance to settle in the United Kingdom. If I have a chance I would like to permanently immigrate to this country.
