NTU: Growth, support and success.

Tips: I received a merit-based scholarship that significantly reduced my tuition fees. The application process required early submission, academic records, and a strong personal statement. While it didn't cover living expenses, it did ease financial stress.

Likes (Post study jobs): NTU offers strong career support, and the UK has many graduate roles with visa sponsorship. Companies in IT, business, and engineering recruit here, with salaries averaging 25,000 - 35,000. Guidance and employer links make opportunities accessible.

Dislikes (Value for money): Tuition at NTU is high, but the facilities, modern resources, and practical course structure make it worthwhile. Scholarships help reduce costs, but living expenses add up, so overall, it feels fair, but not perfect value.

NTU provides good guidance through career services, CV workshops, and employer events.

Tips: Nottingham Trent University offers modern facilities, a diverse culture, and strong career links. The transition was smooth with the support, even though the study style differed. I gained tuition fee scholarships, which eased the cost. Overall, I'm satisfied with my course, the university, and life in the UK.

Likes (Public transportation): NTU is well-connected by trams, buses, and trains. The campus is in the city centre, making travel quick and convenient. Student passes make fares affordable, and frequent services make computing easy and reliable.

Dislikes (Internships): NTU provides good guidance through career services, CV workshops, and employers events. Many internships are relevant to my field, but competition is high, and some roles are unpaid, which makes access slightly challenging.

Cyber Security- BSc (Hons) - Batch of 2027

Offered by Nottingham Trent University

Felt lively with all the events and fellow students.

Tips: It's pretty much normal, and the transition for undergraduate courses is much tougher than for master's. Not much preparation is required to adjust, but start applying for internships as soon as possible so that it's easier to transition to full-time work, as experience matters.

Likes (Part time work): Many workplaces, like restaurants, offer flexible hours that accommodate the university schedule, which is a definite advantage. As a student in a major city, there are numerous opportunities to apply for part-time work, and it's relatively easy to find a position, especially with a reference.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There are plenty of Indian restaurants, but they aren't as good as traditional Indian food. Fortunately, there are also plenty of Indian grocery stores, so cooking isn't a problem. You have to travel to Leicester for good Indian food; the ones in Notts are not up to par, so learn to cook or suffer.

Nottingham is a vibrant student city with a diverse mix of cultures.

Tips: There are great scholarships offered by the university, and you should definitely apply. There are many Indian people here, so don't worry about fitting in. Also, good Indian food and festivals are celebrated with a lot of enthusiasm at the Hindu temple every year.

Likes (Safety): Campus and overall Nottingham are very safe. The people are helpful, and the university offers various facilities to support students. I can personally attest to the safety; it was safe for me to walk back from the train station to my accommodation at 2:30 am. Public transport is also very safe.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are not many companies sponsoring students due to new immigration regulations, making it difficult to find a job, but skills matter. IT job roles are generally available, starting around 5,000 per year, and part-time work is varied and also available.

Masters at NTU is a roadmap to self growth.

Tips: There are scholarships easily achievable. Look for them and prepare well, as they can be up to £30,000. The course is designed to be largely independent study, so self-motivation is key. The university takes plagiarism and academic writing very seriously; reading papers and citing them correctly is very important. Come with patience and a genuine interest in learning and growing. Culturally, there is so much to learn in the city, so come with an open mind and open arms.

Likes (Student Life): NTU City campus is in the city centre, offering many activities between and after classes. The library is great for studying, with a small cafeteria. There is a park right next to the university, and many pubs, clubs, and restaurants nearby. There are always events happening, such as girls' nights at the NTU Pubs, quizzes and games at the student cultural center, and sports events at the student union. Participation in activities is encouraged, and living in student accommodation is even better. There are clubs for fashion, sports, theatre, dance, and art, and you can start a club if one doesn't exist.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Sponsorship for creative roles was always difficult to obtain and has become even more so since July 22nd. While many jobs are available, landing one is more challenging if you lack prior experience. Salary packages for freshers typically range from £250,000 to £300,000, depending on the role and city.
