Good for personal growth.
Tips: Know what you want to do. Start applying early on. Get your application right. It’s not that easy to get admission here. Once you come here you’ll be overwhelmed by the sheer vastness of the city and the uni, but do not let it intimidate you. Strive to do your best and aim to work here after graduation, so that it’s all worth it.
Likes (Student Life): From classes to pubs to society activities, it’s all great. You get to explore central London, which has a rustic yet modern feel to it. The east campus is in Canary Wharf, the business district, so that you get the corporate feel. The faculty is one of the best in the world, ranking is good, academically oriented and produces future assets, i.e., the graduates.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Chances are low because of the new and stricter immigration rules. Since the new rules introduced in July 2025 made it more difficult for companies to sponsor visas for jobs, it’s gonna be very hard to secure a permanent role after graduation. But you still have to try.

An adventurous year in London and UCL.
Tips: UCL is a highly competitive university, and one has to work twice as hard to score well in comparison to an Indian university. Also, there are 3 terms in a year - this means that classes will be held in the first 2 terms, and the last term is for exams/final assessment and research essay. UCL is also strict about the usage of AI or ChatGPT for assignments.
Likes (Quality of faculty): UCL is one of the oldest institutions in the UK, so all the professors are highly educated and accomplished in their fields. In the law faculty, I have seen the Law Commission as a professor; the lawyer of the Queen is also a professor. So, you don't have to worry about the quality of education here as it will be world-class, and the employers recognise this institute and give preference to the UCL students.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I don't know much about the permanent settlement or immigration information in the UK, as I am a current student at UCL and I don't wish to apply for the same, but I hope that whoever wishes to apply for it does not get disappointed about the same. But the facilities here are easy to use, and people are quite friendly, so you can get more information after reaching London.

My college has been a transformative experience so far, shaping both academic and career growth.
Tips: My transition was particularly from Mumbai to London, so I didn't really have problem adjusting to the fast paced life here. I did get an internal scholarship of 50 percent, your SOP is very critical for that. The university offers multiple modules to choose from. It is ranked as one of the top most universities in the world and it couldn't get better than that.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is way more approachable and helpful. You can always visit them during office hours or drop an email. The course is content heavy and mostly your understanding of the class depends on how well you have completed the readings that were offered to you prior. Solicitors and barristers from around the world are teaching the course and UCL has a big alumni base.
Dislikes (Safety): The campus is around Central London and not the Gate. There have been instances of theft. The campus security is top notch but they themselves can't do a lot about the outside situation. One has to be careful walking in these areas. Also, avoid travelling alone initially.

Avoid studying in high ranked universities in places like London
Tips: Avoid coming to the United Kingdom or London, there is a housing and eco-crisis going on currently, opportunities are very limited. Go to places like the Netherlands or Germany instead. There are hardly opportunities for everyone. There is no global exposure also, UK is filled with Indians.
Dislikes (Value for money): Definitely not a value for money, professors arena like the Indians ones, everything needs to be done on our own! Engagement opportunities are minimal, it's just restricted to two floors. Lack of practical exposure and you still get tested based on examinations.

Excellent master's programme, with a strong quantitative bent.
Tips: The programme is very intense and students spend at least 60-70 hours per week on the programme. It is an excellent programme that will benefit students for many years to come. Obtaining a scholarship can greatly help in managing expenses. Nevertheless, I find such a programme a good investment as it will benefit students in diverse career trajectories throughout their careers.

UCL University 
Highlights

  • Architecture BSc offers students a wide and diverse range of experiences so that they can develop an independent, creative, experimental and rigorous approach to design. Students are guided towards discovering their own architectural vision within a vibrant and exciting culture
  • In each year of the degree, students will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from program to program and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS)
  • The program is based in the studio and the majority is taught through individual design projects. Most of the design teaching is on a one-to-one or small group weekly tutorial basis with frequent review sessions with tutors, many of whom are also practicing architects. History and theory, professional studies and technology core modules support the design work and are taught in lectures, seminars, and workshops
