3.9

One of the best disciplined university.

Tips: They said it's difficult to pass and they'll fail most of the M.Sc. students but it all depends on us. If we attend revision classes and do all assignments on our own, we can easily pass with distinction. But one thing I didn't like was that most of them are Indians. If you're someone who wants to improve communication, this university or this city is not for you.

Likes (Quality of faculty): In my department, my faculty were friendly and were available whenever needed. If we don't understand they'll clearly explain again. We don't have to worry about their nationality, we can easily understand their accent. Also, we get recorded sessions if we don't get them in class, we can access them whenever needed.

Dislikes (Internships): Finding internships in the UK isn't easy but it's not difficult either. Need to learn how to manage tons of assignments, part-time and applications for jobs. Here we get companies coming to the university but it's beneficial only for undergraduates but not post-graduates. It's better to use LinkedIn, Amazon, and Reed apps.

A well balanced university.

Tips: The transition was not too bad. A variety of students also study here from diverse backgrounds. City is pretty affordable as well. Scholarships and bursary options can be available too for students who have had a difficult background.

Likes (Indian Food): Many restaurants are available in the city but I prefer cooking rather than eating out, as it is a great way to save money. Lots of delicious Asian, Chinese and Italian restaurants are available and are budget friendly for students.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The professors are very good and are ready to help with any issues that may arise. People are friendly. Very lively place aswell for students to thrive in and make new friends to help develop socially.

3.2

An academically strict university with low fees and a high ranking.

Tips: No cultural shifts need adjusting, only the weather. I received a scholarship of 5000 pounds. The university was fine, but the infrastructure needs more development, and the country's transportation system could also use some improvement.

Likes (Indian Food): Leicester consists of a larger indian population, so a greater variety of food is available, even tiffin services. There are many restaurants like SKVP and Biryaniwala, which are cheaper compared to other restaurants in the UK. I mostly preferred to cook by myself. Indian students can prefer to go to Falcon Mall. Living with friends makes it easier to prepare food and get ready for university.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Due to strict laws and updates in rules, it is difficult to get sponsored jobs. Experienced workers should take admission to university rather than as a fresher. I got my first job worth 25000, a GPA and a bonus every month. But, you need to go through higher competitions inside the company or to switch jobs as you are a UK experienced professional and get sponsorship. Then, the routes are open for permanent immigration. First, you can get a 3-year visa and then a 5-year Tier 2 visa, so you can apply for ILR.

Free shuttle bus service is available, but the public transport system isn't well-connected.

Tips: Be prepared for general cultural differences such as toilet paper availability and accents. Also be aware that scholarships and allowances are very difficult to obtain requiring significant financial need. Thoroughly research the university before applying. I am satisfied with my experiences. They provided the minimum required.

Likes (Public transportation): Free shuttle bus service is available but the public transport system isn't well connected, and you may have to wait for buses. It's convenient if you plan ahead. The shuttle bus runs every 15 minutes which I liked but the rest of the public transport options were somewhat challenging but manageable.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The options aren't great but I'm willing to try. I need to work hard, keep applying, and test my luck. My chances aren't good, but I'll work to see what works for me. I'd like the opportunity to move here, but not permanently, as I don't really like the idea.

MSc in Management, Finance and Accounting - Batch of 2025

2.9

The job market in the UK is really tough.

Tips: I have seen growth in myself in terms of communication, personality and being independent. I got a 3000 pounds scholarship in tuition fees, which I feel is really normal. I think most people get some amount of scholarship. I am satisfied with business analytics and strategic finance subjects. Other than that, everything was pretty much basic. Overall, Leicester is pretty much boring, so make sure you make friends to keep yourself sane. Everything looks good from the outside, but the struggle will start when you start living away from family.

Likes (Public transportation): The city is well-connected with buses. And there's a free bus service that takes a round trip in Leicester called the Hopp, which is helpful. Otherwise, bus charges are 2 pounds. Plus, everything is within walking distance, so you can just walk if you don't want to pay for transport.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): It is about the competition, and the job market in the UK is really tough. You have to stand out to have sponsorship jobs in terms of skills and knowledge. I would suggest upgrading your skills while doing your Master's to stand yourself. Find an internship when there's a holiday. The average salary is around 32000 pounds.
