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.

Balanced academic experience.

Tips: The transition was smooth for international students. I got a small scholarship while applying for my course based on merit and professional experience. Diverse and vibrant college environment. Many student led clubs and activities are encouraged. I am satisfied with my university and the course but not satisfied with the country's market situation.

The university is good and the faculty are helpful.

Tips: Be ready to touch the lowest point of your life. University is amazing but not the city. I would suggest going to a big city and getting a university there because a university doesn't really matter unless and until it's a top university like Cambridge or Oxford. Because in a small city you won't get any part time jobs and there's not much difference in universities.

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.

Multi diverse university and friendly and cooperative university.

Tips: Use any discounts that are available here. Book cheap airline tickets, get student discounts, download discount apps, and use voucher codes. Don’t bring too many winter clothes from home, it’s much better to buy them here because Indian jackets don’t cut it in the UK. Leicester is very diverse and there are a lot of Indian restaurants here where you can get good Indian food. You can find everything from South Indian dishes to Turkish food here. You can go out here without spending a lot of money, too. In the UK, there aren’t any specific arrangements in place for internships, like there are in India. Here, you have to apply externally yourself. There are some instances of companies advertising their roles on campus or at events, and networking can be useful, but most of the time, they say to apply online.
