MSc in Finance (International Finance) - Batch of 2024
4.5
The university is in the heart of London.
Tips: It's a very easy going transition. You will find a lot of people coming from similar backgrounds. It's a very multicultural university. Scholarships are also available, and for my course and campus, I am very satisfied. I had the opportunity to study with a great faculty who were very helpful throughout.
Likes (Value for money): It's an amazing university, located in the heart of London, plus my campus was right opposite the tube station, great connectivity, amazing faculty and networking events throughout the year. There are societies that host events which are too good and must attend, plus the Bloomberg terminals, IT labs, library, it's all very well equipped.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There were very limited options in the cafeteria and back when I was studying, there was no concept of on campus lunch. We had to go off campus to eat during lecture breaks, so it used to get difficult to figure out lunch; otherwise, it's decent since uni is in central London, it's a bit hard to find options.

Worth it for the exposure and academic quality.
Tips: The Cavendish campus is very central, very well connected. The course itself has well-equipped labs and supportive faculty but its quite independent as it is a M.Sc. course, so managing studying with managing monthly expenses in the city is very important. There are multiple scholarships available on the basis of your Bachelors grade and CGPA. I got a scholarship for 4000 pounds which was very helpful. I am quite satisfied with my choice as it helped me shape my character, manage all aspects of life and thrive in my career at the same time.
Likes (Value for money): The course quality, faculty support, and learning experience justified the investment. The exposure, career focused curriculum provided a strong value for the tuition fee. The teachers are really open to listening and solving your problems.
Dislikes (Safety): My campus was in Central London. There were incidents of phone snatching sometimes. Being in such a central location was also a major advantage. The exposure, convenience and easy access to transport truly helped us.

Culturally abundant with good opportunities.
Tips: The best thing about this college is its location and the proximity it enjoys by being in central London as it is well connected to all the city's hotspots and travel is convenient as well. You will be among a diverse group of international students and campus life will be very exciting. There will be lots of clubs and activities to participate in and enhance your communication skills.

Best year of my life at Westminster.
Tips: This is a good college and one that is a top University while also being in the 15-18 lakh per annum range. This is what makes this university desirable. Overall, I would recommend this university to students who want quality and don't want to spend too much at the same time .
Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation in London is amazing. There is an availability of buses and trains at a 5-10 minute frequency and also no station or stop is ever 5 minutes away from wherever you may be. This makes getting around to your workplace and university very convenient.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): University of Westminster is a good university but I wouldn't say that it is exactly supportive when it comes to the staff. The course is very helpful for your career in the field of psychology. Due to the staff not being so supportive, there isn't much assistance when it comes to post study jobs.

A great choice for academic excellence.
Tips: Central location is amazing, great supportive staff, Cavendish campus remodelled so science labs are all brand new with updated equipment. The professors really care about students and postgrad opportunities in London are abundant if you wish to seek employment. The quality of education prepared me for a successful career in the workforce.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The staff were accessible, approachable, generous with their time, patient, and understanding. I really felt like the staff advocated for their students and truly wished to see everyone succeed. They brought in guest speakers to help with career advice and guidance near graduation.
