Glasgow Caledonian university is worth it.
Tips: We will get to know about various cultures here especially Scottish culture is very unique and new to us. The scholarship was 2000 and given by university as I was a top-ranked student. I am very satisfied with university teaching my course will enhance my knowledge and my career prospects. The country is very welcoming for international students.

Dislikes (Value for money): The quality of knowledge given by the experienced faculty is very helpful. The guidance for further opportunities and future prospects is worth it for an international student who is coming here to build their career and future. The course work is worthy.

There are not much internship opportunities for Masters students.
Tips: One of the best universities for providing the best education at the most reasonable price. The academic staff is highly qualified and the learning experience that the university provides is excellent. The university has different organizational bodies for every academic and on-campus issue. Also, the university is well equipped with learning resources availability and a development centre. Overall, it has been an amazing experience. Great academic and industrial contacts.
Likes (Post study jobs): Post study job options are excellent. University has contacts with a lot of major industries and companies and for that matter, they organize various career fairs through student's association. These fairs provide a lot of networking opportunities. Student's association guides us regarding various networking opportunities of the same kind.
Dislikes (Internships): There are not much internship opportunities for Masters students. Students mostly opt for a full time job experience or graduate placements in companies after Masters. If anyone still wants to do internship then the university has a lot of facilities to guide you on how to apply for it on your own.

Amazing course and great professors.
Tips: Coming from India where I felt the assignments were really easy and could be done in a day, it was a difficult transition because here it is difficult to complete the assignments in even a month. You need good background knowledge, and they aren't gonna spoon-feed or teach you everything from scratch. Before coming here I was told this master's study is going to be IIT level, and it is almost the same pressure. Europeans in general have far better coding skills than us, so it is a constant pressure to keep up with them too. I didn't get a scholarship but I have friends who did, they cover the entire tuition fee. The Netherlands also has a housing allowance, so the government gives back almost 30-40% of the rent each month to support internationally.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The teaching faculty here is really nice and helpful. They had a lot of knowledge about what they were teaching and very well-designed course structures. Mostly all the professors I had were European, but I did see a lot of Asian professors too. They curate the assignments really well so you get to learn a lot just from a single assignment.

Quality education without any pressure.
Tips: I was awarded an Erasmus Mundus scholarship to attend the University of Amsterdam. I was happy with my university as it is the world's top communication college, and their quality of education is top-notch. I received a monthly allowance of 1000 Euros, which covered my tuition and health insurance. The university has an international crowd, which makes it easy to make new friends.
Likes (Safety): I felt safe walking around at night, even at 3 or 4 in the morning after student parties. The locality is pretty nice and safe, and the community functions on trust. This makes it easy to adjust to the campus culture.
Dislikes (Internships): I ended up getting an internship in Germany but not in the Netherlands, which was quite difficult. There are plenty of internships available, but you need to apply proactively. The competition is fierce, and internships are not easy to get. It requires careful planning.

Friendly people and great transportation facilities.
Tips: While there is indeed a cultural shift, people are friendly and will help you acclimate smoothly. Although I did not apply for a scholarship, they are available for students with a strong background. Additionally, the government provides subsidies on certain expenses. Overall, I was quite satisfied with the course, the university and the country.
Likes (Student Life): The University assists in finding student accommodation, which is generally safe and reliable. Public transport in the area is both excellent and secure, making it easy to get around. Amsterdam, being a popular tourist destination, benefits from significant government efforts to ensure the safety of both residents and expats.
Dislikes (Part time work): Due to the short duration of the course and the requirements to complete a thesis within 3 months, it is challenging to secure part-time roles like teaching assistantships. While managing a part-time job is possible, it largely depends on how well a student grasps the course material. Since the curriculum is less demanding, students generally have enough time to balance both work and academics. The primary obstacle in finding part-time work is the language requirement since most jobs require proficiency in Dutch.

Embracing growth and balance in university life.
Tips: The course is challenging and requires a lot of self-discipline and time management. However, the faculty is great and very helpful, and there are lots of activities and events held on campus that you should take part in to understand the industry better. Make sure you're ready to put in the work and hours to really make the most of your course. But also make sure you maintain a work-life balance because Amsterdam is a great place to get to know yourself and develop as a person.

Good student life manageable with academics.
Tips: I am very satisfied with the university. There are fewer contact hours than I expected so there is a lot of pressure to complete things on your own. There are no scholarships available. Renting a bike is the most cost-effective method of travelling throughout the city.

UvA is a very good research focused uni for AI with amazing profs and top notch course material.
Tips: Very good transition. Felt positive cultural shift. Your opinion is valued irrespective of your gender or race. UvA is very research-focused. With really hardworking students and professors. I love it here. Scholarship for UvA might be competitive and you require a good research profile for it.
Likes (Safety): Safety is not an issue at all. Amsterdam is generally an open welcoming city. And in university too you shall feel safe and accepted. Nobody treats you differently or in a racist manner. You are exposed to people from different backgrounds and cultures.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Qualcomm, Booking. Com, ABN Amro, ING. are some of the places we get recruitment. Job roles such as machine learning engineer, data scientist. Package - 3k to 7k euros per month. Thesis fair is a good way to get connected to the industry. Good socially focused startups are there too. You can apply to companies outside Netherlands too.

Great experience. Unique courses, fast paced, difficult but worthwhile.
Tips: There is always a cultural shift moving abroad but it was better here since it is such a diverse city and language barriers are minimal. Education level is higher and fast-paced than expected. Lots of learning and a great city to be living in according to me.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): You get an orientation year visa after completing your Masters to look for a job and once you do get one, you have the option of getting a PR within 5 years of living in the Netherlands. And 2-4 years post that, you can apply for citizenship in the country.
Dislikes (Part time work): Limited options on campus. There are multiple options off campus though, depending on your requirements/class timings etc. it is manageable to do it over the weekends. Tougher in the week but depends on the course. The average payout would be 12-14 euros an hour.

It is an amazing University, but Amsterdam is not so great to live in!
Tips: It is hard living alone in Amsterdam, more than the pressure from the University, the municipality and the cultural differences are vast. Like there are a lot of taxes that you would have to pay even though you are an international student. There are no on-campus houses, it is all off-campus but UvA helps you to get a house only for the first year. Earning from part time is a must, since living cost is extremely high.
Likes (Public transportation): The law school campus is in the middle of the city with both Tram and Metro connectivity. Still, bike (bicycle) is the preferred mode of transportation for all students. Public transport is a little costly, but still, there are options provided by the GVB (Public transport company) to reduce the cost, which works like a subscription plan.
Dislikes (Internships): The internship board of UvA doesn't provide with much options for non-dutch speakers, and the job market is very strict towards Dutch language proficiency despite the fact that there are many MNCs and English-speaking work environment. The internships for law are very less.

Studying at UvA - Challenging yet rewarding
Tips: The UvA administration can be a bit lax so it can get frustrating at times but in the end, getting into the university and studying in Amsterdam is worth it. The education is top-notch and challenging. The culture is quite different from Indian universities. One is tested every week in the form of assignments and every month through exams. It is common to spend hours in the library with classmates and preparing assignments but if time is managed properly, it is possible to have fun too. I have learnt a great deal about time management after coming here. The economics course is very practical and challenging. Each assignment was designed in a way that challenged the students to think out of the box and was really rewarding.
Likes (Safety): Netherlands is a very safe country, for girls as well. The crime rate is quite low compared to other European countries. The student housing is pretty safe. I bike back home at 2-3 a.m. at night confidently. People and the Police in this country are also very helpful.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): One has to wait for 5 years to get permanent residence and also give the Dutch language exam. Hence, it might not be ideal for some people. The chances of permanent settlement after completing five years and taking the exam are not difficult at all. I would consider it.

Academic excellence and challenges: UvA experience
Tips: The University of Amsterdam is one of the premier institutes not only within the Netherlands but also throughout the European Union. However, it's worth noting that the country, and particularly Amsterdam has a significant housing shortage. Securing affordable accommodation can be very challenging. Nevertheless, the academic experience is great and all the courses are well-designed and offer a challenging environment. The student life at Amsterdam is terrific and the University is situated in close proximity to the central region making it accessible to all that Amsterdam has to offer.
