Imperial College - A great college for international students.
Tips: There's a sizable Indian community here, so you will never feel alone, and the cultural shift will be very manageable. Everyone is really friendly and helpful too. I'm not sure how many scholarships there are for international students, apart from ones for exceptional performance in the admissions process. I am very satisfied with my course and university, and the country as a whole.
Likes (Indian Food): There's a shop very close to the South Kensington campus called Chaiwala, where you can find a lot of Indian food. The prices are a little bit high as this is London, but it's quite a nice quality. Most people have student accommodation at a place called North Action, where there are a lot more options for Indian food too.
Dislikes (Part time work): You can find lots of opportunities for part-time work, with the most common job being tutoring. Tutoring is probably the best job due to the flexibility and the pay available, but other jobs like being a waiter/waitress, bartender, or shop assistant are easily found. It is tough to balance work with studies, especially at Imperial, but it is certainly possible with dedication and discipline.

The reality of UK colleges and job market.
Tips: It's not just about my college, Imperial College London, which is no. 1 in the UK, but about joining any tier 1 college, may it be Oxford, Cambridge, LBS, etc. Students should know the following: 1) Your job hunt starts in the month of September for Fall intake students. 2) You would mostly be eligible for graduate jobs meant for MSc students, usually students with less than 4 years of experience. 3) Job hunting predominantly lies in your hands, while college could assist when explicitly asked for, however, you are pretty much on your own. 4) Aim to secure a job within 3 to 4 months of your joining the college. So, if your college starts in September, ideally, you could secure a full-time graduate job by October to November end. 5) Prepare well in advance for assessment tests for graduate jobs, you pretty much cannot avoid that. Maybe 1 in 50 jobs will not have a test, the rest do. Assessment tests could be psychometric, quants, qualitative, deductions, gaming simulation, etc. 
Likes (Public transportation): London is known for its public transportation and it's not just hyped but it is actually well connected whether it's tube, bus, overground, train, tram, etc. The transport is reasonable, smooth and well connected even if you are living away from central London. Student passes also help with the overall transport.
Dislikes (Value for money): Tuition fees are higher for tier 1 colleges as well, and the chances of getting a better job are higher, however, your chances do not increase as much as your fees do. The average salary is 30,000 pounds per annum, which does not change just because your college is better.

Life and academics as a masters student at Imperial college London is satisfying.
Tips: The college has a great reputation and alumni network. The course is one of the most popular courses offered by Imperial College. It offers great placement opportunities which drove my attention. Although, as an oversea student, there might be some minor problems with the changed environment. But, the people at the college are quite welcoming.

Diverse and culturally rich university with a lot of internal opportunities.
Tips: The University of Manchester is a diverse and culturally rich university with a lot of internal opportunities. The course content is good and designed for students with at least a year or two of experience in the field of study. The university is recognized globally and has a good reputation. Student diversity is above 90%. Different types of scholarships are available so students can apply for international scholarships.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The quality of teaching and the professors at this university are fabulous. The professors are very experienced in their subject of teaching. They are from different countries and have studied at top-tier universities. They also have ground-level experience in their fields. In addition, the faculty is very helpful and provides support for assignments.
Dislikes (Internships): The university does not provide internships. You have to find one on your own time outside of study hours. Also, it is difficult to manage a part-time job, your classes, assignments, and coursework because the courses are intense and you have classes three to four days a week.

Good college with amazing experience.
Tips: I was awarded a scholarship that provided a tuition discount. I applied for the scholarship online, and the process was straightforward. There were some cultural adjustments, but the large Indian population made the transition easier. I am very satisfied with the University of Manchester, the course I took, and the country itself.
Likes (Public transportation): The city is well connected by bus and trams and has multiple railway stations. Cabs are also easily available. The campus is in the centre of the city, so it is well-connected. It is also a walking distance from the city centre. Public transport is very affordable and they offer passes too.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It all depends on whether you've got a job or not, and whether the company wants to sponsor a visa or not. The chances of permanent settlement are pretty slim as of now given the global scenario and slim job market. But if given a chance, I would like to settle in the UK, barring some cities.

A break from the corporate world with preparation for the real world.
Tips: There definitely is a cultural shift here that we face, and it is much better than home so it won't be an issue settling down. We should be prepared for the hard work. The university rankings matter but not a lot, so you are mostly on your own. There is no placement department or anything like that, so we are ourselves responsible for job hunting and everything, and as in every other country, it's not that easy to get a job. 
Likes (Student Life): The college community/student union has a lot of activities planned throughout the year, which really helps us lay off some streams from all the studies. Festivals, especially big ones like Diwali/Holi, are a lot of fun as all students get together and have fun. Student clubs are fun, but I wasn't able to participate a lot given the course structure and assignments. 
Dislikes (Part time work): There are part-time options available, but the course is a little tiring, which leaves very few windows for working. Having said that, there is a lot of competition given the number of students and dependents, so it is also hard to get a part-time job. Also, because of this competition, employers, specifically restaurants, exploit the students by paying them cash in hand, which is much lower than the minimum wage. But yes, I have a few friends who got a good part-time job, but such examples are pretty low.

Lots of opportunities available for career growth and development.
Tips: Student should be clear about the course modules of their chosen programme. They should book the accommodation well in advance before coming to the city to avoid any last minutes inconveniences. They should check for various scholarships and apply on priority basis. They should be in touch with Indian Society of Manchester which organises social meetings for upcoming students.
Likes (Indian Food): Manchester offers a wide variety of cuisines, particularly South Asian cuisines. Its super convenient with regards to food as the city offer cuisines, snacks and local food items for their daily life style. Manchester has so many interesting cafes to visit which adds so much value to your student life experience.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): In the UK permanent immigration and settlement options are quite difficult due to government policies. The company hiring you as an employee needs to sponsor your visa which is an expensive and lengthy process for the company. However, if a student manages to get a job in the UK it is considered a better option as the lifestyle, career growth and future opportunities there are better than India.

Self-study is required and don't be distracted with part-time.
Tips: Do not get too caught up in doing part-time jobs and pushing education as a second priority. It is best to do some saving before moving to the UK as, although Manchester is a relatively cheaper city, you will end up spending a lot more than expected. The university also expects students to do a lot of self-study both pre and post lectures. Ask questions to the lecturers as they are often very willing to solve your queries. And always remember that you belong.
Likes (Student Life): Manchester is a vibrant city and extremely student centric thanks to 3 universities in the city. There is always plenty to do on and off campus. There is also a very wide variety of student clubs to join. Ensure that you are enrolled in the university mailing list to get updates on what's happening around campus during the week. You will never have a dull time in Manchester.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent settlement depends on companies willing to sponsor work visas. The university has no role unless for jobs in the university itself. Companies are usually hesitant as they need to justify the business decision to sponsor. Although difficult, I have had many friends who are sponsored and you will get a work permit if you persevere.

The university experience was quite good. Stressful but good.
Tips: The syllabus is quite manageable, however the exams are really very difficult and can really test your perseverance. The written exams cannot be passed just by rote learning or by studying at the last moment. Even the course works require a lot of brainstorming.
Likes (Public transportation): The university is situated on Oxford Street in Manchester which has the busiest bus route in the UK. It is also a very walkable city and you probably won't have to use transportation at all. I didn't have to spend anything to travel to university as I walked to and from my lectures.
Dislikes (Internships): The course was one year and the university did nothing to encourage participation in internships. The university could have set aside a few months dedicated to doing an internship which would have helped in securing a job for most students. Additionally, fewer written papers would have ensured more practical learning.

The best decision of my life! Hard work pays off here.
Tips: I come from India, which is why moving to the UK was a huge change. I have been to the UK several times in the past but living here is a completely different ball game. I went from really going to eat out at 1 am sometimes to having to cook my own meals 3 times a day. The food is different, the people are different, the weather is different but what remains the same is the feeling of being at home because 1.5 years into my course, Manches does indeed feel like home. Anyway, so I got a global future scholarship which I had applied to while I applied to the university. The allowance was 5000 pounds for year one and year 2 and I had to meet certain criteria to continue the scholarship. In essence, coming to the University of Manchester was the best decision of my life, and psychology, although challenging is very intriguing. UK really treats you well if you can handle the weather and trust me, you get used to it.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The school of Health Sciences is the biggest school in the university, which also makes me think is the reason why the faculty is so quick to resolve issues (2-3 working days). The professors all have PhDs and are very sweet in addition to making lectures really easy to understand and further making the lecture slides very accessible. We have seminars, lab classes and career counselling opportunities that are very interactive and helpful. My professors come from all over the world. The faculty is very diverse and the university is very inclusive.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The UK is currently under recession, so I'd say it's not the best idea to live here, plus there's always some sort of strike, again not the best thing. Lastly, getting a skilled worker visa or any sort of visa itself is difficult in the UK. However, the people here are lovely, the culture is amazing and if you love studying and a lot of socialising, UK is the place for you!

Extremely satisfied with my experience here.
Tips: 1. I did not experience a massive culture shift. The people in Manchester are warm and friendly. However, the weather is often not very good as it rains quite a lot and remains gloomy. 2. I did get the Global Future Scholarship from the University of Manchester. I would advice students to apply as soon as they receive the invitation to apply for the scholarship post their receipt of the offer letter from the University. 3. I am extremely satisfied with my course LL.M. Intellectual Property at the University of Manchester.
Likes (Student Life): Student life at the University is absolutely great. The classrooms are spacious and equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The libraries are huge, with an impressive collection of books (including rare editions), online resources, research tools, etc., making them a great study and research destination. In addition to studies, lots of activities are organized by different clubs and societies of the University. One can never get bored. Most importantly, the teaching staff of this University is extremely knowledgeable and very cooperative. They are always eager to help and ensure that a student is comfortable with the modules that are being delivered. I absolutely enjoy being a student of this esteemed University and would never trade this experience for anything else.
Dislikes (Indian Food): In Manchester, there are numerous places to have Indian Food. However, it is quite expensive (eg Chicken Biryani can be around 15 GBP) and in most of the places, more expensive. However, the restaurants named Indian Tiffin Room and My Lahore are absolutely great! These places will not disappoint you! Having said that, I prefer cooking at home as it save money and gives me a chance to get creative!

Think before you go, connect with people and get to hear the real journey
Tips: For my degree, I felt like it was an extension of my bachelor’s nothing new that I could learn massively to improve my skill set provided the money I had spent. I don’t think I was satisfied at all because the struggle throughout was really very difficult to cope with.
Likes (Public transportation): It’s well connected with cabs, trams and buses all across. There wasn’t any issue with commuting at all. It’s just very expensive to travel but as a student, you get discounts on travelling too so not a major reason. Rest assured you wouldn’t face an issue with this.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are very less jobs available who sponsor you and more than that you need exceptional skills to actually get a job. Even if you have PSW you need to be on top of your application game. So don’t just come directly after your bachelor’s take some experience and then come if you have long-term goals of settling.

AMBS failed to live up to its brand. Horrible cohort and curriculum. Wont recommend.
Tips: Research the modules well. MIM as a course has few opportunities in UK. Do a specialized Master. MIM more suitable for people willing to get into technology roles. MIM at AMBS is a waste. Please don't do it. Far better options are available. Do a specialized Master.

Likes (Part time work): Abundant opportunities are available for part-time work. There are plenty within the university as well as outside. Most places that offer full-time roles also offer part-time roles making it easier to make money when you're here as a student and on a stiff budget.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): It's a relatively difficult situation to comment on at the moment, especially given the global recession and the way the job market is right now. The competition for the few jobs that do exist is becoming more and more stiff, making it difficult. Visa sponsorship is difficult to find as well at the moment.

College experience at the University of Manchester with warm and friendly environment.
Tips: Before joining the University of Manchester, prospective students should research the competitive entry requirements and familiarize themselves with the specific course details, including the grade expectations for the program they are interested in. International students should also be aware that they may need to take an English language proficiency test, such as the IELTS, to demonstrate their English language skills. Finally, students should explore the support services available on campus for academics and wellbeing. These services can provide assistance with course selection, course load, study skills, and other academic concerns. They can also provide support for mental health and well-being, which can be especially important for students who are adjusting to life in a new country.
Likes (Post study jobs): The Graduate visa is relatively new and unfamiliar to some employers. Employers who want to invest in their staff over the long term may prefer the longer time period covered by the Skilled Worker Visa. Employers' preferences can differ for several reasons, so you should talk to each employer about their approach to visas. This will give you an insight into the differences between the Graduate and Skilled Worker visas.

My 2 years of experience in Manchester with a lot of ups and downs.
Tips: After coming to the UK, you will definitely see many changes be it people, culture, climate or language everything is different than what you have experienced in India so yes it will be a major change. I didn't get any scholarship. I have tried, but no such luck. Overall, my experience with the university, course and country was good. I learned a lot and experienced a lot of new things so in total my experience was quite good.
Likes (Public transportation): I found Manchester's public transportation system to be very convenient, frequent, and economical. Unless you live far from the city, you won't have any problems getting around. As a student, you'll get huge discounts on bus and tram passes, which makes tickets even cheaper.
Dislikes (Part time work): Right now the UK job market is stagnant with not many jobs especially if you are a fresher that's the same case with on-campus part-time jobs. It is very competitive and employers prefer individuals with experience. However, if you are open to working in the the food and beverage sector, chances are comparatively better, but you still have to spend a good amount of time in part-time job hunting and be prepared for the challenges. I can't guarantee this for every course but for my course, it was quite manageable by working part-time you will be financially independent and if you can manage your time properly then both work and study will be a piece of cake. As a student in the UK, you are legally allowed to work only for 20 hours with minimum wages which is plenty to cover your personal expenses.

Navigating studies, job and life in the UK
Tips: Firstly, I would like to tell is there is a new life waiting for you which means : 1. You have to do all things by yourself. As compared to Indian colleges/universities, we prepare our food i.e. breakfast, lunch and dinner and we buy our food, we manage every small chore by ourselves. This is looking more challenging but it teaches independence and it's a must. 2. Don't expect teachers to spoon-feed you, teachers clarify concepts but for small intricacies for small doubts, they do so only when asked. They don't spoon-feed. Be prepared with the slide system of study rather than dictation or even chalk and talk method. 3. Exams are more fun and not mugging or cramming although it may differ from course to course. 4. Jobs and post-study jobs are always on your own. Although university helps but a large amount of effort you have to do on your own and it is very important to make a network of seniors on LinkedIn or other social platforms which may help find jobs after study. 5. Jobs are scarce and hence develop some skills like software skills, and technological skills to beat the competition. 6. As soon as you land in the UK, after 3-4 months start applying for applications in the job sector (which I mean full time), this is so because job interviews are on a roll and hence there is no fixed time, unlike India where campus placement takes place.
Likes (Public transportation): Manchester is a well connected city. It has the buses, the trams as well as private transportation and that too Uber and other services. It is literally the best city as per my experience with proper traffic lighting to avoid jams and congestion. It has also a good night transportation which connects almost every important place in the city.
Dislikes (Part time work): The course was very overwhelming. It used to consume a lot of time to understand. The good or bad part of studying abroad is everything you have to read or do on your own. The teacher would try to come and sum up the slides. He or she will not spoon-feed as done in the Indian universities. However, there were some courses in my university where the books were not fixed they were definitely defined at the start of the course but there was not one text book as it is in Indian universities. This created a lot of academic stress and less time on part-time work (for my course in engineering). The average payout was around £10 per hour which was pretty good in campus and out campus as well. Work was available in plenty however, no time to work was most of the complaints by the engineering students who also cared about grades.
