Cloud Computing MSc - Batch of 2025

Student life is great and there are many educational events that are engaging.
Tips: Students should do deep research before coming to the University of Leicester. They should make sure that they are selecting the correct accommodation for their stay. The faculty are very accessible and helpful. However, I think the faculty should have group discussions every week with all the students to find out if anyone is having any problems. Otherwise, all the staff is very knowledgeable and helps students. I am very satisfied with my University and would recommend it to anyone considering studying here.
Likes (Post study jobs): I feel like the student life at this university is very happening. There are many opportunities for students to help other people. The student body is very diverse, and I have met students from all ethnicities. The volunteers are very helpful.

Average college with strict rules.
Tips: The transition was super easy. It's mostly cloudy or night every day depending on the season. Consider this university only if you are serious about studying. All the assignments are on a level of a mini-project so it would not be easy. There are no part-time jobs at the university, so you'll have to find one in Leicester or elsewhere as it mostly depends on the season. If you start in January, it will be difficult to find a part-time job for at least five or six months. Even if you do find a job, it will likely be a short-term contract position that might not be renewed. The average salary for these positions is the minimum wage of 11.44 per hour.
Likes (Indian Food): You will get everything that you find in India for sure. We have Indian grocery stores over here but it is better to get from India in case it could be expensive if you don't have a part-time job, so get as much stuff as possible.

Amazing life with great academics.
Tips: Before joining this college, students should be aware of the academic programs and modules, aware of basic programming and plagiarism awareness. Students should have a good friend circle that can help them with studies, part-time jobs, professional job hunts, activities, extracurricular activities, and food preparation.
Likes (Safety): I have lived near campus and so have my friends, and it is an incredibly safe area, especially in the LE2 postcode. However, it can vary depending on the area and your landlord. I highly recommend students find private accommodation or go with university accommodation, as agency accommodation is more expensive and students may have difficulty getting their deposit back due to a lack of understanding of household responsibilities.
Dislikes (Part time work): Before the Russia-Ukraine war, part-time jobs were plentiful. However, you can still get a part-time job within 40 days. There are opportunities in restaurants, stores, warehouses, and tutoring. These jobs can help you develop transferable skills, such as communication and explaining things to non-experts.

Master of Engineering Management with Industry - Batch of 2022
4.7
University of Leicester is one of the top 30 Universities in UK.
Tips: The course structure at the University of Leicester is amazing, but having prior work experience is a plus for this particular course. I received a scholarship of 5000 Pounds, which helped offset the cost of tuition. The weather in the UK can be depressing, but the university itself is worth it.
Likes (Indian Food): Leicester has some of the best Indian food you can get in the UK for a very reasonable rate. But it won't be the exact same as you get back in India, so, I mostly cooked my own meals when I didn't have classes. During classes, I used to get takeouts.
Dislikes (Internships): Internship opportunities were less but the support was good. There are job fairs arranged at the University and it is a good opportunity to connect with people, but other than that I didn't find any internship opportunities as such. The college provides support for resume checking, interview preparation and even essay writing.

The University of Leicester is a good university with supportive faculty.
Tips: Students should know that this city and the university are good places to be in. The atmosphere here is good and the teaching in the university is also excellent. But one thing to keep in mind is that people in the university won't spoon-feed you anything. It is your responsibility to get stuff and doubts cleared and do extra work for a better understanding.
Likes (Safety): Leicester is a very safe city, and the crime rate is also very low. Since I arrived, I have not heard of anything untoward happening to anyone in the vicinity of my home. So, this makes me feel it is a safe city in comparison to London or other big cities. Also, the cost of living is cheaper as compared to other cities.
Dislikes (Part time work): It is tough to find a part-time job during the main term-time. You will need to go to a lot of places to find a job and have to wait a minimum of 2 to 3 months to get a part-time. If you have some friends working somewhere then it is easier to get a job.

Empowering excellence: A world-class education.
Tips: Before joining the University of Leicester, students should research the course curriculum and faculty expertise, check scholarship opportunities and eligibility criteria, familiarize themselves with UK culture and living costs, and prepare for independent learning and self-motivation. After joining, I experienced a smooth transition, thanks to the university's welcoming atmosphere. Coming from a diverse cultural background, I appreciated Leicester's inclusive environment. The international student community helped me connect with like-minded individuals. Adapting to UK culture was relatively easy, with some notable differences: independent learning style, direct communication, and multicultural interactions. I availed the University of Leicester's International Scholarship 32,500/year. To apply students should: 1. Meet academic requirements 2. Submit a strong personal statement 3. Demonstrate English proficiency IELTS/TOEFL). Overall, I am quite satisfied with the course, country and university.

University of Leicester provides great curriculum that it relevant to the industry.
Tips: The campus is located in a vibrant city known for its rich history and cultural diversity. Prospective students should also know that the university places a strong emphasis on research and offers numerous opportunities for student involvement in various projects and societies. Transitioning to the University of Leicester can be both exciting and challenging. The cultural shift can be significant, especially for international students, who might experience differences in social norms, language, and daily routine. The university offers support services, including orientation programs and student support centres, to help ease this transition. The University of Leicester offers various scholarships and financial aid options for both domestic and international students. Scholarships are typically awarded based on academic merit, financial need, or specific criteria related to the student's course of study. Students can apply for scholarships through the university's official website or financial aid office.
Likes (Indian Food): I live in Leicester, where half the population is Indian, and there are many Indian restaurants in the area. This makes it easy to eat the food of my home country while living abroad. However, as a student, I usually prefer to cook for myself to save money.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There aren't many jobs available for international students, even though there are a lot of vacancies in the tech roles. The reason is that it costs the company a bit more to hire an international student, and the companies' first priority is to hire British citizens. The government puts pressure on companies to hire British citizens first, so it's hard for international students to get hired.

Exciting, prosperous and interesting.
Tips: I think students should accept the change in order to survive alone, far from home and with expenses all the positives leaving the negatives behind. There is not much cultural change as Leicester is a smaller India all people here are mostly Punjabis and Gujaratis. So, it's quite easy for you if you are Indian. I have availed myself of a 5000 scholarship that I got from the University of Leicester based on my Bachelor's degree. I think I'm 70% satisfied with everything the university, city and country have provided, the rest 30% is for jobs and countries economy.
Likes (Safety): I think Leicester is one of the safest cities in the United Kingdom because there are always people around. There are few quiet places because many Indians live in Leicester. During Indian festivals, there are exciting and authentic celebrations that everyone can take part in.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are definitely jobs out there, but many of the good ones need Security clearance (SC), which you can only get after living for 5 years in the UK. On the bright side, UK still has a lot of opportunities compared to other countries. There's the typical path for fresh graduates. You can apply for a graduate visa, and then apply for graduate roles twice or thrice during this period. If you do well in companies they might sponsor you for 3 more years. So it might take 5 years for all this, wherein you can better jobs after this as well. It's tougher for people with work experience since the local government is pushing the talents that are available locally inside the country first and the UK market is down economically which makes it competitive to find jobs.

The quality of education provided is very good.
Tips: The University of Leicester is one of the top 30 universities in the UK. It is located in Leicester, England, which is about 100 miles from London. The campus is very large, and students come from all over the world. The university offers a two-year industry course, and it also offers scholarships.
Likes (Internships): After working in a corporate job for two years, I'm back in school. I'm really enjoying being a student again. I love going to university every day and socializing with people from all over the world. I'm really enjoying the different vibe of being in the UK.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty at Leicester University are very good at responding to student queries. They are accessible and approachable, and they respond to every email. The diversity of teaching is very good, and they are very advanced in all technology. They not only teach theory, but they also help us practice in the labs.

A way to get Masters certificate, nothing else.
Tips: 1. There's a cultural shift but it depends on the student. A student moved to a different country, so they should be accepting of the cultural shift and have a broader mindset. 2. I got the scholarship from Uni, but apparently everybody does. 3. With the University I am not so much satisfied but yes a way to get Masters in education. For the course, not so much from this University but if you learn it yourself and improve your skills, you can do wonders. The country is good as of now, a little expensive, and many are struggling with the cost of living, but still have a pleasant lifestyle.
Likes (Indian Food): Leicester has some great Indian food restaurants and the prices are fine compared to the UK. You have lots of different cuisines to eat too. But groceries aren't that expensive compared to outside food and other countries so, as a student, it's recommended to cook most of the time.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty aren't that helpful to the students. They sometimes lack the skills and stumble if asked questions outside of the courses on the same subject matter. They also tend to think in a very narrow perspective about the assignments and are not open to a wider variety of options.

The people are friendly here and you can reach out to the faculty in case of any query. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Being independent is important to survive.
Tips: 1. Learn to be independent and start taking care of ourselves as there won't be our parents to be there for each and every small thing. Life will play with you as much as it can. But we will learn from it and become strong and independent. Moving away from your parents and needing to take care of each and everything and none of the people care about you. Friends will become your family. 2. It depends on IELTS cut off , I got 6.5 overall and they have given me a 3000 pounds scholarship and reduced my overall fee. 3. It was a good experience on a count of 10 my rating would be 7.5
Likes (Permanent Immigration): It all depends on how you get a job after your studies and how seriously you apply for the jobs, To my knowledge all my friends have secured a job with a good package and are being sponsored. Once you get a sponsored job within 5 years you will be given indefinite leave to remain. All I can tell students is to work hard for one or two years and secure a job. I would love to stay here as the pay is good but the expenses all will be equal to the amount that we earn. But for people who miss family is a bit difficult to survive but for people who like travelling or looking forward to settling is a good option as we get to know the purpose of life and can learn how to work and be independent as an individual.
Dislikes (Public transportation): As I have stayed in private accommodation which is 20 min walk from the university, public transportation is not a big concern for me as I used to walk and go to the university. But when we want to get groceries or anything from the city centre, it's a big deal as we need to walk and go with all the weight that needs to be carried all the way. We have public transport in Leicester but there are many company buses which need to be changed and charge more for each and every bus we board and overall day rate used be around 6-7 pounds which is way too much for the students to spend every day around 7 pounds as we only work 20 hours a day and our hour pay is 10 pounds an hour which makes us difficult to spend more on the public transport.

Interactive, social and high supported university life as a student in London.
Tips: Joining City has been a smooth transition from high school. I have found the university to be quite supportive when it comes to the different facts of student life in London. I did not avail of any scholarships as I applied through Clearing. However, the City does have academic scholarships for post-final exams wherein a certain part of tuition is cut off if you are within 10% of the highest scores. I have enjoyed my journey at City and London both. It has been a life-changing experience which I can positively say would have a great impact on my life in times to come.

Satisfied - worth the money
Tips: There are a lot of Indian students, so no big cultural shift. There was one scholarship from the university of 2000 pounds which was provided to most of the international students. Very satisfied with the university - better than many higher rank universities at various levels. We get good support from the university.
Likes (Indian Food): It is very easy to get access to Indian vegetables and groceries within London. Though there are a lot of Indian restaurants, the cost of living in London is so high that it is not affordable to eat outside regularly. Cooking is a must - you may eat outside once or twice a week.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): At present, the job market is not that great in the UK where the demand is less while the competition is so high. Especially it is very difficult to get a job with sponsorship. India seems to thrive better. There is a 50% chance for me to settle permanently in this country.
