Queen Mary University of London is good with great academics.

Tips: Academics here are challenging, so understanding your course will help. The workload is intense but rewarding, with strong support services, including academic help and mental health resources. Living in London can be costly, so budgeting is crucial. Many students choose on-campus or nearby housing to manage expenses. QMUL has excellent networking opportunities through career events and workshops, which can help secure internships or job placements. For international students, scholarships are available. Some may cover part or all of the tuition and even provide living allowances. Apply early, as it's competitive. Adjusting to life in London's multicultural environment may feel like a cultural shift, especially if you're from abroad, but engaging with different people and campus activities ease the transition. Overall, QMUL offers a supportive and inclusive environment that most students find rewarding- your experience will largely depend on how you engage and explore.

Adapting to a competitive and culturally diverse university experience.

Tips: Before joining this college, students should know that the academic environment is competitive, and on-campus resources are essential for success. Adjusting to the new cultural norms can be challenging, especially in communication style and socializing. I applied for a merit-based scholarship that provided partial tuition. Overall, I am satisfied with the university course and country, but adjusting took time. The educational quality is high, but managing costs and cultural differences can be tough.

Likes (Post study jobs): I read 4 for post-study jobs as soft companies offer decent opportunities including those that sponsor shipwalk visas though availability varies by field job roles are typically in engineering and business with average starting salaries regarding from 30 to 35K per year.

Dislikes (Part time work): I rated three because while part-time opportunities are available on campus they can be limited and competitive. Off-campus jobs are harder to secure for international students as balancing work and academics is challenging and the average pay is moderate around 10 to 15 pounds.

Overrated with respect to value for the tuition fees being charged.

Tips: There was a drastic cultural shift and it came as a shock and it took me around 6 months to cope up. There was an immense scholarship I could avail and was eligible but wasn't aware. I am not that satisfied with the university as my course was very theoretical and lacked teaching basic financial skills required in the corporate world. The United Kingdom a country was a desired destination to study but over the period it has overcrowded there are very less job opportunities and requires extreme time and energy to land a job that another ideal country wouldn't require.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is amazing and is very well connected. The university is just outside of zone 1 of London and otherwise in core London so its very well connected transport-wise. For an immigrant, it might be expensive but surely value for money as it is 24 X 7 available.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It is a mature market to look out for jobs. The market is filled with over applicants and one does not even get a chance to interview. Mostly the students out here come directly after graduation so the quality of students is also not quite great as they are less industry-experienced. The demographics of the classroom are quite less diverse in tier 2 and below colleges as most of the students are either Indians or Chinese. Investing 20-25 Lacks here and then going back to the country is a very bad investment because in return you are not getting anything fruitful except for the experience of living abroad.

Best Russell Group University.

Tips: There is nothing to worry about while joining QMUL, as you'll be provided with everything. They provide you with an email account where they send all the important information. You just have to keep a lookout on your email. Everything is quite easy to do. The faculty is warm, friendly, understanding and will help you any time. Public transportation is easily accessible and convenient to use. I am satisfied with my experiences.

2.5

Transformative experience with academic growth and new culture.

Tips: Transitioning from India to London was challenging at first, mainly due to weather changes, no good food availability and difficulty travelling, come to classes in the morning during November - December time due to very bad weather. Even finding part time jobs has been a tedious task in the UK.

Dislikes (Indian Food): I'm disappointed with the food options here. The food is very bland, and there aren't any spicy dishes that I like. If you want to eat well, you'll need to cook for yourself. Even the groceries are expensive, especially in London. If you go to the outskirts of London, the prices are better. There are a few coffee shops on campus, but they're expensive too. If you're looking for a good deal, check out the meal deals at Tesco or Sainsbury.
