The university has an amazing campus and well-trained faculties.
Tips: When you're looking for scholarships, it's important to look at the job market in the field you're interested in. If you can get a university-sponsored internship, that would be a great opportunity to gain experience and get paid. Birmingham is a city with multiple universities and a big crowd of students, so it can be difficult to find part-time work, on or off campus. However, if you do land a part-time job, the pay is the minimum wage, which is not bad. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences here.

MSc Business Analytics - Batch of 2024
Offered by University of Birmingham
3.3
University of Birmingham has a beautiful and huge campus.
Tips: The campus is beautiful and there are a lot of activities to do, so you won't feel bored during your initial couple of weeks. After that you get busy with assignments and academics, so you'll spend most of the time going back and forth from the lectures to your accommodation, and part-time work. Like in India, there's not much pressure on studies, which can either be a good or a bad thing. I'm happy with the fact that the university is well-recognised and gives students career guidance. The current job market is tough in the UK to get a job, so only time will tell whether it's worth it or not.
Likes (Safety): Safety can be a matter of different experiences for different people. I never had safety concerns even when walking down the street late at night. Of course, you need to be a bit cautious of your surroundings. The campus does provide an app, and some safety gadgets during the welcome week, as well as a free bus to Sell Oak to travel when it gets dark during winter.
Dislikes (Public transportation): You can travel by train or bus. Buses are usually more connected than trains but are generally late, and it doesn't matter if you check the scheduled time on Google Maps or bus stop, they will make you wait for 15-20 minutes 90% of the time. I also don't think public transport is very affordable. It's 2 pounds for a ticket whether you want to get off at the Next bus stop or after the 15 bus stop. A monthly bus pass is now 49 pounds for students, but they keep increasing the price every year. Last year it was 46 pounds.

Public Health MPH - Batch of 2024
Offered by University of Birmingham
2.7
It provides a solid foundation for public health career.
Tips: Transitioning to the University of Birmingham was both exciting and challenging. The cultural shift was significant, especially coming from a different country. I had to adapt to new social norms, academic expectations, and even the weather. However, the university's welcoming environment and diverse student body made the transition smoother. Engaging in various student activities and societies helped me acclimate and make new friends. I did avail myself of a scholarship. I applied for the University's International Scholarship programme, which required submitting an application form, academic transcripts, and a personal statement. The MPH course was rigorous and well-structured, offering a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The faculty were supportive and always available for guidance. Living in the UK has been a rewarding experience, with its rich history, diverse culture, and numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth. I feel well-prepared for my future career in public health and grateful for the experiences and education I received. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experience at the University of Birmingham.

MSc in Financial Management - Batch of 2024

An amazing experience that needs a closure.
Tips: Students should be open to everything the university has to offer. Embrace the life that comes along with it. It's simple but effective in the long run, and you won't regret it later on. Of course, there will always be things you couldn't be a part of, but that's okay. Cherish the rest of your time there, and you'll look back and cherish it all for sure. I'm pretty satisfied with my time at University College Dublin.
Likes (Part time work): They've got a pretty good system for roles within the university and I'm a recipient of them. If going through the right channel and succeed in your interviews/assessment centres, the opportunities within the university are crazy for part-time. It is quite manageable with your coursework given the fact that you have good time management skills. The average payout is 12/hour.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It's pretty fragile and extremely difficult to obtain sponsorship after the course commences and the Graduate visa is granted. I wouldn't likely want to permanently immigrate here as I've got other preference in life and this country doesn't fulfil them all.

Good university but could do better in terms of the modules.
Tips: The transitioning period was not very difficult. The university had a lot of events to keep everyone engaged and ensure that you fit into the place well. The only extra thought that you have to keep in mind is that you will have to do everything on your own, right from grocery shopping to cooking to finding your own job. I am quite satisfied with the university and the course because I really enjoyed two of the subjects, but I feel like they could improve a lot of other things in terms of the timetable and the modules that were included. It was quite a journey, and I think it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Likes (Indian Food): There are plenty of food options in terms of grocery. Some of the go-to shopping places are Aldi and Sainsbury. Just for an idea, Easy Cook's price is 1 or 1.2 pounds for a kg which is close to 100 rupees. They have their website online so you can look at the pricing there, it is quite accurate. I was lucky enough to have Indian grocery stores around my area. But things like Dal (lentils) are easily available at Sainsbury. Spices are also easily available but I would still recommend taking spices with you as some of them which are cheap in India could be quite expensive here.
Dislikes (Internships): The University of Birmingham provides some guidance for internships through the Birmingham Business School Career Network, but they do not provide direct support. They will help you prepare for an internship, but you will have to find an internship on your own. They have a portal similar to LinkedIn where you can search and apply for internships. The university also offers internships called B-experience internships, which last for about a month. However, these internships are more focused on marketing or operations than finance.
