The best experience for a student.

Tips: There definitely was a cultural shift for me. But nothing most people can't handle. It took me a while to learn certain things that India didn't teach us. I got a commonwealth scholarship of 2000 pounds. About the university, the infrastructure and technology blew my mind. It is the perfect place to study.

Likes (Safety): Birmingham is a very safe city. Even through the night it is mostly alive. One thing to keep in mind is to avoid the canals. In the year and a half that I lived there, I did not have any bad experience. As long as we don't go out of line, I'd say we will have no trouble.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): They have no placement drives like the ones we have in India. We have to look for jobs ourselves. Given that the UK is in a recession, it is very difficult to find jobs in the country. They prefer hiring a fresher who is from the UK or EU rather than someone for whom they would have to sponsor a visa.

MSc in Management (Entrepreneurship & Innovation Pathway) - Batch of 2024

Offered by University of Birmingham

3.6

University of Birmingham lets us explore our potential for a life-changing experience.

Tips: There are many cultural shifts once you arrive here in the UK. Coming here is one thing and starting living and sustaining here is another thing, From managing studies, and exam pressure to financial hurdles, and homesickness an individual has their journey uniquely. In the UK, people tend to be more individuals and have fewer family links and social organisations. India's culture is more closer and conservative than Britain's. No, I did not avail of any scholarships, though advised to apply for them as quickly as possible. I am quite satisfied with the university, programme and country. We just need to stay focused and keep working hard until we find some good full-time opportunity.

Likes (Student Life): A typical day starts early in the morning, getting ready for either a lecture to attend or a sports session such as swimming, badminton, basketball, gym or tennis etc. Then after coming back, prepare food for lunch and evening, then study and go to sleep after some fun time with friends. The most enjoyable thing that I used to do in my college life was going to play sports and get myself involved in activities such as fitness and sports. There are diverse events organised by various societies under the Guild of Students, ranging from cultural fests to simple events on going on campus or student accommodation. I used to participate as maximum as possible if I had spare time to socialize and have fun in those events. Student clubs are there for all types of interests, academic programs, backgrounds, nationalities, religious beliefs, etc. Such as business societies, photography, gaming, Hindu, Islamic, and Sikh societies, International Students Club, volunteering and UNICEF communities, dance clubs, etc.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The only opportunities for students available on campus are Career Fair, where recruiters and companies visit campus and interact with the students directly. Very few sponsor visas, for the rest, students have to take up graduate visa route on their own. Most of the roles are for freshers such as graduate scheme roles, graduate management or trainee, financial auditor, etc. The starting average annual salary is 30,000 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.

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.

Public Health MPH - Batch of 2024

Offered by University of Birmingham

2.9

An academic oriented university with engaging workshops and career fair going around the year.

Tips: Before joining the University of Birmingham, students should know its emphasis on research-led teaching, diversity, and active campus life. Be prepared for independent learning and take advantage of Birmingham's professional opportunities and vibrant city life for holistic growth.

Likes (Public transportation): Birmingham is the second largest city in the UK. The city council gives 100 percent in maintaining the transportation facilities. We have a university station stop which is loaded on the campus which makes it easier to connect from different parts of Birmingham as well as other cities.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Public health has minimal visa-sponsored job opportunities and being in a highly competitive region makes it even harder to get a sponsored job in this field. Though there are various scopes of jobs in this field it can be broadly classified into the public health practice side and the research side. Both the side has its own positive and negative. I would prefer to settle in the country if I get a visa sponsorship.
