Tips: My transition has been quite smooth. I did not find too much different from my usual way of living in India. Privacy and politeness are a lot more prevalent in the UK as a whole. I applied to the Think Big Scholarship but was unable to get it. Bristol is the hill, so walks feel like long hikes here, which is quite an enjoyable workout. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my university.

Likes (Value for money): The tuition fees do seem a little on the higher side, but the amenities offered by the University of Bristol are top-notch. So, I feel that it is worth the money. The student societies and unions conduct events almost every day, you can join any sports club you want, you can join their gym, swim and so much more along with studies. Their lecture halls are great, faculty is very experienced with excellent diversity in the student population.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a lot of Indian restaurants with student offers, but the prices are a little too high. For a meal for 1, you generally need to pay at least 20 Pounds. There are a bunch of pubs where you get meal deals for under 10 Pounds, and somewhere you also get free refills of tea and coffee, like Wetherspoons. I prefer to cook myself and eat outside once in a while with friends.

MSc Applied Neuropsychology - Batch of 2024

City of students: Bristol

Tips: Research about your course properly. Few courses are very rigorous and students often drop out mid-semester. There is no concept of placement in any UK university. If applying for any psychology-related course, ensure that your course is BPS registered.

MSc Data Science - Batch of 2023

3.3

Decent education with a hefty price

Tips: There is a cultural shift while moving to a new country as always. Things are done differently compared to back home. Trying to be part of their community help in getting accustomed to the people. No scholarships are provided. University is good overall. Course is good as well. You have the freedom to how deep you want to go in a particular module. Lecturers are smart however they lack lecturing skills. Lecturers who have native language English are good at it.

Likes (Part time work): Both on-campus and off-campus opportunities are good. If your proactive and committed in looking at jobs everywhere you will always find one. University has a lot of jobs on its portals on a daily basis and they pay well. You just need to keep looking till you find one. The basic salary is 10.42.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent settlement chances are limited. You have to be proactive and committed in this process or you won't be able to find one. Recently country policies have been against excessive immigration so thinking it will be easy here will be a bit delusional. Given a chance yes I will immigrate to this country.

Life and study in university of Bristol is good.

Tips: Bristol is an easy-going laidback fun city that makes you forget you're far from home. The course was created to help students from various backgrounds gain a solid understanding of Data Science. Therefore, if you want to study data Science or AI in greater depth there are better universities with better course descriptions, but if you want to transition from a different field to data Science this course will be useful.
