MSc in Data Science and its Applications - Batch of 2025
2.3
University of Essex is good. Part-time is less.
Tips: There are no part-time jobs, students are living in London for their part-time job.
Students should come here with some prior knowledge.
Don't take exams slightly.
If you love nature then Essex is the best place to live in.
If you really want to study then University of Essex is good, but if you want to do more things along with your studies then go somewhere near London.

Great academic support online and offline.
Tips: Take a Forex card before coming here. It's very helpful. Getting your BRP, a sim card, and a bank account here, should be the first things you do after arriving here. Learn some basic cooking, otherwise you will end up spending a lot more money on food.

Academic rigor and cultural exploration
Tips: Have no preconceived notions about the country and the people. Do not focus on making Indian friends but make friends with people from different countries and be open to enjoying cultural differences. Spend a of time in the library and stay on campus as it opens more avenues for TA opportunities.
Likes (Safety): The law and order maintenance is really great and the people are really friendly and accommodating to international students. The people don't judge and are very friendly. The student council and faculty are really helpful as well. Also, the environment is very refreshing.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Personally as an Indian, it was different for me to get used to many fast food options so would prefer cooking. Niche ingredients are hard to find as well. Buying food can be really expensive. The flavour profile of the fast food was not to my liking.

A budget ranking university for computer science.
Tips: It is a good university if you’re looking for a budget, ranking and amenities for computer science department. This university is located a bit far away from London which makes it bit hard to travel around in UK. But this gives you the advantage of living on a budget.
Likes (Student Life): This university gives good study exposure, entertainment and affordability in living as it is located a bit far away from the city. As a student, it’s your job to make sure that you make the best out of it by studying and keeping yourself updated for the assignments.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part time work in the university is easy to get but you get only a few hours of work. Hence, you may need to find more part time jobs to support yourself. This I guess is the same for all the universities around. This can be easily compensated by finding a job outside the campus.

Campus and faculty are great at University Of Essex
Tips: Campus and faculty are great. Might have to struggle a bit for relevant work experience so if you can ride that out financially, it’s a good experience. The city is great. Limited options when it comes to hanging out but you can always go to London which isn’t far.
Likes (Indian Food): Plenty of food options in the city and online for Indian/South Asian food. Good takeaway options as well. Might help to learn cooking though as delivery fees are a lot and not something I was used to paying. Other than that, plenty of choices for both Indian and other cuisines.
Dislikes (Part time work): It’s slightly difficult to find part time work relevant to my course (MBA) in Colchester as there’s not much work here. So, the part time options are restaurants or call centers, etc. If you get online, you might find work elsewhere around but you’ll have to spend on transportation then.

For sure, it is a brand. You have to decide what you want from the University.
Tips: I would say, please participate in all the activities that come your way. Also, the academic curriculum is a blend of remote classes and physical classes. It is also very important to do a lot of self study so that you can improve your base. There's a very big library and a study center with computers, use that as much as you can.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is good. There's a very active student union that brings in new events every now and then. Plenty of societies to join and a good campus with loads of facilities. Facilities include a gym, sports center and a huge campus with greenery. There are a couple of restaurants and takeaways too. There are also other shops for daily needs within the campus.
Dislikes (Internships): I have done a masters degree. So, we did not have enough time to do an internship. University does not help much in getting an internship. However, there are websites called careerhub and gradintel wherein even alumni can have access and look for internships and jobs, including part time jobs.
