Vibrant campus life, world class faculties and academically enriching experience.

Tips: Students should know how to cook because the takeaway or delivery options are costly. The ready-made food available in stores is also limited option-wise. There are fewer options for vegetarian people. The University, faculty and teaching were up to the mark as I expected. The faculty members were approachable and were always there to help. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Likes (Part time work): Part-time jobs are easy to find. We Indians don't hesitate to put in the work and this is known by the UK employers which is one of the main reasons why Indians can get part-time jobs without difficulty. We just have to look diligently. Plus the pay is also good for the part-time jobs.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Due to changes made in the visa rules for international candidates, it is next to impossible for international students to secure full-time jobs post-graduation. Most of the companies that offer sponsorship hesitate to pay the salary according to the new visa rules.

The college is great with amazing campus facilities.

Tips: Before joining any college, it is important to research the quality of the course, the expertise of the faculty, and the career opportunities provided by the college. It is equally important to understand the campus culture, the extracurricular activities, and the cost of living in the area. Speaking with current students or alumni can also provide valuable insights into the college experience and any challenges to anticipate. Moving to a new place can be exciting but also overwhelming. You might notice differences in teaching style, social interactions, or even how people spend their free time. For some, it's the food or weather that stands out, while others notice academic expectations or communication style. Adjusting takes time, but participating in campus activities or joining student groups can make the transition smoother. If you're eligible, scholarships can significantly reduce financial stress. To apply, you usually need a strong academic record, extracurricular achievements, or financial need. The allowances vary some cover tuition fees fully or partially, while others include living expenses. It's worth checking the college website or contacting the admissions office for specific options and deadlines. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences here.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is well-connected and affordable. Students can get a day bus pass for 5 pounds, which allows them to travel anywhere in the city. The buses run every five minutes, so students can get anywhere they need to go quickly and easily.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The companies offering work visas depend on the country and industry you're targeting. Teaching, healthcare, and finance often have employers open to sponsorship. In some countries, the government maintains a list of companies that regularly sponsor visas. It might feel overwhelming to navigate this, but narrowing it down by region and industry could help. This varies a lot based on your field of study and location. For example, in teaching, roles like software developer or data analyst are in demand, with salaries often reflecting the skill gap. In other fields, you might see entry-level roles that focus on building experience before scaling up in pay.

Satisfied but not worth it

Tips: Limited Indian food joint options, the ones available are pricy. Public transport is unreliable and the university is great, but not value for money according to me. If you are a party person, then Leeds is a good student city with lots of pubs and clubs around.

Likes (Internships): Good opportunities and projects opportunities available which you can sign up for but it is upon you if you make use of that opportunity and take relevant action on time. Nobody is going to spoon-feed you here to get things done. Need to be independent and manage your time, finances and everything else well.

Dislikes (Value for money): Paying 27500 pounds fee which is now in fact 30000+ pounds for the same course is really not worth it. You should find other universities that offer scholarships. QS ranking just seems like a facade to me. Choose any Russell Group university and you should be alright.

The experience has been adventurous and wonderful.

Tips: Students should know that we pay a lot to attend these colleges, and we shouldn't waste our time partying. Instead, we should study hard to improve ourselves. I think it's better to get a job here because you get good pay in the United Kingdom. If you come here, you should come for a postgraduate degree, which is better. The internships are not relevant to what we are studying at the college. They are usually salespersons or self-racing or something of that kind at the minimum wage level, which is 11 an hour. It is good if we do a job here.

Likes (Value for money): Leeds gives you a homely vibe and has good opportunities. It's very safe walking on the roads at night and also going to parties at night. Leeds is overall a student town where Indians are in the majority, and the Chinese population is about 30% of the total.

University is good to shape your future.

Tips: Students should participate in each event and try to connect with international students and university faculty. This will help them gain overall knowledge. Students should also be specific about their work and complete their assignments on time. This will help them perform better academically and grab opportunities that come their way. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the course, university and the country.

Likes (Safety): Safety is an important factor for international students. Leeds is a safe city with a low crime rate, and the university campus is safe with good security. The nightlife is good, and the safety standards are high.

Dislikes (Internships): The University of Leeds is a great university for internships. They provide a variety of platforms for students to apply for internships and offer guidance on how to apply. Students should attend seminars and workshops on internships to learn more about the process and how to apply.

The college life is good for learning but the career prospects after study is less.

Tips: Here the people expect to say sorry and thank you after everything. You are expected to be polite so adjust accordingly. There is no particular culture. Weekends are just for partying. No scholarship for the M.Sc. management programme is given. The courses are well structured for the studies.
