Enriching academic and cultural experience at UoM.

Tips: When you come to the University of Manchester, you can expect a cultural shift and a need to adapt to independent living. Engaging with your fellow students and the university as a whole will help you adjust to academic rigour and cultural diversity. The faculty at this college is highly knowledgeable, supportive, and experienced. The professors are approachable and provide prompt email responses. The focus on practical applications is effective and engaging. The faculty comes from diverse backgrounds, which brings a global perspective to the classroom. I am highly satisfied with my course, university, and the UK's cultural richness. It's great for the overall growth of an individual.

Dislikes (Indian Food): The Indian food options in Manchester are decent but not always authentic. There are two types of restaurants in the locality: budget-friendly ones like Bundobust and Chaiwala, where a meal costs 7-10 pounds per person; and mid-range ones like Dishoom and Mowgli, where a meal costs 15-25 pounds per person. I usually cook my own meals.

Diverse and culturally rich university with a lot of internal opportunities.

Tips: The University of Manchester is a diverse and culturally rich university with a lot of internal opportunities. The course content is good and designed for students with at least a year or two of experience in the field of study. The university is recognized globally and has a good reputation. Student diversity is above 90%. Different types of scholarships are available so students can apply for international scholarships.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The quality of teaching and the professors at this university are fabulous. The professors are very experienced in their subject of teaching. They are from different countries and have studied at top-tier universities. They also have ground-level experience in their fields. In addition, the faculty is very helpful and provides support for assignments.

Dislikes (Internships): The university does not provide internships. You have to find one on your own time outside of study hours. Also, it is difficult to manage a part-time job, your classes, assignments, and coursework because the courses are intense and you have classes three to four days a week.

Good college with amazing experience.

Tips: I was awarded a scholarship that provided a tuition discount. I applied for the scholarship online, and the process was straightforward. There were some cultural adjustments, but the large Indian population made the transition easier. I am very satisfied with the University of Manchester, the course I took, and the country itself.

Likes (Public transportation): The city is well connected by bus and trams and has multiple railway stations. Cabs are also easily available. The campus is in the centre of the city, so it is well-connected. It is also a walking distance from the city centre. Public transport is very affordable and they offer passes too.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It all depends on whether you've got a job or not, and whether the company wants to sponsor a visa or not. The chances of permanent settlement are pretty slim as of now given the global scenario and slim job market. But if given a chance, I would like to settle in the UK, barring some cities.

My 2 years of experience in Manchester with a lot of ups and downs.

Tips: After coming to the UK, you will definitely see many changes be it people, culture, climate or language everything is different than what you have experienced in India so yes it will be a major change. I didn't get any scholarship. I have tried, but no such luck. Overall, my experience with the university, course and country was good. I learned a lot and experienced a lot of new things so in total my experience was quite good.

Likes (Public transportation): I found Manchester's public transportation system to be very convenient, frequent, and economical. Unless you live far from the city, you won't have any problems getting around. As a student, you'll get huge discounts on bus and tram passes, which makes tickets even cheaper.

Dislikes (Part time work): Right now the UK job market is stagnant with not many jobs especially if you are a fresher that's the same case with on-campus part-time jobs. It is very competitive and employers prefer individuals with experience. However, if you are open to working in the the food and beverage sector, chances are comparatively better, but you still have to spend a good amount of time in part-time job hunting and be prepared for the challenges. I can't guarantee this for every course but for my course, it was quite manageable by working part-time you will be financially independent and if you can manage your time properly then both work and study will be a piece of cake. As a student in the UK, you are legally allowed to work only for 20 hours with minimum wages which is plenty to cover your personal expenses.

Highlights

Individuals, governments, and organizations now routinely connect their computers to the Internet to communicate, provide services, and access massive stores of shared information
These online activities, many conducted beyond national boundaries, have opened up enormous opportunities for security attacks such as identity thefts, computer hackings, privacy breaches, technical sabotages, etc
Addressing security threats and attacks in this vast and complex distributed environment is an immensely challenging task
The Computer Security pathway is centered around a core Security theme that introduces students to fundamental security topics that arise in the design, analysis, and implementation of networked and distributed systems
Subsidiary themes allow students to investigate broader areas in which they may apply their newly acquired skills
The pathway is designed for students who wish to specialize in the security aspect of the Information Technology field
