Tips: Before joining the student must know all the required modules. They need to study before the course starts and know how to apply for scholarships because getting it is not a big task. I am highly satisfied with the country as well as the university along with students, the place is fun.

Likes (Post study jobs): Post study jobs are hard to find as very less companies sponsor you. Even after PSW it's difficult to get a job out here. But the packages are good and even the roles are good. Jobs are for software engineers and senior software engineers as well. All good roles are available you just need to find them.

Dislikes (Internships): Not many internships are available for the students. As it's just a one-year course and the schedule is really very hectic and it doesn't allow much time to apply for them. Internships are there but you need to search them thoroughly. Guidance will be given by the college to apply.

MSc Data Science - Batch of 2022

Getting a permanent job is difficult. Research is required for this course.

Tips: The one thing that students must keep in their mind is that, please equip yourself with some work experience because the course is practical and you will get the advantage. It will be easier for you to get a decent job or internship. I hope this will help. Research well about your course structure as well.

Likes (Part time work): There are many part time job opportunities in the city. You can easily find a job using website like totaljobs, linkedin etc. I had many friends who used to work part-time in places like Subways, Primark, McDonald etc. I guess finding a job with Tier 2 is quite hard but not part time job.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I rated low on Permanent Immigration cause after the completion of masters everyone looks for a job which provides the Tier 2 Visa or Skilled Worker Visa but there is huge competition for those jobs. The economy crashing and the growth of Artificial Intelligence is also killing jobs.

A great experience, but do research the UK job market before making a decision.

Tips: I'm happy with the course I took at the University of Southampton. However, I was disappointed with the lack of job opportunities. If you are considering this university, be prepared to put in extra effort. Study the previous year's papers and understand the exam pattern. Faculty members will help you if you ask. Also, scholarships are available for business-related courses but are rare for engineering courses.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is very well connected to major parts of the city. The ticket prices are affordable if you’re a student, a student discount is available. The buses are frequent during the term time and very convenient. Transportation mode is mainly by bus. There’s a single train station in the city centre and an airport on the outskirts of the city.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Not many jobs are available right now. Especially for sponsored jobs, you’ll need to start searching very early on during the course. Despite that, many people still haven’t landed a job and are doing part-time work to sustain. PSW is another major expense at the end of the course. It’s a burden if you haven’t landed a job.

Good college with a better understanding of the courses.

Tips: Students should have a good experience and then come to get the Masters's as that provides an upper hand when it comes to job hunting. There are not many scholarships available for this course but I am highly satisfied with the university and would suggest people join it.

Likes (Public transportation): The public transport is well connected through the city of Southampton and you get a free bus pass when you live at student accommodation by the University and that is really of great help. Public transport is cheap and connects you through the entire city and no restrictions on the no. of times you travel.

Dislikes (Internships): Internship opportunities are fewer because part time student hours are less and there are restrictions on working full time on student visa. And with dissertation in hand, you hardly get time for the internships. But there are quite a few companies which do give opportunities.

Good university. Value for money.

Tips: Before joining the university students must be well aware of the modules they are going into. There are good chances of availing scholarships so one should not miss it. I am highly satisfied with both UK as well as the University of Southampton.

Likes (Value for money): It's a good value for money university. As it ranks among the best universities for computer science in the UK. Renowned companies take part in recruiting students from Southampton. Overall, not that expensive yet good value for money and the infrastructure is amazing too.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There are some good choices available for Indian food but cannot match the taste. Low in quality food is there. Many Indian hotels are there that give good food and apart from that, even the tiffin service is available. However, I prefer eating at home.
