University of York is one of the best university for research.

Tips: Students should learn the basics, make use of the resources, and be extremely satisfied with the professors and course material. The transition was easy, and there was a diverse student body that provided many opportunities to interact and learn. However, I did not apply for a scholarship. Overall, I am quite content with my experiences here.

Likes (Post study jobs): There are more than 100+ companies in the UK that are relevant to the audio industry. On average, people can get paid anywhere from 25,000 to 50,000 per yea...

A historical institution to build a better future for all people from all walks of life.

Tips: The transition to a new country is never simple but there is a lot of support for anyone that's looking for it. Before moving to York, it would be good to get in contact with coursemates and students you will be living with. In addition, spend time looking into societies you want to get involved in as early on in the year there will be plenty of taste sessions to go and participate in which will aid in socializing in a new environment. The university also has a buddy programme that would put you...

Best place to pursue your research work.

Tips: If you are fortunate enough to have a government sponsorship, then York is a great place to study. However, scholarships are hard to come by if you don't have that kind of support. Also, although York itself has few job opportunities, three major cities are nearby, so you might be able to find something. The cost of living in York is relatively high, but housing and transportation are affordable.

The winters in York can get really cold so please be prepared to buy good quality winter wear that will last. The University has done a lot to make the transition smoother. There are a number of fresher week activities including college lunches and coffee meets where students can meet other international students as well as home students.

Great campus life, amazing academics but dull UK job market.

Tips: Academics are rigorous but not stressful. It focuses on more independent study. Time management and self-discipline are crucial. York is a historically picturesque city but small compared to other cities like Birmingham and Manchester. It's great for students who enjoy a laidback atmosphere, as it gives easy access to nature and historically sits. The cost of living is on the higher side. You can find international stores to get desi stuff. UK academic culture stresses critical thinking and inde...

The University of York is an excellent university in each aspect.

Tips: York is a good university but primarily depends on your course. However, the Computer Science department is very good. I didn't get any scholarship, but a couple of people whom I know got it, which means yes, scholarships are being offered in my course. When I joined, the fee was 24000 Rs. But now it's around 27K. Moreover, the campus is really good it's like having your own city. I lived in Annelister College, and the accommodation was around 8k when I joined. It was a well-balanced shift in a ...

Check for scholarships before you start your course.

Tips: Scholarship details should be checked before coming because a lot of people tend to miss the scholarship and end up paying a lot more. Part time needs to be applied really quickly because the number of students completing for part time is a lot which can leave you jobless while studying.

Likes (Safety): It feels safe to walk around the city at any time of the day and night. Everyone respects one another. I have walked all around the city on a cold winter night while never facing issues from anyone. Did not even...

Stepping out of your comfort zone and living the world that lies beyond your constricted boundaries

Tips: The cultural shift is very evident and yet it is not overwhelming or unmanageable. Staying true to yourself and being open-minded and accepting takes you a long way. There are University competitive scholarships available. However, I was unsuccessful in attaining one. I am very happy with the choice of the University I made. It has far exceeded my expectations in every manner.

One of the safest and best university in UK

Tips: Look and research thoroughly about your course and also about the city. If you are more interested in party rich and more lively city life then this is not the city as there is not much of a young population. Also one should look into the availability of cheap options for rent.

Likes (Safety): York as a city is one of the safest city in UK. Also this particular university has very low or no racism and has a good amount of cultural diversity between students. Also as there is not much young crowd in York so ther...

Fun loving University with many interesting activities to explore.

Tips: There were few cultural socks at the start of my college but later on got used to it. I did not get any scholarship as when I applied the deadline was already passed. I feel okay about my university experience but there is always room for improvement in terms of course modules and other facilities such as labs.

Good university, life is awesome and studies are a bit hard

Tips: I would ask students to just join the university and then it would be easy once you are here. However, think about the course that best suits you or else it would be a waste. Life is good here, you would be having a lot of fun parties, night outs and get together etc. Assignments are the main area of focus as it would be new to some and adapting would be difficult so a proper understanding of what you are doing will help. Always there will be support from the teachers so there is no issue just ...

Excellent University for studies and fun.

Tips: Students should know the subject modules of their courses. Because some of the courses have the least number of subject modules which will have an impact on in depth understanding of the main course.
