The university is great and provides good internship opportunities.
Tips: Before joining the University of East Anglia for an M.Sc. in business and management students should be aware of the diverse and inclusive campus culture. Transitioning to UEA often involves adjusting to a collaborative and research-oriented environment. Many students experience a cultural shift, and new perspectives and lifestyles scholarships are available. I received one by applying to the universities on online portals with allowances covering some part of my tuition fee. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with UEA's academic rigour faculty and the vibrant city of Norwich, making it a great choice for international students.

Good future after studying here.
Tips: Come to study, do not just focus on work, learn from faculty and network well. Build your local knowledge and communication skills. Also, try to work in the field of your experience, that will be really helpful. Also, meet people from different countries and network.
Likes (Internships): You get jobs and networking opportunities easily. Also, if you are smart and have a good command over language then you can really establish yourself. Make sure to come here with good written, spoken and listening skills in the language as it is helpful.
Dislikes (Public transportation): At night, it is difficult to travel. There are very limited travel options, however, if you rent or have an electric scooter then it becomes easy for you. A taxi is expensive, however, the bus is convenient for that travel until midnight. Otherwise, rail transport is also good.

Good academic experience in a natural landscape.
Tips: For a master's course, you should have a basic knowledge of theories, methodologies, and epistemology. There are varied scholarship options available for Indian students in the UK. I received a partial scholarship from the university based on my academic background. The course was excellent, but it could have been improved by adding a wider global perspective and not just focusing on African and American feminism. The country is costly but very beautiful with endless options to explore for people who like culture, history, and art.
Likes (Student Life): Lots of activities are available on campus -- partying options, arts and crafts sessions, open mics, festivals etc. There are more than 25 societies available to join and be a part of. The city is vibrant and would be a great experience for people who love nature, photography, and art.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There were not many options to get sponsored jobs in the sector, despite having work experience backing me. It is good to get internships and training, as well as academic jobs. The payscale, if you manage to get through any academic job would be anywhere between 30,000 GBP to 60,000 GBP based on experience, location, and job function.

Good university to study in UK for masters
Tips: I got the M.Sc. training scholarship which was partially funded and I received a waiver of 5000 GBP on my tuition fee. There are many scholarships meritorious students can even get 10000 pounds off depending on luck as well. I like this university and everyone is helpful. Faculty and student bodies are all good.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation has no problems. Single line system and inter-changing is not required. I prefer the bus to go to my college as my accommodation is not far. I have gone to London, it took me 2 hours and 15 minutes to reach there by train. It is also very cheap which I like but not that much as compared to some other European countries.
Dislikes (Part time work): The university has many jobs but I don't know why they do not give it to students who are already studying there. In other universities, students get the job but here they bring others to do it and not the students which I didn't like. Outside the college jobs are available, hourly rate is 12 pounds don't work for something less than as some students have been made to feel foolish.

The university is good, still need to improve in the practical analysis
Tips: Students coming should be aware that it is going to be tough. However, the quality of faculty and teaching standards are higher than other nearby universities. Faculty members are supportive but some of the subjects need a bit more practical topics. Lastly, students should come prepared, try to get in touch with a few students from your course.
Likes (Post study jobs): Considering this is one of the top rated colleges in the UK, it provides practical exposure compared to other colleges located in the area.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The facility in the college is good and highly talented. Most of them were Ph.D. professors and they were very friendly and answered all our questions. And most importantly the knowledge they possess is very valuable and most of them were very polite.

Beautiful campus, and great faculty. A huge library and a great student support team.
Tips: Prefer to stay on the University campus, it is easy to attend classes and you will not be disturbed by the unnecessary hustle-bustle of landlords. Please be prepared with your finance (university fees + at least 6 months of expenses) and do not rely on getting this sorted with a part-time job.
Likes (Safety): The City of Norwich is safe and peaceful with ample security, and almost zero crime rate and you even girls will not hesitate to walk even on the dark road at 2 AM. Transportation is available till midnight and it is easy to commute from one place to another.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Getting sponsorship post-PSW is a challenge as it becomes difficult for organisations to prove your worth, especially for general courses like engineering and management. PSW is for two years and you need to prove your worth in that period to get the sponsorship. The research field has better chances for settlement.
