MSc Finance - Batch of 2024

Offered by Durham University

4.3

Overwhelming, challenging and beautiful

Tips: Students should know the essence of Durham is concerned with staying in college accommodation which offers a sense of community and belonging. Secondly, Durham is a very close-knit and quiet city and the weather is mostly rainy and cold. Thirdly, the course a student selects will get challenging eventually.

This University is a good choice.

Tips: The university is well recognised amongst the recruiters in the UK. The programs are very well structured and the professors are very helpful. However, the Durham as a city is very dull. There is not much to do around. There are very less opportunities for part-time jobs because the city is so small. The 1st month in Durham is very difficult as the city is very cold, windy and hilly. You will have to walk a lot on inclined paths. So it is better to be mentally and physically prepared for that.

Likes (Safety): People around the city are very helpful. There are porters in every college to help students whenever needed. I have hardly faced any kind of racism from the people around me. The university has a night line for the female students to drop them to their destination late at night at a very low price of 2 pounds.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There are hardly 2-3 Indian restaurants in Durham and the food is not that great. The taste doesn’t justify the high prices. Cooking on my own is so much more affordable and satisfying. The ingredients are easily available around the city. There is only one Indian grocery store though.
