Cyber Security Masters/MSc - Batch of 2023

Offered by University of Birmingham

The university is good and there are lots of on-campus events happening simultaneously.

Tips: Before joining the University of Birmingham, it is essential to manage their time well, especially with dividing the academic workload, networking with professors and peers, and getting involved in campus activities. Also, be prepared for a different teaching style and expectations compared to home. The city is generally safe and the campus facilities are good. There are occasional cons in certain parts of the city particularly at night. The overall crime rate is low, but it's always important to stay alert and follow safety tips. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Dislikes (Indian Food): While it is sometimes difficult to find authentic dishes from my country, I have been able to find local stores that serve familiar flavours. The availability of ingredients in international stores or markets also helps, but certain spices or delicacies are often harder to find.

Mathematical Finance MSc - Batch of 2023

Offered by University of Birmingham

3.7

On-campus part-time jobs are mostly taken by the locals. They don't prefer international students.

Tips: I did transition after coming here. There was a huge cultural shift I faced during the first month, but I eventually got used to it. I did avail a scholarship. It was granted by my university for International students and was worth 3000. On-campus part-time jobs are mostly taken by the locals. They don't prefer international students. They have set so high standards for even part-time jobs on campus. Managing academics and part-time at the same time is a bit hectic. The minimum payout is 10.42 for those who are above the age of 21. Overall, I'm satisfied with my university in every aspect.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Well-experienced faculty members from all over the world. They were easily accessible and ready to help at any time. Classes were conducted in seminar halls with a video recording option, so we can access them at any time after that throughout our lifetime.

Public Health MPH - Batch of 2024

Offered by University of Birmingham

2.7

It provides a solid foundation for public health career.

Tips: Transitioning to the University of Birmingham was both exciting and challenging. The cultural shift was significant, especially coming from a different country. I had to adapt to new social norms, academic expectations, and even the weather. However, the university's welcoming environment and diverse student body made the transition smoother. Engaging in various student activities and societies helped me acclimate and make new friends. I did avail myself of a scholarship. I applied for the University's International Scholarship programme, which required submitting an application form, academic transcripts, and a personal statement. The MPH course was rigorous and well-structured, offering a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The faculty were supportive and always available for guidance. Living in the UK has been a rewarding experience, with its rich history, diverse culture, and numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth. I feel well-prepared for my future career in public health and grateful for the experiences and education I received. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experience at the University of Birmingham.

4.9

Enriching academic journey with cultural growth.

Tips: Students should know that they have excellent academic programs and a good community. Also, they should come prepared to deal with the weather and the cost of living. I had to transition to a new culture, new classes, and new living in this city. But overall, I'm very happy with my city and my course here in the UK. They’ve provided invaluable learning opportunities and personal growth.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is well connected at reliable and convenient. The campus is easily accessible through buses trains and Metro making computing within the city seamless. Public transport is affordable with student discount discounts and frequent services ensuring smooth travel for students and residents alike.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The process can be lengthy and requires meeting strict criteria like continuous employment and Visa eligibility. If given a chance I would consider permanent settlement due to the country's thriving cyber security industry and cultural diversity which alliance well with my professional and personal interests. However, visa policies and job market competition remain key factors to evaluate.

Public Health MPH - Batch of 2024

Offered by University of Birmingham

2.9

An academic oriented university with engaging workshops and career fair going around the year.

Tips: Before joining the University of Birmingham, students should know its emphasis on research-led teaching, diversity, and active campus life. Be prepared for independent learning and take advantage of Birmingham's professional opportunities and vibrant city life for holistic growth.

Likes (Public transportation): Birmingham is the second largest city in the UK. The city council gives 100 percent in maintaining the transportation facilities. We have a university station stop which is loaded on the campus which makes it easier to connect from different parts of Birmingham as well as other cities.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Public health has minimal visa-sponsored job opportunities and being in a highly competitive region makes it even harder to get a sponsored job in this field. Though there are various scopes of jobs in this field it can be broadly classified into the public health practice side and the research side. Both the side has its own positive and negative. I would prefer to settle in the country if I get a visa sponsorship.
