Life at University of Leicester is very vibrant and happening.

Tips: The University of Leicester offers strong academics, an affordable cost of living, and a diverse, student-friendly environment. The transition is smooth, although adapting to independent learning and British social norms does take time. Scholarships of up to 5,000 help to reduce tuition costs. Leicester offers adequate career prospects as visa challenges are there. The University of Leicester is an affordable place to study. You can get scholarships of up to 5,000 here. You can choose from affordable shared or ensuite accommodation, depending on your preferences. There’s also a strong brown community in the area, so you should have no problem finding food to eat. In fact, there’s loads of multicultural food available, which is great. There are restaurants around specializing in Indian cuisine and lots of places that sell traditional Maggi and samosas.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It is difficult to get PR here. You have to work 5 years and your study year does not count. Also a lot of competition in white-collar jobs. I would personally not immigrate permanently as you may feel alone sometimes and also medical care is a little messed up.

Student life is great and there are many educational events that are engaging.

Tips: Students should do deep research before coming to the University of Leicester. They should make sure that they are selecting the correct accommodation for their stay. The faculty are very accessible and helpful. However, I think the faculty should have group discussions every week with all the students to find out if anyone is having any problems. Otherwise, all the staff is very knowledgeable and helps students. I am very satisfied with my University and would recommend it to anyone considering studying here.

Likes (Post study jobs): I feel like the student life at this university is very happening. There are many opportunities for students to help other people. The student body is very diverse, and I have met students from all ethnicities. The volunteers are very helpful.

Average college with strict rules.

Tips: The transition was super easy. It's mostly cloudy or night every day depending on the season. Consider this university only if you are serious about studying. All the assignments are on a level of a mini-project so it would not be easy. There are no part-time jobs at the university, so you'll have to find one in Leicester or elsewhere as it mostly depends on the season. If you start in January, it will be difficult to find a part-time job for at least five or six months. Even if you do find a job, it will likely be a short-term contract position that might not be renewed. The average salary for these positions is the minimum wage of 11.44 per hour.

Likes (Indian Food): You will get everything that you find in India for sure. We have Indian grocery stores over here but it is better to get from India in case it could be expensive if you don't have a part-time job, so get as much stuff as possible.

Amazing life with great academics.

Tips: Before joining this college, students should be aware of the academic programs and modules, aware of basic programming and plagiarism awareness. Students should have a good friend circle that can help them with studies, part-time jobs, professional job hunts, activities, extracurricular activities, and food preparation.

Likes (Safety): I have lived near campus and so have my friends, and it is an incredibly safe area, especially in the LE2 postcode. However, it can vary depending on the area and your landlord. I highly recommend students find private accommodation or go with university accommodation, as agency accommodation is more expensive and students may have difficulty getting their deposit back due to a lack of understanding of household responsibilities.

Dislikes (Part time work): Before the Russia-Ukraine war, part-time jobs were plentiful. However, you can still get a part-time job within 40 days. There are opportunities in restaurants, stores, warehouses, and tutoring. These jobs can help you develop transferable skills, such as communication and explaining things to non-experts.

Exciting, prosperous and interesting.

Tips: I think students should accept the change in order to survive alone, far from home and with expenses all the positives leaving the negatives behind. There is not much cultural change as Leicester is a smaller India all people here are mostly Punjabis and Gujaratis. So, it's quite easy for you if you are Indian. I have availed myself of a 5000 scholarship that I got from the University of Leicester based on my Bachelor's degree. I think I'm 70% satisfied with everything the university, city and country have provided, the rest 30% is for jobs and countries economy.

Likes (Safety): I think Leicester is one of the safest cities in the United Kingdom because there are always people around. There are few quiet places because many Indians live in Leicester. During Indian festivals, there are exciting and authentic celebrations that everyone can take part in.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are definitely jobs out there, but many of the good ones need Security clearance (SC), which you can only get after living for 5 years in the UK. On the bright side, UK still has a lot of opportunities compared to other countries. There's the typical path for fresh graduates. You can apply for a graduate visa, and then apply for graduate roles twice or thrice during this period. If you do well in companies they might sponsor you for 3 more years. So it might take 5 years for all this, wherein you can better jobs after this as well. It's tougher for people with work experience since the local government is pushing the talents that are available locally inside the country first and the UK market is down economically which makes it competitive to find jobs.

Highlights

Discoveries in cell and molecular biology underpin most of what is known about the development of cancer. Analysis of alterations in diverse cell functions including cell communication, cell division, cell metabolism, cell movement, genetic modifications and changes in gene expression are central to our understanding of the disease and ultimately its treatment.
This full-time postgraduate degree will provide you with cutting-edge knowledge and practical training in those aspects of molecular and cell biology which are required to understand the current approaches to cancer research.
The course comprises four months of intensive taught lab work, tutorials and lectures followed by a six month, independent laboratory research project. As well as developing your understanding of the cellular and molecular processes and techniques used in cancer research, you will learn how to critically analyse research data and research papers and how to communicate complex scientific concepts and processes.
