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...

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...

A way to get Masters certificate, nothing else.

Tips: 1. There's a cultural shift but it depends on the student. A student moved to a different country, so they should be accepting of the cultural shift and have a broader mindset. 2. I got the scholarship from Uni, but apparently everybody does. 3. With the University I am not so much satisfied but yes a way to get Masters in education. For the course, not so much from this University but if you learn it yourself and improve your skills, you can do wonders. The country is good as of now, a little...

University of Leicester is one of the top 30 Universities in UK.

Tips: The course structure at the University of Leicester is amazing, but having prior work experience is a plus for this particular course. I received a scholarship of 5000 Pounds, which helped offset the cost of tuition. The weather in the UK can be depressing, but the university itself is worth it.

Likes (Indian Food): Leicester has some of the best Indian food you can get in the UK for a very reasonable rate. But it won't be the exact same as you get back in India, so, I mostly cooked my own meals when I didn't have cl...

The University of Leicester is a good university with supportive faculty.

Tips: Students should know that this city and the university are good places to be in. The atmosphere here is good and the teaching in the university is also excellent. But one thing to keep in mind is that people in the university won't spoon-feed you anything. It is your responsibility to get stuff and doubts cleared and do extra work for a better understanding.

Likes (Safety): Leicester is a very safe city, and the crime rate is also very low. Since I arrived, I have not heard of anything untoward happening to any...

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 jo...

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 c...

Being independent is important to survive.

Tips: 1. Learn to be independent and start taking care of ourselves as there won't be our parents to be there for each and every small thing. Life will play with you as much as it can. But we will learn from it and become strong and independent. Moving away from your parents and needing to take care of each and everything and none of the people care about you. Friends will become your family. 2. It depends on IELTS cut off , I got 6.5 overall and they have given me a 3000 pounds scholarship and reduce...
