I had applied for 5 colleges, listed below  1.Kingston University (Admitted)    * Loved the course structure, but was not sure for the location and expense as it was        close to london.   * Also they asked for Portfolio interview and a IELTS qualification.   * Limited scholarship options. 2.Birmingham City University (Rejected)   * My first choice, it was perfect in terms of course, living, expenditure and industry        connect of the uni was a addon to the selection.   * They never replied to my application, which led to choose other other. 3.University of Central Lancashire ( Admitted, finalised)   * Second choice for my course, most affordable uni, with a great course structure and nice       location.   * Most Scholarship provided   * No need for any portfolio viewing. 4.University of Westminster(Admitted)   * Did not find the course structure that relevant.   * Out of my budget 5.Regents University (Admitted)   * My last option, with some modules that were relevant to the interest.   * Location was one more consideration.   * Expensive and few scholarships I chose University of Central Lancashire for my course if Masters in UX Design. My reason to choose this uni is mainly the course structure, the modules were equally divided per semester and were relevant for this industry. Other factors consist of the location, uni is located right in the city center with everything is just a 10 min walk. Affordable living options all around the city and near the uni as well.  They also got a lot of Asian students and also a good alumni connect. The point of decision for me was the scholarships provided, uni provided me with 2 scholarships and helped a lot with the financial aspects. The admission process was straight forward, with filing applications with the details asked like SOP, LOR, previous qualification. I got a quick reply from this uni and provided me with a direct CAS letter. So to confirm my seat I needed to pay the booking amount. All done, pretty straight forward. For my course, they asked for a relevant degree with a minimum qualification 58% in bachelors and minimum english requirement was IELTS 6.5 or 70+marks in 12th boards english subject, I was fortunate enough to get a waiver in english requirement as I socred 70+ in English for my boards, so I was not made to give any IELTS exam. Admission process was hassle free I applied for september intake, as it was the major intake for my course. I had done my application through a councillor agency, so they handled my application, I started applying in the month of february, got my confirmation of selection in the month of march and received my CAS in april. After my CAS paid the fees and then enrolled to the course....Read More

My experience at Uclan has been exceptional.

I choose the UK because of the excellent research scope in the country and the country's reputation for exceptional academic standards. I was further influenced by the city of Preston, which is based in North West England. It is one of the most affordable cities in England, with a wide Indian community. The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) provided a range of courses in science, engineering, management, medicine, etc. UCLan has an amazing support system consisting of dedicated teams for student support, academic support, international student support, career support, and well-being support teams. UCLan is the first university in the UK to have dedicated well-being and mental health support through student ambassadors. Because of all these teams, there is a requirement for student ambassadors and good part-time opportunities for students. They also have a separate student union wing, where students elect their own leaders to discuss and resolve student issues. The staff at the student union are very friendly and helpful. I have completed my course with a distinction grade and received the Dean's Award for excellence in academic performance. Additionally, I have volunteered as a course rep and inspiring project leader with the students union. I learnt a lot from the university, and I had a strong support system from my lectures, staff, library systems, and my fellow students. I have excelled in my studies during the adverse conditions during the covid-19 lockdown. The university experience has helped me in my academics as well as overall personality development. I started working immediately after completing my course. I highly recommend studying at the University of Central Lancashire. They organise many events for students, and they also have good opportunities for part-time work as well. I completed my MBA from UCLan in 2022....Read More
