I chose the University of Leeds for my MSc in Data Science and Analytics due to several factors that I believed would be crucial. These were university rankings across engineering and data-based courses, followed by recruitment rates in the area for my field. After these, I liked that the short course had enough extracurricular options to make the master's more of an experience. Only the TOEFL score was required, with the rest being based on academic merit....Read More

I only applied to UK Russell Group colleges, which are as follows: King's College London, University of Edinburgh, Queen Mary University of London, and University of Leeds. I got rejected from the first 2 and got accepted in the last 2. In my opinion, Kings College requires higher grades and a better portfolio than mine. The number of applicants each year is too big and I was not prepared for it, as MS was never something I had considered earlier. For Edinburgh, they did not specify a reason but I assume I hadn't given IELTS by that time; it could be a reason. I chose the University of Leeds over Queen Mary as it has a higher QS ranking and London is more expensive than Leeds. The University of Leeds just required 2 LORs and an SOP apart from all the identification documents. It didn't ask for any other exam. Although I gave IELTS for Queen Mary, which required 6+ bands in each section of the exam. Application was overall easy for me once I had all the documents in place. The only challenge was to get the LoRs and tailor the SoP as per the college. I got into the Fall (September) intake of 2023 batch because the data science and analytics program was only available in Autumn. The admission process wasn't very long. Once I accepted the offer and paid the initial amount, I received CAS in around 2 weeks. I can say the entire thing from applying to getting my CAS was around 1.5-2 months of process....Read More

Applied to the University of Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol, and Leeds, and received an unconditional offer letter from all of them and was accepted.  All of them required certain documents to change my conditional offer letter to unconditional, but Liverpool offered me an unconditional offer straightaway with an automatic scholarship, which made me question their quality. I picked the University of Leeds after considering different factors like rankings and city life . The admission process was easy. I used an agency to help me out, and they took care of most of the stuff, like collecting my education documents. I didn't have to take the IELTS test because they accepted my English scores from Class X and XII. It was a smooth process, no hassle at all. In January of 2023, I submitted my application for the September 2023 intake. By the end of February, I had received an unconditional offer letter. There was no communication or updates shared with me during the selection process. However, the first email I received from the University informed me that I had been selected but needed to provide my English proficiency test scores to receive my unconditional offer letter. As an IELTS alternative, I submitted my English test scores, and the requirement was subsequently waived....Read More
