Course Curriculum

10

  • Course is timeless and relevant for my entrepreneurship career. It was very practical rather than theoretical or academical; it’s a course where you learn by doing, not by reading
  • Yes, I have been the knowledge about entrepreneurship, and I learned great amount of research skills
  • You have hardly 4 to 6 classes in a week; the rest of the time you have for yourself, you can either work for the course or do things you like. But it is effective to use this time for work on course module
  • 30 students were in my class
  • I like how challenging and demanding a course can be. This challenging and demanding part helps students who are part of this course to grow, learn and develop skills for life. The modules in this course are designed in such a way to help you learn and challenge the way you think about business and society. I personally didn’t like the part where the course is only for one year, even though there is lifelong learning of entrepreneurship, and this course is just an introduction and solid foundation to entrepreneurship.
  • Also, I wouldn’t say the course is totally academical yet it is academical which makes it miss a very crucial part of entrepreneurship, which is developing an entrepreneurial (in full) and disruptive mindset (doesn’t give importance at all).
  • In conclusion, It was great learning experience yet it was challenging and intense.
     

Admission Experience

  • I chose this university because of its ranking, reputation and status. I thought it could add so much value for my career and life. I would say the overall experience was a great learning and life-changing experience; it was difficult and intense and could be painful sometimes.
  • Good Score in UG, and 70% above score in English during year 11 and 12.

Faculty

8

  • 3:30 student-to-professor ratio. Dave Jarman and Andrew Collins were great and very helpful to me; I learnt many great things from them. And I would say about Mark Neild I wouldn’t say he is inspiring or thoughtful; it’s actually quite opposite but he had an impact on me in that I have to grow and achieve a lot to make him wrong.

Campus Life

10

  • They have great infrastructure, clubs and events. I love libraries; they are just great, hand down they are the best in the world.
  • If you are able to make friends, campus can be great; if not, you have to an alcoholic or interested in clubs; otherwise, you will have a rough, lonely time.

Part Time Jobs

  • 10 to 12 pounds an hour for TAs or cover teachers jobs can be easily found as part-time jobs for students. 20 hours a week is allowed and it is not that difficult to find a part-time job in Bristol area.

Placement

6

  • 25 to 50% of students get a job in their first 6 months after completion of the course; it can vary depending upon the job market, as the UK job market is very volatile. 40% of students get internship opportunities, as far as I know; the rest don’t care much. This is my knowledge, btw; it can be different as well but I strongly think it's just 40%.

Accommodation

Off Campus
8

  • Actually, the university was very helpful to students to get their accommodations sorted, but it was very competitive, as there were plenty of international students coming from across the world.
  • I would recommend students start this accommodations part very early, as it is also very hard to find a place in Bristol. The monthly budget depends upon what you can afford; it varies from 650 to 1500 pounds as well.

Exams

  • A statement of Purpose and LOR, CV is required to apply

Fees

  • 26500 pounds
