Uni of Cambridge review

I applied for the following universities: University of Cambridge, MPhil in Advanced Computer Science (Admitted) University of Nottingham, MSc in Computer Science (Received an offer) University of Birmingham, MSc in Advanced Computer Science (Received an offer) University of Leeds, MSc in Advanced Computer Science (Received an offer) University of Manchester, MSc in Advanced Computer Science (Rejected, no feedback after deferring the application twice) King's College London, MSc in Advanced Computer Science (Rejected, no feedback) University College London, MSc in Systems and Electronics engineering (Rejected, no feedback after deferral) At the University of Cambridge, I found my potential PhD supervisor, Prof Richard Mortier. I read about the paper on unikernels and was inspired to further contribute in the field. The admission process was straightforward but not easy. You need to provide the following: Personal Statement Research Proposal Evidence for mathematical proficiency Evidence for programming experience Academic CV UG Transcript 2 Academic References If shortlisted, you will be interviewed based on your profile and research proposal. They want to know how you will progress after your MPhil. This will be comprehensive but does not require any extensive preparation. However, be prepared if they ask questions by picking the details, like your transcript. If you progress further, you will get a conditional offer from the department of computer science and technology. Your application goes to a college post-acceptance. For eligibility, you must possess the following: IELTS score 7.5+ (7.0+ in each component) UG aggregate score 75%+ from a recognised university For the October intake, it can take at least 4 months from applications to offer. In the case of scholarships, expect up to 8 months. This includes time to review your application, interview, and college allocation, as well as decisions for scholarships. First you apply to the department, then your application is first processed by the department, followed by an interview. If the department recommends your application to the student registry, your application goes to the postgraduate office, which gives you the offer. Once you accept your offer, your application goes to the colleges you mentioned as preferred in your application. If you get an offer, you are guaranteed a college. In case you chose funding, your application will go to the respective funding bodies mentioned in the application form....Read More

Cambridge University has a very diverse cohort and warm people. People are approachable and very helpful. There is a wide range of things you could learn.  The admission process is simply giving your GMAT/ GRE and then filling out your details in the application portal. You will need 1 recent professional recommendation. For the MBA program you need at least 2 years of experience and there is no minimum GMAT score but having a score 700 and above is always beneficial. I applied for the 2023-24 intake . I applied after gaining 4 years of experience at the time of course. I found the best time for foreign MBA because they seek experience and it is rather seen as an executive MBA not like Indian institutes which take graduate students directly without experience. The whole process took 4 months. I applied in January round and got my decision in April and I started school in September but given the uncertainties, someone should start a year ahead of anticipated school start....Read More

It's prestigious and this means that graduates often enjoy excellent job opportunities. It's hard to get into (interview process, high grades, etc.) so the need to work hard to get in was a source of motivation when I was studying for my A level exams....Read More
