The place, Sheffield, is really nice. Ranking of the university The course modules suited my needs. Overall experience was really good. We could use more industrial collaboration and conferences, and so on, at the master's level. Nothing much to complain about if you realize you are going into a research-oriented university....Read More

I applied to 5 colleges. University of Sheffield University of Leeds Queen Mary University of London University of Bath University of Southampton I got accepted into Sheffield and Southampton for the course I wanted. Queen Mary offered me a different course to get in. Bath and Leeds, I got rejected. I wanted to get into a lot of the bigger universities in London and Manchester as well. But what I lacked was a decent score in my Undergrad here in India. I didn’t even qualify for a lot of colleges based on my CGPA and the ranking my college had in our country. Between Sheffield and Southampton, I chose to go with Sheffield for a few reasons. Firstly, Sheffield was better on the world rankings chart. I really wanted the best university experience, and Sheffield rates very highly all over the UK. In hindsight, I love that I did not do my university in London because the student life and the uni part is really missing there. I had the best 3 years living in that city. It was next to Manchester, and I always wanted to study in Manchester because I am a big Manchester United supporter. Did came to work as I used to work in their stadium at one point. The admission process was quite simple for most universities in the UK. My work was simpler as I was taking help from a counsellor for my applications, as I did not want to risk anything. But the applications in the UK are pretty straightforward and don’t really ask for countless documents. The conditions are not straight-up set by any college and really depend on your overall profile. For me, they asked me to maintain a 7/10 CGPA in college by the end, and I did achieve it. Other than that, your SOP really matters, and that is basically when you tell them why you really want to join them. I was not asked for an IELTS exam as my school was recognised for providing overall education in my CBSE 12th grade. I applied for the September intake. Had started thinking and shortlisting universities by March-April and was actively applying from June-July. I got a conditional offer from my uni earlier because one semester was left in my undergrad college, and they wanted me to have certain grades. As soon as I got my result back in around July end or August start, I submitted my marksheets and got an unconditional letter. After that, the visa process started and took somewhere around 20-25 days to get my visa....Read More

I had received offers from the University of Manchester, the University of Sussex, the University of Reading, in addition to the University of Sheffield. I didn't get any rejections. The University of Manchester course was Management of Information Systems, which is more business-related. The University of Sussex was in Information Technology, so more technology-related. The University of Reading was Business Consulting. I was between the University of Sheffield & Manchester. Both are Russell Group universities. The University of Manchester is higher ranked. However, I really loved the course at Sheffield. It was a good blend of technology & business. That was the major reason for choosing Sheffield. Also, the University of Manchester's tuition fees were higher, and I got a scholarship at the University of Sheffield. The admission process is very easy. You have to fill out the application, provide your transcripts, write a statement of purpose & get 2 letters of recommendation from your professors/teachers/employers. I took IELTS & got an 8 band. Generally the minimum requirement is 6.5. IELTS is generally more common in the UK. Overall admission experience was good. The University of Sheffield reached out to me for grade conversion. I provided that and got the acceptance in a few weeks. I would highly recommend applying as early as possible. September 2022 intake Most UK universities have a Sept intake. That's why I applied for it. In January very few universities/courses have intake. I applied in December and got an offer in January from the University of Sheffield. It depends on the university. Some might take give an offer in few days. Apply as early as possible. Good luck....Read More

It was very pleasant experience. There are multiple reasons I choose it; the topmost is how my Curriculum and course is structured – it's more practical learning – and others include my good scholarship, Top ranking, Accreditation, City etc., I didnt have to have an exam, as I was given waiver on IELTS....Read More

The University is well ranked in UK and globally as well. Secondly, the cost of living in Sheffield was bit economical than the other options. Data Science is a booming field and because of my personal interest in that subject. My Score : IELTS 7.5. (This is the only exam I took up)....Read More

I applied for the following univerisities: University of Bristol—accepted but I didn't opt as the cost of living is too high University of Birmingham—accepted but I didn't opt as it's an unsafe city in the UK University of Sheffield—accepted (got admitted here) Edinburgh University—accepted but didn't opt as I got an offer letter really late. University of Leeds—rejected as they required work experience for my course I joined the University of Sheffield as my course here has good recognition (ScHAAR accredited). The admission process was very simple and easy. They required IELTS eligibility of overall band 7, with minimum scores of 65% in the undergrad course . I was involved in each and every step of my admission process. Mr Parth from Collegedunia was really helpful in this process. My entire process from selecting a university to admission and visa was just 1.5 months and wouldn’t have been possible without Parth and Suhana. Many thanks to them! Oh yeah, the city is safe with a decent cost of living, which made me choose Sheffield University and I am happy with my decision. I applied for the September intake in 2023. The University of Sheffield doesn't have a January intake. I started to look for universities at the end of May, and then I contacted Collegedunia regarding universities. I applied to five universities at the beginning of June and got acceptance or offer letters by the end of June. I decided on the University of Sheffield and paid £1000 to secure my seat and then later paid the first semester fees in installments by the end of September 2023....Read More

I applied to the following universities: University of Leeds—Rejected Queen Mary University of London—Shortlisted Aston University—Shortlisted University of Sheffield—Shortlisted University of Birmingham—Rejected I think the reason for rejection is I didn't have relevant modules in my bachelor's education, which was needed for their relevant master's program. The acceptance rate was also low for these universities. I chose this college over others because the ranking was excellent, and I read in the reviews that the teaching was good. I was really interested in the modules they taught. For the admission process, they told me to submit relevant documents in their MUSE account. They gave me the CAS after paying the deposit amount. The eligibility criteria is IELTS (overall – 7; Reading, Writing, Speaking, listening – minimum 7.5) The overall experience was excellent. I applied to the 2023-2024 intake. I was working and was really passionate about data and studying in the UK. The admission process took around 3 months . Month 1 – filling the application End of month 1—shortlisted and started to fill and upload the documents in their website Month 2 – paying the deposit amount Month 3—offered me a CAS letter to apply for the VISA....Read More

I applied to a total of 8 Russell group universities. 1. University of Sheffield - Confirmed Admission (accepted) 2. University of Leeds - Confirmed Admission 3. University of Southampton - Confirmed Admission 4. University of Birmingham - Confirmed Admission 5. Strathclyde Business School - Confirmed Admission 6. University of Exeter - Confirmed Admission 7. University of York - Confirmed Admission 8. Newcastle University- Confirmed Admission I chose University of Sheffield over the other universities was due to 2 reasons. First was that I really liked the course here and it was my top two choices in the entire list. Second reason was mostly the timing of the offer. This was the first offer. I received and being high up on my preference list, I decided not to extend my decision period for the other offer and accept it. Most of the other universities confirmed my offer quite late. I applied to the September 2023 intake pursue my masters right after completing my bachelors. The admission process was quite smooth and quick. I applied to the university in December and received my offer by the third week of January. Initially, I was provided a conditional offer as I was still completing my bachelors and I received an unconditional offer and CAS within a week of submitting my graduation transcript....Read More
