Good Learning Journey

The course is most aligned with what I wanted to study. It's also a Russel Group University. An IELTS score was required, but apart from that, it was only your BSc scores, statement of purpose, and letters of recommendation.x...Read More

Applied to 3 colleges, University of Nottingham, Newcastle and University College Dublin I was accepted into the first two and rejected by the third one. I had confirmation from Newcastle and was on a waitlist in Nottingham because i had to complete a few more requirements. I was rejected from University College Dublin I was not accepted because the i did not cross the cgpa threshold that university had. Chose this university because it had a higher ranking on the list of colleges in UK and it comes under Russell group which is a well-known brand. Application was pretty simple; it was an online application and there was constant communication through emails with steps to log in to their university portal and upload documents there, which were checked as and when i uploaded them. Pretty clear communication for the application process. Eligibility criteria for my course was a 6.5 cgpa or above (60% or above in my overall grades from undergrad) and a valid undergraduate degree which was in sync with the course i wanted to do and even though IELTS was not required i had given it incase any college needed it I think the application went very smoothly and i wouldn’t want any changes to it. I applied for the september intake because the course i wanted did not have a january intake in most of the colleges in the UK. I applied for all the universities in the beginning of march 2024 and received replies by the end of march itself so it was pretty fast actually. The time-taking factor was mostly the visa, because it took time to book a date, etc.  ...Read More

Admission Experience I had applied to three colleges for Masters in Management: 1) University of Nottingham 2) University of Birmingham 3) University of Exeter I received offers from University of Nottingham and University of Exeter. University of Birmingham rejected my application because I didn’t had any prior experience in management and nor had I studied management in my Bachelors. I was from Mechanical Engineering background. So they said that for Masters in Management I would need to have any one in above two things. As Nottingham University was under Russell group, I opted it. The admission process was smooth. I was sent an offer letter. Once I accepted the letter, I had to pay the deposit of £2000. Once the amount was paid, the CAS letter was generated which would be necessary for the VISA application. The rest of the fee was paid in three instalments. The eligibility criteria was to have good academic background and proficiency in English. I had given IELTS and had a score of 7. I applied for Fall intake. Most of the top ranking University has Fall intake rather than January intake. Due to certain circumstances I applied very late which was in May second week. I received my offer letter within two weeks of applying. Then once I accepted, I had to pay deposit to get the CAS letter. Once it was done, then I got the letter within few days....Read More

I applied to the following universities other than the University of Nottingham i.e. University of Kent, University of Sussex, University of Nottingham, University of Leeds, University of Coventry. I was accepted into all of the above universities but decided on Nottingham because it was ranked the highest for the course and had the best campus. I chose UoN because it had the highest potential for a scholarship and was ranked the best for the course I had chosen among the other universities that I applied to. The admission process was simple—I filled out the application form, which included my information and a statement of purpose. Additionally, I had to submit my transcripts of my undergraduate university grades and two letters of recommendation from my professors at the time . After this, I patiently waited for my offer letter, which was conditional on my receiving a merit grade in my degree. The eligibility criteria are a minimum 6 score on IELTS, 65 in PTE and 80 in TOEFL . I scored 98 on Toefl. The overall admission process was very smooth and normal and I do not recall facing any specific challenges or hardship. I applied for the September 2023 intake . Several factors influenced my decision, including the start dates of the course, and the start date of my accommodation.The admission process took a couple months. I submitted my application in October of 2022 and received my acceptance in December. After this I started preparing for my scholarship application which I submitted in may and got the results in June. After this I applied for my accommodation and visa in the month of July which I got in September....Read More

I applied for the following universities: Loughborough University – Admitted However, it was very expensive as compared to The University of Nottingham. Also, Nottingham was a far more student-friendly place. It is also at a very central location. Even the stay was cheaper. Not to forget the cost of living in terms of the daily expenses. The cost of living in Nottingham is not very high as compared to other universities. It is a student-friendly place. Lidl is not too far from the campus, which is very pocket friendly . They also had the course that I wanted, as I wanted to persue Entrepreneurship and specialise in Sustainability. London was very expensive but Nottingham is a very central location. The 2017 intake was the one I applied to, and the factors that influenced my decision were the cost, my parents' preference and the subjects offered. The admission process took 6 months . A detailed timeline from application to acceptance is the following: The Application was in the month of January 2017. The Acceptance was in the month of June 2017....Read More

I applied for 2 colleges in Ireland and one in the United Kingdom. I applied to a university college cork , I got offers letter and also a scholarship but I took it down because the visa process was complicated . University college Dublin I got a conditional offer as my IELTS score was 6.5 and I needed 7.5  , they told me to do my English test again which I didn’t want to take so declined the offer.  For university of Nottingham I got an offer. I took it as visa process was easy for uk .  I chose the University of Nottingham because it was the only college who has a management module for a food degree. With My 12th std English score and IELTS 6.5 I got offers for Nottingham. Only drawback was communication as I used to not get reply to my email quick . I didn’t got accommodation . Big draw back was communication problem from university. I got accommodation when I reached the university. I feel there was no middle person from India to guide. So process was quite challenging. I applied for September intake . My admission process took around 3 months . I got offers letter in one month . Then I made an initial payment to secure my admission. Once my payment was done I got my offer letter then I applied to the loans to get my sanction. Then I had submit my loan sanction letter then I got my letter which I later used for my visa process. I got my visa within 15 days . The process of visa was smooth . ...Read More

I applied to only 4 university University of Manchester (Rejected) University of Leeds (Shortlisted) University of Nottingham (Admitted) University of Southampton (Shortlisted) I got acceptance from Leeds, Southampton, and Nottingham. Not sure why I got a rejection, even in the mail I received they mentioned that there were better candidates. One reason I can think of could be due to the course I applied. I applied for data science and rest it was computer science. I made all my applications in December 2019 and Nottingham was 1st to respond. I waited until March end but went for Nottingham. I could have gone to any university between Leeds, Southampton, and Nottingham but I received the confirmation from Leeds and Southampton quite late. After I accepted the offer letter, I was asked to deposit 2000£ for the CAS letter. The CAS letter is the most important thing for filling out visa applications or loan applications. I didn't apply for a loan, so not sure about the loan process. I applied for my visa in June 2022 after I got my CAS letter, the visa process was simple so nothing to tell much about it. There were no such major eligibility criteria, they only required at least 6.5 band in IELTS that's it. It was really simple for me because of my counsellor who did all the things on my behalf. I was never worried about the application process or visa, because she made it really simple for me. I applied for the September intake (September 2022). There was no such influencing factor, It's because my course was offered in September intake. I made my application in December 2019 and got my offer letter in Feb 2022. After that, I was given 30 days to pay a 2000£ deposit for the CAS letter. And I received my CAS letter in May. I can say the whole process took 6 months....Read More
