University Of Northampton, Northampton Ranking 2025 from QS, THE & US NEWS

• A full-time job search needs to be started at least 6 months prior to graduating. Thanks to Covid, everything was online, which saved tons of money. Finding a part-time job amid the pandemic was a real challenge and not many end up getting a job that met their expectations. Many end up in odd jobs to pay bills and send back home.
• A starter would earn from GBP 18,000 to 21,000 in basic administrative jobs. Jobs are found through gradjob sites or through campus employability portals or word of mouth from tutors or peers. The lowest could be GBP 18,000, and the highest would be GBP 25,000 for a starter.

• I found my off-campus accommodation via the spareroom app. The entire search process was daunting, as many Asian landlords could be tricky and try to loot your money; hence, it was always advised to go via verified landlords. The key challenge was finding a guarantor in the UK and paying deposit and advance before moving to the UK, which is why it is always suggested to deal with credible landlords.
• Try to stay on campus for the initial 6 months; though its a bit expensive, it is always a safe choice.

You get all the support from university career team but students have to be forthcoming in booking sessions to have CVs reviewed and take mock interviews etc. When a student engages well and does their part, it is very much possible to get a placement. It is difficult but not impossible. I applied for over 800 roles and got through only 3 in-person interview stages but at the end of the trying process, I had a placement. So one has to be ready to endeavour.

I did my Bachelors due to course contents being offered for Marketing and I thoroughly loved the structure and the faculty. Best faculty ever. For my Masters, I came back due to an Alumni scholarship worth 50% which allowed me to resume my studies. I liked that Masters in this university comes with a placement year and I feel a placement year has multiplied the value of my course 10 fold.
