Likes
- The University has state of the art facilities to learn, experiment and create.
- It has good cafes within the campus to have good food and even work there. It has a wonderful gym to workout.
- The sheer diversity of the students was mesmerizing to me. We could interact and learn from people of different nationalities.
Dislikes
- We could have had a better experience if they had built a proper community where events were planned and executed. (Without charging lots of money for tickets)
- We could have benefited if the University had tie ups with Local businesses to help us find part time jobs, or even if they wrote a letter of reference.
- We could have had proper training before we applied for Jobs or before placements started.
Scholarship
- Yes, I have received a Global Student Scholarship, which you would receive if you are coming from a Non EU Country. All students from Non EU countries are automatically eligible for this.
- It was 3000 GBP, which was a substantial amount.
- Yes, all my colleagues and friends from Non EU countries have received this wonderful scholarship.
- I am not sure about The Typical amount or The average of students who receive this scholarship, as this is a Non Merit Based Scholarship and the University offers it to all students from Non EU countries.
- My Accommodation was Good. I lived in a Student Living program by NIDO. I lived in a Studio Flat on Stoddart Street. I booked it in early September, as I knew I had to show some kind of Address Proof of Where I'll be living.
- They charged around 600 GBP every month. It was a monthly deduction for 48 weeks of my stay there. It included my Studio Flat, Electricity, Water, Gym and Free pass to some Events which happened regularly.
- It is difficult to find trustworthy people to share your apartment with, so I booked a Studio for just myself and then proceeded to shift to a Sharing room after my 48 weeks in the NIDO community.
- Join in Facebook Groups of the University and try to get into Student Groups where you can post your Needs saying I need a Roommates to live with, 'I need to know more about something,' etc.
- Once you find the right info or roommates you can discuss and shift with them.
- It is less than 200 metres from my place.
Likes
- Campus is extremely huge and extremely comfortable to commute from city centre
- Faculty is amazing and language barrier (accent) did not matter much as they were easy to understand, and every professor had a different way to teach every module
- Modules covered every branch of computer science giving you idea and understandings of various fields in and within IT
Dislikes
- Since I went there in February 2020, it was not a good year to go due to Covid-19
- All classes were held online because of which we lacked exposure to college life in the UK (which we experienced only in the last Semester as restrictions were lifted)
- Schedule of Classes were a bit Chaotic as had to use online apps for the same
Scholarship
- I received a global scholarship of 3000GBP.
- Global scholarship are common in every university depending on your eligibility and IELTS score, etc.
- This 3000GBP was reduced from my 1st-year fee
- So, my total fees were 9000GBP for first year but due to the scholarship, it was changed and reflected to 3500GBP as my first-year fee's
- Many Students received this global scholarship, but there is one more additional scholarship, which is called something as Chairman scholarship, where you have to prove with a letter of why you are eligible to receive this scholarship and only very few students are given this if they become a successful applicant with a Flat 50% off on their entire course fees.
- I found my accommodation through various Facebook groups for every city in the UK, you will have many Facebook group which you can connect to and ask if anything as per your preference is available.
- I also used LinkedIn to connect to active Students so you can contact them more professionally about the same
They will guide you through multiple people (or friends) who has a room empty or are going to shift to a new house and need one more person to fill in!!!! - NEVER ever pay for accommodations well in advance just to get a place booked and there are a lot of scammers in the country, including Indians too, to get your money and ghost you!!!!
- Always reach the country 10-15 days in advance, book a hotel room for those many days or Air BNB and then find and search for accommodations that people recommended to you online.
