University of Bristol Placements: Job Opportunities and Salaries

• It's hard to get a job even after graduation, as the competition is high.

• There are platforms, and even the university provides facilities. Whatsapp groups are available. I paid 75000 rupees per annum but increase by 5000 every year electricity extra and water also. i took the room from a friend who was leaving.

• NO ONE IN THESE UNIVERSITIES CARED ENOUGH TO GUIDE US THROUGH THAT. Its a SHAME.

• UoB's student accommodation. I had to pay 1000 pounds per month. ensuite room, pool, and common room.

• 25 to 50% of students get a job in their first 6 months after completion of the course; it can vary depending upon the job market, as the UK job market is very volatile. 40% of students get internship opportunities, as far as I know; the rest don’t care much. This is my knowledge, btw; it can be different as well but I strongly think it's just 40%.

• Actually, the university was very helpful to students to get their accommodations sorted, but it was very competitive, as there were plenty of international students coming from across the world.
• I would recommend students start this accommodations part very early, as it is also very hard to find a place in Bristol. The monthly budget depends upon what you can afford; it varies from 650 to 1500 pounds as well.

• Well, 98 per cent of the the graduating batch secure employment within 6 months of completing the course.
• You can expect to earn about 30000 pounds after your graduation.
• So students usually apply for jobs in indeed or LinkedIn, just like part-time jobs. There are some internships that some industries do in partnership with the university; as of now, none of my batchmates have been places, some of the major companies are Leonardo uk ltd, Toshiba etc.

• So there is the university's portal to find accommodation if you want to opt in for that. you can choose from various accommodations that the university has and then you put in your preferences and they give you a decision based on that.
• My monthly rent was around 900 pounds per month and the facilities include a gym and a snooker table, there are 2 common areas where you can hang out, and there are also various events that are organised by the accommodation team.
• The accommodation process is pretty straightforward; you just put your preferences based on the places you like and that's it.
• For future students the advice i can give them is just don't look at the distances from the campus; also consider that Bristol is quite hilly so maybe you check the elevation from google maps because this happened to me. my place is around a 20 mins walk from uni but i have to climb a hill, which is a pain.
• In my accommodation there are a lot of Asians; it's called print hall. But, the students are usually evenly divided based on the preferences they like

• Less than 20% of my batch got into a full time course. Average salary would be around 50k gbp. The major source of employment are the online portals such as indeed or linkedin. 

• I found the accomadation via Univerity's housing portal.
• Month rent was 840 gbp and the room was at a 5 min walk distance from the city centre and the university.

• People in industry-related courses find it easier to get jobs and it is a major advantage if you have related work experience.
• However, it could be quite difficult depending on the job market these days. You could go without a full-time job for months and even those with full-time jobs are usually in start-ups. It depends on the job market and the above comments are in relation to the year 2024-25.

The placements are generally off-campus but there is ample support from the university in building your CV, and cover letters, and providing information on what all companies are hiring on their website. There are also companies coming with their job fairs where we can go and enquire about the job opportunities they have.

The University of Bristol was my second choice in terms of what university I should choose since it was the second best university in my course as it is very famous for engineering. I liked that it is one of the red brick universities since it is very reputed to be in the red brick universities. Moreover, it was in Bristol, which is a very beautiful place to be in. The curriculum intrigued me since all the subjects were that I wanted to study. I have a B.Tech degree in Electronics and Communication and 3.5 years of experience as a software engineer in networking. Thus, I had an interest in getting theoretical knowledge in computer networks, and I saw my curriculum matching all courses I was expecting to learn to bridge the gap between the practical and theoretical expertise that I wanted to acquire. I thus accepted my offer of admission. My overall experience at the university was more than hopeful. I got to learn so much, including studies and extracurriculars, talking to various people from all parts of the world, and living with each other with fun and laughter. People in the university being so helpful, motivating, and persuading me to reach my goal helped me reach new heights. It has built confidence in me, and it feels like a dream coming true.

There is no such placement cell in my University. We were asked to find jobs on our own, there was just a team which helped us to prepare our CVs and for our upcoming interviews.

My experience was good, overall it was worth going there, but I find that the experience counts more than the studies.

We get 2 years of placement support from university post graduation and concessions for further studies.

Having done an intensive and research driven undergrad I did not find the course academically challenging, the lectures were around the topics that I already knew, did not have much support from my dissertation mentor that affected my overall degree result. Overall the degree only seemed to equip me with the access to the UK job economy and the cost did not justify the results.
