My Master's at The University of Manchester Experience

Upto date academia
Modern ambience
Various talks by professionals both in industry and academia.

Dislikes

No spoon feeding wrt to teaching
Exams structure is very different
Based on personal initiation meaning that here they don’t make you attend events or make anything compulsory. You are basically on your own when it comes to attending networking events and keep an eye out on your mails.

I just put in for university accommodations and from there the university helps you get an accommodation. So I made a mistake wrt accommodation as when you apply for that, you have with your 5 preferences based on the university accommodation and accidentally my first preference was IQ accommodation in Salford. I didn’t read the distance, which showed 40 mins from bus so I ended up there but my accommodation is really big and better than other university accommodation but since it is off campus, I won’t recommend it.

Academic journey at university of Manchester

Likes

Academic excellence- The course was intellectually rigorous, well structured , and delivered by knowledgeable faculty
World class infrastructure and learning environment
Diverse and inclusive community

Dislikes

Career support for international students
Uk weather - frequent rain and cold weather
Administrative delays specially during busy academic periods

I found my accommodation through unite student accommodation and stayed in piccadilly Manchester. The process was straightforward, but I'd highly recommend booking early because prices go up quickly as the intake approaches. Since I booked two months before the intake, and my rent was around £800 per month.

My Master's in The University of Manchester

Likes

The campus and infrastructure: It is a vastly spread campus with ample study rooms, labs, eateries and green spaces.
Ease of communication with faculty
The accommodation

Dislikes

Rigorous course: Since the course is rolled into one year, it can get difficult to keep pace with the syllabus.
A few accommodations are poorly managed.
Scholarships getting over pretty quickly.

I opted for On-campus accommodation and I loved my flat. A form is sent out to students from the university itself where we have to give our top 5 preferences for accommodation and the university will allot one at random. I luckily got my first preference. It was just a 5-minute walk to the library and about a 7-10 minute walk to the main lecture buildings.
The monthly rent was about 540 GBP which is the cheapest on campus. I have a separate bedroom to myself. The kitchen, toilet and shower rooms are shared common spaces and these spaces are cleaned by the cleaning staff twice a week. There are an iron box, kettle, fridge, oven, microwave and vacuum available in the flat. I personally did not encounter any challenges while finding or securing my accommodation because it is the one I wanted.
I stay in Whitworth Park Leamington House and this house is the most newly furnished one in this accommodation community. it is the cheapest when compared to other one-campus accommodations, and it is very close to lecture halls. I have seen many Indians choose the accommodation I have chosen, purely because of the above-mentioned reasons. But a few students go for private accommodations or a little far off campus if they have more funds with them.
If your budget is small and you want one close to campus and do not mind a shared toilet/bathroom, then I definitely recommend Whitworth Park, but only certain flats are good (a few very old flats are in bad condition), so please check pictures before giving this one as a preference.

My Masters in The University of Manchester

Likes

Inclusivity-- The environment is very inclusive and welcoming so one doesn't feel left out.
Diversity-- People of all backgrounds and ethnicities come together to study and it helps create a wonderful experience.
Support-- The professors, faculty and admin really go to great lengths to help and support you with whatever you may need.

Dislikes

I haven't found the course to be as extensive as i had expected it to be.
The careers' service is a bit partial towards business courses and doesn't represent arts courses much.
The assessment and feedback is quite rushed into the semester, so it can feel very quick at times.

I found my accommodation through the sanctuary students website with the help of my consultants at TFM Overseas Education Consultants.
My monthly rent is 848 pounds, and we have all bills included along with free Wi-Fi. We have to pay for our laundry separately at the accommodation itself.
I found it difficult to pay the entire rent at one go
I would suggest looking for co-living flats if you want to go for something more affordable. But if your budget is comfortable, go for student accommodation.
It was only a 10 minute walk. Most indian students stay in student accommodations near the campus or in salford apartments.

PROS AND CONS FOR The University of Manchester!

Likes

Inclusivity of all international students
Regular student’s union activities
Sportcipate - an initiative to make sports inclusive for all

Dislikes

I don't think I'm unhappy with anything on campus The commute to university can be a task I really cannot think of anything else

Off campus. Near City centre.
I used UniAcco but I would advise students to simply go to the website of the accommodation site and book it directly because agencies take a fee of 100 pounds which is so not worth it.
235 per week rent.
Getting uni accommodation is the best, it is way cheaper, starting around 150 i guess. It's best to stay there.

MSc Aerospace Engineering Experience

Likes

Campus infrastructure, Weekly Tutorial Sessions, Wonderful lecture delivery
Nancy Rothwell Building (Formerly Engineering Building A)- home to Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering
Collaboration with top Industry players

Dislikes

The process throughout was very smooth and responsive- nothing to dislike
The lecture delivery was great- no complains
Well maintained classrooms, facilities- full points

I searched through local agents. This can be considered cost-effective as compared to on-campus accommodation. The only drawback of staying off campus is that you don't make friends easily, which can make you feel home-sick at times. I have seen a lot of students staying on campus being more involved in groups.

Review of UK by an Indian student

Likes

Research based exams and students should read and understand varied research papers about their topics to excel in their course.
Accessible software such as Bloomberg, STATA available for student use.
Lecture podcasts and help is available for students

Dislikes

Once you are finalized with the subjects/project topics, its nearly impossible to get it changed after the deadline.
For international students, its harder to adjust to the study patern of the university, as it is more research based.
Tuition fee is quite high as a student

I searched for the accommodations months in advance and I emphasise the need for students to book their accommodations as early as possible. Because as time runs short, the prices skyrocket. Also, the location of accommodation matters a lot—how close it is to the university, the closest market and bus stations, etc.

CAMPUS BUZZ : The University of Manchester

Likes

There were so many memorable and enjoyable events throughout my college life. Though covid really made it all to make it sufferable but I'm sure if that never happened then these years would've been even better infinitely which sucks honestly.
I am an engineering student so idk about other majors like arts or business (Though they do seem to have no work at all) but the curriculum here is mostly hands on-experience, reports, experiments, labs, workshops, projects, and group/team work related events and stuff which is very exciting and make sure you never miss on those. It's something quite unique that I am very sure the Indian curriculum never taps our students' potential on. Though at the end there is always a theory exam which has 80% weightage but that's a given.
Since it's a foreign university, you'll get to meet lots of people from all the countries over the world and you'll be able to learn a lot from them because it's basically a different perspective of how they grew up. Make sure you make lots of friends!!

Dislikes

I'll say things I disliked in general because it's not really college alone but the situation as an International student altogether: It's expensive. As an Indian I know you guys understand me the most that living in the UK or anywhere in the world as an international student is quite expensive. Even if you think you can get a part-time job (hard to immediately get as an international) to offset some of your personal expenses. It's not always feasible because you gotta balance your studies and social life as well and to have it three ways with work when you'll be having constant deadlines it will be very tough. So when you choose a foreign university make sure you're ready to empty your pockets which honestly sucks but such is life.
I'd say Indian food is best so you always miss home food. Whenever I come back home I just bulk up as much with no questions asked. Food is something which generally sucks in the UK so it might be a UK thing lol.
Getting a job as an International student is a nightmare. This thing might come as a shock but this was something which shocked me as well. TBF i've seen dumb people get hired more often than smart ones so it might be the job market or companies fault but I'd say this yeah studying in foreign university increases your employability worth but its not certain and you will like me and many others will struggle whether to get part time or full time job. Though Ivy leagues are different but then again USA best country raaaahh so companies prefer them in general.

I chose university's owned student accommodation (which was on their website) so that I could make new friends asap and it's close to the uni as well. Yearly rent was around 7000 pounds/year but it depends on the city and university so make sure you do your research.
No challenges when finding accommodation in general because you're the one paying for services. You get wifi and all facilities like laundry and stuff.
I'd recommend getting student accommodation if possible so that you can party all weekend with friends or else you'll be surrounded by old people if you go off-campus non-student accommodation lol. Trust me, I know I've been there. They're cheapest and provide security as well and are honestly quite well maintained so you won't have to worry about your living and can focus entirely on studies.

Location- close to city center Faculty - Highly qualified and experienced
The accepting environment for people from all backgrounds, races.

Dislikes

Very active in 1st sem, very low energy and activities in 2nd and 3rd sem.
Very large campus- makes it difficult to commute within the campus.
Food at cafe - very average in taste

You can get university accommodation through the university portal. Rent would be 187£ /week for 51 weeks for a silver ensuite bedroom. The room has 3/4 size bed, ensuite washroom, study desk, shared kitchen and communal area. There is 24/7 security and reception, secure entry and exit, recreational facilities.
I would recommend every student to check the BUS CONNECTIVITY from their accommodation to the university, before finalizing their accommodation in Manchester. Areas like george kenyon hall, fallowfield area, wilmslow road area and city center, are best for traveling and transport, throughout the city at all times of the day. Extremely good connectivity.
My accommodation was 25 mins walk from university.
Indian students are residing in all parts of the city.

Great resources for research
Excellent professors who have great experience
Vast campus and modern infrastructure

Dislikes

Fee structure is very expensive for Indians
The weather in the country is very cold and rainy
No placement cell for helping with the job post completion of the course

I opted for a private accommodation as I wanted a spacious room, my rent was 750 pounds per month which is standard in Manchester, it is more expensive if you have to live in London, I booked the room through an app and didn't need any channels for it, there are a lot of challenges which you will face when you're moving to UK the first and obvious one is that the weather is too cold and you'll need time to get used to it.
My room was close to university it was a 15-20 minutes walk.
