Likes
- With various buildings and campuses depending on your course, they are equipped with latest technology and systems. Labs are open 24/7
- The campus is very easily accessible, close to the city centre and student accommodations, with short bus ride/walk
- Lecturers are very welcoming and friendly, can reach out to them for feedback or doubts at any point.
Dislikes
- As the course is more practical, classes are pretty limited and only a few hours every week.
- Lecturers though knowledgeable can't help us much during group projects etc, some of them don't have practical knowledge on the softwares.
- You can mostly expect feedbacks from the lectures rather than the methods to solve a problem (depends on the area of the pipeline and the lecturer)
Course Curriculum
- The course curriculum was pretty beginner level. We started from the basics, which helped a lot of us. It was a mix of both theory and practical, but the focus was mostly on the practical aspect.
- I would say the theory parts were mostly during the beginning of the year. I liked that they focused more on the practical part, which helped us have hands-on experience with the software early on.
- There were around 90-100 students in my course but it varied in lectures/labs, as we were split into groups/combined with other courses.
- Not more than 6-7 Indian students are in my course.
Fees
- £14100 for 3 years for tuition; I got an academic excellence £1,500 scholarship in the first year only. This fee was for international students at that time.
- We also need to pay for the Health insurance, once at the beginning of joining the course – somewhere around 1 1/2 or 2 lakhs at the time I was joining
- The fees were charged at once at the beginning of every year to some international students.
- Monthly expenses vary from person to person based on their way of living. Around £600 to £900 can be expected.
