UK at a Glance

When opting to study in the UK, it’s important to be certain about what you would like to pursue, as the course mix varies with institutions. Having a greater understanding will not only help you shortlist your choices but also bring in life long returns.  

For students looking at shorter durations, the UK offers one-year masters taught programs – these are compressed masters programs and are equal to typical two years’ masters available around the world. In fact, few British universities offer fast-track courses in which you can earn a master’s degree at an undergraduate level.

Scholarships

The UK is known for some of the best scholarships being offered to international students – these are offered by the universities, the government and several private trusts as well. The quantum of scholarships depends on the eligibility of a student, but I would advise the students to explore all possible options to secure a scholarship. 

Some of the popular scholarship options include:

  • Great Scholarship
  • Charles Wallace India trust
  • Hornby Scholarships
  • Commonwealth Scholarships & Fellowships Plan
  • Scotland Saltire Scholarship
  • Goa Education Trust (GET) Scholarship

Exceptional pedagogy

Students in the UK are encouraged to learn in smaller groups in addition to their classes; they are made to be part of a multi-country student group to work together on various projects and presentations. They are also encouraged to express their opinions and debate so that there is a forum to exchange ideas as well. Depending on the course program, the students have free lab access, practical workshops and work experience as part of the curriculum. Typically, the lectures include the importance of critical thinking and vigorous learning. Also, the UK universities expect a student to read ample references during their free time so that they stay well-informed in different business scenarios.

As an Indian student, you can opt for on-campus residence facility or look for an off-campus accommodation. Most universities in the UK offer Halls of residence (self-catered or full-board) for students from other countries. Living as a resident on-campus is a very affordable option, however you need to apply for it separately, and well ahead in time to secure a slot for yourself.

If you are unable to find such accommodation or wish to stay alone, you can get a space for yourself on rent in shared apartments or stay with a local British family.
