Not many universities in the UK gave me the option to pursue a dual-subject master's degree. I either had the option to pursue strategic Advertising or Mass Communications. However, at UOG I was offered an offer for Strategic Advertising along with Marketing Communications which gave me overall exposure to branding, strategy and Business Development.
Course Curriculum :
My course is very inclusive, we had courses that are updated as per current trends as well as subjects that are classic and the basis for further learning.
Exams :
- My scores: IELTS 7, Undergraduate Marks of 50% in the final year - St. Mary’s Convent High School SSC- 85% ; KJ Somaiya College of Arts and Commerce HSC - 80% Don Bosco Institute of Technology BAMMC - 89% - Requirements: Yes, I had to submit 1 SOP, 2 LORS, my Updated CV along with my Marksheets. I had no Interview round whatsoever.
Placement :
The only drawback is that there are absolutely no placements provided by the college and considering the situation of the job market in London/UK I feel it should be noted and corrected. The amount of money we invest in our education is not small and for that, I personally feel it should be considered.
Fees :
The total fees for the university was 16,000 pounds and the amount for my accommodation was another 13,000 pounds for 1 year .
Faculty :
The faculty with respect to students was commendable very inclusive and approachable. Being well-versed in English and from different nationalities make it easier for students to go to them for absolutely anything.
Campus Life :
My campus was the most beautiful campus I laid eyes on, right on the banks of the River Thames, with the best clubs allowing us to connect with like-minded individuals and also grow in our careers.
Hostel :
The accommodation I stayed in was Scape Canada Water where I paid 350 pounds a week for an ensuite with a kitchen sharing of 10 people, the connectivity to Central London was also great.
