What Students Say
Likes
- GOOD AND VERY BIG CAMPUS
- GOOD NUMBER OF INDIAN STUDENTS
- THE COURSE STRUCTURE WAS RELEVANT
Dislikes
- Extra charges for every small things even for sports membership
- Only 3 days a week classes making it very boring other days
- Some professors didn’t care, only used to read PPT
Course Curriculum
- Course was moderate, not too hard not too easy. Mostly practical, had to do presentations, case studies, real-world assignments. No just learn-theory-and-write type work. Some professors really good, focused on practical learning, some just read PPTs and left.
- Class schedule was random, sometimes 9-11 AM, sometimes 2-4 PM, only 3 days a week. So lot of free time but also less academic pressure.
- Batch was small, around 50 students in my class since it was an Advanced Marketing course. Out of them, 35 were Indians, so never felt alone. Networking easy, but placement support zero, had to find jobs totally on own.
Admission Experience
-
All the colleges I applied to offered me admission.
-
I received confirmed admissions from the University of Birmingham, University of Sheffield, Aston University, and the University of Manchester.
-
No, I was accepted into all the universities I applied to.
-
Since I didn’t face any rejections, I believe my strong academic background (9.3 CGPA in my bachelor's) and a well-crafted Statement of Purpose (SOP) played a significant role in securing admissions.
-
Chose this university because fees was lower compared to others since I got a £5000 scholarship for having 9+ CGPA. Also, Liverpool is one of the best student cities in the UK, affordable and good for networking. Another reason was fewer study days, only 3 days a week, so had time to explore, work part-time, and gain experience. Course modules were good, especially analytics and real-world case studies
-
I applied for September 2023 intake. Bcoz it’s the main one, more courses, more people, better chances for jobs and scholarships. Also, just wanted to start soon n not wait for next one.
-
Admission process took 4-6 months, felt like forever. Applied in March 2023, got offer in April. But then, had to wait so long for my bachelor’s provisional degree, which delayed everything. Had to do financial docs, CAS, all this stuff, took time. Finally, I applied for a visa in August, got in 10 days.
-
Atleast that part was quick. No exams, no interviews, just SOP, academics, IELTS and experience.
-
Simple. But waiting for everything, it was annoying. And then, course was just 1 year, so went
very fast.
Faculty
- Had 6 faculty for 6 modules, so decent ratio. But interaction depends on students, professors share free time after class for doubts, but not many use it. Teaching was mixed. Some were great, focused on practical learning, real-world applications. Others just read PPTs and left, no engagement. Course was okayish but not much job preparation, had to figure things out myself.
- Some faculty helped with job search, but had to keep asking them. No easy guidance, UK job The market is very tough for Indians as freshers.
- Fav professor was Mohammad, director of Advanced Marketing, helped in dissertation, he always replied to me fast and was very supportive.
Got distinction because of his help.
Campus Life
- University has multiple campuses based on departments, mine was in the management school since I was in marketing. Campus had all basic facilities like library, study spaces, sports centers, gym, and medical services but gym and swimming pool needed extra payment.
- Events and clubs were handled by the Guild, which is the main student body, they organized fests, networking events, and activities.
- There were many societies to join, but I didn’t participate much since the course was only one year and time went fast. Most people doing bachelor’s got involved in events, but for master’s students, with part-time jobs and studies, there wasn’t much time for these things.
Part Time Jobs
- There are good part-time opportunities available if u are keen to work hard. U will have to edit your resume according to the job description, add some experiences and then apply or else also can to go to city center to give a physical CV. There are always opportunities available in football clubs. As they have matches. Also there are agencies which give u work some of the best are HAP, racing course, mint, etc.
- Most Of the Indian students prefer working part time in agencies because it is a 0 hours contract and you can choose whenever a shift is available if u want to go or not. Pay is also very good in them and shifts are longer. Work is also less compared to other. Some of my friends also did in primark so apply as much as u can as u never know when u get a “yes” Hourly pay is around £11, which is the UK minimum wage.
Placement
- The full-time job opportunities available after completing my course is very less for students who have to take a visa. As companies prefer less candidates who require sponsored visas.
- Experience is a must if you still want to acquire a full time opportunity. You will have to work very hard and keep applying aggressively.
- Average salary after graduation ranges from £25000 to £35000 per year depending on the industry. Very few major companies hire
international students directly, competition is tough, and job market is not easy.
Accommodation
- I opted for a private off campus accommodation 15mins walking from uni of liverpool. It was a true student. One of the best accommodations and has branches all over uk in every city.
- Totally worth the price compared to on campus accompanied as they are highly priced and less amenities when compared to the off campus ones. Even all of my friends took off campus accommodation only.
Exams
- No exams needed except IELTS, got 8 in that. No GMAT, GRE, SAT for my course. Just needed good academics, SOP, and experience.
- Documents - Basic stuff – SOP, LORs, transcripts, CV, passport, proof of funds. No interview at all, they just check academics and documents.
- Applied in March, got offer in April, but had to wait long for bachelor’s provisional degree, delayed visa process. Once CAS came, applied for visa in August, got it in 10 days. That was fast, but rest was so much rest waiting. Whole process took 4-6 months
Fees
-
The total tuition fee for my course was £25,000, but I received a £5,000 scholarship, reducing my final tuition cost to £20,000. The university allows students to pay their fees in two installments—one in September and the other in March. Since I opted for private accommodation, my hostel charges were separate from the university.
-
The fees at the university are charged semester-wise, meaning students make payments twice a year. This structure provides some flexibility instead of paying the entire amount upfront.
-
Regarding my monthly expenses, I spent around £200 per month on groceries and other essentials. My rent was approximately £500 per month, bringing my total monthly living expenses to around £700.
-
This estimate includes basic necessities like food, accommodation, and regular expenses but may vary depending on personal lifestyle and spending habits.
Scholarship
- Yes, there are scholarships available. I got two, one was a £2500 scholarship for being an Indian student, and the other was a £2500 Bright
- Student Scholarship for having more than 75% in my bachelor’s. Some batchmates got the Vice Chancellor’s Scholarship, which covered 50% of fees, but it was based on SOP, academics, and some luck. No separate application needed, if selected, you get an email.
