B.C.S from The University Of Manchester, Manchester - Fees & Admission Details 2025

• 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.

• 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. 

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• In the UK, the university does NOT guarantee a full-time job. However, the student centre in the university helps you to polish your CV or cover letter, recommend new skills, etc.
• But if you are highly inclined towards getting a job, I would recommend a 2-year Industrial master’s degree in the UK wherein you are forced to work in a relevant industry for the second year of your master's degree, and the University helps you in it!
• Moreover, now with 2 years post-work visa, there are significant chances that you will continue with your job in the 2 years Industrial master’s degree case after degree completion. However, if you are looking for a job with a year Master’s degree, it is possible but you have to keep applying for a longer period of time in the industry of your interest.

• I was living on campus which I found-out later is slightly more expensive than living off campus by renting a place.
• The monthly rent was about 560 pounds while living on campus and the facilities includes, a pub and sports complex (gym, squash and table tennis area) as well as a laundromat.
• Since this was on-campus, I didn't face any challenges in finding the accommodation.
• Future students should check sites like sparerooms and similar such sites because living off-campus is way more economical and would also expose you to a regular life in the country rather than living on campus which in a way shields you from it.
• Since I was living on campus the accommodation was right next to the university and was 3-4 minutes walking distance; most Indian students were living in the same campus accommodation.

I chose this university as it has the course I wanted, and it one of the recognised university and is cheaper to live in Manchester than any of the London universities or Edinburgh. It is also a very inclusive city, so it was a win-win in my books.
