UCL vs Manchester vs Warwick vs Bath vs Edinburgh for MSc Marketing — which would you pick? (Indian student, priorities listed)
Hi everyone, I am an Indian student trying to decide between five UK universities for a Master's in Marketing and would really love input from people who have studied at these places or know them well.
My offers so far:
University of Warwick — MSc Marketing
University of Bath — MSc Marketing
University of Edinburgh — MSc Marketing
University of Manchester — MSc Marketing
UCL — still waiting (MSc Marketing Science)
Background: I grew up between Nepal and India, have interned at a startup in Mumbai and a media company in Kathmandu, and my family runs an FMCG business. I want to keep my career options open after graduation — possibly working in the UK for a couple of years before eventually returning to India.
My priorities in order:
- Student life (this is the biggest one for me — I want a social, fun experience and ideally a strong Indian student community)
- Internship opportunities
- Brand reputation
- Employability in India after graduation
- Course structure and quality
- Campus experience
- Cost
Would love honest perspectives especially from people who are currently studying there or have recently graduated. Happy to answer any questions in the comments!
