The city is fantastic, the big life, culture and people make it a very welcoming and made me feel instantly at home. The campus is great and easy to navigate. However, to improve the student support needs to be so much better, it is very hard to get ahold of the right people which makes students like myself try go through situations by themselves as it feels like the university doesn’t care. But when you do get ahold of them they can help but the task to get them is too difficult.

Hello, I am a 3rd-year Finance and Accounting International student at the University of Liverpool. Currently, doing a placement year at a prestigious accounting firm.

University experience: It was a great start to my career as UoL is one of the top-ranked Russell group universities in the UK. Firstly, as it was an undergraduate course there were not many international students for this course. Although, Professors and other peers helped me felt like a home and this boosted me in my studies. Professors are very experienced when it comes to explaining and sharing knowledge.
They always guided me in learning new topics and encouraged me to attend many events that helped me in networking with people in the accounting field.

Universities facilities: Library timings vary accordingly but you have a wide range of materials available to study and research. Staff are very helpful in terms of guiding within library activities.
University Guild- The student union is a great organisation in solving issues raised by students and not only that they always organise events according to everyone’s priority. We have many societies like Indian society, Language society, Vegan society and many more.
They always organise socials and events accordingly.

Accommodation: University accommodation is quite expensive and there are other accommodation providers who provide for a lower rate and it is quite far from the University’s location.

Career services: We all had training sessions on how to make a CV, Interview questions and Mock Interviews to make us prepared for the Placement year process. This helped me a lot to practice before my placement interview.

Overall it was a great experience and the University offers a lot for international students.
