" I chose to study MSc Business with International Management because I really wanted to improve my professional skills particularly for Human Resource Management. I did research about the six core modules and the ‘Developing Global Management Competencies’ module stood out to me because it focuses on both soft skills and hard skills which are important in HRM. Soft skills such as leadership development and managerial skills. I want to experience more new things, ideas and change my life and studying here will help me do that.

" I moved to London to study MSc Cyber Security with Advanced practice because there aren’t many women working in IT. There is a demand for these skills, particularly as there is a gap in the market for this in Uzbekistan as it continues to develop.

Today, there is an increase in data flow as well as more instances of cyber hacking and someone should be able to secure your data. This course is all about learning how to protect society’s data information.

We have learned how to protect the wireless networks from threats, not only through hard skills but also through soft skills such as writing information government policies for organisations.

Everything I learn in my first year will be shown, tested and enhanced in the Advanced Practice work experience opportunity."

"The most useful aspect of my programme is the range of modules. All of the programme modules had their benefits but the first two modules which covered risk management - Information Governance and Security and Network Security - were the most useful as my current role covers this area. This programme also allowed networking amongst other professionals that work in the industry and the lecturers were extremely knowledgeable in their respective fields."*

My role, as part of the team, is to manage remote access connections, build risk mitigation strategies and ensure fault tolerance in the network."

Rent: £668.24 pm

Food: £76.30 pm

Social life: £42.30 pm

Travel: £43.20 pm

The costs highlighted above are a rough indication only and were accurate at the time of printing in April 2019 – Natwest Living Index 2018.


* £25,000 is the current figure for starting repayments and is liable to change in future. Any changes to this figure will be confirmed and communicated by Student Finance England.

Money MattersFinancial support for UK/EU studentsUndergraduate Tuition Fee Loans Tuition fee loans pay for your course and all UK/EU undergraduate students are eligible for a loan to cover the cost of these fees, regardless of your household income. Here are a few facts about how the loans work:

• The money is paid directly to the University by Student Finance England (SFE) so you don’t have to worry about it.

• Tuition fee loans incur interest at RPI + 3%.

• You don’t have to start paying back the loan until the April after you graduate and are earning over £25,000 at this time. This means that if you begin an undergraduate completion award (Top-Up) with us in September 2019, your first payment won’t be until April 2021 and only if you are earning £25,000 a year or more. Any earnings over this amount will see a 9% deduction as repayment towards your student loan.*

For more information please visit: gov.uk/student-finance

Government Loan for Postgraduate studyUK and EU students are now able to apply for a £10,609 postgraduate loan. The loan can be used to pay your course fees and help with living expenses.

If your course lasts more than a year – for example if you’re a part-time Masters student studying over two years, you can take up to £5,000 in the first year and the rest in your second year.

The repayment amount will be 6% of income above the threshold of £21,000. If you were a UK undergraduate, this is on top of the 9% you pay back on your undergraduate loan, although only on the annual income you earn over £21,000.

Terms and conditions apply and can be subject to change without notice, please visit: gov.uk/postgraduate-loan for more information.
