Overall
I wish I had known...
I would have studied a better programme, for instance a MBA instead of a MSc. in Manufacturing.I am not happy with the quality of the taught programme.

Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
I think English Universities see the academic experience as a business making money, they ask you for money for all the things (Imagine overseas students paying 10000 sterling pounds for the Master that later on have to pay 35 pounds for a compulsory course of the Master.It seems ridiculous,this money it is not included in the 10000 pouns, it has not style. The level of the programme is not very high.

I extremely recommend the experience of studying abroad, you meet interesting people from many countries,you are independent,you can find a job easily. The academic experience has not been very interesting and challenging for me, almost all the subjects I hd studied them during my degree.
