What students say about University of Hertfordshire

- When I was studying Automotive Engineering for the first 6 months, the subjects were similar to those in the undergraduate degree, such as Mechanics, Mathematics, and Business Computing. It was a bit easy, but I would say the curriculum was good for beginners.

- It was close to London this an optimal location for me to get the whole UK experience. Also, it had the program that I wanted, Civil Engineering.,
- it’s diverse. It allows anyone to be a part of the university regardless of their background or skin colour. The university is also welcoming which is a positive because coming from abroad to a new country it’s always important to be received warmly as it will make you more comfortable.
- Dislikes:
- It is not as active when it comes to social life. Most people are always in their rooms and there isn’t enough events to force people outside of their rooms to socialise. This is unfortunate for international students who will be coming into a new country without any friends.
It was very enlightening and gave me a chance to grow. Coming from a 3rd world country to a 1st world country is not easy but fortunately I got comfortable as time went on. I can look back and say I enjoyed my university experience as it has made me the person I am today which I am proud of.

- The academic support and the facilities provided. University of Hertfordshire designed the modules so well in order to learn the subject easily. My elder was a pass out so I was sure about my decision.
Got the University on campus accommodation for living. It's so nice. It's infrastructure and related support are good. Well arranged and organised rooms which having enough space and luxury with good privacy.

- Astrophysics is a course carried out very well at the university of Hertfordshire. Since this university has a private observatory, it allows students to engage practically and gain a vast amount of hands-on experience in understanding several concepts such as telescopes and the mechanics behind it, further in theory as well.,
- In my opinion, Astrophysics is a course carried out very well at the university of Hertfordshire. Since this university has a private observatory, it allows students to engage practically and gain a vast amount of hands-on experience in understanding several concepts such as telescopes and the mechanics behind it, further in theory as well.,
- I believe this university offers great resources for study since in the past 2 years of my degree, I have enjoyed conversing with my lecturers and always been satisfied with the support given. This university was the perfect fit for me as with a widespread campus, it also provided me with the exposure I needed to perceive astronomy in a different way. For me, the greatest and most supportive asset is Bayfordbury Observatory which has allowed me to increase my grip with multiple concepts that could have been difficult to grasp without practical support.,
- Along with receiving the correct support, this university is the perfect place to relax and spend time with friends. The campus extends on a vast area of land. Students are provided with a huge library full of resources and cafes, pubs on campus for a fun time, a canteen, subway and Starbucks for a quick lunch, active societies to engage and build your network, and the most convenient transportation with three bus stations on campus!,
- The greatest part is, this university has 2 campuses to explore, one focusing on courses such as Science, IT, media, and art, the other having courses such as, law, business, accounting and finance. There are over 550 courses to choose from at the university of Hertfordshire!
- Dislikes:
- In my opinion, this university has greater advantages than disadvantages. However, a point of improvement can be making the semesters slightly longer than they currently are. Students are provided with the correct support however having semesters which extend a maximum of 2.5 months makes it a little challenging to revise and grasp new concepts before exams.,
- For students who prefer to study before exams, it becomes difficult to master all content. So you must make sure you are up to date with all the topics introduced in classes and keep track with any deadlines for assignments. However, it becomes an advantage as students are then well focused on their studies rather than leaving it pending.,
- The campus can be introduced with a few more options for vegetarian food. There is plenty on campus however the options may feel limited sometimes. To prevent that, in Hatfield town where the university is located, there are many cuisines and restaurants to order from so you won't stay hungry!
Throughout the 2 years of my degree, I have actively participated in society events, being a member of the Indian Society. In my second year, I was given an opportunity to host a festive event on campus which was one of the greatest experiences, working with the team. Along with organising events, I have attended several exhibitions aiming to grow the society and facilitate students. Moreover, working as a helping-hand through all events hosted by the Society, I appreciated the benefit of growing as a team. Being present allowed me to grow my skillsets and expand my network across the university. In addition, in my second year I became the student representative of my course which added to my responsibilities. I had the opportunity to connect with students I normally would not engaged with, as having different modules. It has always been a pleasure to me to notice and improve situations for students that may be struggling to report their queries. As a student representative, my role was to acknowledge and address all challenges students from the course faced in order to improve the circumstances for the coming year. Fortunately having the exposure to work and engage in several university activities, I believe I would be suitable for this role and bring the relevant changes required, with the team. I believe my experiences at the university of Hertfordshire have provided the strength to increase my socialising, networking, and presentation skills.

- It was close to London and I wanted to be able to visit London once in a while, also I love creating stuff thus why I was intrigued by civil engineering.,
- It is diverse and offers opportunity to everyone regardless of their background. 60% are international students which was good for me as I was an international student from Zimbabwe who needed a chance to prove what I am capable of.
- Dislikes:
- The peer pressure. It can really only affect you if you let it, but it is hard to resist. With people having different backgrounds, you might see yourself comparing yourself to everyone and what they have which you don't. It is not a good place to be in.
It was very mind opening as I was experiencing a new culture with new people away from the people I grew up with. I enjoyed most of it but obviously got homesick most times and missed home and the food I was used. However, the university was very welcoming to international students so they made it easier fort us to be able to be integrated into the society.
I choose this University because of it reviews is good Some of my friends are there they told about the university Practical Knowledge given by university . Campus is Good . And What i want to Study My course is Available in the university.
Had the oldest computer science department in UK, with some great faculty teaching us, with relevant expertise.
I choose University of Hertfordshire due to the following reasons - • Ranking - One of the top universities in the world. • Duration - 1 year program, with same academic standards as a 2 year program. • Affordable - Not as expensive as colleges in USA or Australia. • Best for business studies - UK colleges are highly decorated for their excellence in business studies. • Practical approach - Mode of education is not only theoretical but practical as well. For example - Setting up and running a company is a part of the curriculum.
