Offered by University of Hertfordshire

The university is academically oriented and has a strong academics.

Tips: The university has an excellent program for students. The teachers take very good care of the students. The staff members are always very helpful, caring, and supportive. My teachers always give students personal attention, so everyone is always clear about their work. I never got bored or homesick while attending the University of Hertfordshire. The campus is huge and there are lots of activities to do. The university provides all the resources you need to feel at home, happy, and safe. I'm very happy with my university. I've learned a lot, and I'm very satisfied with the course and the country. I'd like to learn more in my field of study, and I feel that my university has helped me a lot.

Value for money and peaceful

Tips: Expect only Asian and South African students in the class don't expect white people to be there. Classes are different and the college feels like we are in India because most of them are Indians. Save some money like 2000 atleast and don't keep expectation that you will get a part time job right after coming here and also learn driving before coming to the UK.

Likes (Value for money): Low feels good standards people are good and they won't force you to pay the feels and you can pay in monthly instalments as well so student friendly. You will get an attempt to the failed exams. In UK your college doesn't matter only your skills will.

Dislikes (Internships): There are people to guide you in every step from cv making and consulting about career. If you have the right skills it's easy to get a job here. Do online courses as much as you can and add up to your cv. Degree is only useful if you have skills you can work in any field in the UK.

Good academics but high cost and limited job support.

Tips: Students should know that the college offers good academics but limited career support and high living costs here involve adapting to a diverse culture and a more independent lifestyle. I didn't get a scholarship. Overall, I am satisfied with the university and course but the high expenses and the job market competitiveness in the country can be challenging.

Likes (Post study jobs): There are good post-study job appointments, but limited sponsorship options. Around 2030, most sponsored jobs are junior positions with a salary package of around 30,000 Pounds, depending on the industry.

Dislikes (Value for money): The education quality as decent, but the tuition fee is a bit high compared to the facilities and resources provided. More practical exposure and Oregon update resources would better justify the cost for the overall learning experience.

Easy to access from London to university of Hertfordshire via king cross.

Tips: I didn't avail any kind of scholarship. There is always a cultural shift. When you travel from one country to another. I'm happy with my university and the course. On a scale of 5 I would rate 3.5. When you ask me about the country it's a beautiful country.

Likes (Public transportation): The campus is 45 minutes from the city. You can get halfway from campus to the city by university bus and then use national rail. It's a bit expensive when it comes to travelling from campus to the city would be around 12 two-way if I'm not wrong. Public transportation in the city is cheap.

Dislikes (Internships): You get good guidance finding internships. They help you in and out how to prepare a CV as well. In every other university, they have it on their website or an app where you can find jobs related to your field. But getting an internship, in your respective field is hard.

MSc Cyber Security with Advanced Research - Batch of 2023

Offered by University of Hertfordshire

3.8

The college is really nice and the faculty are very helpful.

Tips: The first few months are difficult, but then you get used to life socially. It is a bit difficult if you come in winter as the daylight is low and it's very quiet outside. You may feel depressed sometimes, but summers are really good, and you will love it. There is only one Indian restaurant among all the English restaurants in the area. However, there are good food options in Edgware and Watford, which are easily accessible by public transportation. St. Albans is another good option, but it is a bit more expensive. Eventually, you will get used to eating English food. Overall, I am satisfied with the country.

Likes (Part time work): You can find part-time jobs easily in local social warehouses. When you come to London, you should have a good CV. You can get a part-time job in a warehouse, and the DHL warehouse is a good option. However, be careful, as some agencies may try to deceive you.
