The university is worth every penny.

Tips: If the university offers placement courses, try to choose a placement-based course so you can stay in school longer. Since every course is different and you can find the same course name with different focuses, make sure you choose the best fit for you. I would suggest that you do your homework and look at the curriculum before signing up for anything. You will have one more year as a student, which means you have more time to participate in school functions and to enjoy the student life and environment.

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.

The faculty is knowledgeable and supportive, although there is room for more industry exposure.

Tips: There is no need for a cultural adjustment, as the majority of students are Indian and Asian. If you're looking to experience a new culture, it may be challenging in the UK, as you will mostly see familiar faces. Also, job opportunities after graduation are scarce.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is knowledgeable and supportive, although there is room for more industry exposure. They are approachable and open to discussions. Teaching methods include case studies, projects, and interactive approaches. The faculty has a moderate level of international diversity.

Dislikes (Public transportation): Public transportation is very costly, especially train travel. The cost makes it difficult for international students to afford, given the exchange rate. Additionally, some areas lack public transportation facilities, making travel challenging.

The technical programs are excellent, but some general courses may feel overwhelming.

Tips: Thoroughly research your chosen courses, as technical programs are excellent. Some general courses may feel overwhelming, but your course selection could significantly impact your future. Understand your motivations for pursuing this course.

Likes (Indian Food): There are many Indian restaurants and shops selling groceries, but they can be a bit pricey. Cooking for yourself is the best option, in my opinion. This allows you to control your expenses. Explore your options, as there are quality products available at cheaper prices.

Dislikes (Internships): Finding relevant internships for the field of study is challenging. The career guidance team offers minimal support for some courses, while others are very academically focused. University life will depend on the chosen course.
