M.Sc Data Science with Placement Year - Batch of 2025

3.7

Worthy and awesome experience

Tips: The academic and cultural transition at Hertfordshire was surprisingly smooth for me. The main rule to live by is simply maintaining your attendance—UH takes attendance tracking very seriously to comply with UK immigration requirements, so don't skip classes. I paid my deposit early and got the Early Bird fee reduction, which gives a nice small discount on your overall tuition. The degree itself and the teaching quality at Herts have been great. However, living in the UK comes with some mixed feelings—the recent government policy changes regarding graduate routes and work rules have made things pretty tough and stressful for international students looking past graduation.

MSc International Business with Placement Year - Batch of 2026

3.5

It's good support from faculty regarding exams and assignments.

Tips: Need to choose the program that has scope for further development and whether they have proper jobs or not if they want to settle in this place. Even if they want to go back, also, they need to have a future in the chosen subject. Do more research on the programs; never listen to consultancy people's choices.

Likes (Safety): I don't know about other places; I stay near the university. It's such a safe place even in the midnights. I'm working in a night shift; I'll come by walking from my shift at 2am, so it's completely safe. I never felt scared here, and if you have a good circle of friends, you will have some vibe with them.

Dislikes (Internships): They didn't give much information about the internships, and they asked us to find out about internships, but whereas here, for doing small part-time work, also they need a reference. We can't even get a simple part-time job without a reference, and it's very hard to intern; if we fail to get an internship, we will be moved to the research program from the placement year.

I enjoy so much while studying with different students. I learned so many new things and skills

Tips: You need to manage your studies and part-time job to balance your life. Also you can perform well in interviews so you can get a scholarship as well which is approximately 2000 pounds. And Hatfield is a nice village to live in, and also it's close to Heathrow Airport.

Likes (Safety): Because I never feel unsafe or comfortable here. Everyone is helpful. If you greet and show respect for others, then they are also willing to help you. Also, the university arranges so many functions so you can meet people from different countries and you can make new friends.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): If you got a good job that pays you good money, then by using your skills and experience, you can settle here easily. If you have good skills, then you can easily get a sponsored job, and you can set your life in a good manner and with a positive attitude. That's it.

MSc Finance and Investment Banking with Placement Year - Batch of 2026

4.0

Best campus, friendly staff, Easy access to other places in campus. Quality faculties.

Tips: Before joining, students should understand course workload, living cost, and independence required. The transition involved adapting to the UK teaching style and multicultural environment. Scholarships may be merit-based with partial fee waivers. Overall, I am satisfied with the university, course, and opportunities in the UK.

Likes (Student Life): I gave student life a 5 because the whole vibe on campus is just really well-balanced. Your days are a mix of grinding through lectures and study sessions, but there's always time to just hang out and reset with friends. Hertfordshire is great at putting things on, too—there’s constantly some sort of cultural event, random workshop, or club meetup happening. It’s super easy to get involved, meet people outside your course, and actually have a proper social life instead of just locking yourself in your room with textbooks all day.

Dislikes (Part time work): On campus part-time jobs in UK universities include library assistants, student ambassadors, research assistants, and campus support roles. Off-campus options include retail, hospitality, tutoring, and delivery jobs. Work is manageable with academics if limited to 15-20 hours/week. Average pay is around £312-315.

4.3

Good exposure and strong academics.

Tips: The majority of the study should be done yourself. Modules are way to pass one you get the pattern but that knowledge alone isn't enough to get jobs. The practical experience of working on projects is good and getting in touch with any of the professors would help later for recommendations purpose.

Likes (Value for money): The fees for the university are less for Master's courses compared to Russell group universities but the faculty is amazing and you get enough opportunities for exposure. The university is also student oriented so any issues are quickly resolve and most of the time spent there was free of stress.

Dislikes (Part time work): The average payout is a minimum wage of 12 pounds but opportunities are less. As Hatfield is a small place and not many part times jobs are available. The majority of people worked in London or Luton but commute there and Hatfield takes time and money so not worth it.
