• Full time opportunities are not very much available but it totally depends on the field we are applying to. Tech and IT field has a variety of openings and opportunities so they have the options to land a good one. Most people find an internship rather than a job as they are new to the UK's work culture and hence face difficulty in applying and getting a job as they don't know how to tailor a CV or cover letter. 

• I opted for off campus as there is no opportunity to work around the campus and the rents in campus are high. The monthly rents and bills will be around 500£ for off campus and 700£ for in campus so I would prefer and advise you to choose off campus accommodation. But if somebody is not looking for any jobs and they want the comfort to stay near campus then in campus housing  will be a good choice. 

• For international it is very difficult to get a full time job, if you have good communication skills and technical skills you’ll get a full time job.
• The usual way to find full time jobs is by LinkedIn, indeed and any other platforms, you get jobs by referrals.
• I’m still in my first year so I didn’t experience the placement year yet, Even my batchmates are first year we didn’t experience any.
   

• To find my first accommodation I texted to people in what’s app groups got scammed once, then I found one genuine person and found accommodation they are charging way more than the actual room cost, then after few months me and my friends went to real estate agents and took a flat for ours and we are living in it right now, initially the accommodation are hard to find.
• My recommendation is to stay in University accommodation for one year or stay in Hatfield, my accommodation is 1hr away from college in bus, there are bus facility near to me

• As after completing this degree there is a higher chance to get a managerial position or you can also apply for your own business. And you can expect minimum salary £50,000 per annum. Which is quite helpful to live a life peacefully and happily.
• I am the one, who is recently promoted as a Manager in my company at where I am working. It’s all because the course I am pursuing and my percentages.
   

• As per accommodation I am living with my father’s maternal Uncle’s son and his family here. So, I do not need to stay anywhere else, that’s true that my University is far from here around 1 hour 45 mins but it worth it.
• As in my rent I am paying for room as well as for the food as well my aunt prepares food for me. And in terms of rents, as a good relative they take less rent from me compared to others.

Firstly! I applied for admission considering the specialized program and location of the University. I got admission without any delay. Alongside the University offered an early deposit tuition fee discount. I have wasted no time and paid my initial deposit. I proceeded further to the next steps, every step was smooth, to be honest. My overall experience at the university so far has been somewhat elevated compared to my previous experiences in the UG. I have chosen to apply to this university for different reasons. Firstly the advanced learning, depth of research techniques and industry-oriented training. The knowledge and skills needed to pursue a successful career are the main factor in this process. I could share more thoughts on my experiences when I am graduating next year.

Generally in foreign countries, most of the universities do not provide any placements but they will guide us on how to build a resume, how to apply for jobs and what all job-related websites are there.

I searched about this university online before joining the university, and most people gave positive feedback about Hertfordshire University and that my course has a good scope in this university. So, that's why I chose this university. My overall experience is good.

They are great and helpful. There is a website run by the university called Handshake which helps you in your job search and gives you recommendations.

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.

Heard a lot about the placement in the University by research and from my friends who have already studied and presently studying. But, for me there are no placement for my course. The different multinational companies have already doing placement from here. We can hear those from previously studied students.

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.

Placement opportunities are provided to students from their second year. They are able to choose a placement year abroad, placement year in the UK, and are also referred to internships over summer lasting a few weeks. The university sends out lists of opportunities to apply to, being selected depends on the company applied to. Students, in second year, are also provided with a personal career adviser who helps students with their career applications and any doubts you may hold. Assessment centre experience is compulsory, where students are sent for a mock interview based on a job selected, they must submit a CV and a cover letter. They also have the chance to work in a team and solve challenges given, and are marked upon their teamwork and various other skills. This activity encourages students to build confidence and ensures they are provided with the correct guidance before stepping into the real world.

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.

During the tenure of my 3 year course, we visited 3 companies which included HS2 construction which is the construction of a railway from London to Birmingham. In terms of placements, an average amount of people accepted for placement is 5.

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.
