So far everything is fine. The lecturers are really helpful and won't make you feel insecure about your knowledge. There is just some problems oh terms of timetable management, but for now everything seems great.

What students say about creative-writing

The University of Hertfordshire has great facilities, but there are quite a few unnecessary procedures that could be streamlined, such as booking appointments for even the smallest matters. My experience so far has been disappointing from an academic perspective. I was expecting better quality education, but instead, most of the lectures consist of simply reading from PowerPoint slides, and the practical sessions have been far from engaging. While I understand that self-study is important, not all students, especially international ones like myself, have prior industrial experience or expertise. It's crucial that the university recognizes this and provides clearer, more detailed information about the curriculum, how exams work, and what is expected in terms of assessments. Relying solely on self-study and putting too much responsibility on the students isn’t fair, especially when we're paying for a quality education.

What students say about creative-writing

From my opinion I would say ARU is praised for its supportive staff, modern facilities, diverse community, and strong career services. However, areas for improvement include communication responsiveness, consistency in course delivery, better promotion of extracurricular activities, and some accommodation and facility concerns. Overall, it offers a positive student experience with room for enhancement in certain aspects.

I like the green spaces. There are lots of places to study. I think the sports facilities here are excellent. I think the main building could be refurbished, especially the bathrooms in the main building.

What students say about creative-writing

As a mature student with children, studying at UCP has been both rewarding and practical. The course delivery, with lectures scheduled together over just two days, allowed me to also take a part-time job in the sector I am studying, gaining valuable experience meaning I could be ready to go in my new career upon graduation. I have met like minded students with children who offer incredible peer support and the extensive online resources that are available made it easy to study from home at any time, around my family commitments. The flexibility of support from my lecturers both in person and virtually meant I could receive feedback and assistance with assignments without always having to be on site. These approaches enabled me to balance my studies, work, and family life effectively, enabling me to gain a degree as a working parent, which initially I thought would not be possible
