What students say about youth-studies

As an international student, one of the most rewarding aspects of my university experience has been the supportive and student-friendly environment. Adjusting to a new country and education system can be challenging, but the university’s approachable faculty, student services, and peer support made the transition much smoother. The staff are always willing to help, and there are numerous resources available to assist with academic, personal, and cultural adaptation. The university’s inclusivity is another key strength. It celebrates diversity and provides a space where everyone feels respected and valued, regardless of their background or nationality. This inclusive atmosphere has helped me build meaningful connections and collaborate with people from all over the world, enriching my learning and broadening my perspective. Furthermore, the welcoming and accessible environment has made a huge difference. From orientation events to student societies, there are constant efforts to make international students feel at home. The campus facilities, online learning tools, and support services are highly accessible, ensuring that all students can participate fully in academic and social activities. If I can point out something that can be improved is Food. It’s funny how something as simple as food can make such a big difference in how “at home” you feel in a new country. Encouraging more international food options on campus or hosting cultural food events could make a meaningful (and delicious!) improvement to student life.

What students say about youth-studies

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.

Best experiences are working within the kitchens amongst other culinary driven peers. The student support is good too. Things that could be better are the resources provided for culinary students as it seems to be a reoccurring issue where the isn’t enough produce to make a dish and this can be understandable at times however in order to work to the best possible ability we need the best resources and quantity too.

Honestly, this area is very safe and tranquil in comparison to the rest of Birmingham, I really feel like it allows me to focus on my studies here more. However sometimes I feel as though lecturers don’t even know what they are doing, sometimes I feel like they are just straight up reading the PowerPoint. I do make the time outside of school to learn more.

What students say about youth-studies

Best aspects: The best part of my university experience has been the supportive learning environment and practical teaching approach. The lecturers are approachable and encourage independent thinking, which has helped me improve my academic skills, especially in research and critical appraisal. Studying in a multicultural setting has also been a great experience, as it has allowed me to learn from students from different backgrounds and develop strong communication and teamwork skills. Worst aspects: The most challenging aspect has been managing time between academic deadlines and part-time work, especially during assessment periods. Adjusting to a new education system and living away from home was also difficult at the beginning. However, these challenges have helped me become more organised, resilient, and adaptable.

What students say about youth-studies

The facilities here are great, especially with the new superlab and large library. the course content is well organised and structured in an online portal, alongside useful materials making finding necessary information easy. the location of the accommodation is great too, with almost all of them being within a five minute walk of one another, right by the city centre and only 20 minutes from the main campus. the location of both feels relatively safe, and the buildings are well maintained and clean. support for students is easy to access and helps with a wide variety of needs. the student life is ok, the city is relatively small so there's only a couple clubs but with the Derbion and events organised by the union there's enough to do.

Overall, student living and studying are good at the university, but the overall support for struggling students can be lacking at times, especially with vague assignment briefs that do not describe what needs to be done well enough.
