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.

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.

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
