There’s a lot of support if you’re struggling and teachers are amazing at helping with the course

Sometimes the times are iffy as I stay quite late on certain days but overall the course content is good

Love the safety and how quick security comes hen there’s trouble however the location was inconvenient as it was a very far walk at certain times

Herts has one of the best courses in the UK for film. As an American international student, the cost to study here and get to do production instead of only studies as a degree is very worth it. Herts is well placed for film as well as its just a day trip from london and in the same county as majority of the UK's production studios. The teachers here are all well educated and from industry. They make opportunities common as you regularly recive emails about new filming projects. The University also has a program called Herts Propeller Music, which is a colab between the music and film students to create live, professional music videos for real artists. Propeller gets you to learn new equipment years in advance to some fellow students if you start in year 1. The university also provides housing for all year degrees and responds regularly to any issues in flats. The flats have everything a home would need and are easy to make a home in. There are also many societies, such as Drama Society, Musical Theatre Society, Film and Television Society, and Scriptwriting Society that are well placed for developing skills outside of class while also having a social group that supports and accepts you. In terms of things to improve, the University constantly asks for feedback which occasionally gets fixed. The students union can be known to put on great events, but they also struggle to assist societies in their events or daily meetings which have to be cleared with them first. The University also has on campus clubs, such as Seventy7, the Loft, and to be soon reopened the Elehouse bar. These can be great nights out, but caution is needed if you are a woman. There have been many events of harassment, including spiking, which the event security doesnt seem to care much about. Though many students prefer the Hatfield Tap which is a bar a short walk from College Lane which tends to be much safer and holds karaoke nights on Tuesdays. Overall the University of Hertfordshire is a perfect place to study film and provides many resources. The social life and people is a good ballence for anyone and the staff on campus are all very kind and welcoming. If youre thinking about studying at the University of Hertfordshire i would greatly recommend it. Hope you find the place you're looking for.

All of the course is in person. If you live on College Lane accommodations, about a 5 minute walk. If you live on DeHaviland, about a 20 minute walk if you dont take the regular, free bus. Lecturers respond quickly, usually day of during the week or by Monday on the weekends. For a first year, you have 3 teaching days. Monday from 10 to 5 with an hour lunch break is craft skills which you learn about cameras and editing. Tuesday is production which is a specific to project based class which is normally from 11 to 1. Occasionally there are also afternoon booked meetings for production groups. Fridays are for studies which is a 9 to 12 which is a lecure and screening and an afternoon 2 hour seminar. Usually either from 12 to 2 or from 2 to 4.

Telford Court is the oldest accommodation on College Lane. It is regularly attended to if there are any issues. But its also known to be the one with the most issues. The court was built in the 90s, but has somewhat been upgraded since. The rooms are all functional but it is common to have an issue. Telford is the only flats that have keys while the rest of the accommodations on College Lane and DeHaviland have tap keys. It is the most affordable one and it is definitely worth the money as you get a double size bed, a sink, a shared bathroom, kitchen and shower, but are not far at all from classes.
