Acting postgraduate degrees in Central England

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.

The best thing for me is the student support is very good and open for help and the location for me is perfect because of where I live. I honestly don't have any complaints in terms of worst aspects of it as for me it's good

The best aspects are the staff - they're all lovely and very approachable. They respond as quickly as possible and with genuine care. The buildings and resources are all really good and I love the campuses. The worst aspects would probably be the distance between the buildings and having to travel from one campus to another at certain times or moving from one side of the campus to the complete opposite side with 5 minutes to spare.

The best is the students and the amount of resources the university provides. On the other hand, I expected a bigger workload and more classes for the price that I am paying. Since this is my first time studying something in the creative industries, I am not sure how the studies should be like, but it feels like there should be more tests inbetween the assessments and academic pressure.

The environment and atmosphere of the campus is very enjoyable and pleasant. There are many learning areas to do work and chill with friends. In my opinion, although the library is well equipped, it lacks aesthetic appeal. There could be more affordable shops to get quick snacks from.
