English Literature postgraduate degrees

The student union has a Wetherspoons which is a big plus. It’s a central location which is also great and the library has everything. However the course itself is boring and very hard to be engaged with. Beyond that having attendance be mandatory is very annoying especially if you are being monitored for modules that are optional or you have no interest in and could do much better things with that free time.

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.

Cardiff Met Uni is one of the best place to study sports. They have great sports facilities and opportunity to experience being in a professional sports team. The teaching team is amazing and the program I am taking offers good qualification that will help graduate stands out from other uni. Apart from that, they offer a lot of support to the international students to settle in such as accommodation, career service, learning resources and wellbeing support.

The staff are incredible, unbelievably understanding and supportive. They want you to succeed and you can really tell. However, Lipman building is constantly broken. The top two floors have been out of service for year and now the entire building is out of commission and not expected to be back until the summer. Surely at this point just demolish the place.

My uni experience has been spectacular so far. This is because the environment is really friendly and clean. Also, the location is really close to my accomodation so this makes it really easy for me to commute to uni by walking. I've also met my success coach which he's amazing.

Sheffield in general is such a homely and friendly city which already makes the university experience amazing. However, these factors are supported by the incredible student union which is consistently offering a rage of activities, contests, events and more to ensure everyone feels involved and welcome. The standard of teaching is so high, each member of staff putting maximum effort in to support us in our studies and ensure we are coping okay with the change to independent living. I couldn't say anything bad about the University; coming here was the best decision I have made!
