I recently decided to go back to university after dropping out and I am so glad I picked university of Hertfordshire the induction week was super informative and the entire teaching staff were approachable, kind and helpful with their guidance. I feel the structure of induction week and seeing how they planned out our semester and year ahead was clear and easy to understand. I feel really confident coming back to full time study and I think this course at this university will be a really strong and exciting journey. Thank you Herts! read more

The paramedic course is a hotbed of academic misconduct and under the table deals. The lecturers blatantly play favourites with students and offer unfair opportunities to those that they prefer. I would highly recommend against applying to this course as the lecturers are blatantly bigoted against both LGBTQ+ individuals and people of colour. The male lecturers also have a greatly disturbing habit of ogling female students during practical elements that require chest examinations. read more

Unfortunately, the tutors are not very supportive of students and do not listen to any problems that may occur with mentors. There is a huge problem with transphobia so definitely not the place for you if you belong to the LGBT community. read more
