• Although there are employment options, landing a job requires networking, project experience, internships, and personal talents. Opportunities are typically found more quickly for those who actively participate in internships and develop excellent technical abilities.

• I decided to stay off-campus mainly because it was more affordable compared to university accommodation. I share an apartment with two other students, which helps split the rent and other expenses. Living off-campus also gives me a bit more flexibility in my daily routine. I can cook my own meals and manage my schedule according to my classes and part-time work.

• I looked for accommodation mainly through online platforms, the university housing portal, and student accommodation websites. The main challenge was the high demand and limited availability of on-campus housing.
• Start searching early before the semester begins, explore both on-campus and private housing, and always check reviews or consult with the university's accommodation team for safe and reliable options.

• Full time opportunities are not very much available but it totally depends on the field we are applying to. Tech and IT field has a variety of openings and opportunities so they have the options to land a good one. Most people find an internship rather than a job as they are new to the UK's work culture and hence face difficulty in applying and getting a job as they don't know how to tailor a CV or cover letter. 

• I opted for off campus as there is no opportunity to work around the campus and the rents in campus are high. The monthly rents and bills will be around 500£ for off campus and 700£ for in campus so I would prefer and advise you to choose off campus accommodation. But if somebody is not looking for any jobs and they want the comfort to stay near campus then in campus housing  will be a good choice. 

• For international it is very difficult to get a full time job, if you have good communication skills and technical skills you’ll get a full time job.
• The usual way to find full time jobs is by LinkedIn, indeed and any other platforms, you get jobs by referrals.
• I’m still in my first year so I didn’t experience the placement year yet, Even my batchmates are first year we didn’t experience any.
   

• To find my first accommodation I texted to people in what’s app groups got scammed once, then I found one genuine person and found accommodation they are charging way more than the actual room cost, then after few months me and my friends went to real estate agents and took a flat for ours and we are living in it right now, initially the accommodation are hard to find.
• My recommendation is to stay in University accommodation for one year or stay in Hatfield, my accommodation is 1hr away from college in bus, there are bus facility near to me

• As after completing this degree there is a higher chance to get a managerial position or you can also apply for your own business. And you can expect minimum salary £50,000 per annum. Which is quite helpful to live a life peacefully and happily.
• I am the one, who is recently promoted as a Manager in my company at where I am working. It’s all because the course I am pursuing and my percentages.
   

• As per accommodation I am living with my father’s maternal Uncle’s son and his family here. So, I do not need to stay anywhere else, that’s true that my University is far from here around 1 hour 45 mins but it worth it.

Firstly! I applied for admission considering the specialized program and location of the University. I got admission without any delay. Alongside the University offered an early deposit tuition fee discount. I have wasted no time and paid my initial deposit. I proceeded further to the next steps, every step was smooth, to be honest. My overall experience at the university so far has been somewhat elevated compared to my previous experiences in the UG. I have chosen to apply to this university for different reasons. Firstly the advanced learning, depth of research techniques and industry-oriented training. The knowledge and skills needed to pursue a successful career are the main factor in this process. I could share more thoughts on my experiences when I am graduating next year.

Generally in foreign countries, most of the universities do not provide any placements but they will guide us on how to build a resume, how to apply for jobs and what all job-related websites are there.

I searched about this university online before joining the university, and most people gave positive feedback about Hertfordshire University and that my course has a good scope in this university. So, that's why I chose this university. My overall experience is good.
