University of Hertfordshire Applicants 2019/20

Just accepted my unconditional offer from Herts for Marketing with digital communications for Sept 2019! Herts has been my first choice since the open day, and the perfectley specific course and modules are just fab, no way I could turn it down. Very excited to start, *only* 10 months

Ideally I'd like to get everything sorted ASAP, I'm that kind of person, so do you know when accomodation applications will be open, and how I can try snap up a parking permit?

Cheers

Thanks for the response! Is there a cost other than the bus service when leaving your car in the park and ride, or is it only intended for short stay? Ideally I’d like my car with me for easier access to part time work whilst at uni.

hi there
i was wondering what the entry requirements of 72-168 ucas points mean? Does it mean that if i get 72 points ill still get in? I was just confused because it's such a big range.
thank you

Hi all! I applied for the Physics and Astrophysics undergraduate programmes and I am waiting impatiently for updates on UCAS tracker. Mature student, coming from abroad and living permanently in the UK, hoping to study part-time here. Does anybody have any idea on how many days/hours you need to attend the campus when you study part-time at the uni of Hertfordshire?

Hi @Ravenworld,

Lovely to hear you've applied for our Physics and Astrophysics programmes. A part-time student usually has about 10 contact hours per week and it's usually possible to arrange these over 3 days so that 2 days per week are free of class contact.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Heather

Hi Heather,

Many thanks for your quick reply. Do you know the approximate hours that these 3 days would require me on campus? I am thinking on working 2 full days and maybe 3 part-time if I got accepted into your programme, but I would have to work mornings and attend the uni from 1 or 2pm onwards these days. Would that work? Again, many thanks for taking the time to reply.

I got accepted for a Computer Science course starting September 2019!

Any tips for the course?, and any ideas which laptops most useful for university students?

Hi I have received an offer to study Psychology at Herts but I'm unsure on whether I should accept it. I would like to find out more about exams in this subject as some unis only have a small percentage of the assessment being exams but here at herts exams seem to make up 50% or more of each year. I am worried that if I do not do well in them, I will not be able to do well. How much do these contribute to your final result. Also, if I fail, can I retake them. I am aiming for a first or 2:1 but I'm worried that the exams may pull me down.Thank you

I am just about to send off my UCAS application. I am applying for two courses at herts to try and boost my chances of getting in, midwifery and adult nursing. Just a few questions;

Both courses seem to have group interviews, which means everyone must have an interview at the same time? Are there set dates for these individual/group interviews? I am currently not studying in the UK so flying back for last minute interviews might be difficult.

With regards to the maths and English test, is it a test to see people’s level of knowledge, or is it an actual entrance exam? Is there a chance of not getting accepted if you don’t score high on the test? I got a B in gcse maths but I’m still nervous as maths isn’t my strong point. 😭

Sorry for all the questions 😂
Many thanks,
Maryam
