“Real experiences at Westminster, Sheffield Hallam, NTU or Northampton for Digital Marketing? (international student, had visa curtailed at Huddersfield)”
Hey everyone
I'm a Nepali student planning to study Digital Marketing BA in the UK and I'd love to hear real experiences from international students not just what the university websites say.
I'm currently looking at these universities:
- University of Westminster
- Sheffield Hallam University
- Nottingham Trent University
- University of Northampton
I have a personal reason for asking. Back in 2020 I studied at the University of Huddersfield. It was during COVID and many international students including myself were failed and had to return home. It was one of the hardest experiences of my life and I don’t want to go through that again.
So my main questions are:
- How genuinely supportive is the university when you're struggling academically?
- Are lecturers/tutors accessible and helpful for international students?
- Do they give fair resit opportunities if you fail a module?
- How is the visa/immigration support team?
- Anything you wish you knew before enrolling?
Any honest feedback good or bad ,would be massively appreciated. DMs welcome too. Thanks 🙏

Digital Marketing scam degree. No jobs. Expensive way to join pizza delivery industry. If anyone has excess money why not do this degree and have enjoyable 3 years.

Have a look at who is doing those courses, is it nearly all south Asians? If it is then that's because the course holds no value in the UK and British people know not to waste their time and money on them. Those universities will keep offering useless courses because people keep paying international fees for them.

That’s the reason every British is millionaires now and people from South Asia like Neil Patel still struggling to earn😂

They're certainly making good money running those study abroad consultancies! Running one of those seems like a better return on investment than any degree these days.

You think a digital marketing degree from Westminster or Sheffield Hallam is going to turn you into Neil Patel? Seriously?

None of these offer a route to live in the UK long-term. You will, at best, find a job in a warehouse for the duration of your 18-month graduate visa and will then need to return home to Nepal. Do you understand this?
