Reflections of our past and present PhD students

 “Joining Hertfordshire Business School has been one of the best decisions of my life. As an international student living alone in the UK, my supervisors are very encouraging and supportive, yet very clear in direction and guidance. My colleagues, the administration, the research resources, and the culture of conferences and seminars are making my PhD journey wonderful.” Rafia Faiz, current PhD student

“I'm very happy that I decided to do my PhD at the Hertfordshire Business School. It offers an excellent research environment that can be described by words like very friendly, professional and full of opportunities. You get all the support you need to advance your studies and your professional career. At first I was hesitating about the location but the connection to London is excellent so that you can easily live in London and study in Hatfield if you prefer!” Kaire Holts, current PhD student
