The University of Hertfordshire (UH) in the United Kingdom
has sparked a wave of reactions on social media following its recently-held
graduation ceremony.
The graduation ceremony of the Hertfordshire-based
institution took place on Wednesday.
Congratulations to all the graduates receiving their awards today 🎓

Checks however, showed that graduands from the department of nursing, health and well-being are predominantly Nigerians.
The department is under the school of health and social work
at the institution.
It is understood that the varsity is one of the cheapest in
the UK with its tuition said to be less than £10,000 per year for home students
and about £14,000 for international students.
Its perceived affordability makes it a coveted institution
for many Nigerians seeking to study abroad.
According to the 2022 Guardian University
Guide, the institution is ranked 90 among
universities in the UK — with Oxford University taking the first spot.
The institution was formerly known as Hatfield Polytechnic.
In 1992, it was granted university status by the British government and
subsequently renamed the University of Hertfordshire.
The graduation list has further raised concerns about the
exodus of Nigerians abroad for study and other career pursuits.
In May, Nigerians also dominated the list of graduands from the law department at
the University of Calgary (UCalgary) in Alberta, Canada.
Here are what some Nigerians had to say about the UK
varsity’s graduation list:
“List of Department of Nursing, Health and Wellbeing are all
Nigerian E be like Unilag graduation list.. it shows the massive
exodus of students who abandon the Nigerian Educational system and travel
abroad to study. Congrats to the graduates,” a Twitter user wrote.

List of students graduating from University of Hertfordshire in the UK, with a Master of Science in Nursing this week. You'd think you're in Nigeria. This is simply the complete failure of our educational system under the ruling @OfficialAPCNg.
