HSK student networks, events and online forum
Our HSK student networks are vibrant communities designed to bring together students from various backgrounds who share common interests and experiences.
Select to join networks or a group and we’ll add you to a group in Canvas, attend an event to meet members and participate in the online forum to get advice.
To enquire about the Neurodiversity Study Group, please contact Mariya Shabbir (m.shabbir@herts.ac.uk). To enquire about any other HSK networks, please email Shipa Begum (s.begum7@herts.ac.uk).
