The University of Hertfordshire is a modern, employability focussed institution located just 25 minutes north of Central London with a direct link to London’s King’s Cross Station. The University holds the prestigious Gold Teaching Excellence Framework award which showcases our quality of teaching and commitment to the overall student experience of both our domestic and overseas students.

Hertfordshire is business focused which means that they embed industry knowledge throughout our whole curriculum, engage with professional bodies and support hundreds of students every year on industrial placements, which are available at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. 

This business facing approach provides students with the knowledge, practical skills and experience that employers look for, giving you the best chance of career success. Producing highly employable graduates who are in demand for their knowledge, skills and competence is a priority at the University of Hertfordshire. Their high vocational content means graduates from the University of Hertfordshire are more ‘work-ready’ than many other graduates qualified in their area of expertise. This focus has meant that 96% of Hertfordshire's graduates are in work or further study within 6 months of graduating. 

Hertfordshire is home to around 25,000 students with 5,000 of those coming from overseas. This means at any one time there can be over 90 different nationalities on campus contributing to a diverse student population and making the campuses a melting pot of different cultures and customs. Hertfordshire is proud to be home to a truly international community and invest heavily in their campus facilities so that students can call it home.

Facilities

Hertfordshire has really invested in our facilities over the past 10 years, to give students the most practical learning experience. 

Notably, there is a new 4 storey £50 million Science Building which includes a state-of-the-art simulation hospital ward and pharmacy helping to prepare the Healthcare and Pharmacy students for work by giving them practical experience. Hertfordshire is also home to one of the UK’s only replica Crown Courts which means the Law students can practice in a realistic court environment before they qualify. All of these facilities are based across two stunning campuses which means that most students are never more than 5 minutes away from their next lecture.
