The University of Hertfordshire: Powering potential. Accelerating growth.

Whether it’s in learning, teaching, or business partnership, the University of Hertfordshire transforms bold ambition into life-changing reality.

Defined by the spirit of innovation and enterprise, the University of Hertfordshire has been an innovative, vocation-first educational force for more than 70 years.

From our start as a leading educator within Britain’s aeronautical industry to our extensive offering today, we have always specialised in providing the environment and expertise needed to power every kind of potential.

For our thriving community of more than 36,000 students from over 140 countries, that means high-quality teaching from experts engaged in groundbreaking research with real-world impact. Students have access to more than 550 career-focused degree options and a chance to study at more than 170 universities worldwide, using outstanding, true to life facilities. Herts is the only university to be awarded a King’s Award for Enterprise this year, recognition for how it has grown its international community, and an extensive overseas partner network delivering the University's education.

We are a university that never stands still. We champion social mobility and the drive to create personal and societal change. We celebrate those who break barriers. We nurture entrepreneurs and develop tomorrow’s leaders, innovators and trailblazers in healthcare, education, business, science, humanities, law, sport, and creative arts. We partner with key employers, professional bodies, and government to ensure we are directly responding to real-world needs. We are a catalyst for change: empowering our community to make a radical impact in the region, across the UK and around the world.

We are Herts. Herts. Beats Faster.
