Herts is a community of almost 35,000 students and 3,000 staff from over 110 countries worldwide, and the University currently stands as the fourth largest international recruiter to the UK.
Over the next five years, we will…
- continue to improve the prospective student application experience to grow our UK recruitment and regional market share
- continue to invest in our international recruitment operations and balance risk by diversifying our recruiting countries
- aim to become a top 10 Transnational Education Provider (TNE) provider focusing on building our global network of relationships and enhancing reputational measures
- build an outward looking, globally connected community to support student success and graduate outcomes
- aim to become a top 500 global university and top 50 UK university, making a positive impact in the places we operate.
What we are already doing well…
We've made huge progress in our overseas operations and are now a top 20 TNE provider in the UK with more than 15 partners across the globe and a Top 10 recruiter of international students. We've built an outward looking, globally connected community across staff, students and alumni, that share our aspiration for positive worldwide impact with over 24% of staff and students having a global experience in education, research and enterprise.
We're honoured to have received recognition from His Majesty the King for our outstanding global engagement. Sayaz Miah, our International Office Director, shares insights into the efforts that contributed to our King's Award for International Trade, recognising our consistent growth in overseas sales over the past six years.
