About the University of Hertfordshire
Set across two campuses and our Bayfordbury Observatory, less than 20 miles north of London, we are a thriving community of just under 32,000 students studying over 550 undergraduate, postgraduate and research degrees in the UK. We also have more than 6,500 students on courses outside the UK through international partnerships and franchise arrangements. We have approximately 3,000 staff members across the group and a turnover of £340 million. Over 50% of our students are female, 65% are Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic and 36% are the first in their family to go to university. Our students are taught by lecturers with a wealth of experience, both in academic settings and across a breadth of industries. Their expertise, connections and supportive approach equip students with the right skills and confidence to thrive in their future careers. The University of Hertfordshire is committed to having a positive transformational impact on every member of our community. This is reflected in our vision to transform lives by finding, inspiring and powering potential, giving everyone the opportunity to succeed regardless of their role, background or where they are from.
