Students with high employability

Producing highly employable graduates is our priority at the University of Hertfordshire. We aim to be the university of choice for employers, with graduates who are in demand for their knowledge, skills and competence.

Preparing students for work

As well as offering courses that have been designed with input from employers, we prepare our students for the world of work as part of their degree studies.

Work placements

Our placements are designed to meet the needs of students and employers. We offer short and long placements, internships and overseas work experience – and at a time when the number of student placements is falling, ours are rising.

Entrepreneurship training
