Franchises and externally validated partners
Franchise collaborations
Franchise collaborations are where partners deliver and/or assess a degree programme that leads to a University of Hertfordshire award.
Students on a franchise programme therefore receive an award from the University of Hertfordshire.
Under franchise arrangements the degree programme provided by a partner is substantially the same as the one offered at the University (in some cases the final stage only of the programme).
The University has a number of franchise arrangements with a variety of institutions spread across the globe:
Canada
Cyprus
Greece
Hong Kong
Malaysia
Russia
Singapore
Externally validated collaborations
Externally validated collaborations are where partners deliver and/or assess a degree programme that leads to a University of Hertfordshire award.
In case of externally validated provision, the University validates a partner’s programme as being of an appropriate standard for a University award.
