A global approach to studying

We are already home to nearly 4,000 international students from over 100 different countries, with our students developing the skills and experience to make a real difference in our rapidly changing world. For students wishing to earn a degree from the University of Hertfordshire by studying at one of our overseas academic partners, the University is investing in its trans-national education and supported distance learning pathways to enable international students to benefit from our teaching excellence, with partner institutions all over the world, including Europe, Asia, the Caribbean and North America.

The countries I visited were incredible and travelling to third world countries was a real eye-opener. I met amazing students from all over the world, and also many significant individuals from various international companies. The places I visited, people I met and the things I experienced were out of this world. I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.
