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 TEF-Gold rated status for 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.
