University of Hertfordshire rises again in league tables
The University’s notable progress means it is now ranked 67th, whilst out of 19 universities in the South East of England, Herts is listed 9th.
The latest achievement follows a series of strong performances across national league tables for Herts. Last week, the University secured a top 50 placement in the Guardian Good University Guide, ranking 48th. Earlier in the year, Herts also rose two places in the Complete University Guide and was listed 51st the Daily Mail Good University Guide.
In The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide, the University performed particularly well in areas such as teaching quality, with 85.5% of students expressing satisfaction with their learning opportunities and academic support. It also scored highly for student experience, with 83.5% of students reporting a positive experience with the overall management and resources provided. The University’s research quality was another area of strength, further reinforcing Herts’ growing reputation for academic excellence.
In its coverage about the latest league table rankings, The Times said: “Hertfordshire is rising through the ranks of our league table — up 16 places to enter the top 70 — and will open a new medical school in 2026. Its new five-year undergraduate medicine degree, initially for international students, adds to the university's strong health portfolio, which already includes nursing, midwifery and pharmacy.”
Professor Anthony Woodman, Vice-Chancellor at the University of Hertfordshire, said:
“Herts achieving such positive results across all national league tables is fantastic news for our whole community and a testament to the hard work happening across the University.
“It reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality, career-focused education, an outstanding student experience and world-leading research. These results are driven by the dedication of our staff, the ambition of our students, and the strength of our teaching and support.
“We’re proud to be a university that’s not only rising in the rankings, but rising to meet the needs of our students, our region, and the future of higher education.”
