Driving global impact through partnership and collaboration

Herts is a community of almost 34,000 students and over 3,000 staff from over 110 countries worldwide. We're honoured to have received recognition from His Majesty the King for our outstanding global engagement.

To deliver our 2030 strategy, we will…

  • grow and strengthen our global brand, reputation and engagement to support recruitment, partnerships and graduate outcomes;
  • consolidate, diversify and grow student recruitment to ensure financial sustainability and a thriving global campus community;
  • accelerate sustainable growth and income through transnational education (TNE) and high-value strategic partnerships.

How we're making progress...

We've made huge progress in our overseas operations and are now a top 20 TNE provider in the UK with more than 15 partners across the globe, and the university currently stands as one of the top recruiters of international students in the UK.

Our growing global reach is matched by a strengthening reputation in the UK; reflected in our ranking of 37th in the Guardian University Guide 2027.

We're also proud to be rated 5 Stars (Excellent) by QS Stars for outstanding teaching, employability, facilities and social impact.

We've built an outward looking, globally connected community across staff, students and alumni, that share our aspiration for positive worldwide impact with over 24% of staff and students having a global experience in education, research and enterprise.
