Shaping the careers of tomorrow
Learning is shaped by industry. We build live projects and professional partnerships into our studies, with national recognition to match – including 1st in the UK for Animation and Game Design (Guardian University Guide, 2026), 1st for teacher training (Daily Mail University Guide, 2025) and top 5 in the UK for Social Work (Guardian University Guide, 2026).
You will learn in professional-standard facilities that reflect the environments you’ll work in. Facilities include a full-size replica Crown Court, a £100 million physics, engineering and computer science building, and – opening over the next two years – brand new purpose-built facilities to support the next generation of healthcare and medical professionals.
Partnerships play a central role throughout. They support placements, live briefs, and pro bono work, giving you direct exposure to professional environments.
Many of our courses also offer professional accreditations, ensuring your Herts degree is respected by employers worldwide and supports career progression long after graduation.

"Studying at Herts prepared me for the music industry because my module leaders were honest about the culture, the competition, and how the industry really works. I’ve worked on global projects with artists including Mark Ronson, adapting UK and US campaigns for international markets. The course didn’t just equip me for my career; it set me apart." -
"The portfolio I built at Herts is what got me my role; every brief module was different, so I developed a wide range of skills I still use every day. I handed in my final major project on Friday and started at Disney on Monday. For Marvel heroes and Spider Man to now be part of my day-to-day, it’s a ‘pinch me’ moment." -
"Since completing my Master’s, my career has taken off in ways I couldn’t have expected. I’ve not only progressed in my role but also taken part in humanitarian deployments worldwide and been awarded the British Empire Medal for my services. There was so much that inspired me about my time at Herts – the education team has extensive experience and the facilities are exceptional. Choosing to study my postgraduate degree there was a natural choice."
