   If successful in your application, you will be expected to pay for the full cost of your travel, and then the University of Hertfordshire will reimburse you for your eligible costs.

2. What method of travel is not accepted?

   The University of Hertfordshire Applicant Day Travel Reimbursement Scheme will only cover travel by car (mileage only). Any other form of travel is not covered.

   Alternatively, we do provide a free return bus ticket on the UNO bus network for you and your guests attending the University of Hertfordshire Applicant Day. Please contact us for more information.
