  • Admissions policy

    Find out how to request a review or make a complaint in regard to admissions.

    We are committed to providing transparent information to our potential applicants to assist them when they are deciding which programme to study.

    The information published on our transparency page shows:

    • The number of applications for admission on to recognised, undergraduate higher education courses that we have received from UK domiciled applicants.
    • The number of offers we have made in relation to those applications.
    • The number of those offers accepted and the number of those who have registered with us.
    • The number of students who attained a particular degree or other academic award, or a particular level of such an award, on completion of their course with us.
    It also shows these numbers by reference to:
    • The gender of the individuals to which they relate
    • Their ethnicity
    • Their socio-economic background.

    You can read the University's admission policy in full within our Governance section.

  • Unconditional offers

    We want to have the best and brightest students from all backgrounds choosing to study with us at Herts. During the application process, our unconditional offer scheme recognises the hard work and dedication that students put into their pre-university studies.

    All applications are considered equally by our admissions team based on merit. Applicants who have the strongest academic profiles in terms of existing qualifications and predicted grades may be given an unconditional offer instead of a conditional offer. For some of our degree programmes, applicants may also have to undertake an interview or selection process.

    As requirements for specific courses differ, eligibility criteria for the unconditional offer scheme varies across departments.

    Students or education providers who would like to know more about our unconditional offer scheme can speak with our Specialist Admissions Team by contacting ask@herts.ac.uk.
