University of Hertfordshire

Here at Herts, we provide the perfect environment for you to learn, develop your skills, and, above all, have a great time. Your experience as a Herts student will be amazing, our students’ union offers over 100 special interest societies to join, where you can try everything from salsa dancing to baking or explore existing passions like anime and manga.  

For all sports enthusiasts, HertSquad offers a variety of ways to stay active. You can participate in regular Active Students events on campus and try different sports without any long-term commitment. If you’d like to compete at a higher level, you can join a sports team and represent the University in the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) leagues, competing against other universities from across the country.  

We are based across two main campuses, College Lane and de Havilland, both linked by a free 7-minute shuttle bus or just a 20-minute walk apart.  

You'll have opportunities to try new things and meet new people in recreational spaces, cafes, gyms, and shops across both campuses. Some of our students’ favourite spots include Starbucks and Subway on College Lane, and Café Ambition (which doubles as Bar Ambition) on de Havilland.  

Accommodation

Modern accommodation is available on campus, and you’ll be guaranteed a room in your first year (subject to meeting application deadlines and personal requirements). All bills are included, and you’ll have access to 24/7 support and security. It’s also a great way to make friends, experience campus life, and enjoy the ultimate student experience.
