University of Hertfordshire
The University of Hertfordshire (UH) is an ambitious, innovative and enterprising University with an international vision, putting students at the heart of what we do.
We aim to be a new model of a university through far-reaching engagement with business, community and international partners; shaping the future success of our graduates operating in the global environment and advancing the prosperity of our region.
Our commitment to maximising the success of our region and graduates is supported by creating direct learning partnerships between businesses and students. This establishes graduated who are able to transition from the study to work environment with relative ease and contribute immediately to their new organisation. Inviting feedback from employers on what they require from the graduate employment market plus the ongoing success of our graduates in these businesses are key measures of our success and contribution to the region.
The University is ‘business-facing and business-like’. This embedded approach to business changes the very focus of what we do and how we do it.
The breath of our experience crosses the public and private sectors, and virtually every business segment, and we are very proud of the contribution we have made to the improved performance and profitability of our clients locally, nationally and internationally. We have an enviable reputation for our business focus amongst the new universities with standards that rival many of the country’s more traditional seats of learning.
The recent merger with Exemplas, who deliver BusinessLink services in Hertfordshire, has tripled the number of services that the University can offer to business, closing the gap between what universities can offer and businesses need. This is the first time ever that the skills of a proactive business-focused organisation and the expertise of a university have been brought together under one roof.
