Word from the president
Welcome to
the University of Hertfordshire
As the President of this university, I am proud that through this unique partnership we will be delivering a comprehensive range of academic programmes in the New Administrative Capital.
Myself, and all my colleagues, are committed to ensuring our students are supported academically throughout their studies and are ideally placed to enter the workplace or continue academic study after graduation. Indeed, the University of Hertfordshire has a 96% employability rate for its graduates and so a globally recognised degree from the University of Hertfordshire hosted by GAF will be your passport to a successful future.
However, it is not all about academic performance, we want our students to have a broadly based student experience whilst at the university. Our campus includes state-of-the-art facilities for sports including a gym, tennis and soccer pitches and venues for media and the arts. In addition, we want our students to create a vibrant community both within the university and beyond. There are numerous clubs and societies available and through our student ambassadorship programme we are cementing our links with local communities. Of course, as part of the greater University of Hertfordshire student community our students will have the opportunity to broaden their horizons further.
