The University of Hertfordshire has a remarkable history of delivering excellence in higher education. As we commemorate our 70th anniversary in the academic year 2022-23, we take pride in our immense impact on the lives of countless students, graduates, businesses, and staff who have been part of our community.
Our journey began in 1952 as a Technical College, generously provided with land by AS Butler, the Chairman of the de Havilland Aircraft company. From the outset, our focus was on industry-relevant courses, with a particular emphasis on mechanical and aeronautical engineering and the natural sciences. With strong foundations in place, we quickly expanded, becoming a Polytechnic before ultimately achieving full university status in 1992.
The legacy of our history is still evident across our de Havilland Campus, where iconic landmarks from the original de Havilland Airfield, such as the beacon and the de Havilland Goblin engine, continue to shape the character of our university. If you visited our campus today, you might witness the historic beacon illuminating the evening sky, symbolizing the significance of various important occasions celebrated by our diverse community of 32,000 students representing over 140 countries.
The University of Hertfordshire remains steadfast in its commitment to our founding principles, emphasising equipping our students with the skills and knowledge needed for successful careers. We offer more than 550 career-focused courses aligned with industry and the public sector demands. As the sole university in Hertfordshire, we are dedicated to addressing the regional skills agenda, a commitment we have upheld throughout our 70-year history.
