Welcome to Hertfordshire
The University of Hertfordshire prides itself on its entrepreneurship and enterprise. This has recently been reflected by a nomination for “Outstanding Entrepreneurial University” at the latest Times Higher Education Awards. UH has been singled out for its collaborative work with businesses as well as excellent teaching and research in the prestigious awards. The winners are due to be announced at the end of November, and with three members of the teaching staff also nominated for awards, everyone at UH will be keeping an eye on the results.
New partnerships with over 40 different businesses were recently announced by the University of Hertfordshire. The partnerships mostly feature around the expansion of the University’s Degree Apprenticeship programmes, driven by increasing demand from employers. Blue-chip businesses such as Airbus and Epson are amongst those to have partnered with UH as they continue to be an increasingly key provider of Degree Apprenticeships in the East of England.
University of Hertfordshire was recognised with the top gold award for teaching excellence in the 2018 Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). As a business-minded institution, the University of Hertfordshire places a focus on providing high teaching standards through a combination of traditional academic teaching methods and digital resources. Courses are designed with the input of business professionals and are delivered by experienced, innovative staff. The strength of the teaching staff at UH was recently recognised by three individuals being nominated in the THE (Times Higher Education) Awards for their work. Namely, Theo Gilbert (Humanities department) was nominated for Most Innovative Teacher, Professor Rob Chilcott was shortlisted for Research Project of the Year: STEM Category for his work on decontamination techniques following chemical attacks, and Professor Jonathan Morris was jointly shortlisted for the Most Innovative Contribution to a Business-University Collaboration for his work with Nespresso.
There are talented and knowledgeable teaching staff across a variety of different subject areas, who are able to harness their positions to work alongside businesses and provide valuable insight to students. For example, the business school has created an innovative project, collaborating with over 20 businesses to develop strategic marketing plans with academics and students. Special effects students have worked on real-life film projects during their studies, whilst the part-time, expert lecturers are used on a number of occasions to provide extraordinary insight and inspiration to students.
