Employability
The University has long-standing links with business, industry, public sector and professional organisations.
From economics to English literature, every one of Herts’ courses is designed to boost the skills employers are looking for. That’s because each school works closely with experienced business people to plan its teaching programme. For example, all Hertfordshire Business School students study modules in employability and entrepreneurship.
