YOUR STUDY OPTIONS
Explore courses at University of Hertfordshire
Start with the international course and intake page, then open the chosen undergraduate or postgraduate award. Herts distinguishes its main intake from programmes offered at other starts, so check your specific course. Foundation and pre-master’s progression through Hertfordshire International College are separate routes with their own requirements.
Select the qualification level and delivery format before comparing modules and duration. If you are considering a foundation or pre-master’s programme, check both the initial pathway and the conditions for progressing to the intended degree. Pre-sessional English is another distinct preparation option; confirm whether it is suitable for your offer.

APPLICATIONS & COSTS
Prepare your application and funding plan
Entry requirements and evidence
Herts asks international applicants to meet academic and English-language conditions and to supply the requested supporting documents. The application-requirements page explains the evidence to prepare; some courses have subject prerequisites or additional requirements. The university also provides a direct application route for international non-UCAS applicants, with guidance to read before starting.
- Choose the exact programme. Save the award, campus, study mode and intake from the official course page.
- Prepare the requested evidence. Match your qualification and English documents to the programme. Include references, a statement, portfolio or other evidence where requested.
- Check the next deadline. Track application, offer acceptance, payment and enrolment dates separately. Ask admissions to clarify any condition you cannot meet.
Fees, scholarships and education loans
Use the international scholarship and fee information together with the course page. The general fee and scholarship resources may cover applicants with different fee statuses. Confirm the tuition, deposit, payment schedule and any award conditions for your course and intake before making a financial commitment.
Build a budget covering the full period of study: tuition, rent, bills, travel and applicable visa costs. If you are considering an education loan, compare lender terms and the documents needed with your offer and funding timeline.
Keep admission, scholarship and loan decisions separate. An application or an enquiry is not confirmation of funding, and a placement option should not be treated as guaranteed employment.
STUDENT LIFE & ARRIVAL
Connect your course with the right location
College Lane and de Havilland are both in Hatfield.

Use the teaching location shown for your course and review the requirements and deadlines attached to any accommodation offer.
After an offer, follow the university’s acceptance, enrolment and arrival instructions. If you need a Student visa, use the institution’s guidance alongside GOV.UK’s Student visa information. Confirm the applicable CAS process and travel timing with the institution.
