Undergraduate Fees


As undergraduate tuition fees continue to be a hot topic in the media, the University of Hertfordshire has confirmed its intention to set a fee of more than £6,000 for its undergraduate programmes in 2012/13. The University is proposing a range of fees up to £8,500 with an average fee of around £7,500. The fee proposals, which have been approved by the University’s Board of Governors, are subject to formal approval by the Office for Fair Access (OFFA). In determining its fee proposals for 2012, the University has been guided by its absolute commitment to delivering an exceptional student experience and its belief in the need to be fair and reasonable during a time of considerable economic uncertainty and significant change to the funding of Higher Education. The University believes that its fee proposals will ensure financial sustainability, whilst offering exceptional value for its students.
