Hertfordshire joins the
Santander Universities Network In December 2011 the University of Hertfordshire became part of the Santander Universities Network, which will generously fund a series of activities at the University over the next three years. Santander will be providing financial support for the University’s well-renowned entrepreneurial activities, such as funding for incubator spaces for start-up businesses, achievement awards for top students, and a contribution to support the Racing Formula Student Car and its associated engineering projects. Professor Quintin McKellar said “We are delighted to be working with such an acclaimed organisation. This donation will enable the University to present a minimum of twenty travel bursaries of £1,000.” Furthermore, Santander has pledged to assist the University in finding work placements and exchange programs for students identified under the Study and Research Abroad awards, in countries where Santander Universities is present.
