Academics are experts in their field, delivering research which is having a meaningful social and environmental impact in the UK and across the globe. From safe guarding older people's food security and public health, to using a pioneering laser facility to deliver critical insights into climate, staff drive forward cutting-edge research.
The University of Hertfordshire has been an anchor institution for the regional economy and community since its beginning. Through its all-campus incubator ethos and status as a Enterprise Zone, the University gives hundreds of local businesses the support and facilities they need to learn and grow each year.

Studying with CTS is more than just acquiring education for a new job or promotion. We make leaders, innovators and adopt all students as part of our family.
Each application is considered individually, but normally 240 credits from a suitable qualification are required. Approved pre-requisite qualifications include:
Students who have completed writing all exams leading to one of the above qualifications but awaiting results may apply for the program. You will be given a provisional acceptance pending your final results.
Students are required to complete the following eight (8) modules (each worth 15 credits in total) in order to graduate with an honours degree.
Note: To complete a non-honours degree, students need only to complete any five (5) of the modules above.
There are many benefits to be derived from attaining a Bachelors degree. Research has shown that holders of a degree tend to earn more than those who don't have a degree. In fact a study done by the US Census Bureau showed that persons with a degree earns an average of 43 percent more than someone without one over the course of a lifetime. The Big Payoff: Educational Attainment and Synthetic Estimates of Work-Life Earnings.
In addition to the obvious financial benefits of earning a degree, there are also non monetary benefits to degree holders. Degree holders tend to hold higher quality jobs leading to a career rather than less fulfilling positions. The children of degree holders also benefit from their parents' academic achievement from greater parental involvement in their education. Overall graduates, tend to be a source of innovation and contribute to economic growth.
Job advertisements do not typically specify the award title but instead ask for a qualification in Business or Business related. Employers do not ask for a specific degree title. This Business Administration degree from UH has an international focus, and would enable the students to gain employment for any business from the small enterprise to the large multinational.
Except for specialist departments (such as accounting and finance) graduates are employed because of their employability skills, their understanding of Business issues and ability to learn (demonstrated by their completion of a University degree and classification). Therefore a Business Administration degree would not make you less employable than a Business Management Degree.
Typically, semesters start with an induction week, at the end of the following months:
Teaching starts one week after the induction week - The start dates may change from time to time.
