History

In 1951, the de Havilland company gave land in Hatfield adjoining the A1 to Hertfordshire County Council for educational use in perpetuity; the Council used this to build and operate Hatfield Technical College, which trained aerospace engineers for Hatfield's then-dominant aerospace industry. In 1967 it became an early polytechnic, The Hatfield Polytechnic. With the passage of the Further and Higher Education Act, 1992, the institution gained university status and became self-governing rather than controlled by the county council. Year 1951 (MCMLI) was a common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ... For other uses, see De Havilland (disambiguation). ...

It includes an entertainment venue featuring a nightclub for 2,000 people that will also host live concerts. Covering an area of 8,000 square metres, the Forum also has a restaurant for 350 people, plus a convenience store and coffee bar to ensure it becomes a superb new focal point for students to meet and socialise.
  • The University of Hertfordshire has invested £200 million over the last ten years developing modern facilities.
  • The 2003/04 academic year saw the opening of the £120m de Havilland campus in Hatfield complementing the existing College Lane site, providing a 21st century environment for teaching and learning.
  • The multi-award winning, Learning Resources Centre is one of the largest in Europe situated on the College Lane campus with similar high standard facilities on de Havilland. Both are open 24 hours a day, 6 days a week with long hours on weekends. They provide over 2,600 study places.
  • StudyNet, a Managed Learning Environment which provides a university wide set of systems and tools for educational delivery. The system allows learning, assessment and interaction to take place in a structured and managed way, fully integrated into and linking all university processes and systems. Facilities include access to email, discussion groups, module materials and assignments and an assignment submission point, as well as interfacing through individual profiles to university systems such as information about student services, administrative functions and social activities.
  • The new Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Postgraduate Medical School was launched in June 2005 to enhance medical provision in the region.

The general public may also ride on Uno's buses, albeit without the staff/students discount.
  • The University of Hertfordshire School of Law, is increasingly becoming recognised as one of the country's top Law Schools from a new University (post-1992). This is due to the School of Law's success in external mooting competitions, and the amount of graduates successfully entering the legal profession. In October 2005, the School of Law established its own pro bono Law Clinic which provides legal advice to the general public as well as running Street Law projects in the local and regional community to schools, colleges as well as other community groups such as the Women's Refuge. The Clinic was formally opened in June 2006 by Lord Justice Auld who presented a talk entitled 'Access to Justice via Pro Bono' [4].
