The University of Hertfordshire is a university based largely in Hatfield, in the county of Hertfordshire, England, from which the university takes its name. It has more than 24,500 students. In the 2008 RAE the university was ranked 58th out of 138 UK institutions, and over 85 per cent of the submitted research was judged to be of international quality in terms of originality, significance and rigour.
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.
