How to Apply to University of Hertfordshire Through ApplyBoard
You apply to University of Hertfordshire through the ApplyBoard platform. After reviewing your application, the institution may issue a Conditional Offer (if you still need to meet certain academic or English criteria) or an Unconditional Offer.
Note: Submission processing timelines are optimized for rapid turnaround. ApplyBoard typically reviews, verifies, and completes the submission pipeline within 3 hours of receipt. Once successfully submitted, standard university evaluation steps apply. Average turnaround time for offer letters is 7-14 working days.
Before you apply, prepare the following documents:
- Valid passport (biographical page)
- Official academic transcripts from all previously attended institutions (with certified English translations if not already in English)
- English language test results (IELTS, PTE, TOEFL) or proof of medium of instruction (if accepted)
- Personal Statement (Statement of Purpose) and academic references (if required by the program)
If successful, you will receive an offer letter. A Conditional Offer means you need to submit further documents (like final transcripts or a new IELTS score). An Unconditional Offer means you have met all academic requirements.
To accept your Unconditional Offer, you must pay the £5,000 tuition deposit. This deposit is required before the university can begin the process of issuing your CAS.
After paying your deposit and passing any required pre-CAS interviews or financial checks, University of Hertfordshire will issue your CAS. A CAS is an electronic document with a unique reference number that you must have before applying for your UK Student visa.
Use your CAS reference number to apply for your UK Student visa. Apply as early as possible after receiving your CAS. You may also need to pay the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) as part of your visa application.
