1952 saw the opening of a new Technical College in Hatfield, built
on land donated by Alan S Butler, Chairman of the de Havilland
Aircraft Company. With its roots in Britain's pioneering
aeronautical industry, the College was soon established as an
innovative force in education. Having been at the forefront of
developing new subjects such as Computer Science, it evolved
continually, being redesignated as Hatfield Polytechnic in 1969 and
becoming the University of Hertfordshire in 1992. The institution
has been forged over time out of its Hertfordshire-wide constituent
colleges and campuses, which were variously founded to offer
training and inspiration in teaching, medicine, the arts, business,
science and the humanities. Now the University of Hertfordshire has
become an internationally recognised leader in both research and
teaching, exemplifying what a university can achieve through
embracing a broad curriculum. This is the history of the University
of Hertfordshire, relating the challenges and achievements of sixty
years in further and higher education. At the same time, through
its focus on a single institution, the book illustrates the
importance of the post-1992 higher education sector in advancing
the knowledge economy and cultural life of the country. The
University has both been shaped by and has informed government
policy as it has developed and it now takes its place in an
international context as part of the global education system.
Founded on principles of widening participation in higher
education, in its sixtieth year the University celebrates the
life-changing experience of education and its great cultural,
social and economic value. Through the stories and memories of
individual students and members of staff, the book also illuminates
the experience of the hundreds of thousands of students who have
graduated, and the contribution of academic and professional staff
in making the College, Polytechnic and University a success. Over
the decades there has been continuous growth and development - and,
always, a vibrant culture of learning. Looking forward, the book
explores how the University of Hertfordshire is drawing upon its
heritage to shape its future.
