The University of Hertfordshire in Egypt is thrilled to welcome our newest cohort of students, affectionately known as "Freshers," as they embark on their academic journey for the 2024 academic year. This year’s Induction Week, themed “Right Choice, Right Start,” aims to empower and inspire our students as they make the most of their university experience from day one.
Throughout this exciting week, Freshers engaged in a series of interactive events designed to set the foundation for a successful academic and social journey. They had the opportunity to participate in workshops, meet esteemed faculty and department heads, and attend informative sessions that provide insights into university tools, systems, and resources.
The significance of making the “right choice” was emphasized as students explored various student organizations, clubs, and societies that reflect their interests and passions. This week serves as a springboard for discovering new activities and forging connections, laying the groundwork for a vibrant and fulfilling campus life.
At UH-GAF, we believe that a comprehensive university experience goes beyond academics. The Department of Student Life played a pivotal role in fostering a nurturing environment where students can thrive personally and academically. We encourage all Freshers to embrace this transformative journey, participating actively in the diverse community that surrounds them. “Right Choice, Right Start” encapsulates our commitment to ensuring that every student is equipped with not just knowledge, but also the tools, resources, and connections necessary for a successful journey ahead.
The University of Hertfordshire in Egypt is dedicated to fostering a vibrant community and a lively environment, creating an atmosphere where students feel not just welcomed but also inspired.

The university's commitment to providing a lively environment is reflected in the diverse array of extracurricular activities, cultural events, and student-led initiatives that infuse energy and dynamism into campus life. This commitment to vibrancy ensures that students not only excel academically but also find themselves immersed in a stimulating and enriching community where learning extends beyond the classroom walls.
The Office of Student Life & Wellbeing is committed to educate, empower, develop, and support UH-GAF students’ personal growth to become well rounded citizens who are engaged globally and prepared for successful and inspiring lives after graduation.
