l About 2+2 & 3+1 Programme
Hertfordshire College, CIT provides students excellent opportunities to study both in CIT and UH campuses. For students who are interested in study in the UK, you have options to transfer to University of Hertfordshire in Year 3 or Year 4 which means you will go to UK to study Level 5 or Level 6 (final year).
By doing so, you will immerse yourself in UK culture and obtain a full and special UK experience, you will experience more culture differences and explore deeper both in UK study and UK life.
The programme you transfer will be the same as the current one you study in CIT.
You can either spend one year or two years in the UK to finish your degree and make more UK local friends during this time. This is really optional, and we believe you will benefit a lot and appreciate your own decision for a lifelong time.
