The former Chancellor George Osborne approved a plan for a new University in Herefordshire in the last Budget.
A plan backed from the beginning by both Conservative councillors and Jesse Norman, the aim is to create a modern university which is closely integrated with the economy of Herefordshire, focusing on defence, engineering and other regional strengths of the area.
The end product will not only be to bring talent into the county, but also to encourage our young people to stay and settle here. Find out more on the University’s website.
