18
 administration, and the process of selecting recipients and distributing funds can be
demanding.
- Competition: scholarships may lead to intense competition among students,
potentially creating a stressful and high-pressure learning environment.
Budget: £1,000,000 (estimated)
3. Advertising

search for educational programs online -> increase the visibility and public awareness
of Herts in Vietnam.
- Credibility: Association with traditional media can enhance program credibility.
Disadvantages:
- Higher Costs: Traditional media advertising can be expensive.

4.4 Open representative office in Vietnam
Open counseling and representative branches in Vietnamese’s universities that have
majors related to Computer Science (Hanoi University of Science and Technology, FPT,
University of Science and Technology of Hanoi, RMIT, Ho Chi Minh City University of
Technology,...) to increase direct interaction between Herts and potential students.
Advantages:

19
 - Market Positioning: Public relations activities help Herts position ourselves in the
market of studying abroad, differentiating us from competitors and emphasizing our
strengths.
- Image enhancing: Effective public relations efforts can enhance our image by
highlighting our values, achievements and our contributions.
Disadvantages:
- Time-Consuming: Building and maintaining relationships with companies, schools,..
can be time-consuming. But the results may not be immediate, requiring long-term
commitment.
- Difficulty in Measurement: Unlike advertising, where metrics like reach and
engagement are more easily measured, PR outcomes can be challenging to quantify,
making it difficult to assess the return on investment or the effectiveness of a
campaign.
Cost: £4000 - £5000 (estimated)
5. Personal selling
5.1 Participation in Trade Fairs
- Prepare creative and interactive booths at the study abroad fairs, especially fairs
organized in Vietnam.
- The booth will have some representatives from Herts to come and answer questions
from the students participating.

students.
- Include testimonials from Vietnamese students who have previously enrolled.
Advantages:
- Customized Sales Approach: Personal selling allows for a customized and tailored
sales approach to the target students. Sales representatives can adapt their pitch based
on the individual needs and preferences of each student.
- Detailed Information Exchange: Personal selling allows for in-depth discussions
and the exchange of detailed information between the university representatives and
our potential students. This can be particularly beneficial for students who don’t have
much information about us and the program.
- Direct Interaction: Allows direct engagement with potential students, answering
queries in real-time.
Disadvantages:
- Limited Reach: Personal selling has a limited reach compared to mass marketing
methods. It may not be the most efficient strategy for reaching a large audience
quickly. Attendance is limited to those physically present, missing potential
candidates outside the event location.
- Time-Consuming: Personal selling is time-consuming, as each interaction with a
potential student requires a significant investment of time to tailor the approaches for
each individual.
- Resistance and unpleasantness from students: Some students may be resistant to
personal selling, preferring to research and make their decisions independently.
- Limited Availability: Students may not always be available or willing to engage in
face-to-face interactions with us, particularly in today's fast-paced and digital-centric
environment.
- Response: still be questionable.
Cost: Estimated cost for participation in trade fairs: £2,500 - £4,000.

20
 To implement the promotional mix strategy above, we do need to take the costs into
careful consideration and assess the marketing outcomes so that the investment will be
allocated efficiently.
Cost Considerations:
- Allocate the highest budget to online advertising due to its cost-effectiveness and
wide reach.
- Invest in trade fairs for direct interaction, but manage costs through careful planning.
- Balance traditional advertising methods with the higher cost by focusing on
high-impact placements.
Monitoring and Adjustments:
- Regularly monitor the performance of each method through using metrics such as
website traffic, application rates, and feedback from participants in events and
campaigns.
- Adjust the strategy based on the real results to ensure ultimate reach and impact
within the target students.
- Optimize the budget allocation based on the channels that yield the highest return on
investment (ROI).

SECTION XIV: MARKETING STRATEGY: DISTRIBUTION

1. Type
- The University of Hertfordshire focuses on selective distribution through
international partnerships.
- Across the world the University of Hertfordshire has education partnerships hosting
franchise courses, supported distance learning and articulation agreements, enabling
those who cannot get to the UK a chance to study a Hertfordshire course. Moreover,
there is also a series of overseas offices and in-country student recruitment specialists
who support our applicants, agents and partners.
- Available types of partnerships:
● Supported Distance Learning or Academic Support Agreement (ASA)
These agreements are made with partners who support the delivery of UH
programmes where this support is a necessary academic component of the
programme, for example; online distance learning delivery.
● Franchised and externally validated provision
A Memoranda of Agreement (MoA) is made with partners who deliver and
assess a programme leading to a UH award.
● Dual Award
Students receive a separate award from the University of Hertfordshire and the
partner institution for programmes of study which have common elements.
● Branch Campus
An extension of franchised and externally validated provision.
- Up to now, there are 16 in-country offices at 15 countries in 4 different continents

21
2. Cost
- Involved cost:
+ In country offices: offices, facilities, staff…
+ Promotion: events, fairs, funding for partners events…
+ Distance-learning support
+ Representatives (for countries that don’t have offices)
+ Discounts and scholarships for international students from partners
- Financial report of current spending for distribution targeting international students
has not been available yet. However, it can be said that this cost is relatively low
considering the fact that students can choose between studying directly at UH or
online learning through UH’s partners.
+ In the case of students studying directly at UH: There are costs for the
advertising activities provided by partners. Since the distributions here are
based on building and engaging partnerships, these costs tend to be low and
negotiable
+ In case of students studying online: There will be additional costs for facilities
provided by partners alongside advertising and promotion activities.
- In general, the cost for distribution is not a big concern. Because while the cost only
accounts for a small amount of annual spending, the income from the international
students is gradually increasing its percentage in the total. In the academic year of
2021-2022, the total tuition fee income was 235.3M, an increase of 30M (15%) from
the previous year. This was in line with increased student numbers, notable further
diversification through having extra international post-graduates fee increases.
3. The vision
- The University of Hertfordshire has a longstanding, successful history of engagement
with international partners, and has been praised for its approach towards the
extensive and complex range of collaborative partner institutions by the most recent
QAA Review. Building on the proud tradition, UH remains at the forefront of
international engagement by investing in modern, innovative and constantly evolving
partnership models around the globe.

22
 - Staying true to the vision to be internationally renowned as the UK's leading business
facing university, UH has an integrated approach towards international engagement.
This enables UH to holistically inform the current and future strategic approaches and
operationalise them effectively in a dynamic and competitive environment.

SECTION XV: BUDGETING

At the University of Hertfordshire, we're always making investments to give our
students the finest possible education. By making improvements to our campus's personnel,
structures, and amenities, we are raising student employment prospects and enhancing
educational results.
We've made investments in significant facilities over the last few years, like our
cutting-edge Learning Resources Centres (LRCs), which are available to our students
around-the-clock. We have also made investments in our world-class Institute of Sport, which
gives students the chance to gain practical experience with industry-standard equipment, and
in a state-of-the-art Enterprise Hub, where local businesses, staff, and students can
collaborate on exciting enterprise ideas and projects.
In 2024, we will launch the new School of Physics, Engineering, and Computer
Science building. It will be adaptable, multifunctional, and flexible, offering the workspace
and state-of-the-art equipment that firms, employees, and students need to operate efficiently.
Even if the cost calculation is only a relative estimate, it can still be useful in helping
us determine how much money we will need to spend. We aim to provide £675,500 towards
the enhancement of university facilities and the provision of higher-quality services, with
utilization and planning rationalized in line with the chart below.
