NEARLY 50 jobs are at risk at the University of Hertfordshire.
The Hatfield-based institution, which employs 2,700 people, is restructuring due to the uncertain economic climate.
Four roles will be lost in the learning and information services department, with the rest as a result of a merger between two faculties.
Vice-chancellor Professor Tim Wilson said: "Like many UK universities, we face a period of significant market uncertainty, compounded by the current economic climate.
"This restructuring offers us the opportunity to ensure we continue to be a leading business-facing university.
"Inevitably, some redundancies will be required, but equally there will be opportunities based on investments in our university's future.
