Qualifications explained

Alevel Students In Classroom

A-levels are traditional academic qualifications, ideal for students who enjoy classroom-based learning. We offer 14 A-level subjects at Hartpury. Our students study three A-levels each, with dedicated time outside their learning spent developing new expertise through enrichment activities as part of our Hartpury Certificate.

Explore A-levels

T Levels are set to become one of the main choices after GCSEs. Developed with employers and educational providers, these two-year ‘technical programmes’ give students the applied skills that industries need.

With a T Level, you’ll gain a high-quality education and heaps of practical skills. This will open a clearly defined route into further study or a skilled role within our related land-based industries.

These one-year courses combine practical and theoretical study. You'll gain a solid foundation of knowledge, ready to progress onto a Level 3 qualification.

BTEC diplomas

BTEC diplomas are specialist applied qualifications, built around specific industry-standards and linked to skills required for employment. They’re well suited to those who want a more practical learning experience.

Assessment is undertaken through coursework and exams. We offer BTEC diploma qualifications at different levels across our specialist areas of animal, agriculture, equine and sport, as well as in outdoor adventure and uniformed protective services.

The Access to Higher Education Diploma qualification prepares students aged 19 years and older for university-level study.

It’s ideal for those who would like to progress their careers through higher education, but who left school without the qualifications needed to do so. Studied across 15 hours per week, it can be combined with existing commitments.
