Talent is everywhere, but opportunity isn’t.
At Hartpury University and College, students arrive with extraordinary passion, determination and ambition. What they often lack is the financial freedom to grasp every opportunity available to them.
In recent years, we've invested £50 million to create one of the UK's leading sport and education campuses, with further growth planned as we welcome more students to our community. This is an exciting time for Hartpury, and we are committed to ensuring every student has the environment, resources and support they need to achieve their goals.
With your support, we can remove financial barriers and help our student unlock their full potential.
How you can help our students thrive
As specialists in sport, equine, agriculture, animal, veterinary nursing, business and psychology we transform passion into profession through applied, vocational learning and exceptional industry connections.
From our nine sports academies to our commercial farm and world-class training environments, we create places where potential is recognised, nurtured and realised.
Our graduates go on to reach the very top of their professions, powering local communities and national industries. This year we were named Specialist University of the Year 2026 by The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide. But continued success is not guaranteed.
To remain a beacon of excellence and opportunity, we need partners who believe in what we do. Not just for one student, but for society. With your support, we will not simply sustain our specialisms, we will elevate them. Together, we can open doors, change lives and build a future where talent, determination and ambition are given the platform they deserve.
Your generosity doesn’t just support one student; it strengthens communities, industries and the future of the professions we serve.

“Hartpury shaped who I am, on and off the pitch.”
Zoe Aldcroft, England Rugby Captain and World Rugby Player of the Year 2021
Zoe Aldcroft arrived at Hartpury with drive, talent and a dream. Through world‑class coaching, academic support and a culture that champions women’s performance sport, she developed into one of the most respected players and leaders in the global game.
Today, she inspires the next generation. But stories like Zoe’s don’t happen by accident, they happen because people believe in potential.
Your support can help the next talented young woman step onto the pitch, into the lab, onto the farm or into the workplace with confidence and purpose.
The future is here. Help us unlock it.
