Outreach Enquiries Frequently Asked Questions

EMMA BARTLETT

Outreach and Student Recruitment Manager

I oversee Hartpury’s outreach and recruitment to ensure we engage with a wide range of students from schools, colleges and training providers across the UK. With the support of the two Outreach Officers, I ensure the successful delivery of all innovative activities and organise our calendar of events whilst building relationships with those providers. This includes UCAS fairs, subject enrichment activities, taster days, campus tours and industry/sector events. I also manage Hartpury’s involvement in our NCOP funded partnership, GROWs, working with other local education providers and schools to increase student progression to higher education.

FREYA HEATH

Outreach Officer - Student Recruitment

I work with various schools across the UK, offering insight into life at Hartpury and the courses available, as well as answering any questions a prospective student or parent may have about their next steps. I represent Hartpury at a variety of events, including UCAS Fairs, career fairs and mock interviews, as well as arranging individual campus tours and taster days on campus. I also manage the student ambassador scheme, which aims to ensure that we can offer a “student perspective” throughout our events. I was a Hartpury University student myself, thoroughly enjoying my time, so I love to go out and share my own experiences and knowledge of student life here.

ANDREW GRAHAM

Senior Outreach Officer - Widening Participation

I work with local schools delivering activities aimed at encouraging young people to find out more about higher education. This includes working with under-represented students and supporting them to consider higher education as a future option.  I deliver events both on-campus and in the local community, including workshops, presentations and interactive information sessions. I also represent Hartpury at career fairs, parent’s evenings and UCAS events.

Student Ambassadors

We have a diverse and experienced team of student ambassadors, both college and university, who work closely with the outreach team and support a number of events throughout the year. These include campus tours and open events, career fairs, workshops and presentations at local schools and colleges, and UCAS fairs.

We believe students should be at the heart of everything and you will be able to hear first-hand from their experiences including what it’s like to study and live at Hartpury.

Why be a Student Ambassador?

"The student ambassador scheme was recommended as part of the Advantage Scheme for second year college students. After nearly two years of being an ambassador, I can say I have learned a variety of skills and my confidence has improved dramatically. I like being an ambassador because you get to work with people all around campus, from different degrees and courses, and learn more about the university and college that you study at yourself. It's always fun to know a random fact or two"

Bethan, Animal student

Why be a Student Ambassador?

"I decided to become a student ambassador for two main reasons. One of them was I wanted to gain confidence - when I first started at Hartpury, I was really shy and struggled to communicate so I thought being a student ambassador would be the perfect opportunity to get myself out there. The second one was that I wanted to show people that their dream career was possible at Hartpury and that studying here can do so much for them. I love being a student ambassador. It is such a rewarding experience and a great opportunity to meet new people."

Martyna, Equine Student

Subject Outreach Coordinators

We also have the support of four specialist outreach coordinators who can provide sessions in their subject area to allow students to experience University facilities, subject lessons and be taught by academic lecturers. As an institution, we are passionate about advancing awareness of environmental, life and social sciences through our distinct subject areas: Animal Science, Agriculture, Equine and Sport.
