We’re a big sports campus with exceptional facilities that are open for all of our students, not just those who are part of Hartpury’s academy squads.

After taking a gap year, Alice chose to study Agriculture at university to widen her knowledge of farming and learn more before going into the industry full time. Hartpury was immediately her first choice as it was close to home, yet far away enough to live independently.
Following a successful career as freelance tree surgeon running his own business, Edward reached a point where he couldn’t see any more personal progression and wanted a new challenge. Edward felt like university, and agriculture, was calling him. He had gained a lot of industry experience and his next goal was to gain the academic qualification and expertise to progress his career further.
