The situation will be reviewed at October half-term, with the objective being to transition fully to face-to-face delivery as soon as Government guidelines allow.  However, we are mindful that this mixed model of online and face-to-face delivery may need to be in place for the full 2020/21 academic year.

The government has announced its priority is “to ensure affected students can move on as planned to the next stage of their lives, including going into employment, starting university, college or sixth form courses, or an apprenticeship in the autumn.” They have emphasised that they are focused on ensuring that this year’s students are not disadvantaged in terms of their results.

Sporting activities will all be in-line with government advice and public health guidance, as well-being of our students and staff is of paramount importance.

Following the very latest government advice, we have today (16/9/2020) reviewed and updated our approach, which we appreciate may differ to any previous advice or guidance you may have received.

Residential students may still move into their new accommodation on Hartpury campus, providing they are currently showing no symptoms of Covid-19 and/or have not been told to self-isolate.

Hartpury will be your new place of residence, and you will therefore be subject to any restrictions in this area (and of course national ones) rather than your current home.

Please ensure you consider any local restrictions should you wish to visit an area away from Hartpury, including returning home – it may be that you are not able to, and if you did, you may not be able to return to Hartpury campus until the restrictions are relaxed.

Any students travelling in daily to Hartpury from an area with local restrictions must follow local guidance, for instance in relation to travel.  Where guidance allows, students are able to attend providing they are currently showing no symptoms of Covid-19 and/or have not been told to self-isolate.

A list of the areas with local restrictions in place, updated by the government can be found here.

We have moved the start of the academic year back one week to the week commencing 21 September 2020. The new term dates can be found here.

Our returning undergraduate students** will not be required to physically attend Hartpury until the week of 26 October 2020.

Enrolment and the first four weeks of teaching will be online for returning undergraduate students.  From 26 October, we hope to have a mixed-delivery model, with students physically attending smaller group activities such as practical sessions and seminars.

It is likely large lectures will be online, in a similar way as to the last three weeks of the 2019/20 semester two delivery.

We will continue to review the situation with the objective being to transition fully to face-to-face delivery as soon as Government guidelines allow.  However, we are mindful that this mixed model of online and face-to-face delivery may need to be in place for much of the academic year.

Our priority is to maintain the safety of our students and staff while supporting academic progression and ensuring academic integrity.  While we appreciate that you may have many questions as to how this effects your individual programmes, please be patient while programme managers work through the detailed planning over the next few months.

We are absolutely committed to delivering a high-quality learning and student experience, enabling students to engage with their course effectively, in all eventualities.

We are working on specific details in relation to individual courses and students, including for those students who are shielding or vulnerable or may have challenges in travelling to England in time for enrolment.

We are absolutely committed to delivering the highest-quality learning and student experience and will ensure that your degree is delivered in line with national expectations, quality and standards.

It is likely that large scale lectures will not be delivered face-to-face until government guidance allows, and a significant element of many programmes will be delivered online during the 2020/21 academic year.

Students’ contact days may also be reduced to ease the numbers on campus at any one time.

Students’ weekly timetables will therefore be a mixed model of online lectures and physical delivery.  More information can be found in the FAQ: ‘Will I be taught online or face to face from September 2020’ (current students)?

We are confident that students will still be able to engage with their programme of study effectively, no matter what the circumstances, and there will be no reduction or discount on tuition fees or accommodation fees.

We’ve moved the remaining teaching and the majority of assessment online, supporting students to complete the academic year and progress from there. New methods of assessment are communicated via your module Moodle pages where there is lots of support for students to access. If you are unsure, please contact your academic tutor as soon as possible.

Following government guidance and the advice of all national governing bodies for sport, we will not be running pre-season training based onsite in summer 2020. Please continue conversations with sports academy managers/coaches where needed.

Sporting activities will all be in-line with government advice and public health guidance, as well-being of our students and staff is of paramount importance.

Our hope is very much that Hartpury can return as close to normal as soon as possible. As a result, we are developing the timetable to contain as much face to face delivery as is safe to do so. From the specified date in October, we would therefore hope as many returners as possible are in attendance at Hartpury for those face to face sessions. Additionally as the restrictions in England reduce, the amount of online delivery will reduce further. Our recommendation would be that while we do appreciate that for some students this will not be possible (e.g. those with underlying medical conditions who are required to remain in isolation) and will be supporting them via live and recorded sessions, students are able to attend from the 26^th of October. Should an individual student feel unable to do this, they should have a chat with their programme manager to discuss options.

Currently, our intention is to enrol all new first year undergraduate** Hartpury University students on campus during the week starting 21 September 2020.  This is a week later than previously published. The new term dates can be found here.

Top-up students will have a programme specific enrolment, with details provided later in the summer.

We are working on specific details in relation to individual courses and students, including for those students who are shielding or vulnerable or may have challenges in travelling to England in time for enrolment.  We will be utilising our on-line teaching environment to support students who are unable to physically attend the campus.

Postgraduate students can apply to any postgraduate taught or research courses via the course pages. If you hold an offer and you would like to accept it, please email admissions@hartpury.ac.uk and accept your offer. If your offer is conditional and we are waiting for you to send us your final degree results please email admissions with the required information. If your results are delayed please get in contact with us to discuss further.

You should also, where applicable, be applying for student finance in the usual way. Please contact admissions@hartpury.ac.uk if you have any queries.

Do I need to send you my results when I get them?

If you have accepted a conditional offer and are waiting for A Level, BTEC or City and Guilds, WJEC or Irish Leaving diploma results we normally receive your results from the awarding bodies through UCAS. Sometime we will receive these before they are published sometime afterwards.

If we don’t expect to receive your results through UCAS, we will ask you to send a copy of your results when you receive them.

What happens when you get my results?

If you achieve the grades required by your conditional offer then we will have your place confirmed and we will email you a PDF of an acceptance letter. You will also see your the status of your application on UCAS change.

If you have not quite met the required grades our Admissions Officers will review your application and your place may be confirmed if there are places still available on their course and we believe that you have shown sufficient academic potential to achieve on the course.

How will you assess academic potential?

We will look at the following to assess your academic potential:

• Have you met the minimum GCSE entry criteria for the course.
• What qualifications have you achieved.
• We will read your personal statement looking particularly  to assess motivation and suitability for the chosen course of study. In particular we will look for evidence to show :
  • evidence of knowledge of, interest in and commitment to the subject;
  • non-academic achievement or experience in areas that align to the subject;
  • work experience and/or positions of responsibility in areas aligned to the subject;
  • interests, hobbies and pastimes.
• The reference or a written recommendation from a teacher, adviser, or professional who knows you academically or professionally to look for evidence of an overall assessment of the applicant, in particular your suitability for the course of study
• Contextual information that will help assess your academic potential
• Any extenuating circumstances

If you feel there is additional information then you can send this to us at admissions@hartpury.ac.uk. We may also contact you to discuss you application.

If I don’t get accepted on my course will you offer me an alternative?

If we are concerned about confirming your place we will try to contact you to discuss this with you. When we are unable to confirm a place on the original course we will seek to offer a place on an alternative course if places are still available.

Can I contact you?

Yes, you are very welcome to contact admissions@hartpury.ac.uk at any point in this process and we would be very happy to discuss it with you.

The deadline to apply for Student Finance for new students is 22 May 2020 for new students and the 19 June 2020 for returning students. Further information from the Students Loan Company can be found here.

Following government guidance and the advice of all national governing bodies for sport, we will not be running pre-season training based onsite in summer 2020. Please continue conversations with sports academy managers/coaches where needed.

We will restart all sporting activities as soon as we feel it is safe to do so; we recognise how important this is to many of you.

Currently, we are planning on the basis that competitions will resume at some point during 2020/21, when they are safe to do so, and in-line with government advice and national governing bodies’ guidance.

Sports academies will continue to provide the best level of support to the student-athletes and training will still operate at Hartpury so that we are ready to compete as soon as we are able to.

Sporting activities will all be in-line with government advice and public health guidance, as well-being of our students and staff is of paramount importance.

Following the very latest government advice, we have today (16/9/2020) reviewed and updated our approach, which we appreciate may differ to any previous advice or guidance you may have received.

Residential students may still move into their new accommodation on Hartpury campus, providing they are currently showing no symptoms of Covid-19 and/or have not been told to self-isolate.

Hartpury will be your new place of residence, and you will therefore be subject to any restrictions in this area (and of course national ones) rather than your current home.

Please ensure you consider any local restrictions should you wish to visit an area away from Hartpury, including returning home – it may be that you are not able to, and if you did, you may not be able to return to Hartpury campus until the restrictions are relaxed.

Any students travelling in daily to Hartpury from an area with local restrictions must follow local guidance, for instance in relation to travel.  Where guidance allows, students are able to attend providing they are currently showing no symptoms of Covid-19 and/or have not been told to self-isolate.

A list of the areas with local restrictions in place, updated by the government can be found here.

We recommend you continue your preparations whether these are related to immigration, finances, exams or otherwise with a view to commencing your studies as planned in September 2020.

We will continue to monitor and follow the latest Government guidelines. Please visit the UKVI website for the most up to date information from the UK Government on Tier 4 Visas: UKVI updates.

Applicants/future students with queries or concerns should contact international@hartpury.ac.uk

We’re pleased to learn that the IELTS test centres are now reopening in a number of countries. However, if it is not possible for you to attend a test centre, we’re also happy to accept the new IELTS indicator test which offers you the chance to take an IELTS based exam from home.

In addition to IELTS, we will accept a number of different English language tests, including Cambridge and TOEFL iBT Special Home Edition which can also be taken online in your own home in many countries around the world. Please contact international@hartpury.ac.uk for further advice.

Yes, if the situation means that you cannot travel at all, we will refund your deposit. However, please be reassured that we will be utilising our on-line teaching environment to support students who are delayed and unable to travel to England in time for enrolment.

Yes, if the situation means that you cannot travel at all, we will refund your deposit.

As it currently stands, if you decide to defer to the 2021/22 academic year, you will be subject to the new immigration rule that comes into effect from 1st Jan 2021. This would also mean that you would need to pay international tuition fees. We will have more detailed information closer to the time, so please keep checking the relevant webpages.
