"Both my first and second university choices were for courses at Hartpury. I don’t even remember the third! As a student, you're on first-name terms with your lecturers, who know who you are and value you. You can rely on them, as part of the welcoming and family feel at Hartpury. A key thing is the community it creates for like-minded people; the people you study and hang out with are affiliated with sports in some way or another, and you get to meet people from all over the world who have gone on to do successful things.
The most appealing aspect of the course was the variation of elements taught alongside coaching, such as performance analysis and strength conditioning, making everything both practical and engaging. You learn the content and skills to deliver a message and engage in powerful ways. So, whether you're coaching someone or trying to make a sale, you learn the same foundational skills of presenting in an impactful way. The best thing about Hartpury is the people. Throw yourself into it, get to know the people and environment, people's stories and personalities - that's how you get the most out of it."
