An excellent University with a community feel. All the lectures get to Know each of the pupils extremely well and classes are kept small to ensure the best education is delivered. Practical opportunities have also been offered to me throughout my degree, enabling theory learnt in the classroom to be provided practically. Excellent library, study support and the food department is amazing. The opportunity to undertake an industrial placement year, on top of 7 modules and a honours research project in my final year was the deciding factor for me in choosing Harper Adams University.

Excellent. Lots of computer rooms, onsite farm, laundry service, free wifi on top of the amazing library. The Faccenda building is also great for study support and the RFA food academy is astonishing. Lots of high tec equipment and investment is constantly going into product development and research facilities on campus.

The study support skills available is excellent and even the library are great with referencing assistance for assignments. You are usually given a supervisor for your first assignment who acts as you mentor and the course managers are always willing to listen to your worries and talk.

The SU is on campus, providing an excellent entertainment source during first year as a fresher. 4 balls are held a year and lots of theme nights including Big Weekend and RAG.

A very rural University, so quiet and green. Lots of urban opportunities nearby though including visiting Telford, Stafford and Birmingham for city night life.The campus is ever increasing with students both international and UK oriented. The uptake of post graduate courses is also increasing.

Harper boasts about its sporting opportunities with an onsite gym, swimming pool, astro turf and playing fields. Lots of clubs and societies to suit even the less athletic people.

I study the BSc (Hons) Food, Nutrition and Wellbeing degree. The course encompasses a broad range of modules covering all aspects from farm to fork. You get to know the lecturers really well and they truly provide enthusiasm, encouragement and support to ensure you succeed and get the most out of your course. What effort you put in is what determines the output! The range of modules in my second year, truly equipped me for my placement year and the lecturers really know their subject specialisms inside out. So are willing to offer extra support when required.

The opportunity to undertake a placement year in my third year of study has enabled me to apply theory into practice and establish my specific career pathways. The careers team are excellent at providing admin support and the pilot plant in the RFA has provided hands on product processing experience, crucial to my projective career pathways to pursue in new product development. With a high graduate employment rate, this is was a core factor in influencing me to study at Harper Adams University.

The student accomodation on campus is good. I stayed in self catering in my first year and enjoyed the opportunity of independence and being able to cook for myself. In second year and now in my final year, I stay in Newport in a rented property. Accomodation guidance is given and there are lots of nearby Estate Agents. Support is available if you ask for it.
