The campus is surrounded by countryside, which makes it a quiet and relaxing environment. It is a small close-knit university which means it provides a friendly family-like community. The members of staff are extremely friendly and supportive, which means we are able to build an excellent repour. The facilities are great and provide the means to offer excellent practical experience. The downside of having a campus away from the city centre is access and travel issues, which means students have to drive or get a taxi or bus to get on and off-campus. The campus has an on-site bar and student union which try to put on events throughout the year but these are not regularly attended due to the vast majority of students living off-site in town.

The course covers a wide range of topics that are both interesting and essential to succeed in my career. The lectures provided a mixed learning approach, and each session is never the same. Our tutors provide weekly support if needed and are always willing to go the extra mile. The course doesn't require any work placement but there is an opportunity to apply for an on-site internship. Although only open to two students, if you are lucky enough to get chosen it is definitely an important factor in how well prepared you'll be for a career after Hartpury. Our course does have a large practical side and we regularly use the human performance laboratory on-site in the new sports academy building. The kitchen we use for cooking, however, is not well equipped and should have all the equipment we need to complete kitchen sessions.

It is a great place to study as has many great facilities that help with learning. It also has great support teams to help with various problems you may have. Only issue is it’s a bit of a distance from everything such as shops and entertainment facilities

I love how the course has both sit down lectures but also a practical side to help understand the content depending on how the individual learns best

I love just having my own space and the room comes supplied with furniture of decent quality. However, I think it’s a tiny little bit over priced but nonetheless good place to start living
