Sort:Latest reviewsIncredibly friendly students and staff, loads of support. Perfect for me as I didn't want to go to a university in a city! Not just classroom teaching - actually get to go out and apply what has been taught in lectures
I have had an amazing 4 years at Harper but feel it has changed greatly over my time here. It's still a friendly and welcoming as when I started however, a lot of what made Harper so special (agri block and ploughing match) have been laid to rest which I feel is a great loss.
Really enjoy being at Harper Adams. Such a great community. The lecturers are always ready to give you the extra time and support and will all get to know you. Although it's not in a city it's good everything you need and you'll find you get to know everyone on campus. They are very supportive and it makes you feel like your part of one big family.
Harper Adams is a fun, hard-working and exciting place to be. No matter what you want from your university experience, Harper has got it! The learning support given here is second to none, and there is always someone to help you out if you've lost your way. The lecturers and staff are the friendliest group of people you'll find in any university and each individual tries hard to make the lesson understandable and engaging. Conclusion? Harper Adams is the greatest show on Earth :D
I love being in a smaller uni, everybody knows everybody and it's just a relaxed environment. The lecturers are really easy to talk to and helpful, and there's always loads on with the SU!
Friendly university where it's easy to make friends, close community. Best thing about it is that it's a rural university. It also benefits from the placement year which for my course gives you that extra experience you need for fourth year
Best uni ever, varied courses and there's something to do for everyone social wise! Great facilities and always something going on. Would highly recommend this uni to anyone thinking of applying!
Fantastic university with a great friendly and approachable atmospheres. Extremely good tutors who balance practical with theory and make the lectures enjoyable and educational.
Fantastic courses, great industry links, social life is second to none and the whole university has a really welcoming and homely atmosphere! The opportunity to do a placement year greatly increases employment rates and the renowned name of Harper travels really far within the land based sector!
I couldn't fault harper! The teachers are brilliant, they are all so knowledgable and are easy to confront. Also the students are all lovely people which makes the social like so good, especially when you live far away.
Absolutely fantastic uni - made me feel very welcome from the open day onwards - knew on the open day that it was Harper I wanted to be! Brilliant lectures and love my course, as well as having a very active SU with themed Wednesdays, as well as having Mondays out in Newport.
Great university to go to with an excellent industry reputation. Placement year sold it for me as it gives you the opportunity to set up your own networks and prove yourself. Perfect for anyone who loves being out in the coutnryside and with like minded people.
Harper Adams is a very friendly and inviting university and they certainly know how to have fun! From an academic point of view I find that the support network available at the university is superb! 5/5
A really great Uni! All the lectures are really helpful and cant do enough for you to ensure you get the best possible grades. The course its self is also amazing, really interesting and learning is made to be fun and not boring! Highly recommend!!
Fantastic family and community atmosphere. Support is given to everyone in monetary terms and with grammar. It is a small Uni but means you know everyone on your course through trips, lots of funding given to students from agriculture sectors such as scholarships. All years integrate well and everyone knows everyone, a great place in the countryside to make friends for life. No regrets being here!
Harper Adams is a close knit rural community, it is a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Provides great future career prospects and a lively social calendar. It is at Harper that you meet your best friends. The Harper spirit is something that is prized above all else.
Really good and well organised university. There is lots of members of staff which helps make the organisation of the university very easy which benefits the students very highly.
I'm having an amazing time here- and the activities/clubs are second to none from what I've heard of other universities. The support is amazing and the campus is beautiful, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
The very best uni! Couldn't ask more from a university experience
4.4
Great place to be, most welcoming atmosphere I've ever come across. With the true ethos of working hard and having a good time as well. You get to know pretty much everyone on campus and it's very easy to socialise and find friends. With lectures that are informative and drive your assignments up by grades beyond your expectations Harper Adams is growing and becoming a much larger organisations
Newport is all Harper needs to have a good time.
As part of the rugby club I can say it's the best club I've ever been in and has given me some fantastic memories so far and it's only my first year.
Only downside to Harper Adams, rooms are small and struggle with ventilation, the constant building work around the halls makes sleeping in next to impossible sadly.
