I couldn't imagine being at any other Uni! From my first visit to a Harper Adams open day i knew it was the uni for me! I am now in my third year, which is my compuslory placement year, I am working for Elanco animal health which is an amazing opportunity, and i am thoroughly enjoying it. I do miss being at university though- the campus is fantastic, the atmosphere amazing, student events legendary and the lectures fantastic -the lecturers are brilliant- experts in their field, and are more then happy to help if you have further questions.
A brilliant atomsphere, amazing people with a great nightlife with the benefit of the open countryside. The course are exactly what they say in the prospectus. Harper Adams exceeds any expectation!!
Lecturers are very enthusiastic about their subejct area and the specialist facilities are excellent. A really close knit community of students makes for an excellent social life.
Good uni, infrastructure is struggling to keep up with growth in students though. Social life going downhill as increased red tape from student services taking fun out of most things!!!
Such a beautiful rural campus. Where the staff and students are all friendly, within such a small environment you will always see friends about! The mix between work and play is just right.
Harper Adams University is a fantastic university offering a great social experience as well as excellent academic standards. There are several clubs and societies to join as well as great events organised by the SU. Its well known academic standards as well as the placement year, which is compulsory, makes graduates highly employable.
An excellent University. Wonderful "Harper Spirit" atmosphere. Kind, friendly lecturers who are available to help with your studies when required. Lots of sports and activities to choose from, a great SU bar and Welly Inn on campus to help strike a work-play balance!
Great atmosphere, open door policy of lecturers is very helpful and they are all approachable. Although its not quite city night life the SU organises some great nights.
Harper Adams is a friendly interesting university to study at, the courses are interesting and well taught and the extra curricular activities are fantastic. The campus itself is an eclectic mix of old and new and it is in a lovely rural area perfect for the job of teaching us for land and rural based careers. I knew I wanted to go to Harper at the very start hence why it was the only one I applied for when going through admission. The fact we are given a placement year, which is compulsory, within the course means that when we leave Harper we have experience in our chosen fields and we have a much better idea of what careers we want to go into.
Love the university and my course. It's a very welcoming and friendly place to be. Even though it's set in a beautiful rural area, the nightlife is always buzzing the SU have regular events to keep us all entertained. There are also a wide range of Clubs and Societies to join and be a part of. I would recommend Harper to anyone.
A brilliant, welcoming university which offers help and support when needed! I feel that Harper is a home from home experience with it's location in the countryside participating in agriculture
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.
Harper Adams is one big family with all the best facilities for advancing in animal and agricultural careers. Other uni's underestimate the importance of practical experience for both the workplace and engaging student minds. Even when I was forced to re take a year due to illness, my tutors couldn't be more helpful and supportive. You never feel lost or unsupported. The student union is brilliant and it has such a wide variety of sports on offer, everything from an off-road team to rugby and extreme frisbee. After my open day, I wouldn't choose anywhere else.
Great place, lectures are full of information. its not given completely you have to go away and do extra research, which is brilliant because it allows you to expand your knowledge.
Overall Harper Adams University is a great university. It has a wide range of courses and has excellent connections with a variety of companies which helps in finding a job after graduation. The are lots of clubs and societies to get involved in and everyone is very friendly.
Having spent 9 weeks at Harper Adams i know I've made the correct choice of university. Being a first year agriculture with animal science student I've found the staff to be the most welcoming and helpful and the facilities to be top notch. My overall experience of uni has be bettered by the many teams and societies available at the university and the activities through said clubs. I have great hope for my future because of Harper and how it has in such a short period of time shown me the direction in which i want my career to proceed after university. Via many careers and placement fairs the university advertise their students to companies and give us a chance to network with global companies. I love it and would highly recommend Harper Adams to any student interested in agriculture or related sectors.
Harper Adams University is a brilliant University ideal for Agriculture students wanting to further their education and learn more skills in the industry. The fact that the farm is so close to the university and that the students can walk around the farm enables them to gain a perspective of farming that they may not be used to.
Harper has such a friendly atmosphere, the lecturers have a lot of industry knowledge and are willing to answer any questions to support you in any way they can. The placement year offered on most courses is highly valued by employers in relevant companies to the course, and the social life is one of kind you won't find so much fun and mad antics anywhere else.
