On course to a career

For over 10 years, Hartpury University has welcomed Canadian provincial two and three year diploma students to join our advanced entry programs to obtain a bachelor’s degree in just a single year of further study. Our expertise across our specialist degrees in sport, agriculture, animal sciences and equine equips our graduates with the skills and knowledge to achieve their dream careers.

“The major draws for me were the time factor and how the courses at Hartpurywere more geared to what I was interested in. The modules available were a better fit for me than doing Kinesiology or Physical Education, which were the choices available in Canada. For both the undergraduate and master’s programme, the lecturers were phenomenal. I also really benefitted from the placement opportunities available. During my time at Hartpury I was able to work with Gloucester Rugby (a professional rugby club in England) and also at a local high school. Those experiences were not mandatory, but they were invaluable. The route I took at Hartpury has given me specialist knowledge that has been received positivelywhen I came back to Canada. I now work for the Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services. I also work part-time for a private facility, delivering a high-performance sports and conditioning programmes to elite youth athletes.” Adrian Parkes, (Fanshawe College) BSc Sports Performance and MSc Strength and Conditioning
