A note for your support network

Going to university is a big step for everyone. Whether they’re a young adult becoming independent for the first time, or a mature student returning to education after some time away. You can help them to succeed by supporting them to take responsibility for their next steps. That could be practically, by teaching them valuable life skills such as budgeting or cooking, or emotionally as they embark on this life-changing journey. You’ll be helping your loved one to become the best learner they can be. You’ll also get to spend valuable time with them before they start their new life as a university student. We’d love to see you at our dedicated Q&Awebinar, happening in early 2022. You’ll find out about the next steps as someone supporting a Hartpury offer-holder and get your questions answered. We’ll be in touch with more details and an invite to book your place.

You can look forward to regular updates from us between now and September 2022 to help you get ready to join us. #ComingToHartpury2022

We’ll throw a huge Wellfest day when you get here, for all your Hartpury and local support services in one place. In fact, Wednesdays are dedicated to wellbeing – join campus walks and a whole host of activities throughout the year. www.hartpury.ac.uk/uni-support Howwill I be supported while I study?
