Your academic studies will challenge your thinking and help you develop into an independent and resilient adult. We expect you to work hard – attending lectures, meeting your personal tutor, submitting assessments on time and seizing work experience opportunities. You’ll be rewarded with amazing experiences in return. What’s expected of me at university? Going to university gives you much more than a qualification. The world needs specialists, like you will be, to feed the planet, improve animal welfare and advance public health through sport and exercise. Through expert teaching and exciting trips and placements, you’ll graduate with the confidence and applied skills to make a big difference. While money isn’t everything, graduates earn £548k more (on average) during their working lives (Economic Impact Report 2018), so you’re investing in your future. Is university the right choice for me? As you focus on achieving your best, you’ll have a team of people around you – from your teachers and tutor, to student counsellors, wellbeing staff and learning support experts. 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? While you’re on campus you’ll be surrounded by green space, with plenty of Students’ Union events, clubs and societies to immerse yourself in. When you fancy the buzz of city life, hop on one of the regular buses and you’ll be in vibrant Gloucester city in just 15 minutes. With plenty of bars and night clubs in the city, and over 45 music, sport and arts festivals in Gloucestershire each year, you’ll have plenty of fun events to choose from. www.soglos.com What’s student life like in Gloucestershire? Yes! Join one of our sports academies and train as a competitive athlete alongside your studies. Improve your technique with the support of our specialist performance teams. www.hartpury.ac.uk/uni-academies Can I train and play competitively? That’s great, there’s loads to choose from.
