HARTPURY_UNIVERSITY_STUDENT_SUPPORT_GUIDE_2025_ENTRY

A supportive teaching environment

Higher education may be a step up from the learning environment you’re used to. To help you navigate new ways of working and the opportunities available to you, you’ll have a dedicated personal tutor. This will compliment a wider network of lecturers in your department, also here to support you. Where possible, we try to ensure your personal tutor is the same throughout your course, so you can develop a professional relationship and make the most of your time at Hartpury. Your personal tutor can help make the transition to university-level and independent study much easier. They can also offer advice on any academic feedback you have received. As an expert in their field, they'll have a network of industry contacts – which you can utilise for valuable development opportunities such as work placements. They'll be able to provide you with a reference for future employers, too. You’ll get personalised and relevant guidance as your studies progress. Student Advisors If you need support with general queries or don't know which department to speak to, the Student Advisors are there to guide you. They can also help you understand the academic regulations or offer support if extenuating circumstances are affecting your ability to study or submit an assessment. Whenever you need to pop in and speak to them, someone will be happy to help. The Student Advisors are available 8.30-18.30 during teaching and assessment weeks, and 8.30-17.00 during holiday weeks. International support We have a strong global community at Hartpury, with students from over 60 countries. If you're an international student, our dedicated International team are here to support you – from before you set foot on campus right through until you graduate. They’ll guide you through everything you need to know about coming to Hartpury, including the application process and studying in the UK. international@hartpury.ac.uk
