YOUR GUIDE TO HARTPURY UNIVERSITY
Hartpury and Covid-19 Covid-19 has seen us all adapting to new routines and ways of doing things. Over the last year we’ve delivered a mix of online and Covid-secure campus-based teaching whenever the UK government has allowed. Our small class sizes and 360-hectare rural campus, where lots of learning takes place outdoors, have made this possible. In spite of the changes to teaching and student life, many of our students have been able to carry on doing the activities they love around campus. Student support Our outstanding support services – voted top 10 in the UK in the Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2020 – are still doing a brilliant job. Pre-recorded and flexible online sessions have been available to suit our students’ schedules. Additional IT and library support have helped students get more out of their study time. Thousands of online ebooks and journals, a tightly scheduled click-and-collect reservation system and the postal service enabled students to have the learning materials when they needed them. Looking forward to September We’re optimistic that life will have returned to its new normal by enrolment in September, but you can rest assured that we’re planning for all scenarios, to ensure we’re able to effectively deliver teaching and assessments in line with any restrictions.
We’ll keep you updated regularly as government guidance changes to ensure you know exactly what to expect when you join us.
