PASSPORT TO HARTPURY

Working while you study Many of our international students choose to work part-time while they’re at Hartpury. There are lots of good reasons to consider taking a part-time job: Make extra money to spend on social, cultural and travel activities Gain skills to impress your future employers Get work experience in your chosen area of interest Challenge yourself to do something new Make new friends and contacts outside your course

Some jobs won’t even require you to leave campus! Many students take roles as student ambassadors, or work at the Equine Yard or in Legends Bar. There are lots of jobs available off campus too, in areas such as retail and hospitality. You’ll find plenty of companies advertising for new staff during your first fewweeks.

“Finding a job as a Hartpury student is not difficult. The Innovation, Careers and Enterprise team is of great help, especially if you have a specific area of interest. I didn’t expect to find a paid job my first month, but

I had the amazing opportunity to become a student ambassador.” Martyna
