Hartpury_University_Student_Support_Guide_2020

A supportive teaching environment

Higher education may be a step up from the learning environment you’re used to. To help you navigate newways 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. International support We have a strong international community at Hartpury, with students from over 60 countries. From your first enquiry, you’ll be supported by our dedicated International team. They’ll guide you through the application process and be a point of contact throughout your studies with us. You’ll be invited to a dedicated international students' welcome event. We’ll even pick you up from the airport on arrival to help your journey to Hartpury go as smoothly as possible. international@hartpury.ac.uk
