Harper Adams University has spent 125 years combining practical education, research and industry engagement, and its subjects now reach far beyond traditional farming — into artificial intelligence, data science, engineering, robotics, food technology, animal health, veterinary science and sustainability.
It is a small, focused university of around 5,400 students from more than 30 countries, built around a 494-hectare working farm, specialist laboratories and a Veterinary Education Centre. Almost every undergraduate degree includes a paid industry placement year, which is the main reason its graduate employment results are so strong.
