College student success story

“A lot of the people that were specifically in my year were mature students who had got their GCSEs and A levels and then gone ‘I want to have a family or I want to go do this with my life’, and later on said, ‘I really think this degree is important’."

"I chose Hartpury due to its amazing facilities, as well as the people, lecturers, tutors and education. I am also in the rowing academy and the split between education and rowing is second to none."

Access considers everyone of different ages, knowledge and backgrounds. The lecturers adapted their teaching to give individual help, changing their pace to suit the students.

"From the Access programme manager Nicola, my tutor, lecturers and support staff to the friendly staff in the coffee shop – everyone has a smile on their face and is happy to help. It’s a wonderful place to study."

“Hartpury stood out to me for its beautiful campus, excellent facilities and opportunities to gain experience on site. Access to HE was the best choice for me. It’s opening doors to my dream career."

“I wasn't ready to go straight into university study and didn't quite have the right qualifications at the time to progress to degree level. As well as helping me to reach that threshold as I increased my knowledge on a subject I’m passionate about, Hartpury’s Access to Higher Education diploma allowed me to get a feel for what university life would be like."
