Hannah’s Hartpury journey

Hi, I’m Hannah. I knew I wanted to study equine science as soon as I found out I could!

I chose Hartpury without stepping foot on campus. The choice was easy for me as Hartpury had everything I could ever dream of, from the facilities to the class sizes.

The fact that Hartpury is on the smaller side gave me confidence that I wouldn’t be a number to the lecturers. I knew that I’d get a world-class education alongside practical experience.

I wholeheartedly believe that deciding to study abroad was the best choice I could have made for myself personally, academically, and professionally. While it has been hard being away from family, I have built a little family for myself here… and I FaceTime my mum constantly (sorry mum)!
