Just down the road from The Red House near Newport, Shropshire, Harper Adams University is a specialist provider of higher education for the agricultural and rural sector. But Harper Adams is special in a much broader sense.
It specialises in food production and technology, animal health and wellbeing, and their contribution to sustainable, living environments for our planet’s inhabitants.
Harper Adams say they’re changing the world, advancing knowledge, inspiring learners and equipping people to find creative, sustainable solutions to the economic and environmental challenges facing our planet – now and in the future. They believe that real change is possible through a united vision and shared agenda.
The university’s countryside campus, 494-hectare farm, bespoke facilities, staff and external collaborators are all aligned towards providing an applied, educationally excellent and lifelong learning experience for their students.
