Hartpury College Prospectus

Nick Gallagher, who is taking a gap year before heading to either Cambridge University or Stanford or Harvard in the USA | “Hartpury worked hard to make my timetabling work around my training and playing commitments so that I could keep up my football and stay on course to get the grades I need.

You do a lot of growing up at Hartpury and I know that the fact I’ve already lived away from home and been at a college where you study alongside degree students will really help with the transition to university.”

Life is like a box of chocolates | A-level students went all Willy Wonka last year, creating brand new chocolate products. Over the two-day event, students from each team were given a masterclass in chocolate crafting from specialist chocolatier, Yvonne Everest, who demonstrated how to make chocolates with various flavours, fillings, shapes and techniques. Other members of each team gathered market research in Gloucester, putting the theory they have been learning in business lessons to the test by identifying target markets and developing a campaign to promote their product. Once their prototype chocolates were ready for tasting and tweaks had been made to packaging and promotional materials, the teams pitched their ideas to a panel of industry judges.
