Hartpury College Prospectus

Whether you’re studying Agriculture, Engineering, Farm Mechanisation or Gamekeeping, our 500-hectare farm estate will be your classroom. You’ll have the opportunity to get involved in every aspect of farming and estate operation; whether it’s milking in the dairy unit, maintaining farm machinery or active participation in routine farm and gamekeeping duties. Work experience is an essential element and students can get involved with activities such as lambing, calving and sheep shearing. Hartpury’s commercially run Home Farm and newest development at Okle Clifford Farm are the settings for all of our agriculture, game and land-based students. Okle Clifford presents an excellent educational opportunity for students to learn about best practice in beef, sheep and arable production as well as be part of a farm biodiversity project. Our new Agri Tech Centre for Gloucestershire opens at Home Farm in 2019. This will be a hub for the local farming industry to learn about the latest smart farming technologies. Students will gain experience in the centre to develop their industry knowledge and skills. So whether you want to be a farm or dairy herd manager, a shepherd, a mechanic for farm machinery or a gamekeeper then we can offer you the right course to get there.
