About us

We Are Here. 

For 125 years, Harper Adams University, in the heart of Shropshire, has been educating and inspiring those who dare to question the status quo. Through groundbreaking research, innovative thinking and a focus on specialist education, we have been quietly and consistently feeding the planet since 1901, when our countryside campus first opened. 

Our students and graduates are developing the solutions our world needs. In agriculture, mechanical engineering, food science, land and environmental management, animal care, business or applied science – you will find our graduates here in these sectors, working together to make a difference. 

And now, at our new Telford central campus, we’ve added degrees in robotics, data science and digital business. 

To those with curious minds—who seek not just to learn, but to shape the future. We are here. Join us for outstanding teaching, exceptional student outcomes, a welcoming community and the chance to build your network from day one.

WE ARE HERE

Our location is by no mistake. Shropshire is the cradle for both agricultural and industrial innovation, and together they complete our dual purpose, letting ingenuity thrive. To those who share this same spirit, locally and beyond; we are here. We are also just over an hour by car from Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham, and after a short drive to Stafford, you can reach London by rail in one hour and 20 minutes. We Are Here. We are everywhere. Will you join us?

What makes us different

At Harper Adams, learning never stops at the classroom door. From racing student-built robots in our soil hall to delivering hydrotherapy in our veterinary suites or testing innovations in our food academy, you’ll be applying your skills from day one.

Every undergraduate course is available with a paid, full-year work placement. This guarantees you’ll graduate with real experience, real insight, and the confidence that comes from doing, not just learning.

We work with hundreds of employers across the UK and beyond, connecting students with opportunities in every corner of the sectors we serve. 

And beyond the placement year, you’ll leave Harper Adans with a powerful professional network made up of classmates, industry mentors, expert staff and alumni who are already shaping the future.

At Harper Adams, you won’t just study a subject: you will live it.

Harper has this great ability to build a mindset of independence, adaptability, and problem-solving. It’s no wonder employers often say Harper engineers are ‘ready from day one’ — it’s true! We’re trained to hit the ground running in real-world environments, and that makes all the difference.
