New facilities include a £2 million Agri-Tech Centre, an £10 million sports academy, a world-renowned rider performance centre, a canine therapy centre, and an anti-gravity treadmill and high-altitude hypoxic chamber. We have strong industry connections, working with over 2000 commercial enterprises. We’re also home to nine specialist businesses that provide the ideal professional learning environment for you to absorb yourself in postgraduate study.
You’ll also find over 70 domestic and non-domestic species on campus, a commercial farm, and a busy events calendar including three international equestrian events each year.
We’re the only educational institution in the UK with its own Championship rugby team – Hartpury RFC – based on campus. We also support Olympic equestrian champions to prepare for competition. You could get involved with these projects too.

We focus on the application of research in the real-world. We innovate where it matters. Partnering with key industry and academic bodies to help find solutions to important real-world issues.
Our PhD students assist in teaching, work with students on live research projects and produce new research, which informs our curriculum. Our MRes degrees are unique – you can choose to undertake your research in any one of our specialist areas, providing we can supervise it.
We even offer paid teaching and research assistant roles alongside studies to strengthen learning and experience in specific areas, and provide a helpful wage.
