Harper Adams University Postgraduate Prospectus

Local area Students say Harper Adams’ rural location offers the best of both worlds – all the benefits of the country but close to the amenities of surrounding towns such as Newport, Telford and Stafford. Shropshire is in the heart of the Midlands, near the English-Welsh border, and only a short drive away from Birmingham (see page 44 for distances by car between the university and various places across the UK). This welcoming, unspoilt county offers glorious rural landscapes, vibrant towns, a rich cultural heritage, and many diverse ways to spend your spare time. Shropshire is also one of the most active agricultural counties in England. In fact, agriculture is the predominant land use, amounting to 86 per cent of the total land area. It also has a thriving business and manufacturing community. This rich combination means we are able to draw on many local resources and industry to support learning and leisure opportunities. 26 / STUDENT LIFE Above / Southwater,TelfordTown Centre
