Harper Adams University Postgraduate Prospectus

Living on campus The university has increased the number of rooms available for postgraduate students wishing to live on campus for a full academic year. Every effort is made to accommodate all postgraduate students on campus, although we cannot guarantee a place will be available and priority is given to international and first year undergraduate students. Student Services can help you to find appropriate off campus accommodation (see ‘living off campus’ page 37) if none is available on site. The majority of postgraduate students do not live on campus, as most of their modules are delivered flexibly in short blocks of, say, one week, or over a weekend. Therefore, most will choose to commute daily if possible, or stay in short-term accommodation locally. However, some students, mostly from overseas, choose to live on campus, usually in self-catering accommodation. In on-campus accommodation, cleaning and weekly laundry services are included during term time. A fully catered en-suite accommodation option (living in predominantly undergraduate halls) is also possible upon request to Student Services and subject to availability. Harper Adams also has a number of specially modified rooms, equipped to cater for disabled student needs. Support for resident students is of great importance to us. Every hall is home to two student wardens who are a point of contact for all resident students, and cover an overnight on-call rota. Their support is always available should an emergency situation arise. Additionally, Student Services staff, the Students’ Union President and the Vice-Chancellor are all resident on-campus and are contactable in the event of an emergency. Safety and security are a priority at Harper Adams and the campus is protected by CCTV and on-site security guards who patrol the campus and car parking areas – a free facility for resident students.
