OUTSTANDINGQUALITY OF EDUCATION SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY A CAREER NETWORK FROMDAY 1 Our offer to you Our degrees are taught using an individual curriculum and a range of specialist resources. We have invested more than £50 million in our campus over the last decade. Cutting-edge spaces support teaching across our subject base – from a robotic dairy to a food sensory evaluation suite; from entomology laboratories to mechatronic engineering innovation hubs. You will enjoy a bespoke learning approach, proven to work. We will guide you to gather knowledge at the start of your degree. Then you will drive it forward on campus, before setting out on a full year of work experience to put theory into practice. Afterwards, you will return to your studies. At this stage, you can specialise and conduct your own research before you qualify. Finally, you will join our army of outstanding graduates, thriving in their fields. Play your part and you will leave us with: • Thorough knowledge of your chosen subject • Digital skills relevant to your future professional practice • Deep understanding of how you can make a difference in a world rife with challenges • A vast professional network Here at Harper you’re a name, not a number – and that fact forms the basis of our on-campus community.

Their open-door policy means you always have access to their support when you need it – and even when you don’t. But our support is not only academic. We offer a host of wellbeing and student-led services; including clubs, societies, chaplaincy and mental health support. These, for the most part, are delivered by the University and our Students' Union and are run with you at its heart. Your Harper degree puts you in the roomwith industry experts, potential sponsors and – of course – your fellow future professionals. Our incredible lecturing team are often fully immersed in the industry they teach – with guest speakers, placement tutors, graduate employers and more completing your real-world education.
