Postgraduate study

Postgraduate study is a powerful way to advance your career, deepen your expertise and open new opportunities.

Harper Adams University has a long and distinguished history as the UK’s leading specialist university for agriculture and the wider land-based and rural industries. We equip graduates with the skills and knowledge to lead a more sustainable food chain and rural economy for the future.

Excellent teaching, specialist facilities, internationally recognised research, and strong industry and professional partnerships are at the heart of what we do.

Within our close-knit academic community, we create and share knowledge that develops minds, solves real-world challenges, enhances lives and creates opportunity. Harper Adams is helping shape the future of rural industries while supporting students to achieve their personal and professional ambitions.

Here, students see theory put into practice every day. From field-based teaching and hands-on experiments to conducting field trials and analysing samples in our expanding laboratory complex, learning happens in a vibrant research and teaching environment without needing to leave campus.

Our postgraduate portfolio of courses continues to grow in response to the changing needs of rural industries across the world. Courses are informed by nationally and internationally recognised research, ensuring students stay at the forefront of innovation, knowledge and technology. By continually listening to industry and our students, we remain focused on delivering the higher-level skills employers need now and for the future.
