Alternative Prospectus

Alternative Prospectus

By students, for students

The Alternative Prospectus (AP) is produced by Harper Adams students to give you a flavour of what life is like at the UK's top land-based and rural university college.

Printed as a newspaper you can pick up your own copy by visiting us at one of the many shows and technical events we are attending across the country, or at one of our open days.

Alternative ProspectusHarper Adams is one of the few universities to produce an alternative prospectus written by students for students. They decided it would be helpful to have a friendly guide to help you get to know the real Harper Adams.

The AP is packed full of useful information from the experiences our students have had in their time at Harper Adams.

Get the lowdown on accommodation, Freshers Week, entertainment, health, food and drink, money and shopping. More useful than Yellow Pages and even more colourful!

Who knows - you might be writing a piece for the AP in a few years time...
