Engineering students enjoy incredible JCB Global Learning Centre visit

18 February 2025

By Engineering Programmes Manager, James Croxford

Our first-year Engineering students were given an incredible opportunity - being hosted at the JCB Global Learning Centre and World HQ!

The professional development day included 'speed networking', a VIP tour, and a series of engineering presentations and workshops.

It was humbling to see so many Harper Adams University alumni from across the years happy to volunteer their time (and that of their teams!) to support the next generation. I lost count of the number of engineers who supported the day.

A massive thank you to everyone involved, but especially Ellie W., Tristen Brown and Katie Powell for their flawless organisation and hosting!
