    Why study at postgraduate level?

    “Harper Adams is unique. It has an excellent reputation, industry links, sense of community, excellent standard of teaching and tutor support, not to mention being leaders in research.”

    Christina Rowlands MSc Rural Estate and Land Management

    Change career direction

    You may find that your current qualifications don't give you all of the skills or knowledge needed to enter your chosen career. Taking a taught masters or postgraduate diploma/certificate qualification can be a relatively quick and financially sound way of enhancing your CV to fit your aspirations.

    Explore the subjects you are passionate about

    Make new discoveries

    Widen your network of contacts

    Develop expertise in your field

    Increase your earning potential

    Studies show that most postgraduates earn more than undergraduates over their careers

    “A postgraduate qualification has allowed me to specialise in an area that I love. I would definitely recommend postgraduate study at Harper Adams because you will be coming to a place where every lecturer knows your name, is an expert in their subject area and is always willing to help you achieve your potential.”

    Claire Cianchi MSc Sustainable Agriculture

    Study flexibly alongside your existing job, your role as a parent or other commitments

    Gain a more in-depth insight into industry

    Create the basis for an academic career by studying a research degree

    Share knowledge

    Take what you learn back into your workplace to benefit the business

    Postgraduate study shows commitment and the ability to learn new skills and ideas

    “The experience of living, working and studying in such a multicultural location positively influences your personal development. Asserting and excelling oneself in foreign environments makes you flexible and strong in your business life.”

    Peter Meinhardt MSc Food Production Management
