The majority of students at Harper Adams University complete a year-long industrial placement year and this includes those enrolled on countryside, environment and wildlife courses.
 
Students will spend their placement working in the countryside and environmental industries, gaining invaluable experience that not only puts theory into practice, but also contributes positively to the challenges facing the sector.

There are also long-term benefits to students' employment prospects, as employers value highly the combination of theory and hands-on experience.
 
Placements are organised and managed through a dedicated placement unit, and to further support students on placement, the countryside and wildlife team have a course specific placement manager.

In addition, each member of the academic staff visit students twice during the year to review their progress and to further establish the strong linkage between the working sector and Harper Adams.
