Posted 11 February 2021

Harper Adams University has partnered with NCUK, a consortium of leading universities dedicated to supporting international students in their progression to universities worldwide. 

Offering pathway qualifications, NCUK has a global network of 80+ Study Centres in 30+ countries, enabling international students to move on to higher education across the globe. Since 1987, the organisation has helped more than 35,000 international students join university courses.? 

Today, NCUK’s university network has grown to include additional UK universities as well as universities in Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Canada, providing NCUK students with more choice of study destinations than ever before.

NCUK’s Chief Executive, Professor John Brewer, said: “We are delighted to welcome Harper Adams University to our fantastic network of universities. Harper Adams’ internationally renowned reputation for agriculture and food provides NCUK students with direct access to obtain a world-class degree from a specialist university.”

At Harper Adams, those students who successfully complete the NCUK International Foundation Year will be eligible to move onto their chosen course for further study at undergraduate level. 

Harper Adams will bring some distinctive areas of education to the organisation, and its specialisation in agri-food, veterinary science, animal health and welfare, environmental and agri-technology disciplines will provide further scope for international students in subjects that are vital to the future of many countries across the world.

The University’s Vice-Chancellor, Dr David Llewellyn, said: “We are delighted to have become a member of the NCUK group of universities, which will help bring our courses to the attention of students who wish to study in the UK.  By joining NCUK, the University is aiming to develop its international reach and extend its already strong network of international students, who bring new and valuable insights and experiences to our academic activities.

“We welcome students from around the world who have a passion for the subjects we offer, and we look forward to working with NCUK in the years ahead to provide further opportunities for students who wish to continue their educational journey at Harper Adams University.”
