About
Teaching and learning
What you study
The course develops a range of transferable skills such as communication, analytical and critical thinking, problem solving and creativity, to name a few. This prepares you for a career across a wide range of sectors.
The course structure involves studying a range of business modules so that you can understand how a business operates with an emphasis on management and marketing. You will be able to draw up a business plan, develop a marketing strategy and provide recommendations to a local business via a management consultancy project. The range of modules studied and the real-life experience gained during a year on placement gives you a good start on the career ladder.
Teaching and learning
Learning at Higher Education level is a big step up from further education so we make sure you get lots of advice and support. Everyone learns differently and in the workplace you’ll need to work in different ways, so we make sure our courses test you in every way possible. Therefore, you will attend lectures and tutorials, undertake regular hands-on practical work, sit exams, and complete coursework assignments. Topics are designed carefully based on real-world situations, such as producing a marketing plan or looking at how a company could make better use of IT, using a company of your choice. All students undertake a major project in their final year concentrating on a topic that is of particular interest to them.
* During the Covid-19 Pandemic the University is delivering blended learning. Government guidance is being constantly reviewed to establish the learning events which can be delivered face to face. Please refer to our frequently asked questions for further details.
Assessment methods
Assessment is via a balance of coursework and examination. Students receive written feedback on all course work to help them improve. In addition, first-year students undertake examinations in three subjects at the end of the first term to enable them to gauge how they are progressing and feedback is provided on these exams. Coursework may be reports, presentations or portfolios and may be produced individually or in a team.

Applying for university as an international student is similar to the process that UK students follow, but there are a few extra steps.
These include:
- taking an English language test.
- applying for a visa.
- attending a pre-sessional course.
To understand the general steps for applying to study one of our courses, take a look at the How to apply pages.
Before you apply
To study on a course at Harper Adams, you will need to meet the entry requirements listed on the course page. You will also need to meet our English language requirements and you may need to take an English language test.
Like UK students, if you are applying for one of our undergraduate courses, you will need to apply through the UCAS website. If you are applying for a postgraduate degree course, you can complete an application form.
After you apply
We will look at your application and decide if you meet the entry requirements. We may ask to interview you. We will keep you updated about the status of your application by email or post.
If we accept your application, we will send you either an unconditional or conditional offer. Unconditional offers mean you have been accepted to study on a course without any other requirements. A conditional offer means you will have to give us some additional information or prove a qualification.
Before you arrive
Depending on where you are coming from, you will need to apply for a visa before you arrive in the UK. Take a look at the visa pages to find out more.
As part of the visa application process, you may need to submit a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number or a similar letter that says you've been accepted to study here.
Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number
If you meet all of the conditions of your offer by the deadline printed on your offer letter, we will give you a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number. You will need your CAS number to apply for your visa.
Your CAS number is unique to you and your place at Harper Adams. It can not be transferred to any other university. If you decide to withdraw your application, you must let us know so we can cancel your CAS number.
Short-term study visa letters
If you are applying for a course that requires a short-term study visa, and you have met any offer conditions we have set, we will give you a letter that confirms we have accepted you. You will need to submit this with your visa application. You may also need to show it when you enter the UK.
Applying for accommodation
You will need to apply for accommodation before you arrive in the UK. We will send you details of how to do this along with your offer letter. You will need to tell the university in advance if you are bringing family to live with you.
When you arrive
We will let you know the date that you need to arrive by in your offer letter. You will need to make arrangements to travel to the UK and get to Harper Adams by this date.
When you first arrive in the UK, you will need to go through immigration controls. To help you get through immigration as quickly and easily as possible, you should:
- not arrive before the start date of your visa.
- make sure you have filled in a landing card (if required) and included details of a UK contact - this can be the university's address or the address of a landlord.
- have your passport, CAS or offer letter, details of where you will stay and proof that you have enough money to study here ready to show immigration officers.
- make sure you know the conditions of your visa, when it expires, and the number of hours you are allowed to work.
- declare any sums of cash over €10,000 (or equivalent in your currency).
To avoid any issues at immigration, you should not:
- bring food or drink (such as meat, dairy products, fish, eggs, honey, fruit, vegetables or plants) with you.
- bring counterfeit goods, firearms, weapons or indecent/obscene material with you.
More information on travelling through the UK border visit the Gov.uk Guide to faster travel through the UK border webpage.
After you arrive
On your first day at Harper Adams, you will need to bring your passport and visa (as well as any certificates or documents we have requested) so we can make a copy for our reference.
