Course Summary

You will learn practical skills at Harper Adams, via short block release during the university terms, from work experience completed during vacations and by the work placement year. 4 years (full-time) including a one-year work placement. A three year programme is available for applicants with at least two years, full-time relevant work experience. Please contact Admissions for further information on this option.
