he world needs more engineers. Yet employers say many graduates lack practical experience, leadership skills and technical expertise. Harper Adams graduates are industry ready from the first day on the job, with the skills, knowledge and experience engineering companies want. With our project-focused curriculum and placement year you can change your horizons and achieve more than you think is possible.
“Without a placement year and the reference from it, I don't think I would've got my graduate job at Bentley, where I'm working specifically on the design and improvement of their V8 engine, used in the highest spec vehicles sold.”

This is an extremely supportive environment with staff readily availability for one-to-one study help.
