Visit Hartpury (Optional)
If you're able to visit the UK, we'd love to meet you at an Offer Holder Day or on a campus tour.
Please note: visiting campus is completely optional and is not a requirement for accepting your offer or enrolling at Hartpury.
We offer a range of partial scholarships to help new international students fund their studies at Hartpury. Some scholarships are awarded automatically, while others require an application. Scholarships cannot be combined, so if you're eligible for more than one award, you'll automatically receive the highest-value scholarship.
If your offer is conditional, you'll need to provide further documents before we can confirm your place.
This could include:
Academic transcripts and certificates
English language test results (if required)
You can upload your documents using our 'Hartpury University Qualifications Collection' form or email them to international@hartpury.ac.uk.
We'll be able to confirm your place once all the requirements of your offer have been met.
If your results are lower than expected, please don't worry. Send us your results and contact the International Team. We'll review your options and may be able to discuss alternative courses or pathways
First-year undergraduate students are guaranteed accommodation. To give yourself the best choice of room and location, we recommend applying as early as possible.
You'll need to pay your tuition fee deposit before you can apply for your Student visa.
Look out for an email from our Finance Team with your tuition fee invoice and details of how to make your payment.
If you're funding your studies through a government, federal or provincial student loan scheme (such as FAFSA, Sallie Mae or OSAP), we recommend applying as early as possible and letting us know that you plan to use this funding.
If you do not hold a UK or Republic of Ireland passport, you will usually need a Student visa to study in the UK. You can apply for your visa up to six months before your course start date.
Once you have paid your tuition fee deposit, we'll email you an invitation to create a CAS Shield account and complete your CAS application.
A Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) is an official document issued by Hartpury. It includes a unique CAS number that you'll need to provide in your Student visa application.
Once you have received your CAS, you can submit your Student visa application to UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) through the UK Government website.
Applying for a CAS and Student visa can seem complicated, but don't worry. Our International Team will guide you through the process and provide support.
As you get ready to join us, we'll send you everything you need to prepare for your arrival. To make sure you don't miss any important updates, please check your spam or junk folder regularly and add Hartpury email addresses to your safe senders list.
