Studying for a degree at Hartpury is a great investment for your future. It’s really important for you to have a plan on how you'll finance your studies.
You’ll also need to budget to ensure you have sufficient money for living costs including transport, accommodation, meals and other expenses while you study.
Cost of living
We understand that the cost of living is a key consideration when deciding whether or not to pursue university study and everything that comes with it. At Hartpury University, we aim to support our students wherever possible.
When living by yourself it is important to be realistic about how much money you have to spend, which is where budgeting comes in!
