The Reaseheath Experience -
With a terrific setting in 500 acres of farm, parkland, lakes, woodland and sports facilities, you can't help feeling at home! If it's raining there's always the student lounge and bar around which much of our social life revolves, including regular live bands and discos organised by the Students Union - not to mention Rag Week activities. Our restaurant and fast food bars are popular and busy meeting and eating places. Students also have access to Harper Adams University College.
Horse courses at Reaseheath have been developed to meet the increasing demand from employers in the equine industry. Our students are in great demand – grooming for top showjumping or eventing riders, managing stud farms, teaching and lecturing, working in sales and marketing.
