The minimum requirements for entry to Hartpury College vary significantly from programme to programme. For some degree programmes, compulsory subject requirements may also apply. However, acceptance onto a course (sport or otherwise) at Hartpury does not automatically entitle a student to a place within Hartpury Sports Academy. Selection into the Academy is limited and based upon ability.
Selection is confirmed after participation in sports trials, held during the first half of term as part of the selection process and students must maintain good academic standing, as well as agreed sporting and behavioural standards to retain their place in the Academy.
Scholarships – players with exceptional talent may be offered a Sports Academy Scholarship, providing assistance towards accommodation fees. Some players may also be offered a bursary to provide financial assistance towards expenses.
In order to determine whether you need any specific qualifications to undertake this opportunity you will need to contact the university directly as there may be course entry requirements.
