Harper Adams University College

Harper Adams University College in 1998 and have recently taken on the role of Principal. It is a tremendous privilege to serve in this capacity because this institution has such a special place in the life of the countryside and in the world of higher education. Not only are we unique in our subject base, and in the range of research and knowledge transfer work that we undertake, but we also perform extraordinarily well against many larger universities whilst retaining a collegiate approach to our activities.
