Harper Adams once again voted best University in UK for Career Prospects

Posted 25 April

Career prospects for students at Î÷¹ÏÊÓƵ have been voted the best in the country for the eighth successive time.

Student reviews saw Harper Adams once again take home the trophy from last night’s  Student Choice Awards, or WUSCAs, for the Career Prospects category. The University has taken the award every year since 2016, except in 2021, when the awards were not held due to the covid-19 pandemic.

This year’s ceremony was hosted by comedian, writer and award-winning actor, Sir Lenny Henry CBE, and marked the 11th year of the awards.

Simon Emmett, CEO of IDP Connect who organise the WUSCAs, said: "This year's WUSCAs are a  celebration of the extraordinary efforts that institutions put into making student experiences exceptional.

“I'm honoured to work in the higher education sector and delighted to see significant increases in student satisfaction for both domestic and international students, despite some of the negative press coverage we've seen lately.

"I encourage the sector to share this remarkable success with their institutions, prospective students, and stakeholders to help strengthen confidence in the higher education student experience. Thank you to all institutions that participated in WUSCAs 2024 for believing in the power and importance of the student voice and huge congratulations to all this year's winners."

The WhatUni awards are based directly on student reviews, with 39,000 students at more than 100 universities across the UK taking part.

Harper Adams Vice-Chancellor Professor Ken Sloan said: “Harper Adams being voted the best University in the UK for Career Prospects for the eight successive time demonstrates our focus on producing industry-ready graduates.

“That focus is borne out by official figures – such as our Graduate Outcomes figures, the most recent of which show 99.2 per cent of our UK-based undergraduates are in work or further study 15 months after graduating.

“It’s heartening to see that it is also recognised, consistently, by our students. I’d like to thank all our current students, our alumni, our employees, and our partner employers and organisations in the industries we serve – it is through the strength these partnerships forge that we make the difference.”

Huge congratulations to members for a stunning performance Student Choice Awards 2024 last night!
