Fees and funding

As a Hartpury postgraduate research or teaching assistant, you’ll join our university teaching team to support academic staff for 15 hours each week across all aspects of practice including facilitating group and one-to-one student sessions, teaching and assessment, as well as academic administration duties.

Our teaching and research assistant roles are a fantastic opportunity for postgraduate students to gain valuable academic and industry qualifications and experience on campus alongside their studies whilst earning a salary to help support their studies.

Our Postgraduate Studentship Scheme provides a fantastic development opportunity, enabling you to complement your postgraduate study with important real-world research within a paid position at Hartpury. We have a limited number of positions at one time, making this a much sought after opportunity.

If you have a physical or mental disability or specific learning difficulty that means additional support is needed to undertake a UK Research and Innovation funded studentship, you may be eligible for additional expenditure for the costs of study-related requirements that may be incurred as a result. Please enquire.

All Hartpury University graduates receive a 20% discount for studying a master's course with us, and 10% from professional course fees. It's a great way to develop your specialist subject expertise and employability as part of a passionate academic community that's familiar to you.

This can only be applied for once studies have commenced. All MRes students can apply for a £1,000 bursary to support a specific and valuable element of their research project. Please speak to your personal tutor for further information.

This can only be applied for once studies have commenced. PhD students can apply for up to £1,000 extra research project support for each year of study (full-time students, up to £500 for part-time students). Please speak to your personal tutor for further information.
