Harper Adams University

Harper Adams University is a university located close to the village of Edgmond (near Newport), in Shropshire, England. It is the UK's leading specialist provider of higher education for the agri-food chain and rural sector.

Harper Adams opened in 1901 to six students after Thomas Harper Adams, a wealthy Shropshire gentleman farmer who had died in 1892, bequeathed the estate. Headworth Foulkes was the first principal of the College. In 1909 a specialist poultry husbandry was created.

The campus is in parkland on the outskirts of Edgmond near Newport, Shropshire. Since 2000, Harper Adams has rapidly expanded and improved its facilities, while introducing new ones. In 2003, the new Bamford Library opened. A year later, investments in new sports facilities followed.
