On 6 and 7 November 2025, we proudly celebrated the achievements of the Class of 2025 in the magnificent surroundings of Gloucester Cathedral. Together with family, friends, staff and supporters, more than 600 graduates crossed the stage to mark the end of one chapter and the beginning of an exciting new one.

This year’s ceremonies came at a particularly special moment for Hartpury, following our recognition as Specialist University of the Year 2026 in The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide. As graduates from sport, equine, agriculture, animal and veterinary nursing received their awards, leaders including Vice-Chancellor Professor Andy Collop and Chair of Governors Edward Keene offered their congratulations and encouragement for the journey ahead.

We were also delighted to honour three inspirational figures with honorary degrees, recognising exceptional contributions to sport, equestrian development and animal-assisted therapy.

Graduation is more than a celebration of success, it is a chance to reflect on what you have achieved, the network you now belong to, and the possibilities ahead. It marks your place within the Hartpury Alumni Community, whether you’re starting a career, pursuing further study or exploring new opportunities. We look forward to staying connected, sharing news, opportunities, events and the next chapter of your story.

Congratulations to the Class of 2025...here’s to what comes next!
