We have included a strong job-related element in all of our Degree programmes to give you the practical skills, as well as theoretical knowledge, so that you are 'instantly commercial' when you leave.

Hear from our students

Bradley Church

Level 3 Advanced Technical Diploma in Animal Management

"There are so many good memories, whether it be the informal yet engaging teaching style and absorbing lessons, the time spent with friends, to the light-hearted moments chatting with the staff. My time at Hadlow not only progressed me academically, but also grew me as a person as well."

Catherine Mitchell

City & Guilds L3 2019/20

"Floristry was a complete change of career for me. I was looking for a change from farming and after visiting the Hadlow stand at the Agricultural Expo at Detling showground, it seemed to me to be the obvious choice, due to both location and the availability of part-time floristry courses."

Clare Beadle

Animal Management

"There are many different exotics we get in – we’ve seen flamingos, snow leopards. We do get a varied amount of animals that come through."

Edward Hilton

Level 3 Extended Diploma in Agriculture

"Always dream big to achieve, strive to be the best you can be."

Eleanor Denniss

Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management, BSc (Hons) in Animal Conservation & Biodiversity

"There is no better group of lecturers to have behind you to succeed than those at Hadlow.” 

Jade Mellor

Horticulture

"I set up my own business, Wild Pickings, selling seasonal foraged wild foods. I focus on plant ID, gathering, teaching and also on cooking, preparing and eating wild food."

Jake Dorey

Level 3 Fisheries management & BSc Aquaculture and Fisheries Management

"I wanted to study fisheries management and when I started looking into land-based colleges for further education courses, Hadlow College was the most recommended to me. Learning specifically about a subject that I was really interested in was great, and I liked the mix of practical tasks as well as theory lessons."

Jo Russell

NCFE Creative Craft in Floristry. Wedding Floristry.

"I chose to attend Hadlow college as it was local to me and with a young family, I wanted to feel settled and close - my youngest was 6 months old when I started. I also knew that for a rural college it would have the feel I wanted - with the floristry department set within Broadview gardens."

Katherine Craft

City & Guilds Level 2 & 3 in Floristry

“I won The Wedding Industry Award for ‘Best Wedding Florist in the South East of England."

Kenny Raybould

"My career highlight was designing a show garden for Macmillan Cancer Support at the RHS Flower Show Tatton Park. We won a gold medal."

Laurence Vincent

Lewis Bennett

Fisheries Management Level 3 and BSc (Hons) Aquaculture & Fisheries

"My employer, a small salmon company in the northwest highlands of Scotland, was looking for someone with an academic background in aquaculture to innovate the company."

Matt O'Leary
