It has a longstanding tradition of providing vocational education, the friendly and student-centred university continues to emphasise professional experience alongside academic study, with all students given the opportunity to undertake work placements and sandwich courses. Emphasis on work placements in almost all courses has resulted in exceptionally high figures for graduate employment – recent figures showed that Huddersfield was the sixth highest-placed provider for post-university employment.
Aided by strong industry links, Huddersfield also prides itself in being a leader in the field of enterprise.
Overseas study opportunities are available to students within Europe and further afield via Huddersfield’s partnerships with Hong Kong Polytechnic University and SUNY (State University of New York), among others.
The university comprises seven academic schools and is located in Huddersfield town centre, alongside the picturesque Narrow Canal and tree-lined towpath, old bridges and converted mills.
It recently opened Student Central, a new £22.5m development that brings together learning and leisure facilities under one roof.
With a lower cost of living compared to other parts of the UK, Huddersfield is a popular student destination. Mid-way between Leeds and Manchester, it offers easy access to two major northern cities as well as the great outdoors. The Peak District National Park is also within easy reach, which offers activities such as hiking, rock climbing, caving, sailing, quad biking, horse riding and more.
