A Four Star University QS Stars has given us four stars. That means we are highly international, demonstrating excellence in teaching, innovation and graduate employment, with an excellent environment for students and staff.
Athena Swan We’re serious about gender equality. We want an equal number of men and women on our science and engineering courses, for instance. Our commitment was recognised in 2015 with the Athena SWAN Bronze Award.

Open Days Come and see for yourself For a big decision like which university to choose, it really is a good idea to visit and see it for yourself. An Open Day is a great way to come and check out what’s on offer. You’ll meet the lecturers, get to look around the campus and bump into lots of current students too. Don’t be afraid to ask them some tough questions. They can give you the lowdown on exactly what it’s like studying here.

Let’s start with ‘Why Huddersfield?’ You’re probably looking at various universities, trying to weigh up what is good about this one? What’s better about that one? Where’s the best location? Who’s got the best facilities? There’s lots to think about, so we’ve created this handy section which gives you some quick answers to the question ‘Why Huddersfield?’. From teaching excellence to student experience, work placements to graduate employment; we could go on and on. But we know your time is precious, so see this as our greatest hits.

Why us?
We’re recognised as a centre of teaching excellence. Here are our top reasons why. • We are one of the four leading institutions in the UK for National Teaching Fellowships, winning a total of fifteen since 2008.*** Think of them like the teaching Oscars – they rate the UK’s best lecturers. It’s part of our drive for teaching excellence, which helps you achieve great things too.
• We’re one of only three universities in Yorkshire to have been rated gold for our teaching in the TEF.* The Teaching Excellence Framework has been introduced by the Government and aims to recognise and reward excellent learning and teaching. • We were the first university in England to achieve recognition as having the highest proportion of professionally-qualified teaching staff.** Just under 95% of our academic staff hold an appropriate teaching qualification.
• We’re the first and only UK university where 100% of permanent teaching staff † are Fellows of the Higher Education Academy. So you’ll learn from some of the best, helping you be the best.
• In 2017, we won the first annual Global Teaching Excellence Award, recognising our commitment to world-class teaching and success in developing students as independent learners and critical thinkers. The awards are organised by the Higher Education Academy and entries were received from five continents.
*The University of Huddersfield’s TEF Gold rating was awarded in June 2017. The next TEF rating is due to be published in June 2021 (subject to government policy). **HESA – First awarded in 2016, maintained in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Dr Todd Borlik. Senior Lecturer in English Literature
Why us?
In a class above. What better way to demonstrate first class teaching than by speaking to one of our award-winning academics and their students? Dr Todd Borlik is a Senior Lecturer in English Literature. Born in Indianapolis, USA, we asked Todd what he loves most about teaching in the UK and at the University of Huddersfield: “The Yorkshire countryside is so striking and atmospheric and I was blown away by the stunning architecture. The University is a diverse and vibrant community and the teaching staff are truly dedicated to their students.”
“The teaching staff at Huddersfield are truly dedicated to their students”
What makes a great teacher? “Perhaps the most important thing a teacher can do is to radiate conviction in the significance of the subject. I wear my enthusiasm for Shakespeare on my sleeve.” One of Todd’s student’s Aaisha Raja, English Literature BA(Hons), agrees. “Todd’s a great teacher in many ways, but one of them is his ability to really make his subject matter relevant. Todd is incredibly engaging – he has the ability to interest everyone in the subject that he lectures about.”
How does teaching in the UK differ from your time at the University of Washington and Bloomsburg University? “Under the UK system you only teach students who have self-selected the subject and you stay with the same cohort for a three-year span. I get to know the students at Huddersfield much better, and my teaching has improved as a result.” Tell us about the Teaching and Learning prize awarded to you at Huddersfield. “In response to conversations with BAME (Black, Asian and minority ethnic) students, I rethought my approach to teaching Shakespeare and developed a module titled ‘Global Shakespeares’, which surveys the vibrant history of Shakespearean adaptation across cultures all over the world. The module was met with such enthusiasm from students that it won the ‘Diversity Prize for Curriculum Innovation’. The award was indisputably one of the highlights of my teaching career.”
“Todd is incredibly engaging – he has the ability to interest everyone.” Aaisha Raja, English Literature BA(Hons)

Why us?
We’re in the top 15 in the UK for placement years in industry.* You might also know them as sandwich courses. Placements are a key part of the courses at Huddersfield. We know how much employers value graduates who have real-world experience on their CV and that’s why we encourage our students to make the most of the opportunities available. Our students have worked with companies such as the BBC, UK Ministry of Justice, Pfizer, NHS and Bang & Olufsen to name but a few. We asked Priscilla, one of our students, to tell us a bit about her placement year working as a Research Trainee sponsored by Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA. “I studied Pharmaceutical Chemistry MSci and I always wanted to be involved in the organic aspect of small molecule drug discovery. My 12-month placement was as a Research Trainee at LDDN (Laboratory for Drug Discovery in Neurodegeneration) in Massachusetts. It was established to discover small molecules to develop a new generation of drugs to treat neurodegenerative diseases. “I was one of six British students from different universities working alongside American staff. I feel so privileged to have gained hands-on experience every day in the lab. “I chose to go on an international placement so I could learn to work independently and experience life in another country. The memories you get to create are so precious. One moment I’ll never forget is visiting Niagara Falls.

Why us?
Real-world experience. We believe in preparing our students to impress employers when they go into the jobs market, so strong links with the working world are important. Our strong industry links might mean you’ll attend guest masterclasses from industry insiders or work on a live brief set by one of our industry partners. Take the example of our graphic design courses. They have regular visits from Territory Studio – a global production company – who are creative specialists in motion design, visual effects and digital experiences. Their film credits include Blade Runner 2049, The Martian and Ready Player One.
Ready Player One – © 2017 Warner Bros
Rhyan, one of our Graphic Design BA(Hons) students, has really loved Territory Studio’s visits, which have offered him a unique insight into real world creative practice. “Territory Studio was my favourite guest lecture. It was awesome to hear first-hand from the people who designed for big production films like Avengers: Age of Ultron and create content for some of the most iconic scenes in Marvel history.” Rhyan goes on to say, “David Sheldon-Hicks talked about their experience working with different clients, the process of design and the differences between generalists and specialists. It was really inspiring and helped me focus on what I’d like to achieve when I graduate.”
“I’ve been impressed by how Huddersfield’s creative courses are in constant communication with industry to ensure that students develop a globally competitive skills base.” David Sheldon-Hicks, Founder of Territory Studio

We help people like Sam. He’s one of our ninety-seven percenters. Our impressive record for graduate employment shows how much confidence employers have in our students. Our emphasis on degrees that include industry experience and prepare you for the real world means you could have that extra advantage when it comes to applying for jobs. Graduate Sam told us a bit about how he had a great start to his career after leaving Huddersfield.
“I graduated in 2015 in Business Management BA(Hons). As part of my degree I completed a twelve-month work placement with Lloyds Banking Group where I worked as a Project Management Office Analyst. My role involved supporting project and programme managers within my team with various tasks, from planning and resourcing the projects to forecasting budgets and chairing meetings. This experience led to me receiving an offer from Lloyds Banking Group Risk Graduate Scheme. “Since completing this graduate scheme I’ve secured three managerial roles, with my current being as a Manager within Conduct, Compliance and Operational Risk. My team oversees our Community Banking network. Our role is to conduct independent reviews of various elements of specific business areas to ensure they are managing their risks appropriately. Long term I want to develop my career within Risk and explore other disciplines.”

Careers support that works Got your career path all mapped out? Then you’re pretty unusual. Most people coming to university know what subjects they’re into, but aren’t sure where those subjects are going to take them. That’s all part of the excitement. We can help you begin to work out your options and focus on where you want to be in the future. We offer lots of employment and careers support. Not just while you’re here, by the way, but throughout your working life.

Careers support that works
First things first. Before you start applying for jobs, you need to know what your options are. It sounds simple, but unless you know what’s out there, you could be missing out on your perfect career. Our Careers and Employability Service can show you what’s possible, and is well placed to give you the support you need to ace that job interview.
Advice forever We offer all our students careers advice for life, meaning you can access support for the duration of your career.
Just imagine what you could get involved in: • Part-time jobs • Internships • Work shadowing • Student societies • Becoming a Student Course Rep • Becoming a Student Ambassador • Professional experience EmployableME kicks in from day one. As soon as you’re a student here, we’ll be looking out for ways to help you get a fulfilling and rewarding job when you graduate.
Getting out there The Careers and Employability Service can help you find work opportunities and to apply. There’s also one-to-one guidance to help you work out your career options. Our JobShop has lots of opportunities for paid work. So you can start getting experience as soon as you get here. The cash will come in handy too!
Supporting you
Getting involved We want to help you give it your very best shot. That’s what EmployableME is all about. We encourage you to get involved with activities that could help you stand out in the jobs market. That could be either as part of your course or in your own time.
If you’ve got your heart set on a particular career, look out for our development workshops. Careers Advisers and employers often come along to give talks on particular career options. There is also the annual Grad Jobs Fair, which is a great opportunity to meet with top graduate employers to discuss their graduate opportunities. Take a look at hud.ac.uk/uni-life/support if you’d like to know more.

The Enterprise Team OK. You’ve got a bright business idea or a small bedroom enterprise, but what next? Creating employable graduates is something we’re really proud of here at the University. We’re here to help you turn that spark of an idea into a roaring success.
Enterprise Placement Year If you think you’ve got what it takes, you could choose to set up and run your own business during an Enterprise Placement Year* – instead of taking a conventional work placement with an employer. Over the years, we’ve helped (and are helping) lots of students like you take the first step on a really exciting journey, just like Peter.
Peter Shaw Barnsley Barbell Limited, Enterprise Development BA(Hons) Peter runs Barnsley Barbell Limited, a private personal training facility that provides Olympic weightlifting and bootcamps. Since its launch in 2016, the business has gone from strength to strength and has received financial backing from various funding resources, enabling Peter to invest in equipment and move to bigger premises. “For the past five years, the Enterprise Team have provided me with endless support and encouragement.

“Choosing to undertake an Enterprise Placement Year (EPY) was the most fulfilling decision we made during our course. The boundless expertise of the Enterprise Team helped us first establish our footing in a competitive industry, enabling not only the foundation for our success but then a catalyst to further our business development.

The Library We like it when stuff just works and we’re pretty sure you do too. We believe equipment and systems should be simple without anyone having to resort to technobabble to be able to use them. It’s why you’ll have a single login for WiFi (which you can use anywhere on campus), email and all the software you’ll need for your course. You’ll also have oodles of storage for your work – on and off campus. Of course, because we keep investing in our facilities and technology, you’ll be studying in an environment that reflects what things

The Library
are like in the real world too. No matter what subject you study. The Library Our Library is pretty special. It contains over 1200 study places and over 530 ultra modern PCs and Macs. And there’s a huge number of books and journal articles for you to make use of. Around 330,000 in print form and literally millions in digital format. You’ll be able to find information easily via our MyReading system that you can use whenever you want, wherever you want.
So what do our current students think of it all? Well, in the 2019 National Student Satisfaction (NSS) survey, their satisfaction with the Library was above average when compared to other universities. In fact our students gave us a 91.58% satisfaction rating. While you’re here you’ll be able to call on: • Specialist subject librarians – real people, trained to help you find the info you need • The Huddersfield UniApp, which includes a personalised timetable just in case you lose your own copy • Over 150 laptops and Macbooks available for loan, 24 hours a day
A unique heritage archive What’s the shape of archives to come? We reckon it’s curvy. Our ‘Big Curvy Screen’ is a dynamic interface that lets you plunge into a fascinating collection of historic material. Just wave your hand and you’ll be immersed in surround-sound material and be able to browse through our collections on a seven metre long wall.

Learning a language Doing business in another country is so much easier if you speak the language. So is buying a sandwich. It will impress almost everyone – including potential employers. It also means you won’t go hungry.
We’ll aim to help you improve your language skills, whether you’re a complete beginner or you already know your way around the regular verbs. You can choose to study in the way that suits you:
A degree could make you attractive to an employer. But a degree with a modern language alongside it could make you a very hot prospect indeed. And just think of all those places you could be jetting off to.
1. As a minor subject Some courses include a language as a minor subject. This would take up about a third of your studies and appear on your degree certificate. Take a look at the ‘modern language’ courses in our index page.
There’s a wide range of languages you can study, including: • Arabic • Chinese (Mandarin) • French • German • Italian • Japanese • Spanish • British Sign Language • Professional English (for non-native speakers) And it’s not all about the lingo. Our courses also give you an insight into the culture and customs of other countries.
2. As an option with your degree Some of our courses let you take a modern language as a module option. You’ll get one language class a week. You can see module options for each course at courses.hud.ac.uk 3. As independent study You can go it alone and study a language in your own time, as part of structured language classes. It won’t be part of your degree, but you’ll still come away with new or improved language skills and a letter of completion. It may impress potential employers, and you’ll get to meet students from all sorts of other courses too. If your course has a placement year, you could consider a year abroad too. You can find out more at hud.ac/languages

4. International study If you’d like to study outside the UK without learning the language, that’s no problem.

A university degree is a great investment in the future. So let’s take a look at how much it’s going to cost, and the support available.
Fees and finance It costs £9,250 a year to study at Huddersfield. That’s the same as most other universities. If you take a placement year we charge £1,000* to pay for the cost of your tutor support and admin during the year. You don’t pay upfront The Government could give you a Tuition Fee Loan to meet your study costs. So you won’t have to pay anything for tuition before you start. You’ll only start paying the loan back once you’ve left university and have got a job where you’re earning £25,725 or more. Your employer will simply take the repayments from your salary in the same way they’ll take out any tax you have to pay.
Previous study Your eligibility for funding could be affected by previous undergraduate study. Your eligibility could also be affected by previous or current residence outside the EU. Contact Student Finance England to check your eligibility. What you pay back each month This is based on what you earn, not how much you borrow. Your payments won’t start until you earn £25,725 or more per year. The table below shows you how much you might pay:
Annual salary*
Repayments per month
£25,725

Fees and finance
Help with living costs If you’re eligible, you could get a Maintenance Loan to help with day-to-day costs. You could get up to £9,203* a year. The actual amount depends on your household income. You pay it back in the same way you pay back your Tuition Fee Loan.
If you have children Don’t let the cost of childcare put you off going to university. There are lots of ways you can get help with funding. To find out more about the Childcare Grant, call Student Finance England on 0300 100 0607, or visit gov.uk/childcare-grant
University of Huddersfield scholarships We’re here to help too. Every year we give out up to 1,000 scholarships of £1,000 each. If your household income is less than £25,000 and you get at least 120 UCAS points, then a scholarship could be in the pipeline. You don’t even need to apply, we’ll check if you’re eligible when you enrol and then automatically pay the scholarship money into your bank account.

Once you’ve chosen your course and uni, here comes another decision to make. Where to live? At home with Mum and Dad perhaps (unless they’ve got designs on your room). Or at the very heart of student life in halls of residence. There’s plenty to choose from.
Accommodation Right from the start we should say that we don’t offer accommodation directly. We do that through DIGS Student. A privately-owned company that specialises in providing high quality, affordable accommodation with a fantastic student experience. DIGS is our preferred, recommended and approved accommodation provider and guarantees to find you a place in student accommodation.
DIGS operates Storthes Hall Park and Ashenhurst Houses and you can live with DIGS for the duration of your studies - not just the first year! Plus, DIGS offers great loyalty packages for the students living with them. Both options offer a fantastic student experience but differ slightly with Storthes Hall Park offering ensuite shared flats and Ashenhurst Houses being more traditional house-style living. Keep reading to discover more about the DIGS experience and the different options available to you.

What’s going on?
How did you get involved with the Students’ Union? Before I applied to do my placement year with the SU, I’d applied for a student staff position. I got both! I had to forgo the student staff role and buckle up for the placement, and it was the best decision ever. What’s the best thing about working with the Students’ Union? I love being a part of something big. I’m working with enthusiastic people, making sure student life is great, and it’s an amazing feeling. As a student, I think it’s important that our voices are heard – and the SU will make that happen. And I’m part of it! What kind of projects are you involved with in your role? I’m working on the Liberation Campaign Networks, which focus on students who are BAME, (Black, Asian and minority Ethnic) disabled, LGBT+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Plus) and/or women. We make sure these students are heard and supported. I’m also working on the Inspiring Future Leaders programme. How do you feel this experience is helping you develop for life after uni? Not only is it a 9-5 job, I’m now more disciplined and always excited for new challenges. After working with so many different people on so many different things, I’m hoping I can apply all these experiences to future challenges! Describe the Students’ Union in three words… Fun – Empowering – Inclusive.

The majority of our sports clubs participate in university, national and regional leagues under the recognised banner of BUCS – British University & College Sport. *Price in 2019/20 academic year. This may change in subsequent years.
Our sports clubs range from those you might expect, like football and netball, to some you might not, like archery and frisbee! Our Ultimate Frisbee Club is known for being very active on campus, particularly during its ‘Days of Throws’ fundraising event when the team aims to keep a frisbee moving for five solid days to raise money for its charity of the year. Varsity is the Students’ Union’s biggest annual sports competition, when our teams face off against local rivals the University of Bradford. More than 2,000 students go head-to-head in competitions on and off the pitch.

Before I came to university, I honestly had no idea what to expect. The one thing I was certain of was that I was nervous. Questions rushed around my head; how am I going to survive away from home? What if I struggle to make friends? Did I pick the right degree?… Going to university is a big deal! At first, I wasn’t sure whether university was for me. I had already spent 14 years in education and neither of my parents went to uni, but after going to my first Open Day here in Huddersfield I was excited to start - and after a couple more visits, I was hooked. Because I study Drama, I had to come for an audition as part of the application process. The thrill of being able to perform for my possible-future lecturers exhilarated my newly-found passion, and I was really looking forward to starting my course. I love being a drama student here, I now know that I made the right choice to continue my educational passions in Huddersfield. Before coming to university, I thought that the social life was solely about nights out on the town. But, there’s more to it than that! My friends and I make the most of being surrounded by cities known for their music scenes, meaning that we are often queuing up for gigs and festivals in our spare time.
“It is wonderful to be able to say that university has introduced me to lifelong friends!” 60

Tips and things to remember
There’s a lot of difference between what you think uni will be like, vs. the reality. That’s why I’ve included my tips and things to remember below… Everyone is in the same boat. Don’t worry! It’s easier to talk to people than you may think, give it a go!
by Tom
The SU website is a great place to find information on societies and socials! That’s the easiest way to meet people, both on and outside of your course. Uni is more than lectures, there are all kinds of incredible opportunities to take advantage of. Make time to check out the surrounding areas, such as Greenhead Park and Castle Hill, both known for their beautiful scenery. Take advantage of the Welcome Week events. Not only are they incredibly fun, but they are easy ways to make new friends and strengthen new relationships with course mates and new flat mates!

When I first came to university and got my first weekly allowance from the ‘bank of mum and dad’, it was so tempting to spend it all in one shopping trip. However, it has to last and you have to learn to manage money. Budgeting money is hard and scary at first, but you soon learn how to be careful with it. Here are a few tips that I have learnt: Savings account I currently have both a savings account and a ‘help to buy ISA’ and each week I try and put away £5-10 as you would be surprised how easily this builds up. You never know when you’ll need emergency cash for fixing your phone screen for example. Food It’s important to save money with food or you can end up cooking lots of plain pasta! I know typically I spend £30-40 on food shopping a week and £10 for drinks/food when at university. Then, the rest of my weekly allowance can be extra for clothes, travel etc. I usually write out a list of exactly what I need each week, what I might need for social things or if I need new clothes and plan every penny and do my best to stick to it. I recommend taking your own lunch out with you. Buy a good Tupperware, or bee wax wraps for sandwiches (they’re great for reusing and keeping plastic pollution down) as preparing your own lunches can help keep the cost down. Jobs Part-time jobs can definitely help with that bit of extra cash. Just make sure you don’t do too many hours or it may cut into your study time. The University has plenty of part-time jobs to fit in around your studies and most are on or around campus.

Campus crush
by Abbi
The Library – yes, you read right! My favourite place on campus is our a-mazing library! But why, I hear you cry, is the library your favourite place? With five floors of books, loads of group study rooms and computers, and normally open 24/7 with the loveliest staff – our library will never do you wrong! Need a quiet place to sit? Go to the library. Need a reference book? Go to the library. Need a place to meet for a group project? Go to the library. In short, the library is my campus crush thanks to its incredible resources and lovely staff – definitely worth a look next time you come to visit us!
Little campus gems Team Hud Been sat in a seminar for two hours and developing restless leg syndrome? Take a trip down to the third floor of Student Central and do a class or spend time in the fantastic Team Hud gym. If you need some motivation, Team Hud’s trained staff are here to help – with a variety of programmes adapted to suit you perfectly, every day is a gym day! The canal Head down to the canal on campus and take a walk surrounded by beautiful trees and listen to the wind and the ducks. You might even encounter some canal boats making their way through the locks. Heritage Quay Did you know that we have our own archive? Well, we do! Heritage Quay is based in the Schwann Building, just past the library, and is home to a whole range of strange and wonderful objects. It’s definitely worth taking a look at their exhibitions which change seasonally and can display everything from Ted Hughes’ manuscripts to Bamforth postcards!

Favourite places to grab a cuppa and chill Arcade Coffee & Food
Tucked away in Byram Arcade is a personal favourite of mine when it comes to getting a lunch that satisfies. There is no doubt in my mind that they are the undisputed king for vegetarian food, as all their options are great and mouthwatering to think about.
Coffeevolution
Looking for something that is affordable and cosy, then Coffeevolution is the place to go. It has good customer service, great bagels, and coffee to die for. In my opinion, Coffeevolution is Huddersfield’s hidden gem.
Coffee Boy
Close to the University and en route from the student accommodation to campus, Coffee Boy is the perfect place to catch up with friends first thing on your way to lectures, do a bit of work and grab a bite to eat, or pop in (or even drive through!) on your way home.
Costa
If you want something more familiar then lucky enough for you there is a Costa, actually scratch that, two Costas that are a five-minute walk away from the Uni. When it comes to seasonal drinks and snacks, you can’t get better than them. You’ll also find a Costa on campus in the Oastler Building.

Kingsgate Shopping Centre Right on the door step of the Uni, Kingsgate is a great place for students to shop all year round. There are retail shops like New Look and Top Shop which almost always have some sort of sale on - perfect for when you need new clothes but don’t want to break the bank. There are also a few places you can grab a bite to eat, for mini breaks in your shopping hauls or even in between lectures when you have time to kill.
Packhorse Shopping Centre Packhorse Shopping Centre is filled with all sorts of interesting shops, from Redd Boutique (the perfect place to find a bargain) as well as my personal favourite, Wild Wick. They sell everything from Himalayan salt lamps to a wide range of crystals - perfect for gifts or even as a treat to yourself!
Byram Arcade There’s not another place in Huddersfield like the Byram Arcade. There are loads of unique shops like Crafty Praxis and Hidden De-lights. It’s also home to the Craft Fair which happens every month – it’s a great place to buy unique pressies for your friends and family!

It’s hosted in partnership with our local theatre the Lawrence Batley which offers the perfect backdrop to Pride. There’s a little bit for everyone, and isn’t that the point? From drag shows to DJ’s, poetry to power ballads and plenty of glitter - Huddersfield Pride is making a name for itself and is one to remember!

Top 5 bars and nightclubs 1. The Lord Wilson – If you don’t go to Spoons for pre-drinks, then are you even a university student?! Wetherspoons is one of my favourite bars to kickstart the night with cheap drinks accompanied by a great atmosphere to get the party started! 2. Five – This is another one of my favourite nightclubs. Though small, it is perfect for live music and has the cutest rooftop terrace. You’ll definitely feel like you’re Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling in your own version of ‘La La Land’! 3. Revolution – More commonly known as ‘Revs’ among the student population, if you’re looking for a posh night out then Revs is definitely the place to go. Complete with comfort-food favourites and the swankiest of cocktails, Revs is certainly a bar to check out. Remember to get hold of a society card, which includes offers such as 50% off food and 2-4-1 cocktails – who doesn’t like to save some pennies? 4. Bar Maroc – The place for pizza, a pint and a chat – for mates, dates and for when your parents come to visit. With their famous handmade veggie pizzas and an array of local beers – and the longest running open mic night in Huddersfield – Bar Maroc is one not to miss! 5. Sketch – Somewhere in Huddersfield, a small lantern lights up an inconspicuous looking doorway – find it and head down the neon-lit stairs to discover Sketch, Huddersfield’s very own prohibition-style bar. With an amazing array of cocktails and drinks, Sketch offers both a relaxing place to share a drink, or somewhere to party the night away!

by Joseph So, leaving home...scared? Well you shouldn’t be, just think about it this way, the majority of people in halls will be first years in the same situation you are. I’m here to give you three little tips and tricks to make moving in a lot easier, so sit back and enjoy!
Packing – in my opinion you don’t need to bring loads of extra bits, obviously bring: toothbrush, toothpaste and soap. Huddersfield has many small, local shops as well as big supermarkets so you will easily be able to find little things to make your room your own. Also plan ahead – will you be going home again before it starts to get cold? If you are, then leave your warm clothes at home until then. Make sure you have a door stop – it’s an odd thing to get I agree but that little door stop is the key to getting over the awkward moment of introducing yourself to your new flat mates. By simply keeping the door open it will give you the chance just to say hi which may seem like a little thing but it really is good for helping you get along. Go and explore the town as a group – go for a wander or have a meal. These are the people you are living with for around the next year so just go and enjoy yourself, believe me, these are going to be some of the best years of your life!

I moved into a private house with friends in my second year. Being a Drama student this extra space came in very useful, especially in the run up to deadlines! I shared this house with a few of my course friends. Together we filled our house with lots of home furnishings, it didn’t look or feel like a typical student house at all. When looking for a student house I would recommend: • Viewing the property that you want to live in We viewed so many properties before we found our perfect house. We wanted to make sure that we all had good bedrooms and enough space for our friends to come and visit. We also didn’t want to be too far away from Uni. It’s definitely worth doing your research! • Being aware of what is included in your rent Some landlords don’t include utility bills, like gas and electric. My rent for this particular house didn’t include these so we had to organise how we would split the charges between us. This may sound tricky, but don’t worry there are lots of handy tools online that can help you, such as ‘Split the Bills’. • E xploring the area that the house is in During my second year I went on lots of little walks in my area. It was a great way to discover new things in Huddersfield!
Even though moving out would be nice, for the simple fact of having more independence, I’m very happy that I decided to stay at home for the first two years at Uni. For starters, I didn’t need to worry about moving all my belongings from one place to another. It also meant that I didn’t need to stress about whether I would settle in my new place. In addition to all of that, it was nice and reassuring to have support from my family when I needed it, such as reminding me about deadlines for assignments. It should also go without saying that I met new friends, who attend the same University, whilst commuting. This meant journeys to Huddersfield were always enjoyable and never dull.

“It’s like having a second family. I came with my own family and now I have a DIGS family. DIGS run a scheme called ‘Chat with Pat’ – Pat is the Welfare Officer on site. One of my best chats was with Pat, she’s like a second Mum to me.”
Ashley

Have your say DIGS listens to the student voice. They run student surveys and have a student council with monthly meetings for students to idea share and give feedback to pave the way for future developments. “DIGS always listen to what the students want. They run a campaign called ‘You Said, We Did’, which basically means they take our feedback and act on it. It makes living at DIGS a better place as everything they do is for us.”

“When I applied to be a Block Rep, I was in my first year and I was looking to stay on at Storthes for another year. I didn’t want to leave what had been my home for eight months or so. I think the reason I had such a great experience is because of how welcome the previous Block Reps made me feel. As I am an outgoing and friendly person, I wanted to give the new lot of Storthes residents a similar, if not better, experience.”

Types of study Perhaps you want to mix it up, with a course that combines a couple of subjects. And you probably want to make yourself as employable as possible by getting some work experience. Lots of our courses offer placement years, giving you the chance to get out in the real world and experience employment while you’re still studying. You can study with us as a full-time or part-time student. Classes take place during the daytime and, for some courses, in the evening. Whatever subject you’re interested in, a degree from the University of Huddersfield could help you take your first steps into an exciting career. You can choose from four types of courses at Huddersfield: Bachelor’s degree If you’re studying full-time, a normal Bachelor’s degree takes three years. Lots of our degrees also give you the chance to take a placement or ‘sandwich’ year to build up your work experience. That would mean that your course would usually take four years in total. Once you’ve graduated you’ll be able to put some letters after your name: • • • • •
Bachelor of Arts – BA(Hons) Bachelor of Engineering – BEng(Hons) Bachelor of Laws – LLB(Hons) Bachelor of Music – BMus(Hons) Bachelor of Science – BSc(Hons)

Types of study
Top-up If you’ve already got a Foundation degree or a qualification like an HND, then a top-up course gives you the chance to build on that and study for a full Honours level degree. It takes just a year full-time. Integrated Master’s degree If you like, you can combine undergraduate and postgraduate study for some courses. Our Integrated Master’s degrees last four years, or five if you spend a year on a placement. The first two years are normally the same as the equivalent BSc or BEng course. You’ll be expected to do well in your first two years and then move on to specialise in subject areas that particularly interest you. At the end of the course you’ll earn a Master’s level degree. We offer a range to choose from: • • • • •
Master of Engineering – MEng Master of Chemistry – MChem Master of Science – MSci Master of Social Work – MSci Master of Pharmacy – MPharm

UCAS will get in touch with them directly. You can find out how to apply on the UCAS website. Download the guide to applying from ucas.com Once you’ve applied we’ll keep in touch with you throughout the application process, so you’re up to speed with what’s going on.

How to apply
One more thing. Taking a gap year gives you the chance to go travelling or get some handy work experience before your degree. You probably won’t get the chance again, so it’s worth thinking about.

You can apply to us direct at hud.ac.uk/undergraduate/howtoapply

If you’ve got a head for figures you could get ahead in a great career. Accountancy, banking and management consultancy, government, journalism; organisations are crying out for people who know how the numbers work.
So it’s not just about the figures on paper, it’s about how things happen in the real world.
Every business asks different things of its financial experts. You could end up being responsible for cash flow, or carrying out financial audits, for example. So we’ll start out by giving you a thorough grounding in all areas of accountancy and finance before offering you the chance to go into your own chosen field. You’ll get a real feel for successful organisations – how they are financed and managed. And you’ll be taught by people who don’t just have strong academic backgrounds, many have years of experience in the professional world too.

Our Modern Languages Programme allows you to study a modern language alongside your degree programme.
Are you fascinated by how language works and what people can do with it? Language is a uniquely human phenomenon with lots of intricate aspects to explore.
If you choose our Creative Writing route, you’ll develop your own writing techniques and skills, crafting your work for publication.

From analysing conversation to examining child language acquisition, our courses offer a wide range of modules. As a student with us, you will use state-of-the-art facilities like our forensic linguistics lab, our research and resource centre and our conference labs. They’re all fully equipped with the tools needed for specialist linguistics work. You can also get involved with our in-house popular linguistics magazine, Babel, too. You can combine your studies in English Language or Linguistics with a number of other fields through our joint courses. Choosing the joint English Language and Literature course allows you to look deeper into the effects of language as used in poetry, novels, sagas and plays.

At Huddersfield we offer three different, but inter-related, degrees in geography that are underpinned by the principles of sustainability, particularly the concept of planetary boundaries. Our Geography degrees aim to stimulate your curiosity and position you for a wide range of career choices. Depending on where your interests lie, there’s the Geography BSc(Hons), which combines elements of human and physical geography, Human Geography BSc(Hons), which focuses on how society has evolved to exploit spaces or Physical Geography BSc(Hons), which specialises in the physical world we inhibit. To secure a job, you’re going to have to show that you’ve got the practical skills to deliver, so we include an optional work placement year, in the third year of our courses, for you to gain that all-important real-world experience. We also firmly believe in ‘learning through doing’ and since fieldwork is an integral part of any geographers training, you’ll find that we’ve embedded field trips into all three of our Geography degrees, so you can fully embrace the fantastic opportunities that learning in the field presents.

You could study abroad for a term on most of our Politics courses. Previous students have studied in America, France, Italy and Spain.
All of our Politics courses offer you the opportunity to undertake a 90-hour work placement, helping to give you the essential skills employers are looking for.***
Politics isn’t a spectator sport where you take notes on things happening in Westminster, so our courses encourage you to take part. If you’re passionate about a cause, if you have strong views on how the world could be changed, then this subject could be for you.
You’ll be taught by lecturers who are experts in their field and regularly feature as commentators in the media. They know the issues and are passionate about them. You’ll be encouraged to put forward your own views, challenge your peers and lecturers, as well as engage in healthy debates.
As society becomes more globalised, politics is changing. You need to know how decisions are made, and sometimes how compromises are arrived at. Studying politics could give you a good grounding in the factors that are driving change all around us, and how to make a difference yourself. So we do all we can to get you out of the lecture theatre and into the thick of it.
We encourage you to get involved in campus politics too. From student-led debates through to the active Politics Society, you can get involved and get your voice heard. It’ll all help to build those essential skills that employers from a wide range of sectors are looking for, like setting forth a compelling argument, persuading people and getting things done.
There will be opportunities to gain a 90-hour work placement at the front line of politics. Working for an MP, a non-governmental organisation, a media outlet, or an education facility. If you’re up for the challenge, you’ll soon be living and breathing politics.
Previous students have gone on to work in formal or electoral politics, education, the media, business, charities, human resources and within local government.**

International Baccalaureate Official title: IBO International Baccalaureate Diploma The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Grade is achieved by passing each of the required H7 components and achieving a total IB point score of 24 or more. The IB Diploma does not attract H6 H5 UCAS Tariff points. However, the constituent qualifications of the IB Diploma do. The Tariff H4 points for an IB Diploma can be calculated by H3 adding together the Tariff points for each of its H2 components. Note that the Creativity Action H1 Service (CAS) component is not accredited and does not attract Tariff points. 162

Important info and the legal bit This prospectus was prepared in the winter of 2019 for courses starting in September 2021 and is up to date as at the date of publication. Any subsequent changes to information will be published in the course information listings on our website courses.hud.ac.uk, and you should check this for the latest information before you apply. Changes to the course you have applied for If we propose to make a major change to a course that you are holding an offer for, then we will tell you as soon as possible so that you can decide whether to withdraw your application prior to enrolment. Changes to the course after you enrol as a student We will always try to deliver your course and other services as described. However, sometimes we may have to make changes as set out below: Changes to option modules Where your course allows you to choose modules from a range of options, we will review these each year and change them to reflect the expertise of our staff, current trends in research and as a result of student feedback or demand for certain modules. We will always ensure that you have a range of options to choose from and we will let you know in good time the options available for you to choose for the following year. Major changes We will only make major changes to the core curriculum of a course or to our services if it is necessary for us to do so and provided such changes are reasonable. A major change in this context is a change that materially changes the services available to you; or the outcomes, or a significant part, of your course, such as the nature of the award or a substantial change to module content, teaching days (part-time provision), classes, type of delivery or assessment of the core curriculum.
166
Important info and the legal bit
For example, it may be necessary to make a major change to reflect changes in the law or the requirements of the University’s regulators; to meet the latest requirements of a commissioning or accrediting body; to improve the quality of educational provision; in response to student, examiners’ or other course evaluators’ feedback; and/or to reflect academic or professional changes within subject areas. Major changes may also be necessary because of circumstances outside our reasonable control, such as a key member of staff leaving the University or being unable to teach, where they have a particular specialism that can’t be adequately covered by other members of staff; or due to damage or interruption to buildings, facilities or equipment. Major changes would usually be made with effect from the next academic year, but this may not always be the case. We will notify you as soon as possible should we need to make a major change and will carry out suitable consultation with affected students. If you reasonably believe that the proposed change will cause you detriment or hardship we will, if appropriate, work with you to try to reduce the adverse effect on you or find an appropriate solution. Where an appropriate solution cannot be found and you contact us in writing before the change takes effect you can cancel your registration and withdraw from the University without liability to the University for future tuition fees. We will provide reasonable support to assist you with transferring to another university if you wish to do so. Termination of course In exceptional circumstances, we may, for reasons outside of our control, be forced to discontinue or suspend your course. Where this is the case, a formal exit strategy will be followed and we will notify you as soon as possible about what your options are, which may include transferring to a suitable replacement course for which you are qualified, being provided with individual teaching to complete the award for

which you were registered, or claiming an interim award and exiting the University. If you do not wish to take up any of the options that are made available to you, then you can cancel your registration and withdraw from the course without liability to the University for future tuition fees and you will be entitled to a refund of all course fees paid to date. We will provide reasonable support to assist you with transferring to another university if you wish to do so. Our agreement with you When you enrol as a student of the University, your study and time with us will be governed by a framework of regulations, policies and procedures, which form the basis of your agreement with us. Details of these, together with information regarding tuition fees and any applicable additional charges can be accessed from hud.ac.uk/undergraduate You should read these carefully before you enrol. Please note that this information is subject to change and you are advised to check our website regularly for any changes before you enrol at the University.
