Our trophy cabinet The awards we’ve won don’t just make us feel proud. They give you an idea of what the University is like.

Teaching Excellence Framework Gold Award Huddersfield is a TEF gold-rated institution delivering consistently outstanding teaching and learning of the highest quality found in the UK (Teaching Excellence Framework, 2017). This TEF award was issued in June 2017, and lasts for four years until June 2021. The status of the award beyond this date is subject to Government policy.

Global Teaching Excellence Award We won the first Global Teaching Excellence Award. It recognised the University’s commitment to world-class teaching and its success in developing students as independent learners and critical thinkers (HEA, 2017).

University of the Year The Times Higher Education named us as University of the Year in November 2013. The award recognises a university that has demonstrated exceptional performance. They liked our “bold, imaginative and innovative initiatives.”

Queen’s Anniversary Prize In 2019 we won a Queen’s Anniversary Prize. It’s one of the most coveted honours in UK Higher Education and was earned in recognition of the innovations made by our Institute of Railway Research. This follows our 2015 Prize for expanding the global boundaries of new music.

A Five Star University QS Stars has given us Five Stars overall. This international benchmarking system renders Five Star universities as world-class in areas such as Teaching, Employability, Facilities, Innovation, Internationalisation and Inclusiveness.

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 and again in 2020 with the Athena SWAN Bronze Award.

Open Days

Open Days Find out all you need to know For a big decision like which university to choose, it really is a good idea to attend an Open Day and check out what’s on offer.

In 2021, we hope that you’ll get to visit our campus but if that can’t happen, our online Open Days are the next best thing. No matter how you attend, you’ll be able to hear from our lecturers, get to explore campus and

Why us?

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. • W e’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.

• W e are joint second in the country for National Teaching Fellowships, winning a total of 17 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 to achieve great things too.

• W e are joint-first in the UK for the proportion of professionallyqualified teaching staff and were the inaugural university to achieve recognition of this.** 94% of our academic staff hold an appropriate teaching qualification.

• W e were the first and are the only university in the UK 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.

• I n 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.

• I n the most recent National Student Survey, 80.30% of students agreed that their course had challenged them to achieve their best work and we achieved an overall student satisfaction score of 78.13%.††

**HESA – Initially awarded in 2016, maintained in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Joint first in 2020.

***2020 data. Permanent staff, after probation: some recently appointed colleagues will only obtain recognition in the months after their arrival in Huddersfield, once they have started teaching. †† NSS, 2020 †

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 Reader in English Literature. He’s from 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” How does teaching in the UK differ from your time at the University of Washington and Bloomsburg University?

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 students, Hanfaa Maqsood, English Literature BA(Hons), agrees. “Todd’s passion for his subject makes his lessons incredibly engaging. You can walk into Todd’s class believing you know a text and your opinions on it, but you’ll come out considering other viewpoints. Todd offers a multi-faceted approach to any text, so that a Shakespeare play written in the 17th Century holds a mirror to the contemporary world.”

“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.”

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 Pamela, one of our child nursing students, to tell us about the five months she spent on placement as a pre-registered nurse during the COVID-19 pandemic. “I undertook many placements in the NHS during my degree in a variety of settings. The one that stands out the most is my placement on a neonatal unit during the COVID-19 pandemic. “It was a scary time not knowing if I might take Coronavirus home to my family, however being able to support my NHS colleagues and help keep patients safe was enough to get me through the difficult moments. “I gained so much from the placement, which enabled the ward to see my work ethic and capabilities, and I’m now employed as a registered nurse in the neonatal unit. The support available at University and on placements will see you succeed.” *HESA Student Record 2018/19.

“I gained so much from the placement and I’m now employed as a registered nurse in the neonatal unit.” Pamela Bunn, Nursing (Child) BSc(Hons)

**Due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation, placement opportunities may be more limited, but with our excellent industry links and connections we’ll still do everything we can to ensure you have access to real-world experience throughout your course.

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, Ready Player One and the next Bond film, No Time To Die (yet to be released). Rhyan, a Graphic Design BA(Hons) student really loved Territory Studio’s visits, which 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 wanted to achieve when I graduated.”

“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

Why us?

We help people like Sam. He’s one of our ninety-four 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.”

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 are like in the real world too. No matter what subject you study.

The Library

The Library Our Library is pretty special. It contains over 1,200 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 online reading lists that you can use whenever you want, wherever you want.

So what do our current students think of it all? Well, in the 2020 National Student Satisfaction (NSS) survey, our students gave us a 88.98% 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 • T he MyHud app, which includes a personalised timetable just in case you lose your own copy • O ver 150 laptops and Macbooks available for loan, 24 hours a day Find out more about what our library can offer you at library.hud.ac.uk

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.

Equality, diversity and inclusion A continuing commitment to equality means that all students, and staff, should have equal opportunities to reach their full potential at Huddersfield. This is supported by a number of initiatives. Here are just a few:

Race equality The University has signed up to Advance HE’s Race Equality Charter which helps universities to improve the representation, progression and success of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) students and staff within Higher Education. As part of our commitment, we are developing initiatives and solutions to improve race equality across the University.

Gender equality We hold an Athena SWAN Bronze Award for gender equality. The Athena SWAN Charter is a framework used across the globe to support and transform gender equality within Higher Education and research. The Charter guides institutions on how to achieve their gender equality objectives in terms of representation, student progression, career development and the working environment.

LGBTQ+ The vibrant colours of the LGBTQ+ movement, proudly displayed at the entrance of the University, send out a permanent message of inclusiveness and tolerance – everyone is welcome at the University of Huddersfield. The transformed zebra crossing was unveiled during National Inclusion Week in September 2019. Broaden My Bookshelf Broaden My Bookshelf is an initiative to increase the range of books in the Library written by authors from a BAME background, and also books by and about LGBT+ people. Students can suggest books to the Library, and there’s also a display of recommendations in the Library foyer.

Make a change! The Students’ Union runs five volunteer, student-led networks that are defined and directed by their individual members. This includes the BAME Ambassadors, Disabled Students Network, Global Students Network, LGBT+ Students Network and the Women’s Network. If you’re passionate, motivated and identify with any of these networks, you could get involved to ensure that students are heard, better represented and their views are voiced from a position of authenticity.

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.

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.

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 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 also consider a year abroad. Languages and levels are subject to availability. You can find out more at hud.ac/languages

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 over £26,575. 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 over £26,575 per year. The table below shows you how much you might pay:

What’s going on?

How did you get involved in the Students’ Union? I first got involved in the SU when I did my placement year as the Student Engagement Assistant two years ago and had the chance to work alongside the Liberation Networks. During that time, I was part of the committee to start the Blog & Vlog Society and also joined the Women in Leadership programme all in one year! 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 – the SU will make that happen. And I’m part of it! What kind of projects are you involved with in your role? I work with our five campaign networks, making sure that students are heard, better represented and voice their views from a position of authenticity. How do you feel this experience is helping you develop for life after uni? Not only is it a nine-to-five job, I’m now more disciplined and always excited for new challenges. After working with lots of 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.

University life

Sports Clubs and Varsity The Students’ Union is home to a mix of around 30 sports clubs from recreational to competitive and everything in between. Whatever level you’re looking for, we’re sure you’ll find the perfect club for you. For a one-off payment of £40*, you can get a membership which allows you to try as many or as few sports as you want. You’ll need to pay a bit extra on top of your membership fee if you’d like to join a sports club with a paid coach. 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. Varsity has a rich 30-year history, and with an ever-increasing number of competitors and spectators, the stakes are always high! Visit huddersfield.su/get-involved to find out more.

Campus investment To achieve great things at a university, you don’t just need inspirational teaching. Top class facilities and resources help too. We’ve invested £156 million in some exciting new buildings to make our campus a great place to be.

Your safety on campus During the Covid-19 pandemic we took steps to ensure that our campus became a Covid-secure environment. We asked all staff and students to follow guidance such as: • O nly visit campus for pre-arranged or timetabled sessions and leave immediately after • Swipe into timetabled teaching sessions with your student card • M aintain social distancing, follow one-way systems and use designated entrances/exits • W ear a face covering when inside any University building (unless exempt) • A lways use the hand-sanitising stations when entering and leaving buildings • A void touching surfaces and wash your hands as much as possible for 20 seconds at a time.

At the time of preparing this prospectus we don’t know which of these measures will still need to be in place, but please be assured that we’ll keep all our applicants, and students, updated via our website at hud.ac/covid

Your safety on campus

• l oaned the Government a ThermoFisher 7500-Fast PCR machine, normally used by students and research staff on our forensic science courses, to help carry out Covid-19 tests. • d onated stocks of PPE and first aid supplies to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary to help frontline staff. This included 18,000 pairs of gloves, 150 pairs of glasses and face masks plus 20,000 waste bags. We also donated snacks and drinks to boost morale (and reduce waste, following the closure of our Students’ Union Shop). But we are most proud that four hundred of our nursing students joined over 18,000 students from across England to help NHS staff by completing clinical placements. You can read about Pamela’s experience on page 12. Rising to the challenge of Covid-19 Our academic staff have also risen to the challenge, working on research projects that have influenced the Government’s policies and response to Covid-19. Not only in the field of healthcare but also in society, education, supply chains and technology, including:

“I was apprehensive about moving away from home during a pandemic, but the experience of moving into DIGS has been surprisingly great! I had the opportunity to make a few friends prior to moving in through the resident-only Facebook group. I attended Covid-safe events like quizzes, archery and rock painting, which was a great way to get to know others better.

Supporting our community At a time when the country was under pressure to adapt and respond to the pandemic, the University was keen to support those working in the region. We:

The Block Reps were very welcoming to new students and helped everyone feel at home. I’m very glad that I chose Storthes Hall Park as my Uni accommodation. The safety, warm welcome and great people have all made my stay worthwhile.” Abbi Telford, First Year Student

STUDENT LIFE

Written for you by some of our students

We can give you loads of information about the University of Huddersfield and how great we think it is, but if you really want to know about student life and what it’s like to live and study here, it’s always good to hear it straight from real-life students. Our Genuine Student Info is written, filmed and photographed by some of our students and they tell it like it is. Read on if you want to know more about the best places to shop, the local coffee culture and what the nightlife is really like in the town. Our students have covered everything they think you might want to know about all this and more, like how to manage on a student budget or what it’s like living away from home for the first time.

Student life is a huge part of your university experience. The social life and the activities you can get involved with while you’re studying here are all part of the memories you’ll make. What you’ll see in these pages is just a taster of the Genuine Student Info that our students have put together for you – you can find loads more on their blogs including tips and advice on choosing a university, visiting Open Days and completing your UCAS application.

EXPECTATIONS VS. REALITY I had no reference in my mind of what University could be like. It was a blank page, but it was ready to be coloured in. Before I started university, I had no idea what the experience would look like, as I had never been away from home for a prolonged period of time before. I had few reference points, but high expectations. Initially, I had a wide breadth of options that I wanted to consider for my degree. I travelled on road trips with my mom across the country checking out many courses and universities. When you are looking for a course and a place to study, think about “what feels like home for you?” The course that stood out for me was music, and the university that stood out for me was here at Huddersfield. When I asked all sorts of questions to my lecturers here regarding the course, and discussed what options were available, I found I had more affinity with Huddersfield, and a feeling of opportunity to develop my ambitions, even before I came. When I began my course, I wanted to plug myself into the opportunities the University had to offer, and the outside area, and find out if this was the right place for me. Step by step, I felt more and more that this was the place where I could develop myself further, and also get the right support from staff to do that. I am not just talking academically but also socially and environmentally too – the friends and characters that you meet are important for that journey. Huddersfield is a small town, but it’s packed with places to explore and things to do, and lots of interesting people to meet. If you’re a city person, taking trips to nearby Leeds and Manchester, which I have done, gives you access to more of the world. A fellow student once told me that you cannot cheat your soul. If you are looking for the right university, no matter the expectations you have, only you can decide what feels like ‘home’ for you in reality when you are actually there. So try to make the right decision for yourself, but seek help from people to give you different perspectives to think about.

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 as you. Don’t worry! Say yes to as many opportunities as possible! Join different societies and attend different networking events like the Careers Fair and Welcome Week. Putting yourself out there will open you up to some amazing opportunities and chances to meet new people.

by Nathan

Learn how to manage your time and use it to do the things you enjoy! Uni can often be more unstructured than what you are used to – so try to use your time wisely. The SU website is a great place to find information on societies and socials! That’s the easiest way to make friends with people on and off your course! Try to venture into a new hobby or skill that you haven’t thought about trying before. This is an amazing way to pick up some new skills and make some great friends along the way. Make sure to check out the surrounding areas, such as Greenhead Park and Castle Hill, both known for their beautiful scenery.

BUDGETING When you get your student loan for the first time you feel like you can buy anything you want! However, if you don’t learn to budget, your money soon disappears! 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 your money. Budgeting is hard and scary at first, but you soon learn how to be careful with your money. Here are a few tips that I have learnt: Savings account I currently have both a savings account and a current account and each week I try to 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 on food or you can end up cooking lots of plain pasta by the end of term! I typically spend £30-40 on food shopping a week and £10 on drinks/food when at university. Then, the rest of my weekly allowance can be extra for clothes, travel etc. I usually write a list of exactly what I need money for each week, including social things or new clothes. I 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 beeswax 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 GEMS Campus crush

by Jeordy

Just outside the Barbara Hepworth Building – one of my favourite places to sit and chill out. Comprised of multi-level sitting areas, you find yourself directly opposite the canal, and surrounded by plants and a nearby walkway amongst the trees. I have found that this is one of the quieter places around campus. It’s great if you want to sit, have some lunch, or just chill during a break!

Little campus gems The Library – yes, you read that right! 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. Team Hud Been sat in a seminar for two hours and developing restless legs 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 of vegetarian food, as all their options are great and mouthwatering to think about.

The Peppercorn

One of my absolute favourite places to grab a coffee and a bite to eat. It’s the only fully vegan/plant-based cafe in Huddersfield and has a wide range of savoury dishes, milkshakes, teas and coffees, desserts and cakes to suit everyone’s dietary needs and tastes!

Bex’s Cafe

Bex’s Cafe is one of my recent discoveries located in Marsh. It’s a quaint little family run cafe where they grind their own coffee beans and serve a wonderful all-day breakfast. Definitely worth a visit if you’re close to it!

Lost Property Coffee Shop & Kitchen

Lost Property is another hidden gem, situated near Huddersfield Train station. They offer a wide range of dishes and also offer takeaway and delivery. It’s always a cosy and peaceful atmosphere in which to start your day!

SHOPPING IN HUDDERSFIELD 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 H&M 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 DJs, 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 restaurants 1. The Lord Wilson – Let’s be honest, are you even really a student if you don’t love a Spoons? Not only is it the perfect place for bank account friendly pre-drinks, but it’s also a great place for a cheap dinner with your course-mates just a stone’s throw from uni. The atmosphere is reliably both friendly and enjoyable, regardless of the occasion! 2. Bar Maroc – The place for a pizza, a pint and a chat – whether that be with mates, dates or when family come to visit. With their famous handmade, stone baked, veggie pizzas and an ever-changing selection of local beers – plus the longest running open mic night in Huddersfield – Bar Maroc has it all! 3. Revolution – More commonly known as ‘Revs’ among the student population, if you’re looking for a chilled atmosphere and plenty of cocktails then Revs is the place to be! Their menu doesn’t just end at drinks though, there’s also a huge choice of yummy foods and treats to accompany your beverage of choice. Remember to get yourself a society card, which includes offers like 50% off food and 2-4-1 cocktails – who doesn’t enjoy a bargain? 4. Northern Tea House – If you’re after a break from the busy bar scene, this cosy cafe located in the town centre may be the place for you. Breakfast, brunch or a coffee: Northern Tea House has your back! Whether it be an Eggs Benedict or a plate of syrup covered pancakes, the food here is definitely not to be missed. 5. The Parish – A long-standing independent bar in Huddersfield is The Parish. Having moved to a new location in 2020, Parish 2.0 is bigger and better: hosting a range of live music gigs, a huge food menu and lots of pub games (like snooker and quizzes). During the week, it’s perfect for a comforting meal and a game of pool with your flatmates and at the weekend you can enjoy live DJs, music, and affordable drinks, making it the perfect place to kickstart the party!

LIVING IN STUDENT HALLS by Sanjida 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, but 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 to just 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!

LIVING IN A PRIVATE HOUSE

I moved into a private student house with my friends in my second year of university. This was definitely a big change for me compared to living in a student accommodation flat where you are surrounded by so many other students. For me, the extra space that I had in my student house was the biggest advantage and it allowed me to set up my camera and lights to start my YouTube channel! My house mates and I also loved the freedom we had to decorate the house and really make it feel like our own. If you are looking for a student house, I would recommend: Exploring the area that the house is in Make sure you check out what area your house is located in; check out the surroundings and go exploring! I lived near Greenhead Park and often went for walks there. It can be a great way to discover new things in Huddersfield! Viewing the property you want to live in My house mates and I viewed a ton of different houses before we found one that we were happiest with. It is definitely worth doing your research to find out which house is best suited for you! You might want to consider bedroom size, facilities near by and how close it is to the Uni. If you can start your house hunting as early as possible, that can give you some more time but don’t worry too much!

by Nathan

Being aware of what is included in your rent Do some research to see whether your utility bills are included within your rent. Fortunately, mine were which saved me some hassle. This covered things like gas, electric and WiFi. Don’t worry if yours is not covered but you feel like that is the perfect student house for you! There are freely available tools you can use such as ‘Split the Bills’ which can help you organise how you can split the charges between your friends.

LIVING AT HOME 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. I was also fortunate enough that my parents allowed me to have a puppy during my first year of university, which really helped me keep grounded and calm.

by Mollie

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.

THE DIGS EXPERIENCE Written by students living at DIGS Storthes Hall Park and Ashenhurst Houses.

Unmissable events Get involved with a jam packed events calendar with events to suit everyone. With free events from Quiz to Zumba, they are a great opportunity to meet people and you will never be short of things to do. “As an international student, the events at DIGS allowed me to connect with new friends, and get closer to my fellow flat mates! Even during the pandemic, they are a huge amount of fun, and there’s an event for everyone.”

Muhammad

First class facilities Storthes Hall Park offers much more than just a room. You will find en-suite rooms, an on-site shop, on-site laundrette and more. It’s the perfect home away from home to start your new chapter at university. “Storthes has kind and friendly staff who are always there to help you, plus amazing and supportive Block Reps that are always around so that you have someone to talk to.

The Space Storthes Hall Park is unlike any other student accommodation in Huddersfield. You’ll have 44 acres of outdoor space on your doorstep making it a fantastic space for events and easily accessible for great walking and jogging routes.

The Venue The Venue is the perfect place to hang out with friends. It’s the social hub of Storthes Hall Park with everything from a bar/kitchen and coffee shop, to a study area, gaming space and much more. Fancy a takeaway? Order from The Venue to your flat. “The events that are organised for the students at Storthes Hall are really fun and worth going to. It’s a chance to meet new friends and try new things that you’ve never done before. You can spend quality time with new flatmates and make tonnes of memories at The Venue where most of the events take place.”

English Language and Linguistics

Real-world

Bonjour!

Our department’s magazine, Babel, makes cutting-edge linguistic research accessible and has hundreds of subscribers around the world.

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. Our courses with Politics, Sociology and Criminology allow you to examine how language is intimately connected with the formation and regulation of society, not to mention the ways in which language affects subcultures and those who live outside of society’s usual boundaries.

English Language and Linguistics degrees focus on language as a system and how humans use it in everyday life. 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.

“As well as the fantastic choice of modules, one of my favourite parts of the course is the Linguistic Research Seminars where you can attend seminars hosted by visiting linguists.” Elizabeth Brooke, English Language and Literature BA(Hons)

Whichever course you choose, you can study a modern language as part of your degree to add another dimension to your knowledge.

At Huddersfield, we make all of our courses relevant to your future career. You’ll have the opportunity to investigate workplace language and discover possible future careers in your second year as well as an optional year-long placement in your third year* — all the time considering the impact of language on the workplace. It’s a great way to build up your skills and CV and a helping hand towards making valuable contacts in readiness for your future career.

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.

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.*

100% student satisfaction

We work with 140 teaching placement providers to help prepare our students for teaching in the real world.*

Our Primary and Early Years Education with QTS BA(Hons) course scored 100% for overall satisfaction in the National Student Survey 2020.**

Have you ever had an inspiring teacher? Someone who changed the way you thought about things and opened up a world of opportunities? There are few careers as rewarding as teaching. Our Teacher Training courses could help you go on to make a real difference to people. Whether you want to go into primary and early years or lifelong learning (post-14) teaching, we will help you get the professional training and hands-on experience it takes.

If you want to teach in further education colleges, adult education, training organisations and more, our Lifelong Learning CertEd pre-service could be for you. You don’t need previous teaching experience, just an industry skill, an appropriate entry qualification and a passion for teaching and training others.

If you aspire to become a primary school teacher, our Primary and Early Years Education with QTS BA(Hons) course focuses on developing the skills you need to teach, specialising in teaching children from ages three to seven. On completion of the course we’ll recommend Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), meaning you’re qualified to teach and find your first teaching post. Primary Education Studies (Non-QTS Accelerated Degree) BA(Hons) is a fast-track route to gaining a degree over two years. You won’t be qualified to teach, but on completion of the course you could progress on to a postgraduate teacher training course, which usually takes a further year of study.

We’ll make doubly sure of that with your placements too.* Thanks to our links with schools, colleges, early years facilities and local authorities, we can give you the chance to get out there and start teaching. There are lots of opportunities along the way to try different teaching settings, to help you think about where your career in teaching could take you. Our graduates go on to various roles within the teaching and education professions.*** Graduates can also continue their professional development with us through our postgraduate taught and research degrees.

Youth and Community Work

Professional links

Real-world experience

This course is endorsed by the National Youth Agency and recognised by the Joint Negotiating Committee for Youth and Community Work.

Youth and Community Work BA(Hons) students benefit from a minimum of 800 hours of practical, hands-on experience on placement in a diverse range of settings.*

Do you want to help young people fulfil their potential? Could you help some of the most marginalised people in society overcome tough challenges and create a brighter future for themselves? Do you want to explore issues relating to young people in today’s society, like education, learning and development or social policy and exclusion? If so, studying Youth and Community Work could be for you.

During your course, you’ll be given the chance to understand how government policy directly affects young people and communities. You’ll also explore challenging issues like sexual exploitation and violent extremism.

You already know you want to work with young people and communities. Even so, you might be surprised by just how much can be involved, and how fascinating the subject can be. We’ll help you explore a wide range of themes, including informal education, learning and development, society, welfare and social policy and how groups and communities interact. Your own personal development is a priority for us and we’ll encourage you to develop skills you never thought you had. These include developing creative ideas, leadership, fundraising for projects and more.

“My placements so far have been at the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and a local community youth project. Placement experience has helped me feel much more prepared for the professional workplace. It’s convinced me that I want to pursue a career in Youth and Community Work.”

Maizy Jenkinson, Youth and Community Work BA(Hons)

Our lecturers have a wealth of experience in youth and community work. In fact, many are leading researchers and are helping to shape policy and development that affects young adults and communities. They’ll offer you support to help you grow and get the most out of your studies. In return, you’ll be expected to put in the hours. 800 hours in fact. That’s how many hours you’ll spend on placements, working in organisations such as youth services, pupil referral units, drug and alcohol services, mental health services and community centres.* It’s all about gaining hands-on, practical experience that will stand you in good stead when you move on from university. Gain the BA(Hons) at the end of your three years and you’ll have a qualification endorsed by the National Youth Agency. It could lead to all sorts of careers working with young people and in local communities. From helping young offenders to setting up life-changing community organisations, it could all start here.

Inspiring graduate Celina Allison Celina graduated from Youth and Community Work BA(Hons) in 2020 and is now a Lead Youth Worker/Trainer at the Youth Association in Wakefield.

Important info and the legal bit This prospectus was prepared in the winter of 2020 for courses starting in September 2022 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.

170

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.
