Teaching excellence Inspirational teaching Inspirational teaching is hugely important at the University of Huddersfield and helps our students to achieve the highest academic standards. To recognise the value of teaching excellence, every year we ask our students which tutor deserves a Thank You Award. Meet the University’s Inspirational Teacher award winner in 2017, Dr Mark Mynett. Senior Lecturer in Music Technology and Production, Mark is well known at the University for his dedication to his students and his extensive real-world experience. He has tasted success as a professional musician, including worldwide album releases and several years of high-profile touring. A career as a self-employed record producer followed, alongside gaining his degree in Popular Music Production. More recently Mark completed his PhD, and he remains active in producing, engineering and mixing. Mark conveys a genuine passion for music of all genres, which has driven him since attending his first concert, aged 12.

Here’s what one of Mark’s students wrote on their nomination form:

Mark’s lectures are always interesting and he’s always happy to help out if you need it. He always seems enthusiastic to be with us, makes a real effort to bring good examples of media in and explains everything at a pace I can understand. 14

Why the University of Huddersfield?

If I can inspire students to want to study, research and grow - instil in them a thirst for knowledge and practical experience - I feel this is the best path to effective learning, and in turn greater student achievement. Winning the inspirational teacher of the year award was therefore a tremendous honour. It really means a lot to me. Dr Mark Mynett

Graduate support The Careers and Employability Service is committed to developing the employability of our international students at the University of Huddersfield.

Workshops, one–to–one appointments and links to employers all make up an invaluable service that will help international students understand the job market both in the UK and overseas.

Laura Bird Careers Adviser (International), Careers and Employability Service “All students have the same access to resources but we understand that some international students have additional requirements. We help them with their career direction, offer workshops, discuss their options for remaining in the UK and help them understand the UK market. We also help students find part–time work and talk about the importance of developing global networks if they want to go back home for work.

“For me it’s all about the student; meeting them face–to–face and seeing them progress. That progression could be developing confidence, supporting them to contact employers or helping them to decide their career direction. It’s not all about getting them into that job, it’s about raising their aspirations. We encourage students to take control of their own careers.”

"Before my current role, I worked at Johnson & Johnson. The company has an amazing attitude towards their customers and everything that J&J do. “I wanted to have a broad set of responsibilities, to feel accepted and appreciated within a team. To be given a chance to do challenging projects that can make a difference and to work for a company that has strong ‘CREDO’ values and a great attitude all across the business. “Taking a work placement is definitely a win–win deal. In exchange for one year of your life you get a really professional experience, fast development opportunities and a clear understanding about many things relevant in the future. “On top of that, you get the opportunity to live in another country, to travel around, learn an additional language and meet some really awesome people. “For one year, Johnson & Johnson not only entrusted me with the duties of Sales and Operations Planning Coordinator but gave me opportunities to really make a difference. “This University is welcoming and supportive and they treat each student as an individual.

Matt Roberts MotoGP Presenter, BBC Sport United Kingdom “I am from Huddersfield so maybe I am biased but it is a great town with friendly people. During the course of my degree in Communication Arts with Spanish I got involved in some good projects in local radio and television that inspired me towards a career in sports journalism, as well as getting to spend a year working in Oviedo, Spain.

Sally Nugent News Presenter/Journalist, BBC Sport United Kingdom “I received such a warm welcome at the University of Huddersfield when I started my French and Communications Arts degree. Huddersfield is a good size and really gave you that feel of a university town. “My time at the University has had an impact on my career and is certainly where it all began. The course seemed unusual and offered a mixture of disciplines including linguistics, French literature and media–relations among other areas. I and some other students spent a year in a French university in the city of Besançon which furthered my studies of French television and culture.” Sally has been working for the BBC for over 15 years, starting as a broadcast journalist at her local radio station.

“This gave me the opportunity to pursue my early career in Barcelona, which eventually led back to the BBC. I don’t think you fully appreciate the opportunities presented to you whilst at university and how close they are to the real world. The biggest lesson is that you must apply yourself because nobody else will do it for you. As in life, you will only get out what you are prepared to put in.”

Maythem Ali Electronics Engineer, Dyson Kuwait “I completed my Electronic and Electrical Engineering BEng(Hons) degree at the University of Huddersfield and straight after, I have been offered a PhD fee–waiver scholarship which I happily accepted. My research was about developing a novel method for non–invasive blood flow measurement. Following this, I managed to secure a job as an Electronic Engineer at Dyson Research and Development (R&D). “I have spent 9 years at the University of Huddersfield for both of my degrees and I am lucky to witness the massive transformation that the University went through including new buildings, facilities and services. I had such a great experience at the University, and with the help of the University teaching and support staff, I acquired the skills I needed to allow me to join the industrial world.

“Aside from my studies, I enjoyed very much the vibrant and friendly atmosphere on campus. I always had a passion for sports and particularly volleyball and the University did not let me down. The University helped me to start the volleyball club where I competed in local leagues and won several trophies. The University also organised events throughout the years such as International Sport and Food days. All those sports and social activities gave me the opportunity to meet new students and make friends. “I am now part of the R&D Electronics team at Dyson. The company recently invested £1.5bn to launch 100 new products and product categories in the next 4 years and I am excited to be part of this challenge. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff at the University of Huddersfield for helping me to achieve my dream and work for a high–end company.”

Aftab Afzal Electronics Engineer, Rolls–Royce Oman “My Electrical Engineering degree proved invaluable for developing my skills because when you start your first job it can often take time before you are given the responsibility to work on the high profile projects. But because of their confidence in the skills I had obtained from my degree here at Huddersfield, from day one, they have had me working on the important assignments, which is great. I have been involved in certification of Trent XWB EEC which has been installed on Trent XWB engine for Airbus A350. The Rolls–Royce Trent XWB, specifically designed for operation on the Airbus A350 XWB family, is the most efficient large civil aerospace engine ever produced.

“If you are a non–UK national this can often prove very difficult but with the help of the University’s Computing and Engineering Placement Unit, in the third year of my BEng degree I took part in a really successful one year work–placement as an Industrial Engineer where I got hands on experience in my chosen industry. This shows just how successful the University is at helping students get into work during and after their studies.”

Facebook Vietnam “I chose International Design Marketing and Communications as my graduate programme because the programme was the perfect match of what I was looking for which had both Design and Communications. The University of Huddersfield was also the only university which started the programme in January, which suited me well.

“Going to the University of Huddersfield has been a great experience in my life. During my time at the University, I was taught and mentored by knowledgeable and well respected professors. Courses were built based on one–to–one models where every student had the valuable time for their University projects.

“Before the University of Huddersfield, my background was in Graphic Design. When I looked for a good university to further my education, the University of Huddersfield was the right decision due to its well–designed programmes. They are comprehensive with limited numbers of students. Also, the programmes were built for different interests and learning methodologies.

“Every class was made of in–class sections, research and group work. After graduation, the knowledge and skills I gained through the University have helped me in many ways with my daily work.

“During my time there, the University always provided the students with up-to-date technologies and learning materials. Access to the library was 24 hour with an incredible variety of books and unlimited online courses which were vital for students to complete their assignments. The staff were friendly and helpful whenever I had any questions or concerns.

Batyr Ospanov Founder/Designer, Batyr Ospanov Designs Kazakhstan “I graduated with a degree in Transport Design from the University of Huddersfield. My company is a young, but rapidly developing company based in the heart of Almaty City, Kazakhstan. “In 2015 we were awarded the prestigious Luxury Lifestyle Award in the category of Best Interior Design Studio. The event was held in Dubai and has been officially partnered and sponsored by Audi Corporate. “I have had a very broad experience with leading companies that are based in London, Italy and Monaco. After graduating I worked in the field of superyacht design, private jets and interior design on large–scale residential projects. The short–term internships turned into successful employment that lasted for almost 3 years. Not only did I get extensive and valuable experience to develop professionally, but I was inspired to create a design company focused on luxury segment in my homeland. “During its operating years the company has had a great opportunity to design luxurious jewellery and perfume retail shops, high end luxury apartments and villas in Kazakhstan and Central Europe. “I believe that the degree at Huddersfield gave me a broad variety of skills and knowledge to be successful in the creative industry.

“Employers were amazed on the amount of input that I was giving into the design process during my work experiences. I can’t forget how at the end of the first week of a short internship in one of the companies the Director offered me a full-time position. “During my employment years I always dreamt of running my own company and just couldn’t wait a long time for it. When I decided to work for myself and establish a proper company I was criticised by some experts due to my little experience at the field and lack of financial stability. I agree it is very scary to start your own company; you make mistakes and run crazy sometimes. But it is such a great feeling when you see your clients with happy faces using bespoke products and interior spaces which are results of combined creativity and client wishes. “For those who wish to run their own businesses I would suggest gaining some experience from the best companies in the market, even for free as you are investing in yourself. Do not stay for long time, try to learn as much as you can and find a perfect time to leave and start at your own. I think employers would hate me after reading this!” www.batyrospanov.design

Managing Director, Synergy Biotech Mexico My experience at the University of Huddersfield was good as I was able to learn state–of–the–art techniques in microbiology and molecular biology which were the foundation of my research. It was not easy, as I was coming from an engineering background, these novel methodologies were a whole new world that I had to explore, understand and apply quickly to succeed in my project. “Fortunately, I had good and patient supervisors and laboratory technicians whom were utterly helpful. The experience and knowledge I got helped me to obtain a position as post doctorate in Food Microbiology at the University of Wageningen, Holland in less than two weeks after passing my viva.

“Outside the laboratory I also had such a great experience at Huddersfield. I travelled extensively around the UK and Europe, joined the boxing club at the University and made some good Yorkshire friends. After finishing my post doc, I decided to come back to Mexico and start my own business: Synergy BioTech® which is a consultancy agency in food science and technology and a food testing laboratory.

Alex Beldea Photographer Romania “I completed two degrees at the University of Huddersfield, a Bachelor's degree and a Master's by Research in Photography. “An important aspect of the course was the flexibility towards the photographic genre each individual student wanted to follow. For example, I could develop my interest in documentary photography while other students could build up a fashion portfolio. At the same time, we had modules related to commercial photography which meant that all of us, at the end of the course, would be able to produce commercial work while developing personal projects. “Winning the APHE Bursary allowed me to attend the first edition of the Offspring Photo Meet in London, where I had the chance to meet key professionals within the photographic world. It was there where I had one of the first opportunities to present my documentary work.

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 finding it difficult to use them. It’s why you’ll have a single log-in for WiFi (which you can use anywhere on campus), email and all the software you’ll need for your course.

You’ll also have storage for your work – on and off campus. So the next time you leave your memory stick on the bus you’ll still have a back up. 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.

Myanmar/Burmese “The University of Huddersfield is a popular and pleasant place to study with a good reputation. I love spending time at the library where I can get all the support I need such as books, articles and journals related to my course and I can study productively.”

The Library Our Library is pretty special. It contains over 1000 study spaces and over 500 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 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. The Library is open seven days a week during term time and all day long for most of the year, and our computer lab is open 24 hours a day all year round. So what do our current students think of it all? Well, in the 2016 National Student Satisfaction (NSS) survey, their satisfaction with the Library is above average when compared to other universities. In fact our students gave us a 90% satisfaction rating.

Study Abroad Programmes in the heart of the UK Student’s view Sarah Sobel SUNY New Paltz (State University of New York at New Paltz) “I wanted to gain a new perspective of the world, meet new people, and I have always wanted to come to England. Huddersfield had the perfect programme for Psychology students and I loved that I was able to live with other

international students as well as students who are from England. The area was close enough to major cities but also a smaller town, which I really loved because I really got to know so many people from all walks of life.”

Studying abroad can give you a great experience both inside and outside the lecture hall. You will be involved in an enjoyable and essential international experience while earning credit towards your degree. We offer a one or two semester programme. The University of Huddersfield offers a range of courses (known in the UK as modules) that you can choose from to get the best from your studies. Our location in the middle of the big city triangle of Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield means you can easily hop on a train and find yourself in one of these fantastic cities within half an hour and it’s easy to get out to the many sights of Europe with Manchester International Airport only 40 minutes away.

Taking the programme before you start your degree really boosts your confidence. It helped me to develop my speaking and writing skills, especially in grammar. It also develops you as a person to organise your ideas including how to prepare a presentation.

“My most favourite things about the University of Huddersfield are the friendly people and the great support I receive on different aspects of my research, academic skills, accommodation and social activities. The Research and Enterprise department at the University has given me tremendous support for the establishment of various research events.”
