A green and sustainable 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:
At Huddersfield we’re committed to sustainability, reducing our impact on the environment and tackling the Climate Emergency. Our campus will be carbon neutral by 2030, with a Carbon Management Plan that includes carbon reduction measures, biodiversity on campus, action on travel and digital solutions that cut carbon on and off campus.
Only visit campus for pre-arranged or timetabled sessions and leave immediately after. Swipe into timetabled teaching sessions with a University student card. Maintain social distancing, follow one-way systems and use designated entrances/exits. Wear a face covering when inside any University building (unless exempt). Always use the hand-sanitising stations when entering and leaving buildings. Avoid 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
Carbon neutral and sustainability
Rising to the challenge of Covid-19 Our academic staff have also risen to the challenge, working on research projects that have influenced the UK Government’s policies and response to Covid-19. You can read about some of the key pieces of research from the University in the 2021 edition of our research magazine, Discover discover.hud.ac.uk
Living in Huddersfield
Your safety on campus
We’re increasingly aware of the impact our buildings and open spaces can have on the wellbeing of those who use them. We’re incorporating wellbeing improvement measures into our buildings, new and old, to provide learning environments that you can thrive in.

Our students had to adjust to a whole new way of learning during the Covid-19 pandemic, and we’re so proud of how they adapted to the challenge. PhD student Tabassum wrote a fantastic blog about her experience and six steps to help you study at home.
“What came as a big relief for me was knowing that there is support from the University.”
