Investment on campus

To achieve great things at 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.

Huddersfield’s proud industrial heritage is evident on campus, with beautifully converted stone mills and a working canal. But thanks to our ongoing investment, there are plenty of impressive 21st Century buildings too. Take a tour of campus at hud.ac/campus
