The University Faith Centre

It doesn’t matter what your beliefs are, everyone is welcome to come along to our Faith Centre. You’ll get a warm welcome and have the opportunity to chat in our large community lounge. There are rooms for worship, meditation and prayer as well as ablution facilities.

The University Health Centre

One of the first things you’ll need to do when you arrive at University is register with an National Health Service (NHS) general practice. The University Health Centre is right next door to the University, so if you decide to live within three miles of the campus it could be ideal for you. The centre houses doctors and nurses who can provide advice on medical queries including sports injuries, rehabilitation, travel vaccines, your mental health, relaxation and stress.

Disability Services

Nothing should stop you achieving what you’re capable of. If you ever need some support, we’re here to help. We have a strong reputation for excellent support for our disabled students, and as an international student you will have access to the same high quality provision as students from the UK. Disability Services provides confidential advice and guidance with a focus on you and the support you need. We can help with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, mental health issues, medical conditions, hearing or visual impairments, autistic spectrum conditions and physical disabilities.

Sport at Huddersfield

Sport can play a big part in your mental wellbeing. Our sports facilities are based in Student Central, and include an eight court sports hall, a fitness centre with Technogym Artis equipment, a strength and conditioning studio, a squash court and two fitness class studios hosting over 60 classes every week. The sports centre also provides a number of services including Body Composition testing, an Exercise Referral Scheme and weight loss programmes.
