Undergraduate study

An undergraduate degree from the University of Huddersfield could help you take your first steps into an exciting career. You can choose to study a subject that you are interested in from a wide variety of degrees.

Courses that offer a placement year give you the chance to get out in the real world and experience employment while you’re still studying. Classes generally take place during the daytime and there are a small number of courses which may also have some evening classes too.

Bachelor’s degree

A full-time Bachelor’s degree normally takes three years. Lots of our degrees also give you the chance to take a placement or ‘sandwich’ year to build up your work experience. That would mean that your course would usually take four years in total. Upon successful completion, you’ll achieve a qualification title: Bachelor of Arts – BA(Hons) Bachelor of Engineering – BEng(Hons) Bachelor of Law – LLB Bachelor of Music – BMus(Hons) Bachelor of Science – BSc(Hons).

Top-up

If you’ve already got a Foundation degree or a qualification like an HND, then a Top-up course gives you the chance to build on that and study for a full Honours level degree. It takes one year full-time and it is subject to you meeting the entry criteria.

Integrated Master’s degree

An Integrated Master’s degree gives you the opportunity to combine undergraduate and postgraduate study for some courses. Courses last four years, or five years if you spend a year on a placement. The first two years are normally the same as the equivalent BSc or BEng course. You’ll be expected to do well each year, with some courses requiring you achieve a particular grade. As you progress through the course, you will get the opportunity to specialise in subject areas that particularly interest you. At the end of the course you’ll earn a Master’s level degree. We offer a range to choose from: Master of Engineering – MEng Master of Chemistry – MChem Master of Computing – MComp Master of Science – MSci Master of Pharmacy – MPharm.
