“By choosing to study a postgraduate qualification at the University of Huddersfield you’ll benefit from a hugely experienced teaching team.”
“You’ll be taught by staff who are at the forefront of their subject area, as all permanent staff have, or are completing, doctorates. This means you’ll benefit from research informed teaching delivered by experts in their field. Gaining a postgraduate qualification is an excellent way to enhance your employability by gaining specialist knowledge and expertise. Many of our courses have links to professional bodies so you can be sure that you are developing skills which are valued by employers. We also offer a whole range of specialist support to ensure you get the most out of your studies including academic and professional support and opportunities to present your research at dedicated conferences aimed at postgraduate and research students.”
Teaching excellence Here at Huddersfield, we’re recognised as a centre of teaching excellence. Here are just some of the reasons why:

Research informed teaching Ensuring strong links between teaching and research is key. Many of our academics are at the cutting-edge of their field, bringing the latest developments in their teaching which really impacts on your day-to-day experience.

Joint-first University in the UK for professionally qualified teaching staff. (HESA 2021)

Our professionalism extends way beyond the confines of the campus.

As a result, you’ll find that many of our courses have been recognised or accredited by external professional bodies.
Another investment we make is in equipment and your access to it. Our research facilities are not hidden away for academic staff only, but are right here at the heart of our postgraduate community. The campus is home to a number of impressive research initiatives which genuinely inform and complement our teaching.

“Studying my Master of Architecture (RIBA Part 2) at Huddersfield has been a great experience. The quality of teaching facilitated my ideas and pushed me to do more than I’ve ever done before.”
“I was able to gain knowledge through collaboration and peer reviews with my course group. One of my personal highlights was a trip to Mexico for my final project, which looked at how architecture and design could improve the lives of migrants and deportees in Tijuana. Working with tutors who have a lot of industry experience and connections enabled me to enter and win multiple competitions, exhibit my work around Yorkshire and attend a summer school abroad in Italy. All of this experience enhanced my CV and enabled me to secure a job at one of the best companies in the UK within two months of finishing my degree.”

Your safety on 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: Only visit campus for pre-arranged or timetabled sessions and leave immediately after. Swipe into timetabled teaching sessions with your 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.
“What came as a big relief for me was knowing that there is support from the University.”
Tabassum Ahmed PhD student in Architecture and Built Environment
Read her blog here
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

“I’ve lived in Huddersfield for nearly six years so have seen a lot of student accommodation!

Living here allowed me to meet new people, make friends and find people to share accommodation with going forward. I got a lot of practical help finding accommodation from the Students’ Union. They gave me tips on what questions to ask when and what I should bear in mind when looking around a property.

Postgraduate taught study options We understand the need for a flexible approach to postgraduate study, which is why we offer part-time, full-time and some distance learning options, helping you to achieve a balance with your other commitments.
Fitting studies around you A Master’s can be flexible to fit around your life. Depending on the course, we offer full-time and part-time options to suit you.
Master’s degrees On a postgraduate taught degree, you’ll learn through a combination of lectures, seminars and practical work. Studying at Master’s level will involve advanced specialist study in your chosen subject or profession and usually contains a taught element in addition to a supervised dissertation or research project.
Postgraduate Diplomas (PgDip) and Postgraduate Certificates (PgCert) If you’d like to study at postgraduate level but can’t commit to a Master’s degree at this stage, you may want to consider a Postgraduate Certificate (PgCert) or a Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip). Postgraduate Diploma: These programmes usually require you to complete everything in the Master’s degree excluding the final dissertation. They’re a great option to consider if you’re just looking to study the taught content at Master’s level, without having to complete a research project. Postgraduate Certificate: These programmes are a shorter postgraduate study option that include Master’s level content.
Flexible study options allowing you to fit studies around your lifestyle.
“Studying for the MBA was the best decision I made career wise. I was apprehensive about the demands placed on my work and home life, but I am so glad I didn’t let that deter me from applying because it’s more manageable and flexible than I initially thought.” “I particularly enjoyed the collaborative nature of the lectures, combining the teaching with peer experience.”

Our researchers are committed to solving the problems and answering the questions posed by industry, science and society. Here are four ways that we are making a real difference to the world we live in.
Using research and innovation technology to prevent gender-based violence One in three women and girls experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. Research by the None in Three Research Centre revealed that gender-based violence is associated with deep-rooted patriarchal beliefs, unequal gender relations and attitudes which promote violence acceptance and normalisation. These attitudes are transmitted to young people, leading to intergenerational cycles of violence. The research findings have been used to create educational and culturally appropriate video games. JESSE, the first game developed, is an educational intervention which raises awareness of domestic violence and seeks to change the attitudes and behaviours that contribute to it. The game has so far been used by 2,500 children in schools in St Lucia, Barbados and Grenada.

Empowering girls and women to work in music technology
De-stigmatising mental health through creative arts practice
Since arriving at the University of Huddersfield in 2007 Dr Liz Dobson has led on a range of initiatives to address the underrepresentation of women in music technology. Dr Dobson initiated the Yorkshire Sound Women Network (YSWN), to support women as a minority in music technology, which has resulted in new music technology skills and knowledge for individuals, increased confidence and aspirations, a more diverse music sector through the establishment of new organisations, economic and employment benefits, and changed attitudes and behaviours in the wider music industry.
Dr Rob Ellis’ research was developed in response to the need for mental health organisations to understand the lived experience of mental ill-health and to give vulnerable adults a voice in policymaking and practice. Dr Ellis’ research led to the co-creation of a play ‘I have Strings’ and the ‘Bag of Tricks’ resource kit. The play has been used in schools to prompt discussion around mental wellbeing in children. The kit has provided training for mental health and social care practitioners in England and Japan from a range of organisations and provided a catalyst for organisational change in mental health provision at the National Trust.

Research in action
Using AI technology to support ADHD diagnosis NHS waiting lists for adults with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) continue to grow. Delays in diagnosis are due to current NHS practices which require a full assessment by specialist clinicians and financial pressures. Professor Grigoris Antoniou developed automated reasoning techniques to deal with imperfect information, which are being applied to the diagnosis of ADHD in adults. The new technology identifies clear-cut cases that can be assessed automatically, enabling timely assessments with positive benefits on patients and NHS waiting lists.

Postgraduate research community Here’s what some of our postgraduate research community have to say about their research experience.
Professor Catherine Johnson, Director of Research and PGR (Media, Journalism and Film)
“I successfully completed my MSc in pharmaceutical and analytical science with distinction at the University of Huddersfield and I had the brilliant opportunity to join Dr Kofi Asare-Addo’s research group as a PhD researcher in 2018. “Working within such a supportive and constructive environment with the close guidance provided by my supervisor and access to University facilities has been excellent. Throughout my PhD research we have worked on many scientific projects and have published our work in prestigious pharmaceutical journals. “My research focuses on the implication of 3D printing in the pharmaceutical industry, including working on various pharmaceutical polymers with the aim of personalising treatment doses for each patient’s individual needs.”
42
“Our research students benefit from working alongside people with different disciplinary backgrounds, cultures and working experiences. “They get the opportunity to explore a variety of methods, tools and theoretical perspectives. “The Global Disaster Resilience Centre gives students the opportunity to tackle some of the greatest challenges that communities are facing around the world such as climate change, the growth in urbanisation and disaster risk, rising levels of displacement and increasing threats to human security. “We work closely with national and local government, UN and other international agencies, the private sector and communities at risk. These experiences equip our students with the knowledge and skills to address the complexity of the challenges we face.”
Nihad Mawla
Professor Richard Haigh
PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences
Co-Director, Global Disaster Resilience Centre
“Everyone thinks about a research degree as a chance to study a subject in depth that you are passionate about. It is that, but it’s also so much more. “It’s an amazing opportunity to expand your intellectual curiosity and develop a set of research and critical thinking skills that are highly transferable and will stay with you for the rest of your life, whether you stay in academia or take a job in industry.
“I’m really passionate about doing research that has wider value for society and culture. When I did my PhD in the late-1990s, I had no idea that, twenty years later, I’d be advising government committees about the future of public service broadcasting and discussing strategy with the Director General of the BBC. I can safely say that these opportunities to improve the ways in which media works for society would not have been available to me without the PhD. And beyond this engagement with stakeholders, my PhD gave me the skills to be able to continually grow as a scholar, so that everyday I still feel like I am learning new ideas and skills.”

In addition we also offer Master of Enterprise and Doctor of Enterprise programmes offering research focused on enterprise creation, innovation and new product development, social enterprise or entrepreneurial development. More details can be found on our website. Research within Architecture and the Built Environment is supported by the following research centres:
Innovative Design Lab (IDL)
IDL is an interdisciplinary research centre that conducts theory-based and applied research into product design and the built environment, pushing the impact of design thinking and practice to new areas. It cuts across the areas of architectural design, construction management, interior design, new product development, engineering, social sciences and healthcare.
Centre for Urban Design, Architecture and Sustainability (CUDAS)
CUDAS comprises of three research themes: Urban Design, Architectural Practice and Humanities, and Sustainable Environments and Practice. These investigations operate at many scales and levels, but a common thread is a concern about the integration of architectural, environmental and urban design. Accordingly, the overarching ethos of CUDAS is that design informs all aspects of academic research of the built environment, whether in the historical, cultural, theoretical or environmental contexts.

Synthetic Spaces: Creating Narrative Architectures with 3D Digital Scanning The development of 3D laser scanning offers an important opportunity to expand the ways in which architects are able to capture, develop and represent spaces, providing new and innovative opportunities to create narrative architectural concepts. The laser scanning process produces digital data that can be used to create detailed spatial information in the form of an evocative ‘point-cloud’ model. Normally this data is considered as a neutral objective survey, despite the fact that there are many variables where the judgement of the operator is an important factor. There is no question that scanning offers greater accuracy than more conventional approaches but it also offers opportunities to combine the data with other forms of practice, particularly animation. For the Synthetic Spaces Project, Professor Nic Clear and Hyun Jun Park selected and scanned three iconic sites in Huddersfield: Castle Hill, the Queensgate Market and the Railway Station. The data was manipulated to explore these familiar spaces in unique ways through the production of architectural images, animations and drawings including an immersive installation. The overall effect of the combination of the projected images with the specially constructed soundscape creates an immersive experience where a literal description of the spaces is fragmented into an evocative collage of space. The ability to manipulate the ‘point-cloud’ data allows the creation of synthetic spatial models that exists between the virtual and the actual and combine the ‘measured’, the ‘experienced’ and the ‘practiced’. The project demonstrates the expanded possibilities of spatial representation using laser scanning data and draws upon the way information produced by the scans can be manipulated to retain its technical veracity while the images themselves can evoke a much more speculative response to the sites.
Lauri Koskela is Professor of Construction and Project Management at the University of Huddersfield. Since 1991, Lauri has been involved in research on lean construction. He is a founding and continuously active member of the International Group for Lean Construction (IGLC). In the last two decades, new powerful methods for construction project management have been developed in the framework of lean construction. Their implementation in construction projects is rapidly increasing. Close collaborations between academic research and the industry has been one critical success factor for lean construction. As an academic researcher and PhD supervisor, Koskela has been involved in research supporting lean construction in externally funded, industry-facing projects.

Research in Business and Management
Research in Context The research project ‘Sounding out refugees’ was carried out by an interdisciplinary team of researchers from Huddersfield Business School (Dr Radi Haloub, Dr Deema Refai and Dr John Lever) and the School of Music, Humanities and Media (Dr Toby Martin) at the University of Huddersfield. The ongoing refugee crisis has called for further research to explore journeys made by refugees and ways of engaging with refugees within host countries, within which entrepreneurship can be seen as one way to support this engagement. This project worked with Syrian refugees in Jordan to explore their journeys and the challenges they face, focusing in particular on how these journeys and challenges lead them to engage in entrepreneurship. The research highlights the transitory stages that refugees go through, presenting their entrepreneurial journey as a liminal and contextualised one. Despite the challenges that these refugees face, many of them demonstrate high levels of vocational knowledge and expertise. Some have, and continue to demonstrate, successful examples of entrepreneurial engagement whereby they are able to overcome the challenges of their context though utilising minimal resources, thus contributing to the formal and informal economy.
“Our involvement with refugees has expanded to promote social cohesion between the communities at local and global levels. We have worked with various partners in Jordan, UK and Turkey to support refugees’ engagement and promote their active contributions to societies and economies.”
“As a researcher, there are many places across the campus that only postgraduate researchers have access to, which means that you can work peacefully with other PhD students. These students can end up being like your family during your PhD journey. As a PhD student, I have been fortunate to present papers at many conferences abroad. It was a great opportunity to meet peers and professionals in my field, discover groundbreaking ideas and overcome my fears regarding my thesis and explore what happens after your postgraduate degree.” Wiam Id Boumsoud PhD Researcher

Research in Context Online TV Professor Catherine Johnson’s research is exploring how the screen industries respond to change. Her book, Online TV (Routledge, 2019), examines the convergence of television and the internet, arguing that we are entering a new ‘internet era’ that is changing how we understand television as a medium. Through the process of defining online TV, the book identifies four core ‘battlefields’ where the industrial struggle for online TV is taking place: technology, intellectual property, interfaces and data. It argues that these battlefields should be on the top of the agenda for academics, policy-makers and regulators. This work builds on Catherine’s previous research into the changing nature of promotional screen culture (Promotional Screen Industries, Routledge 2015, written with Professor Paul Grainge) and into the adoption of branding by the US and UK television industries (Branding Television, Routledge 2012), as well as on previous research into the US and UK television industries. She regulatory works with industry, including the BBC and Ofcom. Most recently she was special advisor to the Department of Digital Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) Select Committee’s inquiry into the Future of Public Service Broadcasting. She is also working with scholars in Europe, North America and Australia. Her current research explores the ways in which people find and discover audiovisual content, based on semi-structured interviews and surveys.
“As Professor of Media and Communications, my research focuses on how the screen industries structure our experiences of the media, with a particular interest in television, screen marketing and the internet. My book, Online TV, explores how the internet is transforming television globally, demanding new concepts, business models and media policies. I work regularly with industry partners, including Ofcom, the BFI and Red Bee Media. My research sits within the Centre for Participatory Culture, which gives me access to a vibrant interdisciplinary group of international scholars and students exploring our changing relationships with the media.” Professor Catherine Johnson Professor in Media and Communication

Centre for Cyber Security
Research in Context Automated Techniques for Security Assessment Software tools to aid with security policy auditing were downloaded over 35k times from 184 different countries between 11 and 19 March 2020, with a significant portion originating from redirects from technical support and software distribution platforms. These tools have been developed to address the shortfall in security analysis expertise, which result in businesses being left vulnerable.
The Centre is concerned with the development of intelligent techniques to provide enhanced capabilities and provide equity between experts and non-experts alike. Our key strength is in processing information security data sources, along with the use of Artificial Intelligence, enabling the detection and mitigation of security vulnerabilities and identifying threats.
Auditing and maintaining IT security controls is heavily reliant on human expert knowledge, which is currently in short supply. The consequence of this skill shortfall is evident in the number of organisations and individuals falling foul to cybercrime, which could have been prevented through implementing and monitoring adequate security controls.
Centre for Industrial Analytics (CIndA)
We have performed ground-up research, driven by real-world pressures to close the knowledge shortfall and also enhance security policy auditing and configuration activities.
CIndA is at the forefront of applied research into the visualisation and comprehension of complex data. Our research is firmly rooted in the challenges faced by manufacturing industry, delivering significant impact to a range of different businesses.
Centre for Visualisation (CVIV)
The Centre focuses on regional and international dimensions of knowledge/technology innovation, application and practice development, academic networking and social service innovation. It investigates research concepts, algorithms and systems in computer vision, machine learning and interactive visualisation for the development of seamless communication mechanisms between humans and computer systems.
Centre for Planning, Autonomy and Representation of Knowledge (PARK)
The Centre produces world-class research in Automated Planning, Knowledge Engineering, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, and Ontological Engineering. We are interested in solving applied problems such as reasoning with large amounts of data, the realisation of the semantic web, and the automated learning and engineering of action knowledge for input to plan generation engines.

Centre for Cyber Security
Research in Context Automated Techniques for Security Assessment Software tools to aid with security policy auditing were downloaded over 35k times from 184 different countries between 11 and 19 March 2020, with a significant portion originating from redirects from technical support and software distribution platforms. These tools have been developed to address the shortfall in security analysis expertise, which result in businesses being left vulnerable.
The Centre is concerned with the development of intelligent techniques to provide enhanced capabilities and provide equity between experts and non-experts alike. Our key strength is in processing information security data sources, along with the use of Artificial Intelligence, enabling the detection and mitigation of security vulnerabilities and identifying threats.
Auditing and maintaining IT security controls is heavily reliant on human expert knowledge, which is currently in short supply. The consequence of this skill shortfall is evident in the number of organisations and individuals falling foul to cybercrime, which could have been prevented through implementing and monitoring adequate security controls.
Centre for Industrial Analytics (CIndA)
We have performed ground-up research, driven by real-world pressures to close the knowledge shortfall and also enhance security policy auditing and configuration activities.
CIndA is at the forefront of applied research into the visualisation and comprehension of complex data. Our research is firmly rooted in the challenges faced by manufacturing industry, delivering significant impact to a range of different businesses.
Centre for Visualisation (CVIV)
The Centre focuses on regional and international dimensions of knowledge/technology innovation, application and practice development, academic networking and social service innovation. It investigates research concepts, algorithms and systems in computer vision, machine learning and interactive visualisation for the development of seamless communication mechanisms between humans and computer systems.
Centre for Planning, Autonomy and Representation of Knowledge (PARK)
The Centre produces world-class research in Automated Planning, Knowledge Engineering, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, and Ontological Engineering. We are interested in solving applied problems such as reasoning with large amounts of data, the realisation of the semantic web, and the automated learning and engineering of action knowledge for input to plan generation engines.
Research in Computing
Research in Computing
“We have a rapidly growing research community within the Department. We are carrying out world-class research in key areas including: Mathematics and Data Science, Planning Autonomy and Representation of Knowledge, Visual and Immersive Computing, Cybersecurity, Industrial Analytics and Music Technology. In all of these areas we are creating knowledge and using this to support the developments that improve understanding. We work closely with industry partners to ensure that our research has real impact on society. We have impressive facilities to support our research including dedicated computer networking, mobile and forensic computing laboratory and creative studio environments.” Professor Richard Hill Head of Department, Computer Science

Research in Drama, Theatre and Performance
What a Body Can Do In What a Body Can Do, Ben Spatz develops a rigorous theory of embodied technique as knowledge. He argues that viewing technique as both training and research has much to offer current debates over the role of practice in the University, including the debates around practice-as-research. “I am interested in theatre as a site of transformation and exploring what it means to be human. I teach the practice and theory of performance and I direct ensemble shows that use extended physical and vocal techniques to grapple with urgent contemporary issues. My 2015 and 2020 books focus on the human body in its diverse capacities and meanings, while my current research looks at race and gender identities through the lens of experimental performance practice. I work with theatre and dance companies around the world on new ways to create and share multimedia performance.” Dr Ben Spatz Co-Director of the Research Centre for Performance Practices
“The most exciting aspect of my project is that I get to experience lots of amazing performances and pieces of theatre. I get to discuss my passion and the type of theatre that interests me with innovative artists in the field of the ‘immersive’ and then analyse it academically. I’d recommend this research programme as it offers you the opportunity to research the subject you love in a friendly environment, with a great team and in a nice town. Alongside my research, I have been given the opportunity to shadow the lecturers I learnt from and teach alongside them to the first-year undergraduates. My decision to continue my study here was hugely influenced by the standard of teaching that the drama course offers.” James Sharpe Drama, Dance and Performance PhD

Education in its broadest sense
We consider education in its broadest sense, not only spanning the full age range from early years to adult education and lifelong learning but also appreciating the capacity of informal education and civic engagement to impact powerfully on individuals and communities beyond formal institutions.
Research culture
Our research culture is informed by deep rooted principles of social justice, participation, and collaboration. Stakeholders and research-end users in both formal and non-formal education settings are directly involved wherever possible – including policy-makers, policy-influencers and practitioners. In particular, our research with and about under-represented and marginalised groups seeks to support inclusion through the development of collaborative, participatory and creative research methodologies.

Research in Education
Exploring the impacts of pandemic policies on children’s lives Professor of Childhood Studies Helen Lomax from the School of Education and Professional Development and Senior Research Fellow Kate Smith from the School of Human and Health Sciences have been awarded a prestigious grant by the British Academy. The project ‘Back Chat’ - will work inclusively with children living in diverse localities in the north of England, prioritising hearing directly from children about the impacts of pandemic policies on their lives. Developing collaborative, socially-distanced arts-based methods with children, the research will also explore representations of children in policy and policy reporting during times of global crisis. Facilitated by the team’s expertise in emerging new practices of ‘distanced’ participatory action research, children will visually chronicle their experiences using creative, digital art-based media. Findings will be captured in visual outputs from the research to support the exchange of key messages from children to policy makers, educators and other children. This follows earlier research undertaken by the team - called ‘Corona Chronicles’ – which was carried out at the outset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 with children who chronicled life in early national lockdowns and school re-openings.
“My research is designed to explore the educational attainment of male Pakistani learners whose familial heritage stems from the Azad Kashmir region of Pakistan. Historically, a large proportion of students from this group fail to attain at least 5 GCSEs at grade 4 and above. As a teacher, I have paid attention to these learners and I have seen some good results, so why do we see so many students failing at GCSE? I thought, if 75% of students are failing, then 25% of these students are passing. So why don’t I put a spotlight on these students? I wanted to look at the trajectory of these students. My research is looking at their narratives – understanding their lived experiences and what difficulties or general cultural experiences have fed into their success.” Mohammed Farooqui EdD Researcher

Exploring the impacts of pandemic policies on children’s lives Professor of Childhood Studies Helen Lomax from the School of Education and Professional Development and Senior Research Fellow Kate Smith from the School of Human and Health Sciences have been awarded a prestigious grant by the British Academy. The project ‘Back Chat’ - will work inclusively with children living in diverse localities in the north of England, prioritising hearing directly from children about the impacts of pandemic policies on their lives. Developing collaborative, socially-distanced arts-based methods with children, the research will also explore representations of children in policy and policy reporting during times of global crisis. Facilitated by the team’s expertise in emerging new practices of ‘distanced’ participatory action research, children will visually chronicle their experiences using creative, digital art-based media. Findings will be captured in visual outputs from the research to support the exchange of key messages from children to policy makers, educators and other children. This follows earlier research undertaken by the team - called ‘Corona Chronicles’ – which was carried out at the outset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 with children who chronicled life in early national lockdowns and school re-openings.

Our partnerships include links with international universities, such as the collaborative work we undertake with the University of CergyPontoise, Paris, under the auspices of the Northern Nineteenth-Century Network, and the Critical Materialities project in partnership with the German universities of Mainz, Hannover and Regensburg. Our Creative Writing staff have published widely, with their work read and translated across the globe. Dr Michael Stewart’s novel Ill Will: The Untold Story of Heathcliff has been described by The Independent as ‘astonishing’. Dr Stephen Ely’s poetry has been nominated for both the Forward Prize and the Ted Hughes Award. We are based in one of the newest University buildings, the Oastler Building, with its professional facilities and flexible learning and study spaces. Individual tutorials and research supervision run alongside Graduate Academy workshops, a research seminar series, and an annual postgraduate conference – which you may even help to organise. Our research students regularly present at national and international conferences. *Permanent staff, after probation: some recently appointed colleagues will obtain recognition in the months after their arrival in Huddersfield, once they have started teaching.
“As a poet, I heard of the Huddersfield Literature Festival and the creative writing degrees the University offers, and I wanted to be part of this dynamic community. I’m convinced that this PhD will enhance my own practice, be an asset to securing a tutoring position in the area of creative writing and allow me to teach literature. I would definitely recommend this programme to anyone interested in modern and contemporary British, Irish and American poetry as the number of experts in these fields is impressive! Of course, anyone interested in Ted Hughes should join the Ted Hughes Network and be surrounded by passionate scholars.” Julie Irigaray Literature and Creative Writing PhD Researcher

“As a poet, I heard of the Huddersfield Literature Festival and the creative writing degrees the University offers, and I wanted to be part of this dynamic community. I’m convinced that this PhD will enhance my own practice, be an asset to securing a tutoring position in the area of creative writing and allow me to teach literature. I would definitely recommend this programme to anyone interested in modern and contemporary British, Irish and American poetry as the number of experts in these fields is impressive! Of course, anyone interested in Ted Hughes should join the Ted Hughes Network and be surrounded by passionate scholars.” Julie Irigaray Literature and Creative Writing PhD Researcher

Our research community seeks to develop and promote our international profile within the broad areas of Public Health, Applied Health Sciences, Nursing and Midwifery, and Social Work and Social Policy. We strongly encourage collaboration across these key areas, in keeping with our multidisciplinary ethos. With this in mind, please also take a look at the exciting research that is taking place within Social Sciences. Research opportunities We have opportunities for you to develop your research within the field of Health through studying for a Master’s by Research or a PhD, which can be done on a full or part-time basis. We particularly welcome, but are not limited to, research within the following areas: Promoting person-centred care Supporting self-management of health problems Physical activity, sport and health Work and health Infant and maternal health Child and adolescent mental health and wellbeing Service evaluation and improvement Action research approaches to learning and change in public sector services Social prescribing Psychology of health and wellbeing Global health Patient and public involvement in health service delivery Wound Care
Research impact Photovoice Study It is recognised that people with serious mental illness (SMI) have more physical health problems and a shorter life span than the general population. The aim of this study, carried out in collaboration with the South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, was to understand what healthy living means to people living with SMI and the barriers and facilitators to a healthier lifestyle. Using the photovoice methodology (a qualitative method used in community-based participatory research to document and reflect reality) and focus groups, we found that being mentally well was the most important thing. Healthy was described as “feeling complete”; “being busy” and “finishing my goals”. A key finding was the value of participation in the project, and how taking photos of their day to day lives enabled participants to discuss their experiences and engage in activities that enhanced their wellbeing.

Research in Health
Staff and postgraduate researchers work collaboratively across disciplinary boundaries to generate world-class research that provides a significant impact locally, nationally and internationally. Designed to reflect the scope of activity across the School, Research in Health comes together through a number of Research Groups and University-wide Research Institutes:
Centre for Applied Research in Health Director: Professor Ann-Louise Caress This Centre’s main aim is to carry out research which improves the health and wellbeing of those using health services and the wider population. By having excellent links with NHS funded service providers and a range of community-based organisations, we can ensure our research is collaborative and relevant to current priorities in policy and practice.
Centre for Applied Childhood, Youth and Family Research Director: Professor Barry Percy-Smith This Centre is nationally and internationally renowned for producing research, policy and practice that promotes social equality and the wellbeing of children and families.
The Institute for Skin Integrity and Infection Prevention Director: Professor Karen Ousey This Institute’s aim is to promote a fully integrated, coordinated and applied science to clinical practice ethos. This includes investigation into the function of the skin as a barrier against medications, wound dressings and antimicrobials, design and development, clinical evaluation of products and devices and exploration of quality of life indicators for patients and their significant others.
“As an alumnus of the University of Huddersfield, I knew first-hand how great the staff and facilities were. Everything about the University is completed to a high standard, is well organised and engaging. The academics are both welcoming and professional in their approach. They always find the time to help and support, should they be asked, but at the same time give you the independence associated with higher education. I received great support from the start as one of the academics took time out to work with me to develop my research proposal. We discussed and deliberated my ideas until we were both happy with the plan meaning I felt confident from the start. Once I complete my PhD I hope to stay on as a research fellow, or maybe even try my hand at lecturing.” Adam Field PhD Researcher

By having excellent links with NHS funded service providers and a range of community-based organisations, we can ensure our research is collaborative and relevant to current priorities in policy and practice.
Centre for Applied Childhood, Youth and Family Research Director: Professor Barry Percy-Smith This Centre is nationally and internationally renowned for producing research, policy and practice that promotes social equality and the wellbeing of children and families.
The Institute for Skin Integrity and Infection Prevention Director: Professor Karen Ousey This Institute’s aim is to promote a fully integrated, coordinated and applied science to clinical practice ethos. This includes investigation into the function of the skin as a barrier against medications, wound dressings and antimicrobials, design and development, clinical evaluation of products and devices and exploration of quality of life indicators for patients and their significant others.
“As an alumnus of the University of Huddersfield, I knew first-hand how great the staff and facilities were. Everything about the University is completed to a high standard, is well organised and engaging. The academics are both welcoming and professional in their approach. They always find the time to help and support, should they be asked, but at the same time give you the independence associated with higher education. I received great support from the start as one of the academics took time out to work with me to develop my research proposal. We discussed and deliberated my ideas until we were both happy with the plan meaning I felt confident from the start. Once I complete my PhD I hope to stay on as a research fellow, or maybe even try my hand at lecturing.” Adam Field PhD Researcher

Research in Context Emily Hobhouse Letters Project Dr Rebecca Gill has researched extensively into humanitarian organisations and she is part of a major grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council to explore the letters of humanitarian campaigner Emily Hobhouse. The project has four main objectives:
“I have a special interest in the nineteenth Century and twentieth Century history of modern war, humanitarian aid and empire, and I am currently co-Ieading on the Emily Hobhouse Letters Project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Emily Hobhouse (1860 –1926), was a British peace activist and writer. Using her vast archive of letters and other writings, the Emily Hobhouse Letters Project is uncovering her contribution to international peace and humanitarianism. This includes her work in Germany following the First World War and her role in South African politics. It is a collaborative project, working with colleagues at other universities in the UK, as well as Switzerland and South Africa, and founded on shared interests in the history of relief work, women’s suffrage, internationalism and empire. Her newly-available archive provides a rich resource for postgraduate students wishing to pursue an interest in the history of humanitarianism and imperial politics.”
A re-internationalisation of imperial and South African history and a reconsideration of the politics of public memory in South Africa. Raising the profile of Hobhouse and key members of her circle as instrumental in the development of early twentieth Century reformism, humanitarianism and internationalism. Extending this public interest and engagement, including from secondary school pupils and heritage users, with the history of South Africa and internationalism. Assembling a network of international researchers, archivists and museum professionals to develop fresh interpretations of the individuals, networks and activities associated with South Africa and internationalism between 1899 and 1926.

Research in Context History academics at the University of Huddersfield supervise postgraduate research in a wide range of subject areas, with particular focus on history of healthcare, Holocaust studies, history of humanitarianism, post-colonialism, medieval and early modern culture, oral history, and public history. Our historians are also members of The North of England Consortium for Arts and Humanities which promotes research across all arts and humanities disciplines, and offers support to our researchers and encourages widening access to Master’s study. Their ongoing collaborations with local, regional and national museums, as well as heritage organisations create opportunities for our postgraduate students to develop their research skills within well-regarded professional environments. Our research students have access to high-profile public lectures that we host each year, ranging from talks by politicians such as Andy Burnham and John Bercow, MP, and encompassing the annual John Henry Whitley Lecture and Luddite Memorial Lecture. We also offer our postgraduates the opportunity to publish in their own peer reviewed journal, Postgraduate Perspectives on the Past, or on our Historians at Work blog. In addition to this, the Graduate Seminar gives our students a platform to share ideas and findings with other research students.
“My doctoral research is about ‘The experiences of visible minoritised groups at school in the North of England, 1960–1981’. The most exciting aspect of my project is the documentary film that I will produce from the interviews and the rest of my research. As a historian I tend to use the library and online research materials a great deal. Having access to searchable databases of national newspapers, for example, is incredibly useful. The main resource I access is my supervisors. Without their guidance and expertise I wouldn’t be able to produce high-quality work. I carried out a Master’s by Research degree at Huddersfield prior to starting my PhD, which left me perfectly placed for the next step of becoming an academic historian.” Joe Hopkinson History PhD Researcher

Hansard at Huddersfield: making parliamentary debates searchable The public records of the UK parliament are being optimised for search and research by our stylisticians and corpus linguistics experts, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The £80,510 project has made available more than two centuries’ worth of debates in digital form. This new interface will enable researchers to extract just the information they need from millions of words online. Since the early 1800s, the printed reports known as “Hansard” have provided reports of proceedings in Parliament. On 6 March 2019, the Hansard at Huddersfield team went to the House of Lords to launch their new website, hansard.hud.ac.uk, aimed at making the record of Parliament more searchable and accessible for professional and casual end-users. The project now covers the whole of Hansard from 1803 to early 2020 and the team is working with parliament on updating the website regularly.
Members of our research centres collaborate with professionals in peace studies and conflict resolution to enhance the linguistic skills and understanding of mediators and international negotiators, by producing instructional materials and running training courses.
“My research focuses on political language, including news reporting, and the stylistics of contemporary poetry. I supervise research students from a wide range of countries on topics from poetry to political discourse. I am excited to be leading the project to make Hansard more accessible to end-users and hope that it will in some modest way enhance public engagement with democracy. Another recent project I am involved in is the Language in Conflict project (with Dr Jim O’Driscoll and Dr Matthew Evans), which has resulted in the ‘Routledge Handbook of Language in Conflict (2019).”
Our forensic speech science experts are working on an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)-funded project to produce the largest forensically-relevant spoken corpus containing Northern British English accents, for use in the interpretation of voice evidence in criminal cases.

Research in Context
Fluid Corpus Manipulation Project The Fluid Corpus Manipulation project (FluCoMA) instigates new musical ways of exploiting ever-growing banks of sound and gestures within the digital composition process, by bringing breakthroughs of signal decomposition DSP (digital signal processing) and machine learning to the toolset of techno-fluent computer composers, creative coders and digital artists.
Music of Bushehr In this research project, Bushehr, one of the oldest and most important southern ports in Iran, is analysed to determine the reason behind the creation of a successful cultural dialogue between different religions and ethnicities, including immigrants and natives, and its result: the emergence of a new musical culture. “Bushehr was known politically and commercially as a principal port in the Persian Gulf in the 18th and 20th centuries. This port attracted businessmen, politicians and migrant workers, from different parts of the world, such as Europe, Africa, and of course Persia (now Iran). The peaceful cohabitation of different nationalities in Bushehr resulted in the emergence of a new musical culture, which I am focusing on in my research. I am particularly interested in the influence that various religions had on the creation of this new and fascinating musical culture. My research is conducted through historical and ethnological studies, as well as undertaking ethnomusicological analysis.”
“I highly recommend this research program, because it is an exceedingly nourishing environment for both parts of the whole: the ‘thinker’ and the ‘doer’ of music. The music research community at Huddersfield is filled with people who have equal enthusiasm and sense of wonder, yet all with their own approaches and ideas. It is one of the most creatively thinking and supportively challenging communities, in which we inspire each other to always strive to better articulate and execute our individual pursuits.” Dejana Sekulic Music PhD Researcher
MohammadReza Beladi Master’s by Research in Music
“As a professor of computer composition, my research is focused on how to make new sonorities beyond the mere demonstration of technological advances, and how these new elements integrate or challenge previous musical practices. As such, in my musical output, as well as in the Fluid Corpus Manipulation Project, the focus is on bridging gaps between aesthetic questions and technological ones. With our cutting-edge facilities, such as the Huddersfield Immersive Sound System, and our incredibly wide-ranging research community, our research students can explore the full range of possibilities, from creative coding to studio composition and DIY improvisation to chamber mixed music practice.”

The research team is developing cuttingedge software extension toolboxes for the three leading environments used by creative researchers, namely Max, Pd and SuperCollider. The toolboxes will be freely available to today’s dispersed researchers, allowing them to make full use of sound banks without having to tax their creative workflow with low-level DSP coding. They will open up a world of original musical and sonic possibilities, raising new questions, creating alternative research models and building richer bidirectional relationships between computer scientists and creative coders.

Archaeogenetics Research Work by the University of Huddersfield’s Archaeogenetics Research Group has been at the forefront of developing mitochondrial DNA as a tool for reconstructing the dispersal history of mankind, from a new model of the expansion of modern humans out of Africa to re-evaluations of the settlement history of Europe, Asia and the Pacific. Pivotal in the emergence of commercial genetic ancestry testing, this work generates immense public interest and creates many opportunities for broad engagement. It has provided an expert basis for TV and radio programmes, featured widely in the mainstream press and helped the Human Genetics Commission formulate guidelines for the genetic ancestry testing industry.
“Strong support has seen exciting research growth within the disciplines of Applied Sciences. Cutting-edge facilities have allowed us to consolidate long-standing strengths in synthetic chemistry for materials and pharmacological applications whilst developing new expertise in life sciences and geography. Here, our areas of interest include ancient DNA, molecular and cellular bases of disease, improved drug delivery methods, and remote sensing to understand environmental change.” Professor Michael Ginger, FRSB CMgr FCMI Dean, School of Applied Sciences

Important information This prospectus was prepared in the summer of 2021 for courses starting in September 2022 and is up to date as at the date of publication. Any subsequent changes to information will be published in the course information listings on our website courses.hud.ac.uk and you should check our website for the latest information before you apply. Changes to your course you have applied for If we propose to make a major change to a course that you are holding an offer for, then we will tell you as soon as possible so that you can decide whether to withdraw your application prior to enrolment.
Changes to your course after you enrol as a student We will always try to deliver your course and other services as described. However, sometimes we may have to make changes as set out below:
Changes to option modules
Where your course allows you to choose modules from a range of options, we will review these each year and change them to reflect the expertise of our staff, current trends in research and as a result of student feedback or demand for certain modules. We will always ensure that you have a range of options to choose from and we will let you know in good time the options available for you to choose for the following year.
Major changes
We will only make major changes to the core curriculum of a course or to our services if it is necessary for us to do so and provided such changes are reasonable. A major change in this context is a change that materially changes the services available to you; or the outcomes, or a significant part, of your course, such as the nature of the award or a substantial change to module content, teaching days (part-time provision), classes, type of delivery or assessment of the core curriculum.
142
For example, it may be necessary to make a major change to reflect changes in the law or the requirements of the University’s regulators; to meet the latest requirements of a commissioning or accrediting body; to improve the quality of educational provision; in response to student, examiners’ or other course evaluators’ feedback; and/or to reflect academic or professional changes within subject areas. Major changes may also be necessary because of circumstances outside our reasonable control, such as a key member of staff leaving the University or being unable to teach, where they have a particular specialism that can’t be adequately covered by other members of staff; or due to damage or interruption to buildings, facilities or equipment. Major changes would usually be made with effect from the next academic year, but this may not always be the case. We will notify you as soon as possible should we need to make a major change and will carry out suitable consultation with affected students. If you reasonably believe that the proposed change will cause you detriment or hardship we will, if appropriate, work with you to try to reduce the adverse effect on you or find an appropriate solution. Where an appropriate solution cannot be found and you contact us in writing before the change takes effect you can cancel your registration and withdraw from the University without liability to the University for future tuition fees. We will provide reasonable support to assist you with transferring to another university if you wish to do so.
Termination of course
Equal opportunities
In exceptional circumstances, we may, for reasons outside of our control, be forced to discontinue or suspend your course. Where this is the case, a formal exit strategy will be followed and we will notify you as soon as possible about what your options are, which may include transferring to a suitable replacement course for which you are qualified, being provided with individual teaching to complete the award for which you were registered, or claiming an interim award and exiting the University. If you do not wish to take up any of the options that are made available to you, then you can cancel your registration and withdraw from the course without liability to the University for future tuition fees and you will be entitled to a refund of all course fees paid to date. We will provide reasonable support to assist you with transferring to another university if you wish to do so.

We will only make major changes to the core curriculum of a course or to our services if it is necessary for us to do so and provided such changes are reasonable. A major change in this context is a change that materially changes the services available to you; or the outcomes, or a significant part, of your course, such as the nature of the award or a substantial change to module content, teaching days (part-time provision), classes, type of delivery or assessment of the core curriculum.
142
For example, it may be necessary to make a major change to reflect changes in the law or the requirements of the University’s regulators; to meet the latest requirements of a commissioning or accrediting body; to improve the quality of educational provision; in response to student, examiners’ or other course evaluators’ feedback; and/or to reflect academic or professional changes within subject areas. Major changes may also be necessary because of circumstances outside our reasonable control, such as a key member of staff leaving the University or being unable to teach, where they have a particular specialism that can’t be adequately covered by other members of staff; or due to damage or interruption to buildings, facilities or equipment. Major changes would usually be made with effect from the next academic year, but this may not always be the case. We will notify you as soon as possible should we need to make a major change and will carry out suitable consultation with affected students. If you reasonably believe that the proposed change will cause you detriment or hardship we will, if appropriate, work with you to try to reduce the adverse effect on you or find an appropriate solution. Where an appropriate solution cannot be found and you contact us in writing before the change takes effect you can cancel your registration and withdraw from the University without liability to the University for future tuition fees. We will provide reasonable support to assist you with transferring to another university if you wish to do so.
Termination of course
Equal opportunities
In exceptional circumstances, we may, for reasons outside of our control, be forced to discontinue or suspend your course. Where this is the case, a formal exit strategy will be followed and we will notify you as soon as possible about what your options are, which may include transferring to a suitable replacement course for which you are qualified, being provided with individual teaching to complete the award for which you were registered, or claiming an interim award and exiting the University. If you do not wish to take up any of the options that are made available to you, then you can cancel your registration and withdraw from the course without liability to the University for future tuition fees and you will be entitled to a refund of all course fees paid to date. We will provide reasonable support to assist you with transferring to another university if you wish to do so.

We aim to create conditions where staff and students are treated solely on the basis of their merits, abilities and potential, regardless of gender, age, race, caste, class, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins, marital status, disability, sexual orientation, family responsibility, trade union activity, political or religious belief, or age. Please visit our website to see our Equal Opportunities and Diversity Policy hud.ac/d3d
