Why Huddersfield?

Every year we are proud to welcome students from over 130 countries to Huddersfield, who are attracted by our academic reputation, high quality courses and innovative research opportunities, all with strong links to international commerce and industry. They become part of our diverse population of 24,000 students, studying for more than 400 undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. In a recent national UK survey, our international students said that they would recommend the University of Huddersfield.

We are a friendly and student-centred university with a strong professional orientation and focus on employability.  The University of Huddersfield is an exciting, stimulating place to learn and is growing as a centre of research and academic excellence.

Huddersfield is one of the top ten UK universities for integrating paid work placements (internships) into its courses and we have a higher than average graduate employability rate (around 92%) because our courses have been developed in conjunction with employers and industry needs.

We have an attractive campus with a canal running through it and Huddersfield, as the largest town in Europe, has a city feel to it with almost everything you need ranging from theatres to boutiques. The cost of living is cheaper than lots of other cities and towns, so your money will go further.
