Professor Artur Jaworski
Director of Graduate Education
Welcome to the University of Huddersfield and to the School of Computing and Engineering. We offer a warm welcome to all our new Postgraduate Researchers (PGRs) and we are looking forward to you joining our vibrant research community. This is an exciting time for you, as you enter our thriving and growing research community, which is dedicated to expanding the frontiers of human knowledge. We aim to provide an exceptional environment for research and for the development of researchers and their careers.
Introducing your School Research Office
We have a dedicated and experienced Research Admin Team who are based within our Graduate School, who are here to help you settle in and support you throughout your student journey. The School Research Office is open from 8.30am to 4.00pm, Monday to Friday, and you can contact us by email:

Student Guidance and Support Office
There may be occasions when you experience issues or challenges that affect your research studies and our Student Advisers and Academic Skills Tutor are on hand to help.
Support is available to you throughout your studies and the Student Guidance and Support Team can provide you with support for both personal and academic matters. Be it adjusting to university life, managing your studies and other commitments, dealing with exam stress, or that you just need someone to talk to; we’re here to help. They can also help if you wish to raise Disability related matters.
Our Academic Skills Tutor can help you with study and time management techniques, referencing, technical English, Maths and other study related issues on a one to one basis.
The Guidance Team are based opposite the Student Support Office in Spärck Jones, on Floor 1 in Room 7 (SJ1/07).
IT Support
We have dedicated IT Technicians based within Spärck Jones, who are able to support you with the day to day technical computer issues that may arise whilst you are studying onsite. This allows you easy and quick access to resolve any technical issues and gain specialised advice and support.
iPoint
For information, support and advice, iPoint is your one-stop shop for everything you need while you are with us. You can find the iPoint helpdesk in Student Central as well as specific help points around campus - which means that you are never far away from someone who can help.
School Induction
To help you to settle in, we would like to equip you with essential information that will prepare you for your research journey. Shortly after enrolment you will be invited to a compulsory School Induction session, also known as your Welcome Meeting. During this time, you can expect to find out more about the following and meet other new research students:
Welcome and address from the Director of Graduate Education
- Supporting Research Students (presented by Student Guidance Team)
- Researcher Training and Development
- Health and Safety
- Talk from our current students and supervisors
- Regulations processes (presented by Assistant Registrar)
- Library Information Skills Session
- Academic English Support for International Students
Please be aware that this is not the official Induction timetable - instead, it gives you a flavour of how the session will be structured and the type of information you can expect to receive.
The time, date and location of your Welcome Meeting/School Induction can be found in the pre-enrolment portal. Please note, you will receive an invitation email with the date and location after your enrolment.
