About Us

Successful, innovative and modern – welcome to the University of Huddersfield.

Whatever you aim to do in life, it pays to get a good education. And with high standards of teaching and learning and excellent facilities that's exactly what our students can expect from the University of Huddersfield. Based right in the town centre and at the heart of the local community, we help thousands of people, from school leavers to those returning to education after a gap, achieve their goals each year.

In many areas, we lead the way in development and research and have won a number of prestigious awards; being awarded University of the Year for 2013 in the Times Higher Education Awards, Entrepreneurial University of the Year award in 2012, achieved a Gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) in 2017* and selected as the first winner of the Global Teaching Excellence Award. 

We pride ourselves on the range of opportunities students and staff can enjoy here. In addition to developing our students' academic abilities, they also have access to one of the most friendly, diverse and vibrant student scenes in the country. And, as a direct result of our practical and vocational approach, combining real work experience and high academic standards, we have a proven, impressive record of graduate employment.
