Welcome to Huddersfield Everyone’s got an opinion on what’s important when choosing a university.

What really matters though is what you think. We realise it’s one of the biggest decisions of your life – so we hope you’ll find everything you need in this prospectus and on our website to make your decision as easy as possible.

A quick word from our Chancellor, Professor Sir Patrick Stewart: “Ask a University of Huddersfield graduate and they’ll tell you that studying here was a great experience, but more importantly, it prepared them for a successful future. That’s what we focus on, supporting and developing our students so they leave here ready to take their place in the world of work.

“Our reputation for graduate employment and professional links mean that you can be confident we can help you achieve your goals.” ■ Image: Mitch Jenkins, Getty Images

University of the Year 2013 The University of Huddersfield became the Times Higher Education University of the Year in November 2013.

The University of the Year is awarded to ‘an institution that has demonstrated exceptional performance in the past academic year’. The winner should also evidence ‘particular bold, imaginative and innovative initiatives that have advanced the institution’s reputation’.

This award followed hot on the heels of the Entrepreneurial University of the Year award the previous year.

www.hud.ac.uk

02 - 03

A Four Star University Huddersfield is a four star university rated as ‘highly international, demonstrating excellence in both teaching and research with an excellent environment for students and staff’, as awarded

by QS Stars. We secured the highest five star ratings for teaching excellence, employability, our international community, facilities for our students and our scholarships and bursaries.

QS Stars is an evaluation system for universities worldwide, with institutions from over 30 countries participating in the QS Stars programme.

Queen’s Awards The University of Huddersfield has received two prestigious Queen’s Awards – one for international trade and one for enterprise promotion.

The Award for International Trade is awarded to businesses which have achieved substantial overseas growth and commercial success.

The University has formed many international partnerships and seen its international student population grow year on year with students from over 120 countries.

The Queen’s Award for Enterprise Promotion is an award for individuals who have played an outstanding role in promoting enterprise skills and attitudes. This was awarded to Professor Liz Towns-Andrews, the University’s 3M Professor of Innovation. www.hud.ac.uk

Open Days Not everyone looks great in a hat. That’s why trying things out and getting a second opinion is important before you commit. So, the best way to choose a university is to give it a test drive.

Attending an Open Day is a great way to find out all you need to know. You’ll meet the lecturers, see the campus first hand and there’ll be plenty of students around to give you their no holds barred view. Why not bring family or friends, you’ll be more relaxed and can make a day of it?

Come along to our 2015 Open Days on: Wednesday 24 June Thursday 25 June Saturday 19 September Saturday 24 October Friday 4 December All our Open Days run from 9.30am – 3.00pm.

You can book your place, take a look at the Open Day programme and choose the talks you want to attend at www.hud.ac.uk/open-days If you prefer you can call us on 01484 472282 or email opendays@hud.ac.uk We recommend that you arrive by lunchtime so that you have time to attend the subject area talks you’re interested in, see the accommodation you might be living in and explore the campus. iHud We know there’s a lot to remember when it comes to university, but iHud is here to help.

Register for iHud and we'll email you reminders about our Open Days, as well as sending you information on accommodation and finance.

You’ll even get tips for writing a UCAS personal statement. iHud is your one stop shop for up to date news and information on all aspects of university life. Think of it as your university toolkit. You can register for iHud by visiting www.hud.ac.uk/ihud

Teaching excellence At Huddersfield we have a great reputation for excellence. Did you know that we are the first university where 100% of our teaching staff are members of the Higher Education Academy?

We’ve asked a few of our staff and students to tell you what makes us so different, and how this will make a difference to you if you become a student here.

Iasha Masood Here at Huddersfield we’re all about being international.

This could be learning a language whilst you study with us, or making friends with international students (we have students from over 120 countries). Or it could be going on an international trip or placement.

That’s exactly what Iasha did. ▶▶

International experiences Iasha studies on our Fashion Design with Textiles BA(Hons) course and spent her placement year working in New York, Berlin and London.

“A placement year was something I looked for when I was searching for my degree course and I’m glad I made the most of every second.

I worked for five companies in three different countries during my year in industry. This included three months working for one of the most celebrated designer names in New York, Anna Sui, as well as stints with designers in Berlin and London. I loved the idea of getting experience and travelling at the same time and I had five very different experiences of the types of work in the fashion field.

“The placement year was a life-changing experience and really helped me to develop as a person. I was very shy at the beginning of the year but doing a placement really brought me out of my shell.

“Anna Sui designs clothing, shoes, cosmetics, eyewear and accessories, as well as her signature fragrances, and I got to work in the clothing design and pattern-making department. I worked on pattern making, organising garment fittings and booking models. At fittings, I took notes as Anna was making changes to the samples. This really was invaluable time, working with Anna Sui herself.

“But the work itself is just half of the experience.

I’ve got friends across the world now. I met other interns from Portugal, Italy and France, and we’ve stayed friends. I also learnt a lot about business and I became much more open-minded and inspired. The placement year really prepared me for life after graduation as it helped me to make great connections in the fashion world, from buyers and photographers to business owners and investors.

“The placement year has made me even more focussed for my final year. I’ve learnt you can find inspiration in everything. I’ve now got a sketchbook full of ideas. After I’ve graduated I really want to go back to New York. I’m looking at postgraduate studies in the States and I’m interested in a career in electronic clothing – which are garments and accessories that contain computers, lights and all sorts of gadgets for the modern age.” ■

“I also took part in the Erasmus scheme, with the help of Huddersfield’s Placement Team, which meant I got to spend four months in Berlin working for fashion label Studio Laend Phuengkit. The designer recognised the excellent skills that I’d been taught in my first two years at uni. He got me to design one of his prints and it was in his AW14/15 Collection!

Andrew Crampton Dr Andrew Crampton teaches on our Computing courses.

He’s just won our ‘Inspirational Teaching’ award.

Teaching excellence is an important part of your University experience. Find out why teaching at Huddersfield is so inspiring. ▶▶

www.hud.ac.uk

Inspirational teaching We can give you facts about how fantastic our tutors are, but we know that you want to hear about what our students think of them.

Our Thank You Awards have been running since 2006. We work with the Students’ Union to ask our students to nominate staff here at Huddersfield in a number of categories including Assessment and Feedback, Excellence in Student Support and Inspirational Teaching. This year we received 327 nominations for our inspiring tutors. It was hard to pick just one but the judges did – and they picked Andrew.

Here at Huddersfield we’re proud that we have teaching staff like Andrew. We encourage our tutors to be the best that they can be and to inspire you every time you walk into a classroom. ■

www.hud.ac.uk

Here’s what one of his students wrote on their nomination form:

Andrew is a phenomenal teacher who can break down complex concepts in mathematics and help students to understand them. When he helps me during coding, he doesn’t just tell me how to write the code, but instead he talks to me in a way that makes me think about what to write. Even when Andrew talks to us about more day-to-day topics such as number systems, he makes it a fun, enjoyable, and interactive experience.

14 - 15

It was an honour to receive this award especially as it was my students who had voted for me. Studying Computing, especially the Maths element that I specialise in, can be hard work. It takes a lot of practice and a lot of getting things wrong before they start to go right, which makes it all the more rewarding when the penny drops and all the hard work pays off. I try to create a learning environment where students aren’t afraid to make mistakes, as this is a great way to learn. I don’t think they like my Maths jokes though!

Dr Andrew Crampton, Computing.

Janet Hargreaves You’ll hear the word ‘innovation’ used a lot at the moment, it’s a real buzzword. At Huddersfield we don’t just talk about innovation because it’s cool, we talk about it because it’s in our blood, it’s what we’re all about. Professor Janet Hargreaves, a National Teaching Fellow, explains what innovation means here at the University – and more importantly, what it’ll mean to you if you study here. ▶▶

www.hud.ac.uk

Innovative approach One of the easiest ways to explain innovation within the University is to look at our courses and teaching staff.

1. Professional experience The University of Huddersfield is the first university in the UK at which ALL teaching staff – that’s over 750 of them – have been awarded professional recognition by the Higher Education Academy (HEA). This is a pretty amazing achievement. Fellowships are only awarded to academics who can demonstrate their knowledge and ability to teach to a high standard.

This includes assessment and feedback – important aspects of learning any new subject.

The more constructive the feedback that you get for your work, the more you learn. Sounds simple and it is really. It helps you learn from any mistakes and improve with every essay, exam or presentation to gain better results. And that means a better degree. We know that we’re pretty great at this. In fact as far as the National Student Survey* is concerned, we're a Top Ten mainstream UK university for our assessment and feedback.

And there’s more – over the past six years we’ve become the UK’s leading university for National Teaching Fellowships which mark Britain’s best academics. National Teaching Fellowships recognise and celebrate individuals who make an outstanding impact on the student learning experience. But what does this mean to you? Well, put simply, it means that you’ll be taught by some of the best, those at the top of their game, the leaders in their field. National Teaching Fellows bring extensive knowledge and experience to the University and this gets fed into the way you are taught, the way you learn and things that you achieve. *National Student Survey 2014. www.hud.ac.uk

2. Professional knowledge Academics never stop researching, there is always something new and exciting to be discovered. For instance, I am currently undertaking research using an oral history approach to explore the experiences of nurses who volunteer with Médecins Sans Frontières. At the University of Huddersfield, research is not a bolt on, it has shaped our courses – making them challenging, exciting and thought provoking. We have world-class centres of research excellence and specialist facilities that enable research to be conducted by both our staff and students. In addition, many of our academics are influential thinkers and leaders in their field and these qualities filter down throughout our teaching.

3. Professional life The big question when you’re thinking about going to university is ‘Will I get a job when I graduate?’ Here at Huddersfield we are confident that our courses and our staff will help you to achieve your goals. The way in which we innovate – through our courses, our facilities and our staff – all set you on the right path for an amazing career. We are in the top ten universities in the UK for graduate employability. One of the ways in which we’ve achieved these results is to ensure that both innovation and enterprise are encompassed within our courses. And the way in which we work with businesses ensures that when you graduate, you’ll have all the skills you need to go out there and succeed.

UNIVERSITY OF HUDDERSFIELD 18 19 - 19

4. Professional accreditation As a University we want to design and deliver courses that will give you the skills to go out into the world of work and compete and perform alongside the best. Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by a governing body – it means they approve of our course content and the qualifications and skills it provides.

We have over 70 professional accreditations for University of Huddersfield courses including: • ACCA – Association of Chartered Certified Accountants • BCS – British Computer Society • BPS – British Psychological Society • CWDC – Children’s Workforce Development Council • GPhC – The General Pharmaceutical Council • HCPC – Health and Care Professions Council • IET – Institution of Engineering and Technology (the Chartered Institute for IT) • NMC – Nursing and Midwifery Council • Ofsted – Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills • RIBA – Royal Institute of British Architects • Royal Society of Chemistry • SRA – Solicitors Regulation Authority ■

Employment and careers support A degree alone won’t necessarily guarantee a successful future. That requires guidance, support and being aware of all the options available to you.

Careers and Employability Service A successful future begins when you start your course. However, you may not be entirely sure what you want to do once you graduate. And that’s fine – you won’t be alone. Our Careers and Employability Service is the envy of many other leading higher education institutions. It’s their job to make you aware of the options available and help improve your chances of success in the jobs market.

The emphasis we place on work experience is well justified and that’s why our courses offer the opportunity of professional work experience to our students. You’ll always be encouraged to get your sleeves rolled up and we can help you to identify and apply for opportunities.

We offer one to one guidance, bespoke careers development workshops delivered by careers advisors and employers, careers fairs attended by national companies and a JobShop. Find out more at: Huddcareers @HudUniCareers www.hud.ac.uk/careers

What do employers want?

Employers value graduates because they: // Challenge how things are done and approach things from a different perspective. // Use their initiative and act without waiting for instruction. // Possess problem solving skills and flexibility. // Assimilate knowledge quickly and bring new ideas and energy.

EmployableME EmployableME is our approach to careers and employability. It’s about taking control of your own career planning – with support from your professionally qualified and experienced awardwinning careers team. Your EmployableME journey starts when you begin University.

After you become a student at Huddersfield, everything that you do and learn from that point will help you to reach your end destination of becoming an employable graduate. ■

www.hud.ac.uk

Enterprise opportunities We’ve won numerous awards and accolades that recognise the entrepreneurial activity here at Huddersfield. If you’ve got business ideas or ambitions then we have someone here who can help you turn them into reality.

EmployableME is our approach to careers and employability. It’s about taking control of your own career planning – with support from your professionally qualified and experienced awardwinning careers team.

The right tools for the job We like it when stuff just works and we’re pretty sure you do too. We believe access to equipment should be simple without having to resort to technobabble to be able use it.

It’s why you’ll have a single log-in for WiFi, email and all the software you’ll need for your course.

You’ll also have oodles of storage for your work – accessible on or off campus. So the next time you leave your memory stick on the bus you’ll still have a back up. Genius.

It’s worth noting that continuous investment in our facilities and technology means that, regardless of the subject you study, you’ll be learning in an environment that reflects what it’s like in the real world.

The Library Our Library is pretty special. It contains over 500 state of the art PCs and Macs. Oh and lots of books and journals. Around 330,000 in print form and literally millions in digital format.

You’ll like the staff too. They’ve been finalists in The Times Higher Education Awards and include a National Teaching Fellow, a World Information Service Professional of the Year and an Information Literacy Practitioner of the Year.

In fact the National Student Satisfaction surveys show that student satisfaction with our library facilities is consistently above average when compared to other universities.

Accessing information in the Library is simple via our MyReading system. You can use it when you want, wherever you want. The Library is open seven days a week during term time and round-the-clock for most of the year, and our computer lab is open 24 hours a day all year round.

www.hud.ac.uk

You have access to: // Specialist subject librarians – real humans, trained to help you find the information you need. // IT support for printing, copying and scanning. // An electronic enquiry service, accessible 24 hours a day. // A comprehensive range of services to assist students with disabilities. // A virtual learning environment (UniLearn) for essential information for your course. // The Huddersfield UniApp, which includes a personalised timetable, just in case you forget where you’re supposed to be and when. // More than 70 laptops available for loan 24-hours a day. // The UniAsk community where you can swap tips and knowledge with other students online.

Our Customer Service Excellence award recognises the exceptional service that we offer our students, from our Academic Librarians to our IT support. We’re always here to help.

I love the huge variety of accessible sources in the library and online.

Quote from a Huddersfield student from the 2014 National Student Survey (NSS).

Heritage Quay Heritage Quay is the official archive for the University. The archive holds 120 collections in areas including music, sport, women’s history, politics, education and the arts. Our ‘Gesture Wall’ (pictured bottom right) is a dynamic, gesture-driven, surround-sound enabled, archive database that allows users to interact with the material in our collections on a huge seven metre wall.

Our students work with leading professionals in this innovative facility to uncover, explore and animate the unique collections held here. You may want to expand your own interests, develop your creativity and make interesting discoveries to give your coursework the edge. Or you could develop your skills and employability through placement opportunities with Heritage Quay. ■

Academic skills Fail to prepare and you may as well prepare to fail. Anyone will tell you that.

It’s very true but also very avoidable – especially with the help and wisdom of our Academic Skills Tutors. After all, it’s not just about what you do but the way you do it.

Students work with Academic Skills Tutors for a variety of reasons. Sometimes because they are unsure about what’s expected of them at university, or because they are struggling with certain aspects of academic assessment. But most often it’s to help them achieve that all important 2:1 or 1st class Honours degree.

At Huddersfield we have a large, dedicated team of knowledgeable, friendly and accessible Academic Skills Tutors. Their job is to work with you to support your learning development. And that means providing you with quality advice and support to help you make the transition to higher education. In addition, they’ll help you to develop the skills you’ll need for preparing coursework, as well as for any other challenges you may face.

It may be that all you need is a single tutorial to discuss an approach. However, if it’s something more detailed then several one-to-one tutorials may be more beneficial. After all, a problem shared is a problem halved.

Here are some of the ways in which our Academic Skills Tutors can help: // Help with your research // Methodologies for successful problem solving // Time-management // Improving your academic writing style // How to structure your work effectively // Help with constructing arguments // How and where to use references effectively // Finding and evaluating information // How to prepare for exams // Numeracy and IT support. ■

Learning a language Doing business in another country is so much easier if you speak the language.

So is buying a sandwich. It will impress almost everyone – your friends, your gran. But most importantly it will impress potential employers. It also means you won’t go hungry.

Learning a modern language in conjunction with your main subject can make you a very attractive proposition for employers of all sizes, especially ones with global interests and overseas offices. We offer a range of languages including Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Professional English (for non-native speakers). The great thing is that our courses also help you to develop an understanding of the culture and customs of the countries where your chosen language is used.

Our language courses are flexible and provide you with a good level of proficiency whether you’re a complete beginner or you’ve studied to GCSE or A Level.

There are a few ways in which we can help you to develop your language skills: Minor subject A language can be included as a minor subject in some course programmes. This means it makes up one third of your course.

Modern language as an option Many courses allow you to choose a modern language as an option, which means you take one language class a week.

Our Professional English modules are also available to all students who don’t have English as their first language. Please take a look at the course pages on our website to view a list of these courses www.hud.ac.uk/courses

www.hud.ac.uk

Combined Honours On our Combined Honours degree, if you’re already an advanced language student you can decide to study solely modern languages such as French and Spanish. Or you can choose to study languages from beginner level as a major, minor or optional module alongside subjects such as English or Business.

Visit www.hud.ac.uk/courses to find out more about this course.

Independent study You can also choose to study a language outside your course studies. Just register with our Modern Languages Centre. If you’d like to know more www.hud.ac.uk/courses/supporting/ language

Erasmus+ Erasmus+ is the European Commission’s programme for study and work opportunities within the EU during your degree. It is an excellent opportunity to enhance your CV and widen your university experience. Many of our courses have co-operation agreements in place with partner universities around the EU, such as Universidad Europea de Madrid in Spain, Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences in Finland and Leibniz Universitat Hannover in Germany.

International exchanges If you want to venture further afield than Europe, we also have strong exchange links with overseas universities, including Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Soonchunhyang University in South Korea.

It’s worth noting that many of our partner institutions teach in English and we also have exchange programmes with institutions in the USA, so don’t worry if you aren’t a language student or are concerned that you might have few or no language skills – that shouldn’t get in the way of a great opportunity.

If you want to find out more, email our International Office at international.office@hud.ac.uk ■

Ellie Law is a Music BMus(Hons) student who has recently returned from a year in France on the Erasmus+ scheme.

After studying French for only one year alongside my music degree, I was a little nervous about moving to Besançon, France as part of the Erasmus+ scheme.

When studying abroad it’s important to keep a positive attitude, no matter how challenging it can be. My experience means that I’ve achieved a deeper level of independence, improved my language skills beyond what would have been possible otherwise, had the opportunity to travel and have come back to Huddersfield with strong friendships and feeling refreshed for my final year.

I would definitely recommend studying a modern language or studying abroad as it not only helps to develop cultural and linguistic awareness, but it gives you self-assurance and skills to show off to friends, family and potential employers. ■

Fees and finance A university education is a great investment. Here are the facts about fees and funding.

The facts 1 Students don’t pay – graduates pay.

2 You only begin to pay back your loans once you start working and earn £21,000* or more per year.

3 On average graduates earn £12,000 more per year than non-graduates over their working life.

How much will it cost to study at Huddersfield?

£9,000

*

per year

Every pound that you invest in your education is spent on you. We continue to invest carefully in excellent staff, buildings and facilities.

If you choose to take a placement year we only charge £750* to contribute to the cost of your tutor support and admin during the year.

How does the tuition fee system work?

The Government provides tuition fee loans meaning that there are no up-front fees and nothing to pay until after you leave university and get a job (and are earning £21,000* or more). Your repayments will be deducted from your salary by your employer in the same way they deduct tax and national insurance payments.

How much will I pay back per month?

The amount you pay back is linked to the amount you earn, not the amount you borrow.

If you stop earning £21,000* or more, you’ll stop making repayments. The table below gives you an idea of how much you’ll repay each month.

What other loans and grants are available?

Help towards living costs Living cost support is available for eligible students in two ways: Maintenance loan – Up to a maximum of £5,740* per year. You repay this in the same way as your Tuition Fee Loan. The amount of loan you receive is means-tested and will vary if you qualify for the maintenance grant.

Accommodation Where will I live? It’s the question we get asked the most. You can still live at home – unless your folks have plans for your room. However, if you feel like moving out there are lots of options to choose from.

DIGS operate Storthes Hall Park Student Village and Ashenhurst Student Houses. The great thing is that you can live in these halls for just your first year, or for the duration of your time at University.

It’s up to you. With over 1,300 residents, Storthes Hall Park Student Village is the largest student community in Huddersfield and Ashenhurst is only a short walk from the main University campus. Both offer excellent facilities and a community of like-minded students, so you’ll be getting to know the neighbours in no time.

Want to do your own thing?

Huddersfield and its surrounding areas offer some great alternative accommodation so you can find a place that’s just right for you.

The first thing you’ll discover when looking for a place to live is that we don’t offer accommodation directly. We do that through DIGS Student, a privately owned company that specialises in providing high quality, affordable accommodation and who are recommended and approved by us.

The Students’ Union Join a sports team or society. Volunteer in the community.

Love student life. This is your Students’ Union. ▶▶

www.hud.ac.uk

The Students’ Union Huddersfield Students’ Union (SU) is the home of student life on campus.

We’re here to support you and be your voice on campus. We can do this because we are fully independent from the University.

We’re led by a team of five Executive Officers who have been elected by the student body to ensure that your views are always at the forefront of what we do. From the opening week’s Freshers’ Festival to the annual sports Varsity with Bradford and our SU Awards night, we’re always striving to enhance your experience at Huddersfield.

Get active Everyone is passionate about something, whether you’re an aspiring athlete or a Harry Potter enthusiast. So with almost 100 sports clubs and societies on campus there really is something for everyone to try their hand at. All our sports clubs and societies are great for meeting like-minded people and making new friends. If there’s a club or society that doesn’t yet exist you can simply start your own with fellow students.

Take a break With a large communal space featuring comfy sofas, free WiFi and computer access, the Students’ Union is the ideal place to chill out with friends or catch up on the current Facebook drama. Set on Floor 5 of Student Central, it is also the home of our Student Media groups, HudLets (our accommodation service) and our Advice Centre.

We’ve got your back Studying at University can sometimes come with challenges that are difficult to face by yourself. Our Advice Centre offers free, impartial and confidential advice on matters that can affect any student. From welfare issues and financial advice to academic support or housing information, all queries are handled sensitively by our professional and experienced team of advisors.

Build your CV At the end of your time at University you’ll want a CV that ensures you stand out from the crowd.

We can help by providing you with training and employability skills linked to a range of fun and worthwhile activities such as volunteer schemes that help the local community or being a Course Rep to help shape student life for others.

Getting your voice heard Our mission statement is ‘making student life better’; we do this by making your voice integral to everything we do. If there’s an issue that is important to you we can help you campaign for change and lobby the University to make positive changes for students.

Work hard. Play hard.

Throughout the year the SU puts on a series of headline events such as Freshers’ Festival, Bonfire Night and Varsity. Alongside this is ‘Give it a Go’ – a programme of trips, sessions and events designed to help you love your time in Huddersfield. These include trips to Europe such as Paris and Amsterdam where you can experience the culture, nightlife and sightseeing for a fraction of the normal cost. And UK based trips including days out to Alton Towers Resort, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Blue Planet Aquarium, Yorkshire Sculpture Park and more. We make sure that there’s always something happening so your time at Huddersfield can be as fulfilling and rewarding as possible.

Freshers’ Festival Every year we welcome students onto campus with a jam-packed week of activities and events called Freshers’ Festival. There’s everything from a campus tea party to nights out and it all culminates in our massive outdoor live music event HudLive – which last year saw DJ Fresh headline alongside Huw Stephens from BBC Radio 1. ■

Huddersfield is Pennine Yorkshire at its best and the perfect backdrop to the University campus.

In fact, Huddersfield has been voted one of the happiest places to live in the country.* Huddersfield folk are particularly happy with the cost of living – good news if you inadvertently find yourself having to buy a round of drinks.

If it’s character and quirkiness you’re after, Huddersfield takes someBradford beating.Leeds It boasts Kingston the 2 upon M6 in any third largest numberHuddersfield of listed buildings UKHull Liverpool town or city, from its stunning Victorian railway Sheffield – the station to its most conspicuous Manchesterlandmark M6 Castle Hill, which is unique Victorian Tower on M1 A1 great for kite flying.

Huddersfield has a cosmopolitan feel and strong cultural associations. It’s a vibrant town, particularly for clubbers, so if you fancy throwing some shapes, Tokyo’s the place to be (the club not the city). Alternatively, there are lots of cool cafés and bars offering an eclectic mix of music and exotic food and drinks.

The location’s pretty good too. Huddersfield’s on the M62 corridor and has a mainline M1 railway, which means easy access and good links with M25 Cardiff M5 London– Manchester (33 mins) and Leeds (20 mins) great for seeing a gig or a spot of retail therapy.

The only downside is it’s easier for the folks to visit, so just Exeter make sure you tidy up. ■

Student Central Written by Rebecca Haslam.

Hundreds of students pass through Student Central every day to use the new facilities.

Here are a few things you’ll find within the glass doors of this fantastic building.

It really has everything students could wish for…

Huddersfood Student Central is home to several food outlets including Starbucks, Costa and Pizza Neo, which means it’s easy to refuel between lectures and a great place to hang out with mates.

The Library Recently refurbished, the Library offers floor after floor of academic resources for students, no matter what subject they study, and you can access it straight from Student Central.

The Students’ Union With a floor dedicated almost completely to the SU, members of the team are always on hand to discuss issues with you and help you to start up new societies and activities.

Careers and Employability Service The Careers and Employability Service and JobShop are a massive help when looking for some extra income and also to help prepare students for when they graduate and begin to look for serious employment.

Team Hud’s Gym and Fitness Studios There's a wide range of activities and classes on right throughout the week. The gym and extensive sports hall mean you can work out your frustrations over deadlines on a treadmill or, as I do, unwind at a Pilates class.

hud.ac/student-life

Shop ’til you drop The shop, located in the entrance of Student Central, is stocked with snacks, stationery and even groceries if you’re running low. It’s staffed by students and all profits go back into the student services that make student life at Huddersfield great.

Home or Away?

Written by Rebecca Buchanan.

Starting university is a big change and choosing whether to live at home or away can be a real dilemma. Not to worry though, here’s my fun and fool-proof list of pros and cons to help you decide.

GENU S T U D EI N E NT I N F O • hud.ac

/studen

t-life •

Living away PROS 3 The friends you make in student accommodation will be your friends for life.

3 It gives you a chance to grow up and be independent. Money, food and getting to university on time are all down to you.

3 Learn valuable life skills like cooking and cleaning.

3 For the geeks out there – you can get to the library whenever you like and don’t have to worry about rushing for your last train.

CONS 6 Trust me, the kitchen will get messy so expect to clean up after other people’s mess. Yuk! 6 You may need to improve your cooking skills.

6 Going shopping, just because you can, will be a thing of the past. New responsibilities like paying rent and buying food… all that boring grown up stuff will become a reality.

6 Feeling homesick is natural and happens to everybody. A helpful thing to remember is that your folks and friends back home are only a phone call away.

Staying at home PROS 3 Food will be readily available. Be it home cooked or a well stocked cupboard.

3 There’ll be no need to closely budget for rent and bills.

3 No sharing kitchens and bathrooms.

3 You can keep the part-time job you had before uni.

CONS 6 The commute to and from uni or after a night out with your new friends.

6 Getting hassled by your folks about study deadlines and being messy.

6 The library is too far away for a quick study session.

6 Your noisy little brother or sister disturbing you as deadlines loom.

I hope that helps you to make up your mind. Talk to your parents and students and read blogs for more advice, but most of all listen to your gut instinct and you won’t go far wrong. Take a look online to see what other students think hud.ac/student-life hud.ac/student-life

REASONS TO GO ON A PLACEMENT

Written by Lauren.

Placements are one of the best things about courses at Huddersfield.

They sound a bit scary at first but they are such a good opportunity to gain real work experience in the career area you want to go into. In fact they are so good that it was easy to think of 10 top reasons why you'd want to incorporate a placement year into your studies.

hud.ac/student-life

66-67

1. Discovery Successful placement years help you to discover which sectors you want to work in, and which sectors you don’t.

Going on placement really helps you understand if it’s your kind of thing and what you want to do.

Camilla Burr, Physiotherapy BSc(Hons)

7. Network You might meet your new BFF, future business partner or important industry contacts.

The work placements have given me industry insight and helped me gain vital contacts for the future.

Jessica Dearnley, Journalism BA(Hons)

8. Get a taste 2. Rewards Some employers pay you for the work you do and may even offer you a job after graduation.

3. See the world You can do your placement anywhere in the world, particularly if you speak another language.

4. Get ahead Over a third of graduate jobs go to students who already have experience in their chosen area.

5. Placement experts The University of Huddersfield is one of the top ten universities for courses with placements. So take advantage of this opportunity.

The Placement Unit is very helpful!

James Gedney-Higham, Business Studies BA(Hons)

6. Excel Taking a placement year can really improve your degree classification.

A placement will give you a real sense of life after graduation. The self-discipline developed on a placement year prepares you for the working world.

It has allowed me to transfer skills that I only ever exercised in the classroom into industry.

Valentina Taglialavore, Fashion Communication and Promotion BA(Hons)

9. Play a part You’ve got loads of knowledge and employers will welcome your opinions and ideas.

10. Feel supported It’s an introduction to your future in a supported way. The employer and University will work together to make sure that you feel comfortable and confident.

The support from the University during placement was fantastic.

Ben Middleton, Air Transport and Logistics Management BSc(Hons)

Everyone thinks that being a student means no money. Right?

Well this section is full of advice on how to make the most of your cash while at Uni. It's based entirely on my own experience of being a student on a budget, but don’t worry, it doesn’t mean you'll have years of living on baked beans.

Discount cards

Shop wisely

Go online

Choose your student account carefully.

Don’t just pick the one with the most freebies.

Read the small print to understand which offers the best deal financially.

Invest in an NUS card.

It’s £12 for the year and will bag you great discounts at tons of places.

Supermarket own brands taste more or less the same but are a lot cheaper.

Get exclusive deals and offers using cashback sites or make money by selling unwanted items on sites like eBay.

The University has a great JobShop advertising local part-time and holiday jobs and they can help you to apply for them.

Eating out every day can add up, so use the ingredients you have at home and bring your lunch to uni instead.

If you take the train a lot, get a 16-25 Railcard which can save you a third off rail fares.

Make lists of how much you spend and what you need to buy.

Keeping track can help you see how much you really spend.

If you’re concerned about your finances, the University's website has a nifty student budget calculator. You can input how much money you’ll receive and earn, and how much you’ll be spending. Visit hud.ac/budget-calculator hud.ac/student-life

Hidden gems on campus Written by Lauren.

The campus at Huddersfield looks so big when you first come to look around, and it’s full of hidden gems. Here's my round up of some of the best kept secrets on campus so make sure you check them out when you come for an Open Day or after you start your course.

The recording studios

If you’re a singer, musician or a producer, the recording studios are perfect for our Music Technology students. Based in the Creative Arts Building and Technology Building, they include a state-of-the-art 24 i/o Pro Tools HD recording studio with views into Phipps Hall – one of many performance and rehearsal spaces on campus.

The fashion studio For budding fashion designers, the fashion studio is filled with mannequins, sewing and processing machines and workspace galore. You can book time to work on projects, draft ideas and take advantage of as much practical time as you need.

Canalside Studios

The crime scene facilities Yes, you’re definitely reading this right! For all of you, ahem, lucky people studying forensics, the University has specially designed rooms which can be arranged to simulate grisly murder scenes. Just as long as I don’t have to volunteer to be the victim! hud.ac/student-life

Our award-winning Canalside Studios are staffed by both undergraduate and research students from computer games courses at Huddersfield. The team pushes the boundaries of innovation and produces ground-breaking games for real clients, as well as entering – and winning – games design competitions such as Microsoft’s X48 event and the Game Republic Showcase.

70-71

The labs A world of white coats and goggles awaits students studying applied sciences, including pioneering research in our cell culture labs, food labs complete with cookers and blind tasting booths, and dedicated Pharmacology and Chemistry Labs.

Ever seen an exercise bike in a science lab? You will here!

On the third floor of the £17m Business School, you’ll find a mock court room and dedicated teaching space for our law students. It provides future lawyers with the chance to debate cases which can be recorded and played back to help you analyse your technique. Order in Court!

The law room

Formula Student

Fancy being the next Lewis Hamilton? Our engineering facilities are equipped with everything engineering students need including engine testing facilities such as wind tunnels and thermal imaging equipment. You could even build and test your very own racing car and compete in the Formula Student Competition to design, build and race cars against students from across Europe.

The dispensary and aseptic suite For pharmacy students, the University has its own dispensary to simulate the dispensing of medicines. We also have an aseptic suite which is identical to those found in hospitals and is used by students to prepare medicines in a sterile environment.

Shopping Written by Rebecca Haslam.

From clothes, to food to household essentials, you can find everything you need in Huddersfield no matter what your budget. Here are my top tips on places to shop whether you're watching the pennies or feeling flush.

Watching the pennies 3 Primark is the go-to place for clothes shopping and it's all under one huge roof. Getting kitted out for a night out won’t wipe you out here.

3 Pound shops have big name brands meaning you can stock up on your favourite toiletries as well as essential supplies and never have to worry about running out of toilet roll again!

3 Entertainment fans can check out CeX for cheap DVDs, games, phones and electronics.

3 The town has indoor and outdoor markets selling a variety of goods. So head down for a browse and grab a bargain.

3 You might need to kit out a kitchen when moving into student accommodation for the first time, and there's always something you'll forget. Wilko stocks everything – kettles, toasters, cutlery and crockery – at bargain prices.

’ Fair Freshersons of t rs e f of and vouchers ies freeb

Feeling flush 3 If you want to treat yourself there's plenty of choice in Huddersfield – House of Fraser, Topshop, Office, River Island, Accessorize and New Look. Don't forget to make use of student discounts where you can.

3 When it comes to food shopping, Huddersfield has all the major supermarkets: Sainsbury's, Tesco, Asda, Aldi, Lidl, Farmfoods, Morrisons and Fultons Foods. With offers on instore at all times, you're sure to find a bargain to fill your fridge and freezer.

What makes the Library special?

Written by Lauren.

It might not be at the top of your list when you’re making your decision about which university to choose, but let’s be honest – you’re probably going to spend a lot of time in the Library. Here are five reasons why our Library is pretty special and a great place to study.

Group study

Sssshhhh

Music

Competitive

With dedicated study pods and rooms that you can reserve, there’s always somewhere for you to meet up with friends to go over that tricky bit of theory.

There are also quiet rooms where you can really concentrate, spread your books out and work in peace.

Not only does the Library have ‘silent study’ and ‘quiet study’ areas, but if it is too noisy for any reason, simply text NOISE and the floor that you’re on to a special number and a warden will come to your assistance.

One of the exciting features that the Library has to offer is the British Music Collection.

It's such a huge feature of the University that it even has its own website! www.soundandmusic. org/thecollection

Bring out your competitive streak with Lemontree – the University’s very own game. Every time you use library facilities, you’re awarded points – you’ll be amazed at how addictive it gets!

Summon

Summon is our cool online Library resource – access it anywhere, anytime. Type in any keyword and it will list all the books, journals and peer reviews that mention your keyword and tell you if they’re available. Even better, some are available online and you can even access Summon at home.

Open Days at Huddersfield Written by Arif.

It’s e as an Op y to book o en Da n y on www. h ud. ac.u line k/ open-d ays

Deciding where you want to live and study for the next three years of your life is a big decision. An Open Day is a great way to find out all about university life and see if Huddersfield is the place for you. You'll get to meet the lecturers, take a look around campus and the facilities and speak to existing students to get their view. Bring your friends and family along too.

Questions to ask at an Open Day How is the course taught? Is it seminar-led or lectures and labs?

Is there an opportunity to gain work experience or go on a work placement during the course?

How many students will be on the same course?

How will I be assessed? Will a dissertation be required in my final year?

What are the facilities like in my department?

What sports clubs and societies are available to join? What are the sport and fitness facilities like?

I've put together important questions that we think you should ask when attending an Open Day at any university:

ld Huddersfie s e iv L t n e d Stu ntlives @hudstude c.uk / blogs.hud.a ts studen

hud.ac/student-life

What is the accommodation like?

What is the social life like in the town? What can I do at the weekends and on an evening?

What support services are offered once I start?

What financial support is available?

DON’T FORGET If you have any questions, you can get in touch with current students at the University via social media. They'll be happy to answer any questions about the University, town or life in Huddersfield.

The fashion and textiles industry offers a diverse range of opportunities from crafts, costume, design and manufacturing to the business of buying and marketing.

At Huddersfield, not only can you be involved in designing, developing and making exciting products, on some of our courses you can learn the business of fashion including marketing products internationally.

Our courses are centred around our fashion and textile workshops, where you’ll be inspired by experimentation and innovation. We’ll nurture your creativity and develop your knowledge with live industry-linked projects.

This will ensure you understand the role of the designer and equip you with the right skills to help you enter the industry successfully.

An innovative approach Our fashion and textile workshops are based in two locations on campus, the Technology Building and the Creative Arts Building. These are lively and innovative areas and house a number of specialist design and technology driven facilities including computerised ARM looms, a Sheima Seiki whole garment knitting machine, Computer Aided Design (CAD) embroidery, laser cutting, pattern cutting and high-end digital print facilities.

A highly skilled and experienced team of technical staff supports the wide range of resources in the specialisms of knitting, weaving, printing and dyeing, embroidery, costume and fashion design, pattern cutting and manufacture.

Types of study There are lots of study options when taking a degree at university. Some courses combine subjects whilst others include a placement year. Great if you like variety or fancy the challenge of real life work experience during your degree; it also means there’s something to suit everyone.

You can study with us as a full-time or part-time student, during the daytime and, for some courses, in the evening. We offer courses that are creative, vocational and professional which means that whatever industry you wish to work in when you’ve graduated, you can be confident that a degree from Huddersfield will help to get you to where you want to be.

The following examples explain the different types of degree courses available.

BA(Hons) or BSc(Hons) The Bachelor of Arts with Honours and Bachelor of Science with Honours are the most common types of degree. Whether you graduate with a BA(Hons) or a BSc(Hons) depends on the course you choose. You will also see qualifications such as BEd(Hons) for Education courses, LLB(Hons) for Law courses, BEng(Hons) for Engineering courses, BMus(Hons) for Music courses and so on. We also offer enhanced undergraduate degree courses in some subjects. These allow you to continue your studies to postgraduate level within one course, such as an MEng, MPharm and the Master of Law and Practice (MLP). The course titles on the following subject area pages will indicate which type of degree you’ll be awarded on successful completion of the course.

Combined Honours This is a degree that allows you to study two or more subjects up to Honours level.

You may follow a joint course and study two subjects with equal weight. A major/minor route similarly involves two subjects, but you will spend more time on one than the other.

Alternatively, you may take a broader route and study three or more subjects. You can graduate with a BA(Hons) or a BSc(Hons), depending on the subjects studied. See page 106-107 for more details. ■

“There is a variety of different teaching methods within tutorials, seminars and lectures. All the tutors have their own unique teaching style making learning exciting and interesting. I chose to do a placement during my third year as I thought it would be a good opportunity to put some of the theory I had learnt into practice. I was very glad I decided to do it and have gained an invaluable amount of experience and developed my skills massively.”

Rebecca Gledhill, Accountancy and Finance BA(Hons) To hear what Rebecca has to say about her course visit hud.ac/profiles

What’s it about?

From large corporate companies to public and voluntary sector organisations, demand for qualified finance professionals has never been greater. An interest in how money helps organisations grow and a head for figures is a good start.

There is a wide variety of specialist areas available. From corporate finance and auditing to information systems and taxation – enough to stimulate the most demanding of brain cells. You can even become a generalist offering financial advice to international clients to increase the value of their assets. Whoever said accountancy and finance professionals were boring never met a Huddersfield graduate.

An innovative approach Intellectually demanding subjects require an inspirational place in which to study. Just as well then that our Business School has a £17m state-of-the-art home which provides a progressive and social place in which to learn and develop.

It’s one of our most environmentally friendly buildings which features modern, spacious classrooms as well as excellent IT facilities including a number of computer labs that you can access anytime. The icing on the cake is ‘The Street’ – a wide, glazed social space that gently curves and provides soft seating, tables, WiFi, vending machines and a coffee shop. Perfect for group work discussion or just relaxing with friends over a coffee after a hard day’s financial analysis.

Real-world experience It helps knowing the movers and shakers in any profession, and accountancy and finance are no exception. Our ‘Partners in Accountancy’ scheme links our students

i

with major accountancy firms such as KPMG, PwC, Baker Tilly, BDO Stoy Hayward, Grant Thornton, Wheawill and Sudworth, Kirk Newsholme, Revell Ward and Simpson Wood. These companies are on hand to offer careers advice and mentoring and provide a great insight into the profession via direct contact with students in seminars.

Getting paid while learning about the dynamics of the business environment makes complete sense.

The opportunity of a year’s paid placement will certainly increase your employability factor, provide some invaluable real-life experience and hopefully lead to bigger things.

Giving you another headstart in your career, some of our courses provide professional exemptions for the main accountancy bodies, including the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and the Association of International Accountants (AIA).

Be in demand Our accountancy and finance graduates have gone on to work for companies such as PwC, Lloyds Banking Group, GE Capital, KPMG, General Electric, Bon Marche Ltd, Blairs Erdersby, David R Jones and Co, Marshalls PLC, Symingtons Ltd and Santander.

Inspiring graduates Michael Withey, graduated Accountancy Studies BA(Hons) 1990, now Associate Partner at IBM.

"It's a really practical course. You are given a project brief as though it's a real architecture project, which you see through to a finished outcome.

It’s more relevant to working in practice."

Jack Petch, Architecture (International) (RIBA Part 1) BA(Hons) To hear what Jack has to say about his course visit hud.ac/profiles

What’s it about?

The architecture and built environment courses at Huddersfield focus on innovative solutions to global challenges. They provide the context for the future of architectural design and construction, with an emphasis on real-world applications to provide high quality spaces and buildings that are appropriate to specific places and sensitive to the requirements of the user.

We'll help you to develop your understanding of technology and sustainability in building design and construction. We also aim to raise your awareness of the wider environmental, social and political concerns that contribute to the process of creating great places around the world.

We’re currently the only university in the UK to offer an international strand to the Architecture degree, providing the opportunity to travel and study overseas to obtain Architecture (International) BA(Hons). Our Architecture/Architecture (International) BA(Hons) courses are validated by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and prescribed by the Architects Registration Board (ARB). Successful completion of the course provides exemption from the Part 1 professional RIBA examinations.

Our Construction Project Management BSc(Hons) and Surveying BSc(Hons) courses have been developed in line with the requirements of professional bodies, such as the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB).

An innovative approach Creating inspiring places requires special surroundings.

Queen Street Studios provides the latest 3D technologies including laser cutters with metal-cutting capabilities, 3D visualisation and dedicated high performance CAD facilities.

3D high definition printing and single-job multi-material output allows for the detailed creation of physical 3D models and prototypes. In addition, there are informal study areas, a dedicated departmental library, studio spaces and facilities for large format printing, scanning and digital reprographics.

i

Real-world experience We continually develop and strengthen our relationships and links with industry, commerce and the community both in the UK and overseas. Our courses currently have links with companies such as AEDAS in Leeds, Cox Architects in Australia, the Harris Partnership in Manchester, A+DP Architects in Huddersfield and Arup Associates in Beijing, China. As part of the Architecture (International) BA(Hons) you’ll have the opportunity to visit a non-European country to develop a comprehensive urban design proposal and individual building designs. Previous locations have included China, India, Malaysia, the Middle East and Vietnam.

Be in demand To qualify as an architect, following successful completion of Architecture/Architecture (International) BA(Hons), you’ll need to undertake a further two years’ study plus periods in professional practice, leading to a Master of Architecture and Postgraduate Certificate of Professional Practice and Management in Architecture (Parts 2 and 3 of the professionally validated route). Alternatively, you could go on to have a career in construction management, interior and exhibition design, arts management or journalism, architectural technology, project management or computer visualisation.

The Construction Project Management BSc(Hons) course will help you to develop the necessary skills to lead design and construction teams, effectively managing projects, enabling you to adopt innovative approaches such as Lean Construction and Building Information Modelling. The Surveying BSc(Hons) course will help to equip you with the competences to be a professional surveyor, such as a quantity surveyor or building surveyor.

On our business management courses you’ll learn these skills as well as improve your decision-making, communication and negotiation skills.

You'll also learn how to organise, have a positive attitude, think creatively and work as a team member. Plus you’ll get a working knowledge of legal, ethical, financial, social and economic factors and how they apply to business. Most importantly you'll learn how to address the problems faced on a regular basis by decision makers within business. Once you have these abilities they’re infinitely transferable from large multinationals to smaller private sector organisations, ensuring you’ll always be in demand.

The combination of work experience, professional links and excellent teaching contributed to our superb National Student Survey results – achieving 100% in overall student satisfaction for Business Management in 2014.

An innovative approach Business management helps you to develop the knowledge and understanding needed to be a successful leader of the future. You'll also be able to put your business skills to the test by working on live projects with our industry partners. This requires an inspirational place in which to study. Just as well then that our Business School has a £17m home.

This state-of-the-art facility provides a progressive and social place in which to learn and develop. It’s one of our most environmentally friendly buildings and features modern, spacious classrooms. The icing on the cake is ‘The Street’ – a wide, glazed social space that gently curves and provides soft seating, tables, WiFi, vending machines and a coffee shop.

Perfect for negotiating your next big deal or just relaxing with friends over a coffee after a hard day’s studies.

“I would highly recommend the Business Studies course to anyone. It is such a broad subject that you can choose modules to suit your own interests and career choices. I had the opportunity to complete an internship at L’Oreal which has enabled me to further my knowledge in a real life working environment. I have developed so many transferable skills and been involved in a variety of working scenarios and feel that this is an extremely important aspect of my degree.”

Rachael Fish, Business Studies BA(Hons) To hear what Rachael has to say about her course visit hud.ac/profiles

What’s it about?

The world of business and commerce is fast paced and highly competitive so you’ll need to have your wits about you. Good job then that our courses will equip you with the knowledge and skills modern business requires and that all-important employability factor.

You’ll understand how businesses develop successful strategies through critical thinking, analysis and evaluative techniques. You'll also learn creative problem-solving approaches and develop sound, logical decision-making skills, as well as developing effective and persuasive written and oral communication skills. Important stuff if you’re to become a captain of industry. On some courses your second year includes a management training event to build analytical skills and learn about teamwork.

There’s never been more attention paid to how economics affects the world around us and our economics courses provide you with an in-depth knowledge of how markets, households and firms facilitate the allocation, distribution and utilisation of scarce resources in society. You’ll explore macroeconomic factors and the importance of economywide developments such as income, inflation, exchange rates and consumption. Microeconomic perspectives will introduce you to sector-specific practices such as competition, regulation and intervention.

An innovative approach Did we mention that our Business School has a £17m home?

It’s proof of our commitment to learning and ensuring that our students have an inspiring and sociable place in which to study. It’s also one of our most environmentally friendly buildings on campus, featuring modern and well appointed classrooms and IT facilities that are second to none, including computer labs that you can access anytime.

The main focal point is ‘The Street’. This wide, gently curving social space with its fully glazed walls and soft seating is perfect for browsing the internet over a coffee or just socialising after a hard day’s team building.

Real-world experience Former TV 'Dragon' and serial entrepreneur Theo Paphitis provides support for the Enterprise Development BA(Hons) degree. Having helped to develop and launch the course he provides students with practical advice and support in setting up their own businesses through ‘masterclasses’. Just don’t say “I’m out”.

On all our ‘sandwich’ courses, the opportunity for a year on paid work placement with roles within a range of national and even international companies gives you an insight into the dynamics of the business environment and improves your employability through real-life experience.

It’s worth noting that the Business School works closely with the Chartered Institute of Marketing and is a corporate member of the Association of Project Management and the Strategic Planning Society. We also have links with a number of professional bodies in the financial services sector and insurance industry.

“The tutors on my course have all worked in industry, they all have up-to-date knowledge and there’s always someone with an answer to your question.

I’m currently on placement with the Events Management and Volunteering Agency (EMVA) which is a student-led events management company. I would definitely recommend my course, you’re fully prepared to go out into industry once you graduate.”

Charlotte Todd, Events Management BA(Hons) To hear what Charlotte has to say about her course visit hud.ac/profile

What’s it about?

There are now more than one billion international tourist arrivals each year across the world and even more people taking domestic holidays or travelling for business. These tourists require the services of travel and accommodation operators as well as visitor attractions, entertainment and events organisers at the destination. If you fancy working in an ever changing sector then Travel and Tourism Management might be the right course for you.

Hospitality management is a massive, expanding global industry which involves the provision of accommodation, food and a wide range of personal and business services. In the UK, the hospitality sector employs over 10% of the workforce and is the fourth largest industry. In addition, some of the country’s largest employers are hospitality businesses, such as Intercontinental Hotels, Marriott and Whitbread.

The UK hosts some of the world’s most iconic and prestigious events including Glastonbury, the Notting Hill Carnival, Chelsea Flower Show and Henley Regatta. The legacy of London 2012 and Glasgow 2014 is clearly visible in the increase in major sporting events hosted in the UK, including the Rugby World Cup 2015 and UCI Track Cycling World Championships 2016.

Most events managers’ days are never the same. They manage a diverse range of tasks, and coordinate suppliers and resources; they are creative and also methodical about the detail. If this challenge interests you then Events Management is the course and future career for you.

An innovative approach You’ll have access to specialist software packages that are used by international hospitality business and event management companies. As well as learning about the technical side of event management, such as lighting, staging, production and licensing, you can gain practical hands-on experience through our Events Management and Volunteering Association (EMVA) at regional and national events.

i

Real-world experience As you can imagine we’ve established a large number of industry contacts, in the UK and abroad, which means you can engage with potential employers on a regular basis. This includes the opportunity to take a one year salaried placement in a company.

Previous students have undertaken placements in the UK or overseas destinations, such as the USA, Hong Kong and Spain.

Our industry contacts contribute to course content, ensuring that this meets the needs of employers. There’s a wide range of guest lectures and we organise site visits to enhance the potential for work placements and graduate employment opportunities. As a result, many graduates secure good management positions on completion of their courses. Industry links are further strengthened through our membership of professional bodies such as the Institute of Hospitality, Meeting Professionals International and The Association of Stage Pyrotechnics to name a few.

Be in demand The courses in events, hospitality and travel and tourism equip you with the knowledge and skills required for an exciting and challenging career. Graduates can find themselves working in general management; event and conference management positions in hotels, restaurants and leisure businesses; or worldwide tour operators, airlines and visitor attractions.

“The Combined Honours course has allowed me to study multiple subjects and indulge my love of language. I chose to combine Linguistics with German, French and Professional English. This gives me a good balance of theory, which is delivered in lectures and seminars, and practice which includes reading, writing, speaking and listening, often in group activities."

Kristina Romule, Combined Honours BA(Hons) To hear what Kristina has to say about her course visit hud.ac/profiles

What’s it about?

If you’re looking for a course which offers you the flexibility to combine your academic achievements and interests with your plans for your future career, then the Combined Honours course may be the perfect degree for you. As a high achiever in more than one subject you will be able to demonstrate your abilities and breadth of knowledge as well as focus on your individual career aspirations.

Studying more than one discipline opens up possibilities that aren’t available in single-Honours courses.

While you study each discipline at the same depth as single-Honours students – you’re in the same classes as them after all – studying it alongside another subject allows you to consider and understand issues in a much broader context. As a result, discovering and pursuing the connections between your subjects allows you to see things from a much wider perspective.

An innovative approach We pride ourselves on our innovative approaches to teaching and learning. Depending on which subjects you take, you might be assessed on the exhibition you produce for a local museum, the podcast you create, the pitch you make for a TV documentary, or you may be involved in performances in music and drama. This diversity contributes to an interesting and innovative learning experience.

Our teaching and library facilities are continually being updated with cutting edge technology to support your learning. You’ll be taught in flexible learning rooms equipped with interactive smart boards, all-round ceiling projection and audio-visual cabinets with cd/dvd/vhs playback and pc and laptop connections.

i

In the well-stocked library you'll have 24-hour access to IT facilities and subject specialists will be on hand to help you find and use source materials.

Real-world experience The Combined Honours course offers the opportunity to gain real-world experience through our work placement modules. Our students have worked at a range of interesting places, including the Royal Armouries Museum, DIG York Archaeological Trust, Oxfam, the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, BBC Television and Radio, and ITV. Some find placements with theatre companies such as Slung Low, Invisible Thread or IOU, which regularly visit and work with our students. Business placements have included work with Thornton and Ross, the largest independent pharmaceutical manufacturer in the UK, Yorkshire Water and Cummins, an international company serving customers in approximately 190 countries. Placements are also available with a marketing and finance focus.

Be in demand The diversity of this course means that the potential career options for graduates are many and varied. Depending on the modules you choose to study, you may wish to pursue a career in areas such as business, finance, the arts, education, the media or the public sector – or perhaps progress to Master’s and/or PhD study to intensify your subject focus.

Whatever your career aspirations, on graduation from this course you'll have the necessary skills, experience and breadth of knowledge to stand out from the crowd and realise your career ambitions.

Health is a vast subject with a wide variety of specialist areas – it’s not just about making people better, but also about helping them to stay healthy in the first place.

Our courses will provide you with the opportunities to reach your full potential. You’ll have access to state-of-the-art simulation equipment and purpose built environments.

You’ll also get to work with real people and communities with real health related issues. It’s demanding but immensely rewarding and will help you bridge the gap between theory and the demands of a practical working environment.

An innovative approach Our advanced resources include specialised diagnosis and treatment facilities, an extensive movement analysis laboratory, as well as a Podiatry Clinic and clinical areas for physiotherapy. You’ll also have access to the biomechanics and physiology labs.

Our skills laboratories replicate areas such as rooms in patients’ homes, delivery suites, operating theatres and critical care wards. You’ll be introduced to our virtual patients – ‘Sim Man’ and ‘Sim Baby’ – who simulate healthcare situations and respond to your decision-making.

Plus, you'll access a virtual learning environment to help you develop the decision-making skills needed to work confidently and effectively in a busy healthcare setting.

Most of our staff have recent practice experience, and service users and carers are also involved in our teaching.

This means you are taught by people who understand what it’s like to do the job, have up-to-date knowledge and can demonstrate the latest techniques and procedures.

Real-world experience Nothing can really replicate the adrenalin, pace and decision-making of the real-world. That's why we currently work with NHS Trusts and other organisations including community development units, schools and health

i

promotion teams to ensure you gain suitable experience during your course. You may also find yourself in a private home helping a client or their family tackle the challenges of life with a physical, mental or learning disability or in the voluntary sector advising people about health, housing or specialist services.

Be in demand Our degrees are currently recognised by the relevant regulatory and professional bodies, so depending on the course you study you may be eligible to apply for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) or the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), and to join the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists, the College of Occupational Therapists, the College of Operating Department Practitioners or the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists. Also on successful graduation from Health and Community Development BSc(Hons) you can currently become a recognised community development worker by the Endorsement and Quality Standards Board for Community Development Learning (ESB).

There are many job opportunities in the wider field of health and wellbeing, working in schools, dealing with substance misuse, community development, housing or health promotion. There’s also a wide range of opportunities to work in NHS trusts, clinics, care homes, private companies or charities and other ‘not for profit’ organisations, or you can set up your own business. Exciting opportunities also exist abroad in countries such as the USA and Australia.

Inspiring graduates Laura Kirk, graduated Podiatry BSc(Hons) 2014, now Head of North Yorkshire Podiatry Services, Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust.

Emma Sanford, Sport and Exercise Sciences To hear what Emma has to say about her course visit hud.ac/profiles

What’s it about?

Sport and exercise sciences is a rapidly growing field within the UK, with future career opportunities in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors. Our courses combine a mixture of physiology, psychology, biomechanics and nutrition to explore health, wellbeing, fitness conditioning, athletic performance and participation in exercise and physical activity. You’ll benefit from the knowledge of an experienced team, as well as working with some of the very latest technology.

In the first year, all three of our courses comprise the same modules. This gives you a solid grounding in the principles of sport, nutrition and exercise. At the end of your first year the three courses split and take separate paths. At this point there will be an opportunity for you to reassess your strengths and career aspirations, with the possibility of continuing into the second year on one of the other two courses.

An innovative approach Our biomechanics and physiology labs feature state-of-theart testing equipment which is used to assess the health and fitness of individuals ranging from patients recovering from injury to elite athletes. This equipment is invaluable in teaching, research and the testing of clients.

Equipment currently in the labs includes: the 3D motion analysis system, used for capturing and analysing high speed movements; the Bod POD, used for measuring body composition; the Kistler force plates, used to measure pressure, balance and gait; the Velotron – a static road bike attached to a computer displaying speed, power and heart rate; and the Metamax cardiopulmonary stress test system, used for assessing fitness levels and monitoring physiological responses.

Our nutrition and food labs provide the opportunity to analyse the nutrient content of various foods, develop new foods, and prepare meals to meet a range of nutritional needs for athletes.

i

Real-world experience An essential part of any degree is learning the theory, but here at Huddersfield we help you to stand out from the crowd by ensuring you also gain hands-on practical experience.

Our team has formed links with a variety of organisations, schools, professional sports clubs and charities to provide a range of opportunities for students. These include access to placements (which you’ll undertake in your second year), volunteering opportunities, fitness testing and coaching awards.

Students have previously undertaken placements in a range of organisations including professional sports teams (such as Huddersfield Giants Rugby League Football Club), leisure centres, community based sports projects, exercise referral schemes, and physical education departments at local schools and colleges.

Be in demand The opportunity to gain an extra, industry-recognised qualification could help to develop your future job prospects.

Our courses are all endorsed by SkillsActive (the Sector Skills Council for sport and exercise), meaning that we can offer you additional industry recognised qualifications within your degree. This could allow you entry onto the Register of Exercise Professionals, demonstrating your knowledge, skills and competence to potential employers and the general public.

Recent graduates have gone on to secure employment in organisations such as the NHS and professional sports clubs, whilst other graduates have started their own businesses as personal trainers or fitness instructors.

“Our lectures, seminars and practical sessions are always thought-provoking – very often using hands-on methods of teaching. The first year provided a great foundation for the whole course – it was all about how ideas shape history.

I wouldn’t be half the historian that I am now if I hadn’t come to Huddersfield.”

Adam West, History BA(Hons) To hear what Adam has to say about his course visit hud.ac/profiles

What’s it about?

The great thing about this subject area is the flexibility of the courses. You'll be taught by academics who have achieved national and international recognition for their work in specialist areas. In the 2014 National Student Survey (NSS), our score for student satisfaction from our History students was 92%.

Whichever path you choose to take, your studies will have a practical focus covering topics ranging from the Anglo-Saxons to the Punks in the 1970s, and from Britain through modern Europe to India and the USA. An innovative approach Our teaching methods are innovative, encouraging you to be creative in your thinking and analysis. You might be assessed on the exhibition you produce for a local museum, the podcast you create or the pitch you make for a TV documentary. All our History courses also offer you the opportunity of a work placement in your second year.

Our teaching and library facilities are continually being updated with cutting edge technology to support your learning. You’ll be taught in flexible learning rooms equipped with interactive smart boards, all-round ceiling projection and audio-visual cabinets with cd/dvd playback and pc and laptop connections.

In the University Library you'll find a wide collection of source materials and the newly opened Heritage Quay gives you access to one of the most technologically advanced archive centres in the UK. Real-world experience The second year Work Placement module is a unique feature of our History courses. You have the chance to gain valuable work experience for six weeks in a variety of environments. Some of our students have benefitted from real-world experience working at the Royal Armouries Museum, The British Museum, with local MPs, in archives

i

and as teaching assistants in schools or colleges.

In your third year, rather than a dissertation, you’ll have the opportunity to work on a year long exhibition project with an external client. Our students have worked at the National Coal Mining Museum and the Thackray Medical Museum, and have created a website to celebrate the bicentenary of the Luddite Uprising, leading the British Library to add this to their web archive.

Previous students have also had the opportunity to learn about heritage management and interpretation, working in a unique collaboration with the National Trust and English Heritage at Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire.

You could also consider studying abroad as part of the Erasmus+ programme. You can spend a term at one of our partner universities in France or the USA where you join in classes – all taught in English – and receive credits towards your degree at the same time. We’d also encourage you to study another language to enhance your experience.

Be in demand Studying History will provide you with a range of transferable skills and the all-important employability factor. It is a well-respected subject area which teaches research and analytical skills with the ability to communicate orally and in writing, something which all employers are looking for.

Our graduates have gone on to work in roles such as teachers, librarians, curators, community and social services and research.

Inspiring graduates Sarah Munks, graduated History BA(Hons) 1999, now Liaison Librarian at Leeds Trinity University.

What’s it about?

Whether your musical interests are practical or academic, classical or popular, low-tech or high-tech, there is a course at Huddersfield that will suit you.

Studying music will not only give you a range of skills that can prepare you for a variety of careers, it will also give you deep critical insights into how music ‘works’, how it has played a crucial role in people’s lives in the past and present, and how it will continue to do so in the future.

What’s it about?

How we create music is constantly evolving and developments in new technology and production techniques give birth to new sounds and new kinds of music every day. This creates a constant demand for people to work on the next generation of music and audio technology.

“I’m in my final year and during my time here I’ve found the lecturers to be approachable, experts in their fields and from different areas of pharmacy such as community and hospital. This varied staff support, along with their feedback, has really helped me to consider which areas of pharmacy I’d like to work in. I’d recommend this course to anyone interested in being a pharmacist as I’ve had the best time of my life here.”

Jenni Lord, Pharmacy MPharm To hear what Jenni has to say about her course visit hud.ac/profiles

What’s it about?

Many people think pharmacy is about dispensing prescribed medicines. However, this is a vast area of study covering everything from aspects of chemistry to human biology, and the study of how drugs affect the body (pharmacology) and how they are used to combat disease.

In simple terms, it's the link between health sciences and chemical sciences.

You’ll also study the basis of disease and the use of drugs to treat disease (therapeutics). Most importantly, you’ll learn how to undertake the role of the pharmacist and ensure that patients benefit from their medicines.

Pharmacists are highly qualified, trained and skilled healthcare professionals and the Pharmacy MPharm degree is the only qualification in the UK that can be used to register and practise as a pharmacist.

If you have insufficient entry requirements, successful completion of the Science Extended Degree may allow you progression onto the Pharmacy MPharm. Progression is dependent on meeting stringent performance levels on the Science Extended Degree, plus passing an internal interview.

An innovative approach Our new pharmacy practice suite includes a dispensary, aseptic unit and pharmacy study area. In the dispensary, which is equipped with state of the art computers running ‘real’ dispensing software, you'll come dressed to work as a pharmacist and gain experience of dealing with patients, problems and prescriptions. In the aseptic unit you’ll learn how to prepare sterile, individual medicines and special preparations for seriously ill patients, including chemotherapy and intravenous additives. You'll also benefit from a thorough theoretical grounding across the pharmaceutical sciences, to underpin your practical learning and experience.

i

Real-world experience Our MPharm degree is accredited by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), which is common to all pharmacy degrees delivered in the UK. It’s important to note that an MPharm qualification doesn’t guarantee registration as a pharmacist but it does allow you to continue to the next stage which is the pre-registration year.

We've worked hard to secure the support of many pharmacists locally, who are able to offer placements in all four years of your course. These include placements in community and hospital-based pharmacies, and with other healthcare professions including nursing, extended hours services and prescribers.

You could also take part in our transatlantic exchange programme. This offers the opportunity for MPharm students to trade places with students from Wilkes College of Pharmacy in Pennsylvania, to experience student life and placements in hospital and community pharmacies in the US. These placements allow you to develop relationships with employers and gain real-world experience, which should help to increase your employability.

Be in demand There's a variety of career prospects for Pharmacy MPharm graduates including practice in the community and hospital pharmacies. However, on completion of your MPharm degree, you'll be required to undertake a pre-registration year prior to registering as a pharmacist.

Our team at Huddersfield will support you in applying for pre-registration positions and can also provide advice on alternative options.

Inspiring graduates Charlotte Foster, graduated MPharm 2014, now Pre-registration Pharmacist at Boots UK.
