Let’s start with ‘Why Huddersfield?’

You’re probably looking at various universities, trying to weigh up what is good about this one?

What’s better about that one? Where’s the best location? Who’s got the best facilities?

There’s lots to think about, so we’ve created this handy section which gives you some quick answers to the question ‘Why Huddersfield?’.

From teaching excellence to student experience, work placements to graduate employment; we could go on and on. But we know your time is precious, so see this as our greatest hits.

We’re recognised as a centre of teaching excellence. Here are our top reasons why.

• W e are joint-first in the UK for the proportion of professionallyqualified teaching staff and were the inaugural university to achieve recognition of this.* 94% of our academic staff hold an appropriate teaching qualification.

• I n 2017, we won the first annual Global Teaching Excellence Award, recognising our commitment to world-class teaching and success in developing students as independent learners and critical thinkers. The awards are organised by the Higher Education Academy and entries were received from five continents.

• We’re second in the country for National Teaching Fellowships, winning a total of 18 since 2008.

Think of them like the teaching Oscars – they rate the UK’s best lecturers. It’s part of our drive for teaching excellence, which helps you achieve great things too.

• W e were the first and are the only university in the UK where 100% of permanent teaching staff** are Fellows of the Higher Education Academy. So you’ll learn from some of the best, helping you be the best.

• A ll our permanent teaching staff*** have, or are completing, doctorates.

This expertise, together with our teaching credentials, means that students here learn from knowledgeable and well-qualified teachers and academics who are at the forefront of their subject area.

• The University of Huddersfield achieved a Gold Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework (TEF) award in June 2017. This award expired in June 2021 and the scheme is currently being revised. We look forward to being reassessed when the awards are re-opened in 2023. The award recognised that the University of Huddersfield delivers consistently outstanding teaching, learning and outcomes for its students. It is of the highest quality found in the UK.

What better way to demonstrate first class teaching than by speaking to one of our award-winning academics and their students?

Dr Todd Borlik is a Reader in English Literature. He’s from Indianapolis, USA. We asked Todd what he loves most about teaching in the UK and at the University of Huddersfield: “The Yorkshire countryside is so striking and atmospheric and I was blown away by the stunning architecture. The University is a diverse and vibrant community and the teaching staff are truly dedicated to their students.”

“The teaching staff at Huddersfield are truly dedicated to their students” How does teaching in the UK differ from your time at the University of Washington and Bloomsburg University?

What makes a great teacher?

“Perhaps the most important thing a teacher can do is to radiate conviction in the significance of the subject. I wear my enthusiasm for Shakespeare on my sleeve.”

One of Todd’s students, Hanfaa Maqsood, English Literature BA(Hons), agrees. “Todd’s passion for his subject makes his lessons incredibly engaging. You can walk into Todd’s class believing you know a text and your opinions on it, but you’ll come out considering other viewpoints. Todd offers a multi-faceted approach to any text, so that a Shakespeare play written in the 17th Century holds a mirror to the contemporary world.”

“Under the UK system you only teach students who have self-selected the subject and you stay with the same cohort for a three-year span. I get to know the students at Huddersfield much better, and my teaching has improved as a result.”

Tell us about the Teaching and Learning prize awarded to you at Huddersfield.

“In response to conversations with BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) students, I rethought my approach to teaching Shakespeare and developed a module titled ‘Global Shakespeares’, which surveys the vibrant history of Shakespearean adaptation across cultures all over the world. The module was met with such enthusiasm from students that it won the ‘Diversity Prize for Curriculum Innovation’.

The award was indisputably one of the highlights of my teaching career.”

Placements are a key part of the courses at Huddersfield. We know how much employers value graduates who have real-world experience on their CV and that’s why we encourage our students to make the most of the opportunities available. Our students have worked with companies such as the BBC, UK Ministry of Justice, Pfizer, NHS and Bang & Olufsen to name but a few.

We asked Zubin, one of our Transport and Logistics Management students, about his placement at GTR (Govia Thameslink Railway).

“From a young age, I knew I’d always wanted to work in the transport industry and I was proud to play a part in helping two major rail projects take place successfully during my placement at GTR”.

I worked on the East Coast Upgrade Project and the construction of Brent Cross West Station.

For both projects, I was responsible for planning the rail replacement operation and updating the train service specification”.

“My course has helped me prepare for my long term career. All of my tutors have experience of working in the transport or logistics industries and my work placement has given me a great taste of life in the working world.”

Real-world experience.

We believe in preparing our students to impress employers when they go into the jobs market, so strong links with the working world are important.

“I’ve been impressed by how Huddersfield’s creative courses are in constant communication with industry to ensure that students develop a globally competitive skills base.”

David Sheldon-Hicks, Founder of Territory Studio

Our strong industry links might mean you’ll attend guest masterclasses from industry insiders or work on a live brief set by one of our industry partners.

They have regular visits from Territory Studio – a global production company – who are creative specialists in motion design, visual effects and digital experiences. Their film credits include Blade Runner 2049, The Martian, Ready Player One and the James Bond film, No Time to Die. Charlotte, a 2021 graduate from our Graphic Design and Animation BA(Hons) course really loved Territory Studio’s visits which offered her a unique insight into real world creative practice.

“I found the guest lectures from Territory Studio fascinating. They have a unique approach to design and animation. I loved the passion and dedication that came from these lectures, showing how a small dream can indeed become a reality.”

Charlotte goes on to say “I loved to hear people’s personal stories of how they’d got to where they were. These talks always gave me encouragement into what could be achieved.”

Our emphasis on ensuring our students are prepared for the world of work means that you’ll leave university with more than just a degree.

You’ll gain skills to get you noticed by employers and be supported in developing a stand-out CV. This is one of the reasons why we won the award for the best University Employability Strategy at the National Graduate Recruitment Awards 2021.

Software Engineering BSc(Hons) student John-Calvin Mafura has recently completed a year’s placement with Sony Electronics. He told us how he believes the skills, experience and professional qualifications he has acquired so far will help him to achieve his career goals.

96.8% of our undergraduate students go on to work and/or further study within fifteen months of graduating.*

“The Artificial Intelligence (AI) module on my course was great preparation for my year in industry. At uni, the computers also have software that’s used in the real world, like PyCharm, so I was already familiar with it when I started my placement.

“I worked on an AI project at Sony which was to track the performance of the new Sony Bravia TV. The project gave me experience of exciting new concepts like neural networks, object detection and multithreading/processing.

My placement year has inspired me to pursue a career in software engineering especially within the artificial intelligence/machine learning field.

“I’ve also gained professional qualifications alongside my degree and digital skills accreditations. And I’ve entered coding competitions and challenges such as Google Kick Start and Hacktoberfest.

“All this, combined with the teaching on my course, has made me a much more confident software engineer than when I started and will really help me to transition into life after uni.”

Equality, diversity and inclusion

Academic skills support

A continuing commitment to equality means that all students, and staff, should have equal opportunities to reach their full potential at Huddersfield. This is supported by a number of initiatives. Here are just a few:

Some people take to essays and coursework like ducks to water. Others need a little bit of help getting into the swim of things.

Everyone’s different. We understand that.

So if you ever need support from the experts, our Academic Skills Tutors are here to help.

But you don’t have to stop at the one tutorial.

We never forget that university is a big step up from A Levels, BTECs and other courses. To help you find your feet, we have a team of Academic Skills Tutors. They’re friendly, experienced and want to help you get the best results.

• How to include references in your essays • Constructing academic arguments • Advice on writing reports/essays/ dissertations • Finding and evaluating information • Presentation skills • Preparing for exams • Time management

Race equality The University has signed up to Advance HE’s Race Equality Charter which helps universities to improve the representation, progression and success of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) students and staff within Higher Education. As part of our commitment, we are developing initiatives and solutions to improve race equality across the University.

Gender equality We hold an Athena SWAN Bronze Award for gender equality. The Athena SWAN Charter is a framework used across the globe to support and transform gender equality within Higher Education and research. The Charter guides institutions on how to achieve their gender equality objectives in terms of representation, student progression, career development and the working environment.

You want to get the best grades you can, and that’s what we can help with. It may be support through a personalised tutorial to help you work on the skills needed to develop your work and build confidence.

LGBTQ+ The vibrant colours of the LGBTQ+ movement, proudly displayed at the entrance of the University, send out a permanent message of inclusiveness and tolerance – everyone is welcome at the University of Huddersfield. The transformed zebra crossing was unveiled during National Inclusion Week in September 2019.

Broaden My Bookshelf Broaden My Bookshelf is an initiative to increase the range of books in the Library written by authors from a BAME background, and also books by and about LGBT+ people. Students can suggest books to the Library, and there’s also a display of recommendations in the Library foyer.

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 – including potential employers. It also means you won’t go hungry.

We’ll aim to help you improve your language skills, whether you’re a complete beginner or you already know your way around the regular verbs. You can choose to study in the way that suits you:

A degree could make you attractive to an employer. But a degree with a modern language alongside it could make you a very hot prospect indeed. And just think of all those places you could be jetting off to.

As a minor subject Some courses include a language as a minor subject. This would take up about a third of your studies and appear on your degree certificate.

Take a look at the ‘modern language’ courses in our index page.

There’s a wide range of languages you can study, including: • • • • • • • • •

Arabic Chinese (Mandarin) French German Italian Japanese Spanish British Sign Language Professional English (for non-native speakers)

And it’s not all about the lingo. Our courses also give you an insight into the culture and customs of other countries.

As an option with your degree Some of our courses let you take a modern language as a module option. You’ll get one language class a week. You can see module options for each course at courses.hud.ac.uk As independent study You can go it alone and study a language in your own time, as part of structured language classes. It won’t be part of your degree, but you’ll still come away with new or improved language skills and a letter of completion. It may impress potential employers, and you’ll get to meet students from all sorts of other courses too.

If your course has a placement year, you could also consider a year abroad.

Languages and levels are subject to availability.

You can find out more at hud.ac/languages

International study If you’d like to study outside the UK that’s no problem. We’ve got great links with universities across Europe and, for certain courses, our links extend internationally too. The world is your oyster. Or huitre, or ostra…

A university degree is a great investment in the future. So let’s take a look at how much it’s going to cost, and the support available.

Fees and finance It costs £9,250 a year to study at Huddersfield.

That’s the same as most other universities.

If you take a placement year we charge £1,000* to pay for the cost of your tutor support and admin during the year.

You don’t pay upfront The Government could give you a Tuition Fee Loan to meet your study costs. So you won’t have to pay anything for tuition before you start.

You’ll only start paying the loan back once you’ve left university and have got a job where you’re earning over £27,295. Your employer will simply take the repayments from your salary in the same way they’ll take out any tax you have to pay.

Previous study Your eligibility for funding could be affected by previous undergraduate study. Your eligibility could also be affected by previous or current residence outside the EU. Contact Student Finance England to check your eligibility.

What you pay back each month This is based on what you earn, not how much you borrow. Your payments won’t start until you earn over £27,295 per year. The table below shows you how much you might pay:

Other loans and grants you could get Help with living costs If you’re eligible, you could get a Maintenance Loan to help with day-to-day costs. You could get up to £9,706* a year. The actual amount depends on your household income. You pay it back in the same way you pay back your Tuition Fee Loan.

If you have children Don’t let the cost of childcare put you off going to university. There are lots of ways you can get help with funding. To find out more about the Childcare Grant, call Student Finance England on 0300 100 0607, or visit gov.uk/childcare-grant

University of Huddersfield scholarships We’re here to help too. Every year we give out scholarships of £1,000 each. If your household income is less than £25,000 and you get at least 120 UCAS points, then a scholarship could be in the pipeline. You don’t even need to apply, we’ll check if you’re eligible when you enrol and then automatically pay the scholarship money into your bank account.

Meet Sadaf Eslamian Sadaf studied Media and Popular Culture BA(Hons) and is now the elected Community Officer with the Students’ Union.

How did you get involved in the Students Union?

I first got involved with the Students’ Union in my first year of university when I had an idea for a campaign. I worked closely with the Student Engagement Coordinator at the Union who helped me set up an exhibition raising awareness around sexual assault and violence towards women. I got involved with the liberation networks and was eager to educate myself further on different topics.

I joined the BAME Ambassadors and Women’s networks and through that I was elected as the Women’s NUS delegate. This was an amazing opportunity as I had the chance to propose free sanitary products for students to tackle period poverty in the UK. I also got involved in the Women in Leadership programme where I found the confidence to run in the Officer elections.

1. Huddersfield Pride

What kind of projects are you involved with in your role?

The Community Officer works on many projects throughout the year and sits on School board meetings along with University-level meetings.

However, some of the key projects I am working on this year are town safety, Hall Ambassadors, and sustainability. All of these allow us as a union to ensure our students feel safe and settled whether it be out in the town, living in halls or being on campus.

How do you feel this experience is helping you develop for life after university?

The connections and experience I have made whilst working in my role are something money can’t buy. I have not only widened my knowledge on how an organisation and business is run but learnt life skills which will help me thrive in future job roles. Confidence was something I always struggled with when I was a student but now that I have become an officer I have stood in rooms of hundreds of students, staff and parents to deliver talks and information. That itself has helped me develop my own skills for life after university.

Describe the Students’ Union in three words.

What’s the best thing about working Empowering – Supportive – Inclusive with the Students’ Union?

I love being a part of an organisation that makes long lasting change and has a huge influence on the governance of the University. The HSU family are an amazing group of individuals who are all unique in their own ways. For the first time in my life, I have worked for an organisation where they care about your mental health and are understanding of your circumstances instead of using it against you. The best part of my job is being able to create change for students where I would have liked to see change when I was studying at the University.

Sports Clubs and Varsity

Societies

The Students’ Union is home to a mix of around 30 sports clubs from recreational to competitive and everything in between. Whatever level you’re looking for, we’re sure you’ll find the perfect club for you.

Whether you already know what you want to get involved with at university or want to try something brand new, we have plenty of societies for you to choose from – anything from Latin dance to Astrology and from photography to combat. Interested in 3D printing? Our award-winning 3D Printing Society is open to everyone! Or perhaps you’re an LGBTQ+ student looking to find a community at Huddersfield?

Then look no further: our LGBTQ+ Society holds awesome events and socials, and you can also get involved in campaigning and activism.

The majority of our sports clubs participate in university, national and regional leagues under the recognised banner of BUCS – British University & College Sport.

Our sports clubs range from those you might expect, like football and netball, to some you might not, like archery and frisbee! Our Ultimate Frisbee Club is known for being very active on campus, particularly during its ‘Days of Throws’ fundraising event when the team aims to keep a frisbee moving for five solid days to raise money for its charity of the year.

Varsity is the Students’ Union’s biggest annual sports competition, when our teams face off against local rivals the University of Bradford.

More than 2,000 students go head-to-head in competitions on and off the pitch. Varsity has a rich 30-year history, and with an ever-increasing number of competitors and spectators, the stakes are always high!

Visit huddersfield.su/get-involved to find out more.

Academic societies We also have loads of academic societies on offer. When you enrol at the University you’ll be auto-enrolled into the academic societies that fit with your course. They’re a great way to make new friends whilst also supporting your studies and maximising your potential – you’ll all have one thing in common, and that’s the subject you’ve chosen to study.

EXPECTATIONS VS. REALITY Everyone is different when it comes to their expectations of university, however the most important thing to remember is that university is whatever you make it.

by Chloe

I was so nervous to start university because I didn’t know what to expect. I already knew what course I wanted to study, so I just needed to find a university to study at. I didn’t want to move too far away from home so I gave myself a geographical limit and searched for universities within that area. Huddersfield stood out to me because it’s a small town full of things to do and see, especially for students – there is so much to take advantage of! It’s close to Leeds and Manchester, which is great if you want to take trips with friends. I originally moved from a small town, so I felt more at ease and comfortable moving to another town, rather than a city.

Since moving, I’ve felt at home in Huddersfield, which has helped greatly when it comes to my confidence in and around the university. Meeting new people and making new friends has made Huddersfield feel more home-like.

The University of Huddersfield has so much to offer. There are societies for almost every academic course, as well as for sports, games, religion and various hobbies.

The lecturers at the University are so knowledgeable in their field and care about their students to ensure they are pushed and succeed in their degrees. To make the most of your university experience, I would recommend getting involved in absolutely everything you can. I became a student ambassador and founded a society only a month into my first year. University is an experience, and you get out whatever you put into it. It is fully worth it.

If there is one thing you take from reading this, let it be this – you may be nervous, excited, scared and worried about starting university, but you aren’t alone. So many new students are in the same boat and the University staff and Students’ Union make you feel welcome, and help with any worries you may have. Say yes to every opportunity you’re offered, because it’ll make your university experience one to remember. Have fun and enjoy yourself while you study!

Tips and things to remember

I’ve spent two years studying and now I’m on placement.

These last three years have been a great experience for me, and I am happy to share my top tips with you....

Balance your studying, workload, and personal life.

Starting university can be a different and exciting experience. You’ll meet new people, begin learning, attend events, and acquire new skills. It can be challenging at first to balance your time, but you’ll soon start to settle down.

by Giang Ha

Be open to opportunities and meeting new people.

It’s great to look back and see how much you’ve grown from when you started university.

Making connections and expanding your network will help you with your studies and your future career.

Pick up new hobbies and join a club or a society.

Extra-curricular activities help you release stress and boost your mood after a hectic schedule at university.

Stay well and maintain your health in good condition.

You can’t study well while you feel ill and tired. It is important that you take care of yourself and know when your mind and your body need to rest.

65

BUDGETING When you get your student loan for the first time you feel like you can buy anything you want! However, if you don’t learn to budget, your money soon disappears!

When I first came to university and got my first weekly allowance from the ‘bank of mum and dad’, it was so tempting to spend it all in one shopping trip. However, it has to last and you have to learn to manage your money.

Budgeting is hard and scary at first, but you soon learn how to be careful with your money. Here are a few tips that I have learnt: Savings account I currently have both a savings account and a current account and each week I try to put away £5-10 as you would be surprised how easily this builds up. You never know when you’ll need emergency cash for fixing your phone screen for example.

Food It’s important to save money on food or you can end up cooking lots of plain pasta by the end of term! I typically spend £30-40 on food shopping a week and £10 on drinks/food when at university.

Then, the rest of my weekly allowance can be extra for clothes, travel etc. I usually write a list of exactly what I need money for each week, including social things or new clothes. I plan every penny and do my best to stick to it.

I recommend taking your own lunch out with you. Buy a good Tupperware, or beeswax wraps for sandwiches (they’re great for reusing and keeping plastic pollution down) as preparing your own lunches can help keep the cost down.

Jobs Part-time jobs can definitely help with that bit of extra cash.

Just make sure you don’t do too many hours or it may cut into your study time.

The University has plenty of part-time jobs to fit in around your studies and most are on or around campus.

CAMPUS GEMS Campus crush

by Mollie

by Jinea

Inside Student Central, one of my favourite places to sit down for quiet study time is the library. I know what you may be thinking, why the library? With five floors filled with a wide variety of books, vast amounts of computers and even group project areas, the library here is a university treasure! Are you struggling with finding a specific book? No problem! Ask one of the friendly library staff members who will point you in the right direction.

Little campus gems Faith Centre One of the reasons why I chose to study here at the University of Huddersfield, is because of how diverse the campus is. The Faith Centre is a welcoming area for people of all religions (or none), with prayer rooms, a communal lounge, and even coffee and tea making facilities. The best part is that these services are available to all students and staff at no cost!

The Canal As a Biomedicine Student, I often need time away from all of the revision and the canal is the perfect peaceful place to have a nice quiet walk with friends. Beautiful scenery surround you and canal boats pass by every now and then.

Café Central Need a quick drink to have during your lecture? Then go down to Café Central where you can order coffee, hot chocolate, and teas – I would recommend the caramel macchiato (one of my personal favourites).

Café Central also caters to many different types of dietary needs, such as halal and vegan selections if you ever want a quick snack on the go.

ActiveHud Did you know that the University has its very own modern gym and a wide range of sports activities, such as basketball and archery?

The University takes the health and wellbeing of both students and staff members very seriously. The welcoming and fully trained staff in the Active Hud gym will always be happy to help with any fitness enquiries that you may have.

Favourite places to grab a cuppa and chill Pound bakery

Pound Bakery is one of the cheapest places to grab a coffee and a bite to eat. It’s the only discounted bakery in town and it’s conveniently located in the centre. It also has a wide range of savouries, and you can grab a cup of coffee or tea for £1!

Chaiiwala

From breakfast to lunch, everything is available at Chaiiwala.

They have a wide range of Pakistani breakfast options along with their famous tea. Besides this, they also have a huge variety of desserts and other mouth-watering snacks. They offer takeaway and delivery. If you are an international student and you miss the desi breakfast then this is the best spot.

by Hongzhang

Panini Shack

Panini Shack is one of my favourite places, with wide range of paninis and other mouth-watering food. If you are looking for halal savouries at a lower price, then you should visit the Panini Shack in Kingsgate.

Greggs

Kingsgate Shopping Centre Kingsgate is the closest shopping centre to the campus, it’s indoors and offers a number of shops and restaurants.

Being located next to the campus makes it convenient and accessible for students – it’s a great place to shop or grab something to eat when needed. My personal favourites in Kingsgate are Greggs and TK Maxx. The former is perfect for a quick lunch on a busy day, while the latter is a great place to shop without breaking the bank.

Greggs is famous and an English favourite. It’s liked by everyone because of its great tasting pasties, their cheese and onion pasty is a must-try! They make everything fresh and serve it warm. If you’re a cappuccino or latte lover then this is a great place for you as they offer a huge variety.

Queensgate Market

“Student discounts are everywhere, so make sure you take advantage of UNiDAYS and the TOTUM Card!”

68

Queensgate Market is a great place to explore as it has many local small businesses. From Monday to Saturday, this indoor market offers a vast range of goods and services. Spend just a few hours in Queensgate and you can leave with a new haircut, a manicure, a fabulous outfit for the weekend, a new mobile phone cover and of course, groceries. You can also have your keys cut, shoes re-soled, and buttons sewn on jackets, all whilst you relax over a coffee or enjoy a light lunch at one of the eight cafés and takeaways.

Byram Arcade Completed in 1881, the distinctive Byram Arcade is a unique shopping experience in the heart of Huddersfield’s town centre.

Home to a wealth of independent and artisan designers, retailers, and businesses, including fashion, bespoke jewellery, arts & crafts, mouth-watering food, and specialist equipment. I love to visit the arcade to discover the wide variety of shops that it offers.

CULTURAL THINGS IN HUDDERSFIELD Huddersfield Carnival

Colourful costumes, mouthwatering food and music that makes you want to move – Huddersfield Carnival is a sensory explosion! The highlight of summer – the Caribbean Carnival takes place in July and attracts thousands of people from across the country.

Attendees can enjoy the parade – or even take part if they’re feeling adventurous, grab some authentic Caribbean food and enjoy the stage performances before dancing the night away.

Look no further! Running throughout the winter festive period, this festival includes stalls throughout the town centre, a variety of events and everyone’s favourite part – a massive tipi in St George’s Square.

Top 5 bars and restaurants Bar Maroc A favourite amongst locals and students, this laid-back Moroccan inspired bar is bursting with atmosphere. Known for its handmade, stone-baked pizzas, extensive drinks menu and pretty rooftop terrace, visiting Bar Maroc is a must! They also have a venue where they often host open mics and live performances.

Revolution Commonly referred to as ‘Revs’, here you’ll get great cocktails, tasty food and delicious desserts. Although it’s relaxed during the day, at night, mainly on a Wednesday and Saturday, it comes alive – so get ready to soak up the lively atmosphere and hit the dance floor. They also have some great offers for students and society members – what’s not to love?

Warehouse Just minutes from the university campus, Warehouse is a great place to chill out at any time of the day. Between the sports showings, retro games and pool, huge food menu and cheap drinks – you’ll be entertained for hours!

Heavenly Desserts Got a sweet tooth? This is the perfect spot for you. Settle into your luxurious surroundings before choosing from an array of desserts and drinks. Whether you’re meeting up with friends or looking for somewhere to have a late-night date night, it’ll definitely hit the spot.

The Ephesus Restaurant Based near the train station, this locally owned restaurant offers a combination of traditional Turkish food and amazing customer service. Their lunch menu provides a bank account friendly option for those long breaks in-between lectures! It’s the perfect place to break bread with visiting loved ones, your new uni friends or to have a solo dinner.

LIVING IN STUDENT HALLS

LIVING IN A PRIVATE HOUSE

Make your room your own.

Bring something from home that will make your room scream ‘you’. It can be anything from cushions to fairylights, plants to your merch collection. University rooms can feel a little bare on their own, plus it’s a great conversation starter.

Keep your door open.

I recommend leaving your door open when you first move in. I didn’t do it in my first year as I felt shy but I wish I did. Buy a doorstop or use something heavy to prop your door open and use it as an invitation for your new flatmates to introduce themselves.

Keep an open mind.

Make an effort to get to know people you’re living with. Welcome Week is the perfect opportunity to go places together. Although, if you don’t immediately hit it off with your flatmates, don’t worry. You might click better with people on your course or in a society.

Exploring the area that the house is in Make sure you check out what area your house is located in; check out the surroundings and go exploring! I lived near Greenhead Park and often went for walks there. It can be a great way to discover new things in Huddersfield!

Viewing the property you want to live in My house mates and I viewed a ton of different houses before we found one that we were happiest with. It is definitely worth doing your research to find out which house is best suited for you! You might want to consider bedroom size, facilities near by and how close it is to the Uni. If you can start your house hunting as early as possible, that can give you some more time but don’t worry too much!

by Chloe It can be a daunting feeling moving away from home for the first time. You’re not alone, the majority of people you meet will feel the same – I know I did!

Here’s some tips as a starting point.

I moved into a private student house in my second year of university. This was definitely a big change for me compared to living in a student accommodation flat where you are surrounded by so many other students. For me, the extra space that I had in my student house was the biggest advantage, I also loved the freedom to decorate the house and really make it feel like my own. If you are looking for a student house, I would recommend:

Being aware of what is included in your rent Do some research to see whether your utility bills are included within your rent. Fortunately, mine were which saved me some hassle. This covered things like gas, electric and WiFi. Don’t worry if yours is not covered but you feel like that is the perfect student house for you! There are freely available tools you can use such as ‘Split the Bills’ which can help you organise how you can split the charges between your friends.

LIVING AT HOME Even though moving out would be nice, for the simple fact of having more independence, I’m very happy that I decided to stay at home for the first two years at uni. For starters, I didn’t need to worry about moving all my belongings from one place to another. It also meant that I didn’t need to stress about whether I would settle in my new place. In addition to all of that, it was nice and reassuring to have support from my family when I needed it, such as reminding me about deadlines for assignments. I was also fortunate enough that my parents allowed me to have a puppy during my first year of university, which really helped me keep grounded and calm.

by Mollie

It should also go without saying that I met new friends, who attend the same university, whilst commuting. This meant journeys to Huddersfield were always enjoyable and never dull.

Types of study Perhaps you want to mix it up, with a course that combines a couple of subjects.

And you probably want to make yourself as employable as possible by getting some work experience. Lots of our courses offer placement years, giving you the chance to get out in the real world and experience employment while you’re still studying.* Bachelor’s degree If you’re studying full-time, a normal Bachelor’s degree takes three years. Lots of our degrees also give you the chance to take a placement or ‘sandwich’ year to build up your work experience. That would mean that your course would usually take four years in total.

Once you’ve graduated you’ll be able to put some letters after your name: • • • • •

Bachelor of Arts – BA(Hons) Bachelor of Engineering – BEng(Hons) Bachelor of Laws – LLB(Hons) Bachelor of Music – BMus(Hons) Bachelor of Science – BSc(Hons)

Top-up If you’ve already got a Foundation degree or a qualification like an HND, then a top-up course gives you the chance to build on that and study for a full Honours level degree. It takes just a year full-time.

“My lecturers make the subject what it is. They are really approachable and genuinely want you to do your best.”

English Language and Linguistics

Bonjour!

Our department’s magazine, Babel, makes cutting-edge linguistic research accessible and has hundreds of subscribers around the world.

Our Modern Languages Programme allows you to study a modern language alongside your degree programme.

Are you fascinated by how language works and what people can do with it? Language is a uniquely human phenomenon with lots of intricate aspects to explore.

If you choose our Creative Writing route, you’ll develop your own writing techniques and skills, crafting your work for publication. Our courses with Politics, Sociology and Criminology allow you to examine how language is intimately connected with the formation and regulation of society, not to mention the ways in which language affects subcultures and those who live outside of society’s usual boundaries.

English Language and Linguistics degrees focus on language as a system and how humans use it in everyday life. From analysing conversation to examining child language acquisition, our courses offer a wide range of modules.

As a student with us, you will use state-of-the-art facilities like our forensic linguistics lab, our research and resource centre and our conference labs.

They’re all fully equipped with the tools needed for specialist linguistics work. You’ll also have the opportunity to get involved with our in-house popular linguistics magazine, Babel, too.

You can combine your studies in English Language or Linguistics with a number of other fields through our joint courses. Choosing the joint English Language and Literature course allows you to look deeper into the effects of language as used in poetry, novels, sagas and plays.

So we do all we can to get you out of the lecture theatre and into the thick of it.

We encourage you to get involved in campus politics too. From student-led debates through to the active Politics Society, you can get involved and get your voice heard.

Placement opportunities include working for MPs, non-governmental organisations, media outlets and educational institutions. If you’re up for the challenge, you’ll soon be living and breathing politics.

Important info and the legal bit This prospectus was prepared in the winter of 2021 for courses starting in September 2023 and is up to date as at the date of publication. Any subsequent changes to information will be published in the course information listings on our website courses.hud.ac.uk, and you should check this for the latest information before you apply.

Changes to the course you have applied for If we propose to make a major change to a course that you are holding an offer for, then we will tell you as soon as possible so that you can decide whether to withdraw your application prior to enrolment.

Changes to the course after you enrol as a student We will always try to deliver your course and other services as described. However, sometimes we may have to make changes as set out below: Changes to option modules Where your course allows you to choose modules from a range of options, we will review these each year and change them to reflect the expertise of our staff, current trends in research and as a result of student feedback or demand for certain modules. We will always ensure that you have a range of options to choose from and we will let you know in good time the options available for you to choose for the following year.

Major changes We will only make major changes to the core curriculum of a course or to our services if it is necessary for us to do so and provided such changes are reasonable. A major change in this context is a change that materially changes the services available to you; or the outcomes, or a significant part, of your course, such as the nature of the award or a substantial change to module content, teaching days (part-time provision), classes, type of delivery or assessment of the core curriculum.

Important info and the legal bit

For example, it may be necessary to make a major change to reflect changes in the law or the requirements of the University’s regulators; to meet the latest requirements of a commissioning or accrediting body; to improve the quality of educational provision; in response to student, examiners’ or other course evaluators’ feedback; and/or to reflect academic or professional changes within subject areas.

Major changes may also be necessary because of circumstances outside our reasonable control, such as a key member of staff leaving the University or being unable to teach, where they have a particular specialism that can’t be adequately covered by other members of staff; or due to damage or interruption to buildings, facilities or equipment.

Major changes would usually be made with effect from the next academic year, but this may not always be the case. We will notify you as soon as possible should we need to make a major change and will carry out suitable consultation with affected students. If you reasonably believe that the proposed change will cause you detriment or hardship we will, if appropriate, work with you to try to reduce the adverse effect on you or find an appropriate solution. Where an appropriate solution cannot be found and you contact us in writing before the change takes effect you can cancel your registration and withdraw from the University without liability to the University for future tuition fees. We will provide reasonable support to assist you with transferring to another university if you wish to do so.

Termination of course In exceptional circumstances, we may, for reasons outside of our control, be forced to discontinue or suspend your course. Where this is the case, a formal exit strategy will be followed and we will notify you as soon as possible about what your options are, which may include transferring to a suitable replacement course for which you are qualified, being provided with individual teaching to complete the award for
