Our trophy cabinet The awards we’ve won don’t just make us feel proud.

They also give you an idea of what the University is like.

Teaching Excellence Framework Gold Award

Global Teaching Excellence Award

Huddersfield is a TEF gold-rated institution delivering consistently outstanding teaching and learning of the highest quality found in the UK (Teaching Excellence Framework, 2017)*.

We won the first Global Teaching Excellence Award. It recognised the University’s commitment to world-class teaching and its success in developing students as independent learners and critical thinkers (HEA, 2017).

*The University of Huddersfield’s TEF Gold rating was awarded in June 2017.

It is valid for up to four years from that date, and may be subject to change.

University of the Year

Joint First in England

The Times Higher Education named us as their University of the Year in November 2013. They liked our ‘bold, imaginative and innovative initiatives.’

Knowledgeable, qualified teachers can inspire you and help you to achieve great things.

Huddersfield is ranked joint highest of all the universities in England for the proportion of staff with teaching qualifications (HESA, 2019).

A Four Star University

Athena Swan

QS Stars have given us four stars. That means we are “highly international, demonstrating excellence in both teaching and research with an excellent environment for students and staff.”

We’re serious about gender equality.

We want an equal number of men and women on our science and engineering courses, for instance. Our commitment was recognised in 2015 with the Athena SWAN Bronze Award.

Welcome

“ As a former postgraduate student of the University I am deeply proud of Huddersfield and the excellence of our academic community.

If you decide to join us for your postgraduate studies you’ll join a lively, diverse group of students. The thing they have in common is that they know that studying for extra qualifications will stand them in good stead for their careers.

Professor Bob Cryan CBE DL FREng BSc MBA PhD DSc Vice-Chancellor

Huddersfield offers postgraduates who come to study here a beautiful, modern campus in which we are continually investing.

As a University we are dedicated to raising our research profile whilst maintaining our excellence in all aspects of teaching and learning. That’s a formula which makes for a great environment.

I do hope you will join us, and I look forward to welcoming you to the University of Huddersfield.”

Teaching excellence Here at Huddersfield, we’re recognised as a centre of teaching excellence. Here are just some of the reasons why.

We were the first university in England to achieve recognition as having the highest proportion of professionally-qualified teaching staff*. Just under 95% of our academic staff hold an appropriate teaching qualification.

We’ve been the UK’s leading university for National Teaching Fellowships over the last ten years, winning more than any other institution.

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

We’re the first and only UK university 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.

Joint 1st in England for professionally qualified teaching staff. (HESA 2019)

*Permanent staff, after probation: some recently appointed colleagues will only obtain recognition in the months after their arrival in Huddersfield, once they have started teaching.

Our professionalism extends way beyond the confines of the campus. We actively engage with professional, statutory and regulatory bodies to ensure we teach in a way that will help you to progress your career, as well as deepen your knowledge and broaden your experience.

As a result, you’ll find that many of our courses have been recognised or accredited by external professional bodies.

Research informed teaching Ensuring strong links between teaching and research is key. Many of our academics are at the cutting-edge of their field, bringing the latest developments in their teaching which really impacts on your day-to-day experience.

Another investment we make is in equipment and your access to it. Our research facilities are not hidden away for academic staff only, but are right here at the heart of our postgraduate community. The campus is home to a number of impressive research initiatives which genuinely inform and complement our teaching.

“Studying my Master of Architecture (RIBA Part 2) at Huddersfield has been a great experience.

The quality of teaching facilitated my ideas and pushed me to do more than I’ve ever done before.”

“ I was also able to gain knowledge through collaboration and peer reviews with my course group. One of my personal highlights was a trip to Mexico for my final project, which looked at how architecture and design could improve the lives of migrants and deportees in Tijuana.

Working with tutors who have a lot of industry experience and connections enabled me to enter and win multiple competitions, exhibit my work around Yorkshire and attend a summer school abroad in Italy. All of this experience enhanced my CV and enabled me to secure a job at one of the best companies in the UK within two months of finishing my degree.”

Enhance your career A postgraduate qualification is a great way to improve your professional prospects, change your career path or master your passion.

Postgraduate degrees and research are challenging, inspiring and can make a huge difference to your professional life. In fact, the average starting salary of our postgraduates is £28.7K per annum (DLHE 2016/17).

Whatever your reasons, studying at Huddersfield means that you’ll have access to great employment support – not just whilst you’re here, but throughout your working life.

In some professions, including teaching, architecture and health, you’ll be required to gain industry accreditation as standard. Within other sectors, a postgraduate qualification will allow you to stand out from the crowd with specialist knowledge, expertise and skills or even allow you to change career direction entirely.

Our online ‘Careers Advice for Life’ tool gives you access to personalised postgraduate resources and e-guidance. There’s also one-to-one guidance to help you work out your career options or, if you’ve got your heart set on a particular career, look out for our specialist development workshops.

“One of the great things about living in Huddersfield is that it’s affordable, particularly in comparison to other nearby cities.”

“ I’ve lived in Huddersfield for nearly 6 years so have seen a lot of student accommodation! I started off living at Ashenhurst; a small student village, with shared houses and big grassy areas for enjoying nice weather. Living here allowed me to meet new people, make friends and find people to share accommodation with going forward. I got a lot of practical help finding accommodation from the Students’ Union. They gave me tips on what questions to ask when and what I should bear in mind when looking round a property. There are also great transport links across town so wherever you decide to make your home, you can easily get to uni in the morning.”

Viktoria Gamolova TESOL MA and Academic Rep

Postgraduate pathways Here at Huddersfield you can choose from a range of postgraduate options, including taught or research degrees. To help with your decision here are some key differences between the two pathways.

Postgraduate taught may be better for you if:

Postgraduate research may be better for you if:

You prefer more structured study which is assessed through regular assignments and exams

You prefer a more independent approach to study with little or no taught elements and exams, concentrating on the thesis

You prefer teaching delivered through lectures, seminars and independent study You need a Master’s qualification for a specific industry or career You want a mix of coursework, exams and a shorter dissertation.

You are able to project manage your research throughout the whole degree You want to explore a research topic using an in-depth and intensive approach and to make an original contribution to knowledge You want to consider the lower tuition fees for research degrees due to the higher level of independence required.

22

23

Flexible study options allowing you to fit studies around your lifestyle.

24

Postgraduate taught study options We understand the need for a flexible approach to postgraduate study, which is why we offer part-time, full-time and some distance learning options, helping you to achieve a balance with your other commitments.

“Studying for the MBA was the best decision I made career wise.

I was apprehensive about the demands placed on my work and home life, but I am so glad I didn’t let that deter me from applying because it’s more manageable and flexible than I initially thought.

I can already see the benefits from my studies in my current role in terms of applying theory to my work, learning new skills and furthering my professional development. I particularly enjoy the collaborative nature of the lectures, combining the teaching with peer experience.”

Cerys Jones Part-time MBA student

Fitting studies around you A Master’s can be flexible to fit around your life. Depending on the course, we offer full-time and part-time options to suit you.

Master’s degrees On a postgraduate taught degree, you’ll learn through a combination of lectures, seminars and practical work. Studying at Master’s level will involve advanced specialist study in your chosen subject or profession and usually contains a taught element in addition to a supervised dissertation or research project.

Postgraduate Diplomas (PgDip) and Postgraduate Certificates (PgCert) If you’d like to study at postgraduate level but can’t commit to a Master’s degree at this stage, you may want to consider a Postgraduate Certificate (PgCert) or a Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip).

Postgraduate Certificate: These programmes are a shorter postgraduate study option that include Master’s level content.

Postgraduate Diploma: These programmes usually require you to complete everything in the Master’s degree excluding the final dissertation.

They’re a great option to consider if you’re just looking to study the taught content at Master’s level, without having to complete a research project.

“ The main resource I access through the University for my course is however my supervisors. Without their guidance and expertise I wouldn’t be able to produce high quality work. I carried out my Master’s degree

by Research at this University prior to starting my PhD, which left me perfectly placed for the next step of becoming an academic historian.

Fighting wildlife crime in Malaysia

Empowering mothers in Zambia

Criminals in Malaysia are endangering the region’s wildlife. The illegal international wildlife trade is affecting prized wildlife such as turtles, pangolins, sun bears and clouded leopards. Dr Melanie Flynn has worked with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in Malaysia to introduce sentencing guidelines, which will help judges to deal more effectively with wildlife criminals.

Infant and maternal mortality and morbidity are of significant concern in Zambia, which has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world. Researchers Professor Barry Doyle and Dr James Reid have worked with communities in the area to introduce zero-cost interventions to support mothers. By adopting a sustainable approach, using minimal resources, their aim is to achieve a positive impact on infant and maternal mortality.

Giving communities the right to manage their forests Degradation of tropical rain forests in Ethiopia causes devastating losses of biodiversity and destroys livelihoods of forest-using communities. A research team, led by Professor Adrian Wood, has been working in the region to enable communities to manage over 400,000 hectares of forest.

As a result, they have almost halted forest loss and maintained biodiversity, as well as improving livelihoods.

Postgraduate research community Here’s what some of our postgraduate research community have to say about their Huddersfield experience.

“I successfully completed my MSc in pharmaceutical and analytical science with distinction at the University of Huddersfield and I had the brilliant opportunity to join Dr Kofi Asare-Addo’s research group as a PhD researcher in 2018.

“Working within such a supportive and constructive environment with the close guidance provided by my supervisor and access to university facilities has been excellent. Throughout my PhD research we have worked on many scientific projects and have published our work in prestigious pharmaceutical journals.

“My research focuses on the implication of 3D printing in the pharmaceutical industry, including working on various pharmaceutical polymers with the aim of personalising treatment doses for each patient’s individual needs.”

Nihad Mawla PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences

“Our research students benefit from working alongside people with different disciplinary backgrounds, cultures and working experiences.

“They get the opportunity to explore a variety of methods, tools and theoretical perspectives.

“The Global Disaster Resilience Centre gives students the opportunity to tackle some of the greatest challenges that communities are facing around the world such as climate change, the growth in urbanisation and disaster risk, rising levels of displacement and increasing threats to human security.

“We work closely with national and local government, UN and other international agencies, the private sector and communities at risk. These experiences equip our students with the knowledge and skills to address the complexity of the challenges we face.”

Professor Richard Haigh Co-Director, Global Disaster Resilience Centre

“I am only a Professor today because I chose to do a PhD yesterday. I always tell my students that a PhD was the biggest thing I ever did for myself. It opened my mind in ways that I could not have foreseen and it opened doors that would have remained closed.

“ A research degree demonstrates a level of critical thinking and dedication that appeals to many employers and if it leaves you thirsty for answers to some of the important questions in your field, then it most certainly will be the precursor to a research career. “ For more than a decade, I have dedicated myself to the prevention of violence against women and children. I am also the Director of the None in Three Research Centre which prevents genderbased violence (GBV) through educational interventions which uses prosocial video games.”

Architecture and the Built Environment

You need to know...

Architecture, Landscape and the Built Environment drives innovation and value for society through the creative application of design. Our courses focus on the skills needed to develop innovative solutions to global challenges, encouraging creativity and critical thinking throughout the design and construction processes.

We look at cutting-edge design practice and address some of the latest challenges and opportunities for our industries, including sustainability, ecological integrity, user-centred design, and Building Information Modelling.

Our international and industry-led focus provides students with opportunities to really broaden their perspectives and understand the need to deliver innovative solutions that satisfy the physical, cultural and social conditions, wherever development is required.

All projects explore applications of digital design and sustainability, and an understanding of design and construction theories. The application of advanced construction management methods like Lean Construction, and tools such as Building Information Modelling, co-exist with time-based and interactive techniques, augmented and virtual reality alongside concerns for the implementation of sustainable technologies and the awareness of regional and global development issues. Â

“I chose the course at Huddersfield because of the international aspect and I would have the prospect of travelling to different countries while studying. The practical aspect of the course also persuaded me.�

Synthetic Spaces: Creating Narrative Architectures with 3D Digital Scanning The development of 3D laser scanning offers an important opportunity to expand the ways in which architects are able to capture, develop and represent spaces, providing new and innovative opportunities to create narrative architectural concepts.

The laser scanning process produces digital data that can be used to create detailed spatial information in the form of an evocative ‘point-cloud’ model. Normally this data is considered as a neutral objective survey, despite the fact that there are many variables where the judgement of the operator is an important factor. There is no question that scanning offers greater accuracy than more conventional approaches but it also offers opportunities to combine the data with other forms of practice, particularly animation.

For the Synthetic Spaces Project, Professor Nic Clear and Hyun Jun Park selected and scanned three iconic sites in Huddersfield: Castle Hill, the Queensgate Market and the Railway Station. The data was manipulated to explore these familiar spaces in unique ways through the production of architectural images, animations and drawings including an immersive installation. The overall effect of the combination of the projected images with the specially constructed soundscape creates an immersive experience where a literal description of the spaces is fragmented into an evocative collage of space.

The ability to manipulate the ‘point-cloud’ data allows the creation of synthetic spatial models that exists between the virtual and the actual and combine the ‘measured’, the ‘experienced’ and the ‘practiced’.

Lauri Koskela is Professor of Construction and Project Management at the University of Huddersfield.

Since 1991, Lauri has been involved in research on lean construction. He is a founding and continuously active member of the International Group for Lean Construction (IGLC).

Research in Architecture and the Built Environment

Research in Context

In the last two decades, new powerful methods for construction project management have been developed in the framework of lean construction.

Their implementation in construction projects is rapidly increasing. In his teaching, Lauri emphasises the practical mastery of lean methods and explanations on why these methods work.

Professor Lauri Koskela Professor of Construction and Project Management

The project demonstrates the expanded possibilities of spatial representation using laser scanning data and draws upon the way information produced by the scans can be manipulated to retain its technical veracity while the images themselves can evoke a much more speculative response to the sites.

Logistics and Operations

You need to know...

Within a business context, it is now recognised that one of the main ways in which competitive advantage is gained is through the effective and efficient management of the supply chain.

This refers to the flow of products or services from their point of origin through to the final point of sale or use. In today’s globalised and digitised business environment, managing operations, logistics and the supply chain faces a number of challenges, and is an essential function within organisations to ensure goods and services make it to their destinations across the globe.

Our logistics and operations courses provide the essential framework, concepts and toolkit required for the strategic management and logistics of the supply chain. Alongside these core principles, there is also an opportunity to specialise in areas such as sustainable logistics operations management, humanitarian challenges and project and operations management through the different course routes on offer.

If you’re interested in sustainability within the logistics sector, management of the supply chain, project management and business operations, or the impact on humanitarian problems caused by a range of current trends then these courses could be ideal.

“Whether you are looking to move into Logistics and Supply Chain Management or you are already a professional in these fields, these courses will enable you to develop your transferable skills; a natural next step and very worthy of investment to help you climb the career ladder.”

Research in Context Sounding out Refugees in Jordan The research project ‘Sounding out refugees’ was carried out by an interdisciplinary team of researchers from Huddersfield Business School (Dr Radi Haloub, Dr Deema Refai and Dr John Lever) and the School of Music, Humanities and Media (Dr Toby Martin) at the University of Huddersfield.

The rise in the refugee crisis has called for more research to explore their journeys and ways of engaging with refugees within host countries, where entrepreneurship can be seen as one way to support this engagement.

The project worked with Syrian refugees in Jordan to explore their journeys and the challenges they face, focusing in particular on how these journeys and challenges lead them to engage in entrepreneurship.

The research highlights the transitory stages that refugees go through, presenting their entrepreneurial journey as a liminal and contextualised one.

Despite the challenges that these refugees face, many of them present with high levels of vocational knowledge and expertise. Some have, and continue to demonstrate, successful examples of entrepreneurial engagement whereby they are able to overcome the challenges of their context though utilising minimal resources, thus contributing to the formal and informal economy.

“Our involvement with refugees has expanded to promote social cohesion between the communities at local and global levels. We have worked with various partners in Jordan, UK and Turkey to support refugees’ engagement and promote their active contributions to societies and economies.”

“As a researcher, there are many places across the campus that only postgraduate researchers have access to, which means that you can work peacefully with other PhD students.

These students can end up being like your family during your PhD journey.

As a PhD student in my third year, I have been fortunate to present papers at many conferences abroad. ANZMAC 2019 “the winds of change” was my latest one.

It was a great opportunity to meet peers and professionals in my field, discover groundbreaking ideas and overcome my fears regarding my thesis and explore what happens after your postgraduate degree.”

Pioneering research

Huddersfield is home to world-leading academics in the fields of digital media, participatory culture and fan studies.

Interdisciplinary approach

Our supervisors offer expertise within and across film and TV, Internet and social media, music, journalism, political communication, sport and games.

You will be taught by our internationally leading researchers at a postgraduate level, covering topics including fan, audience and user studies, the impact of digital media on film and television, and social media and its use by corporations, activists and all sorts of creative “producers”. You will focus on the specialised, advanced study of current media developments and their historical antecedents. You will be able to analyse and critically reflect on the media world that they inhabit as it relates to audiences and fans, politics and identity, and/or organisations and industries.

The Centre for Participatory Culture (CPC) is dedicated to the study of forms of participation, engagement, reception and content creation among users and audiences, and the role of industries in facilitating and/or restricting cultures of participation. The Centre’s work aims to advance understanding of the role of media technologies in shaping practices of participation and the cultures, identities and experiences of participation across popular culture, media, arts, politics and beyond.

The Centre is hosting an Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Collaborative Doctoral Award, worth approximately £50,000, for our doctoral student Jilly Evans to work with a commercial app-development company. The project aims to design and create an innovative “TV diary” app that can be used to survey digital audiences about their TV consumption.

The project combines this technical activity with an ethnography of the app’s research, development, production and implementation.

Research in Communication, Cultural and Media Studies

Research in Context Online TV Professor Catherine Johnson’s research is exploring how the screen industries respond to change.

Her new book, Online TV (Routledge, 2019), examines the convergence of television and the internet, arguing that we are entering a new ‘internet era’ that is changing how we understand television as a medium. Through the process of defining online TV, the book identifies four core ‘battlefields’ where the industrial struggle for online TV is taking place: technology, intellectual property, interfaces and data. It argues that these battlefields should be on the top of the agenda for academics, policy-makers and regulators.

This work builds on Catherine’s previous research into the changing nature of promotional screen culture (Promotional Screen Industries, Routledge 2015, written with Professor Paul Grainge) and into the adoption of branding by the US and UK television industries (Branding Television, Routledge 2012), as well as on previous research into the US and UK television industries. This included co-editing the first academic book on the history of ITV (ITV Cultures, Open UP 2005, edited with Rob Turnock) and examining the industrial contexts within which innovation in television production has taken place (Telefantasy, BFI 2005).

“As Professor of Media and Communications, my research focuses on how the screen industries structure our experiences of the media, with a particular interest in television, screen marketing and the internet. My new book, Online TV, explores how the internet is transforming television globally, demanding new concepts, business models and media policies.

I work regularly with industry partners, including Ofcom, the BFI and Red Bee Media. My research sits within the Centre for Participatory Culture, which gives me access to a vibrant interdisciplinary group of international scholars and students exploring our changing relationships with the media.”

Research in Computing

Research in Context Automated Techniques for Security Assessment Software tools to aid with security policy auditing were downloaded over 35k times from 184 different countries between 11 and 19 March 2020, with a significant portion originating from redirects from technical support and software distribution platforms.

These tools have been developed to address the shortfall in security analysis expertise, which result in businesses being left vulnerable.

Auditing and maintaining IT security controls is heavily reliant on human expert knowledge, which is currently in short supply. The consequence of this skill shortfall is evident in the number of organisations and individuals falling foul to cybercrime, which could have been prevented through implementing and monitoring adequate security controls.

We have performed ground-up research, driven by real-world pressures to close the knowledge shortfall and also enhance security policy auditing and configuration activities.

“We have a rapidly growing research community within the Department. We are carrying out world-class research in key areas including: Mathematics and Data Science, Planning Autonomy and Representation of Knowledge, Visual and Immersive Computing, Cybersecurity and Industrial Analytics.

In all of these areas we are creating knowledge and using this to support the developments that improve understanding. We work closely with industry partners to ensure that our research has real impact on society.

We have impressive facilities to support our research including dedicated computer networking, mobile and forensic computing laboratory and creative studio environments.�

Research in Drama, Theatre and Performance

Research in Context What a Body Can Do In What a Body Can Do, Ben Spatz develops a rigorous theory of embodied technique as knowledge. He argues that viewing technique as both training and research has much to offer current debates over the role of practice in the University, including the debates around practice-as-research.

“I am interested in theatre as a site of transformation and exploring what it means to be human. I teach the practice and theory of performance and I direct ensemble shows that use extended physical and vocal techniques to grapple with urgent contemporary issues. My 2015 and 2020 books focus on the human body in its diverse capacities and meanings, while my current research looks at race and gender identities through the lens of experimental performance practice. I work with theatre and dance companies around the world on new ways to create and share multimedia performance.”

Dr Ben Spatz Senior Lecturer in Drama, Theatre and Performance

“The most exciting aspect of my project is that I get to experience lots of amazing performances and pieces of theatre. I get to discuss my passion and the type of theatre that interests me with innovative artists in the field of the ‘immersive’ and then analyse it academically.

I’d recommend this research programme as it offers you the opportunity to research the subject you love in a friendly environment, with a great team and in a nice town.

Alongside my research, I have been given the opportunity to shadow the lecturers I learnt from and teach alongside them to the first-year undergraduates.

My decision to continue my study here was hugely influenced by the standard of teaching that the drama course offers.”

Research in Education We provide a supportive and stimulating environment for researchers who come from a wide range of professional and cultural backgrounds.

Explore your area of interest in an inspiring, passionate and committed research community.

Our research opportunities We’ve provided a range of research opportunities in education for over 20 years that will help to develop transferable and research skills, which support you in gaining expertise in a specialist area. Our research degrees can be studied through a Master’s by Research, Doctor of Education (EdD) or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) on a full or part-time basis.

We particularly welcome, but are not limited to, research in the following areas: Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities and education policy and practice Children and young people’s transitions Educational management Informal and community education Innovative research methodologies Pastoral care and inclusion in educational contexts Post-secondary education and lifelong learning Professional values and practice School exclusion and alternative provisions Sustainability and education Technologies and education Vocational education and training.

Huddersfield Centre for Research in Education and Society (HudCRES) Our research activities have a collaborative approach and are organised through our overarching ‘Huddersfield Centre for Research in Education and Society’ (HudCRES) and its three research groups: Policy, Pedagogies and Professional Identities.

Our three broad research groups ensure that our staff, students and research collaborators are part of and contribute to a vibrant international community, addressing key research themes relevant to contemporary society.

Policy

The focus of this group is on education policy, the interaction between policy and practice, and the ways in which policy is enacted in both contemporary and historical contexts.

Its approach is underpinned by a commitment to social justice using critical perspectives which question dominant paradigms about the role of education in society.

Pedagogies

The emphasis of this group is on the processes of lifelong education and learning across a range of formal and informal settings. Its work includes research on the literacy practices of very young children through to understandings of the pedagogic and assessment practices of educators in compulsory and post-compulsory education and adult learning.

Professional Identities

What makes a professional? Is it about being properly qualified to carry out a given task?

Or is it about exclusion by maintaining an elite group of workers? Researchers in this group examine how policy and culture affect the way people in educational roles think about themselves and what they do.

Research in Education

Research in Context Modelling Landscapes for Resilient Pollination Services in the UK This newly awarded three-year research project brings together ecologists and social scientists in order to understand how changes in Britain’s landscapes affect crop-pollinating insects such as bees and hoverflies.

Funded as part of the cross-council Global Food Security programme and led by Professor Simon Potts at the University of Reading’s Centre for Agri-Environmental Research, the research aims to identify the impacts of climate and land use changes on pollinating insects in order to increase resilience and sustainability of the UK food system. As well as exploring important questions about how to ensure habitats for pollinating insects, the project will map the socio-cultural value of landscapes. Professor Helen Lomax, Director of Research at HudCRES will work with colleagues from Reading, Lund and Northampton in order to explore how diverse groups of people value landscapes and their impact on human wellbeing. By mapping the economic, ecological and socio-cultural values of landscapes, the research aims to encourage vital conversations about the importance of agricultural landscapes for food production, wildlife and wellbeing; how these services are intimately connected and their sustainability in the face of climate and societal changes.

“My doctoral research is on the role of informal learning in medieval re-enactment. Informal learning is defined as that which takes place outside formal education environments and my research concentrates on how re-enactors learn the skills they need to make their clothing and equipment and acquire skills in areas such as archery, gunnery and sword combat.

I have used a combination of interviews and participant observation as I have been a re-enactor for sixteen years so I have been researching at events that I have been part of with my group. There has been very little research undertaken in this area and so I am hoping that my findings will be useful to other researchers who wish to look at what people gain through hobbies such as this.”

Research in Engineering

Research in Context Optimisation of Wheel Profile Design and Maintenance The interface between the wheel-rail is critical not only for safe running of a rail vehicle but also to maximise wheelset life and to minimise wheel-rail damage. A combination of detailed vehicle dynamic simulations and bespoke computer modelling tools have been used to support the development and assessment of new wheel profile designs and the optimisation of wheelset maintenance activities with the aim of extending wheel-rail life and reducing whole life cycle costs.

This case study demonstrates how the techniques and tools generated from the research conducted within the Institute of Railway Research have been applied to the design of new wheel profiles for GB mainline passenger operation, with the aim to reduce wheel-rail forces which promote rail rolling contact fatigue, and the design of a new wheel profile for use on the UK’s first tram-train vehicle (a dual-mode vehicle which operates on both Sheffield Supertram and Network Rail) which provides optimum performance on two very different railway infrastructures.

The analytical analysis and practical trials undertaken during the research have also been used to develop guidance and support standards to optimise wheelset maintenance activities, which account for a large proportion of the whole-life costs for railway rolling stock.

“Within the School of Computing and Engineering we have a vibrant and rapidly growing research community. We are carrying out world-class research in key areas including: Precision Technologies, Railway Engineering, Engineering Materials, Efficiency and Performance Engineering, Electron Microscopy and Innovative Accelerator Technology and Music Technology.

In all of these areas we are creating knowledge and using this to support the developments that improve understanding.

We work closely with industry partners to ensure that our research has real impact on society in areas such as Energy, Transport, Health and Security. We have impressive facilities to support our research and we are home to the Centre for Precision Technologies and the Institute of Railway Research.�

Research impact Photovoice Study It is recognised that people with serious mental illness (SMI) have more physical health problems and a shorter life span than the general population. The aim of this study, carried out in collaboration with the South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, was to understand what healthy living means to people living with SMI and the barriers and facilitators to a healthier lifestyle. Using the photovoice methodology and focus groups, we found that being mentally well was the most important thing. Healthy was described as “feeling complete”; “being busy” and “finishing my goals”.

A key finding was the value of participation in the project, and how taking photos of their day to day lives enabled participants to discuss their experiences and engage in activities that enhanced their wellbeing.

Research in Context Emily Hobhouse Letters Project Dr Rebecca Gill has researched extensively into humanitarian organisations and she is part of a major grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council to explore the letters of humanitarian campaigner Emily Hobhouse.

The project has four main objectives:

“I have a special interest in the nineteenth Century and twentieth Century history of modern war, humanitarian aid and empire, and I am currently co-Ieading on the Emily Hobhouse Letters Project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Emily Hobhouse (1860 –1926), was a British peace activist and writer. Using her vast archive of letters and other writings, the Emily Hobhouse Letters project is uncovering her contribution to international peace and humanitarianism. This includes her work in Germany following the First World War and her role in South African politics. It is a collaborative project, working with colleagues at other universities in the UK, as well as Switzerland and South Africa, and founded on shared interests in the history of relief work, women’s suffrage, internationalism and empire. Her newly-available archive provides a rich resource for postgraduate students wishing to pursue an interest in the history of humanitarianism and imperial politics.”

Research in History

Research in Context History academics at the University of Huddersfield supervise postgraduate research in a wide range of subject areas, with particular focus on history of healthcare, holocaust studies, history of humanitarianism, post-colonialism, medieval and early modern culture, oral history, and public history.

Our historians are also members of The North of England Consortium for Arts and Humanities which promotes research across all arts and humanities disciplines, and offers support to our researchers and encourages widening access to Master’s study.

Their ongoing collaborations with local, regional and national museums, as well as heritage organisations create opportunities for our postgraduate students to develop their research skills within well-regarded professional environments.

Our research students have access to high-profile public lectures that we host each year, ranging from talks by politicians such as Andy Burnham and John Bercow, MP, and encompassing the annual John Henry Whitley Lecture and Luddite Memorial Lecture. We also offer our postgraduates the opportunity to publish in their own peer reviewed journal, Postgraduate Perspectives on the Past, or on our Historians at Work blog.

In addition to this, The Graduate Seminar gives our students a platform to share ideas and findings with other research students.

“My project is about ‘The experiences of visible minoritised groups at school in the North of England, 1960–1981’.

The most exciting aspect of my project is the documentary film that I will produce from the interviews and the rest of my research. As a historian I tend to use the library and online research materials a great deal. Having access to searchable databases of national newspapers, for example, is incredibly useful. The main resource I access is my supervisors.

Without their guidance and expertise I wouldn’t be able to produce highquality work. I carried out a Master’s

by Research degree at Huddersfield prior to starting my PhD, which left me perfectly placed for the next step of becoming an academic historian.”

Research in Context Hansard at Huddersfield: making parliamentary debates searchable The public records of the UK parliament are being optimised for search and research by our stylisticians and corpus linguistics experts, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The £80,510 project has made available more than two centuries’ worth of debates in digital form. This new interface will enable researchers to extract just the information they need from millions of words online.

Since the early 1800s, the printed reports known as “Hansard” have provided reports of proceedings in Parliament. On 6 March 2019, the Hansard at Huddersfield team went to the House of Lords to launch their new website, hansard.hud.ac.uk, aimed at making the record of Parliament more searchable and accessible for professional and casual end-users. The project now covers the whole of Hansard from 1803 to early 2020 and the team is working with parliament on updating the website regularly.

“My research focuses on political language, including news reporting, and the stylistics of contemporary poetry. I supervise research students from a wide range of countries on topics from poetry to political discourse.

I am excited to be leading the project to make Hansard more accessible to end-users and hope that it will in some modest way enhance public engagement with democracy.

Another recent project I am involved in is the Language in Conflict project (with Dr Jim O’Driscoll and Dr Matthew Evans), which has resulted in the ‘Routledge Handbook of Language in Conflict (2019).”

You need to know...

Much of our modern technological world is underpinned by mathematics. New ways of working such as the Industry 4.0 revolution and emerging global challenges such as pandemics and climate change will only increase our reliance on advanced mathematics and mathematical modelling. There is a need for practitioners who combine advanced mathematical expertise with communication, teamwork and creative problemsolving skills. The MSc in Industrial Mathematics focuses on developing this highly desirable skillset.

The programme emphasises the full range of skills needed for mathematical modelling, covering all stages of the process. You will develop a comprehensive knowledge of mathematical and numerical methods for analysing and solving mathematical models formulated as systems of differential or integral equations. There will also be opportunities to learn about how models are formulated through engagement with stakeholders in order to reformulate their requirements in a form amenable to mathematical analysis. The clear presentation of results and distilling actionable conclusions from those results will also be emphasised. Working independently and as part of a team will be covered. Finally, the skills needed to understand and interpret data will also be covered.

“Our course covers all the skills needed to apply mathematics to real-world problems and opens up a broad range of career prospects.�

Research in Context Music of Bushehr In this research project, Bushehr, one of the oldest and most important southern ports in Iran, is analysed to determine the reason behind the creation of a successful cultural dialogue between different religions and ethnicities, including immigrants and natives, and its result: the emergence of a new musical culture.

“Bushehr was known politically and commercially as a principal port in the Persian Gulf in the 18th and 20th centuries. This port attracted businessmen, politicians and migrant workers, from different parts of the world, such as Europe, Africa, and of course Persia (now Iran).

The peaceful cohabitation of different nationalities in Bushehr resulted in the emergence of a new musical culture, which I am focusing on in my research. I am particularly interested in the influence that various religions had on the creation of this new and fascinating musical culture.

My research is conducted through historical and ethnological studies, as well as undertaking ethnomusicological analysis.”

MohammadReza Beladi Master’s by Research in Music

“I highly recommend this research program, because it is an exceedingly nourishing environment for both parts of the whole: the ‘thinker’ and the ‘doer’ of music. The music research community at Huddersfield is filled with people who have equal enthusiasm and sense of wonder, yet all with their own approaches and ideas. It is one of the most creatively thinking and supportively challenging communities, in which we inspire each other to always strive to better articulate and execute our individual pursuits.”

Fluid Corpus Manipulation Project The Fluid Corpus Manipulation project (FluCoMA) instigates new musical ways of exploiting ever-growing banks of sound and gestures within the digital composition process, by bringing breakthroughs of signal decomposition DSP (digital signal processing) and machine learning to the toolset of techno-fluent computer composers, creative coders and digital artists.

“As a professor of computer composition, my research is focused on how to make new sonorities beyond the mere demonstration of technological advances, and how these new elements integrate or challenge previous musical practices.

As such, in my musical output, as well as in the Fluid Corpus Manipulation Project, the focus is on bridging gaps between aesthetic questions and technological ones. With our cutting-edge facilities, such as the Huddersfield Immersive Sound System, and our incredibly wideranging research community, our research students can explore the full range of possibilities, from creative coding to studio composition and DIY improvisation to chamber mixed music practice.”

The research team is developing cuttingedge software extension toolboxes for the three leading environments used by creative researchers, namely Max, Pd and SuperCollider. The toolboxes will be freely available to today’s dispersed researchers, allowing them to make full use of sound banks without having to tax their creative workflow with low-level DSP coding. They will open up a world of original musical and sonic possibilities, raising new questions, creating alternative research models and building richer bidirectional relationships between computer scientists and creative coders.

Research in Science Research is organised in centres that focus on our activities into specific areas of expertise but our overall aim is to promote multidisciplinary research projects where research centres can work together to tackle key challenges that affect human health and society.

Our research opportunities

Research facilities

We have opportunities for you to develop your research within the subject area of Applied Sciences through studying for a Master’s by Research or a PhD. The main areas of research within the School are:

Our research in the area of applied sciences is thriving and expanding. In the past five years nearly £10M has been invested directly by the University in instrumentation and facilities as part of a rolling programme of equipment replacement/ acquisition. Investments made include NMR, SEM, X-ray, cell culture and ancient DNA facilities.

Virtually all types of chromatography are available for researchers. Our mass spectrometry capability includes quantitative (including triple quad) and qualitative LC-MS (qToF). Analytical and spectroscopic techniques include EPR, ICP-MS, X-ray fluorescence and research grade vis/ UV spectrometers with stop-flow systems.

Other specialist techniques, such as adsorption calorimetry, a range of feedback-controlled (controlled-rate) thermal methods for synthesis and characterisation (using conventional and microwave heating). Our researchers have access to a university-based High Performance Computing (HPC) facility in collaboration with the STFC.

Molecular medicine Chemical synthesis and design Structural, molecular and dynamic modelling Functional materials Pharmacology and therapeutics Cellular and molecular models of disease Biomarker research Microbial therapeutics and infection control Pharmaceutical policy and practice Pharmaceutics and drug delivery Biopolymer research Biorefinery engineering and bioprocessing Archaeogenetics and evolution Human and physical geography.

Research in Science

Research in Context Archaeogenetics Research Work by the University of Huddersfield’s Archaeogenetics Research Group has been at the forefront of developing mitochondrial DNA as a tool for reconstructing the dispersal history of mankind, from a new model of the expansion of modern humans out of Africa to re-evaluations of the settlement history of Europe, Asia and the Pacific. Pivotal in the emergence of commercial genetic ancestry testing, this work generates immense public interest and creates many opportunities for broad engagement. It has provided an expert basis for TV and radio programmes, featured widely in the mainstream press and helped the Human Genetics Commission formulate guidelines for the genetic ancestry testing industry.

“Strong support has seen exciting research growth within the disciplines of Applied Sciences. Cutting-edge facilities have allowed us to consolidate long-standing strengths in synthetic chemistry for materials and pharmacological applications whilst developing new expertise in life sciences and geography. Here, our areas of interest include ancient DNA, molecular and cellular bases of disease, improved drug delivery methods, and remote sensing to understand environmental change.”

Professor Michael Ginger, FRSB CMgr MCMI Dean, School of Applied Sciences

“Although my studies are challenging and demanding, the facilities provided by the University plus the well-organised systems and experienced staff make it much easier to achieve my goals.”

Important information This prospectus was prepared in the summer of 2020 for courses starting in September 2021 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 our website for the latest information before you apply.

Changes to your 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 your 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.

130

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

Equal opportunities

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 which you were registered, or claiming an interim award and exiting the University. If you do not wish to take up any of the options that are made available to you, then you can cancel your registration and withdraw from the course without liability to the University for future tuition fees and you will be entitled to a refund of all course fees paid to date. We will provide reasonable support to assist you with transferring to another university if you wish to do so.
