Overview
The university is situated on a compact modern campus in this Yorkshire town, surrounded by the grandeur of the Pennines and easily accessible from both Leeds and Manchester. Life at Huddersfield focuses on life after university, with a strong emphasis on producing work-ready graduates. All Huddersfield students get the chance to undertake professional work experience during their degrees and the university is a big supplier of graduates into health and social care professions, teaching and more generally into the public sector. Huddersfield prides itself on the quality of its teaching, with all permanent teaching staff having (or completing) doctorates, and the university winning the highest number of National Teaching Fellowship awards (22) since 2008. Applications to study here have been notably consistent over the past five years, where other universities have seen surges and, in many cases, significant falls during the pandemic. Huddersfield caters for mostly local students, 91% of them coming from either the Yorkshire and Humber region or just over the other side of the Pennines from the North West. It has among the biggest proportions of first generation students of any university.

Paying the bills
Good achievement at school is rewarded by a £1,000 scholarship at Huddersfield if you come from a home with less than £25,000 annual income. The university has cut the academic eligibility threshold from 120 Ucas tariff points (BBB at A-level) to 112 (BBC) this year as grades reverted to something close to pre-pandemic levels, with about 900 students expected to benefit. The scholarship is paid in the first year only. Care leavers can qualify for a further £2,000 scholarship paid out over three years. The university responded to the cost of living crisis by topping up its hardship fund from £400,000 to £520,000 with further money coming from the Government. This helped fund an energy bursary of £300 paid to all students living in private accommodation last winter. The university does not own any student accommodation of its own, but endorses the Storthes Hall Park development near the town, where prices range from a very reasonable £4,004 (£91 per week for a 44-week contract) to £5,280 (£120 per week).

What’s new?
The National Health Innovation Campus will open at Huddersfield next year. The campus is being developed to help meet the chronic needs of the NHS. The university has already increased by 60% the number of graduates in nursing, midwifery and allied health professions in the past five years, and the new campus will lead to another 60% increase over the next five years. The university is already the largest provider of apprenticeships in nursing and allied health in the Yorkshire and Humber region. Alongside specialist clinical teaching facilities, the campus will offer world-class research capabilities and a Health and Wellbeing Academy, which will aim to improve health outcomes for the northern region (as well as nationally and internationally) and lead innovation in healthcare.

Admissions, teaching and student support
Huddersfield does not have a contextual offer scheme, but its outreach programme provides the opportunity to earn UCAS tariff points through the completion of modules and assignments. The effect is the same as a contextual offer in that it reduces the grades needed from examinations to meet the university’s offers. Sixth formers who complete its Progression Module, for example, can gain 12 Ucas tariff points to count towards offers from Huddersfield, Leeds Beckett and Leeds Trinity universities. All standard courses have the majority of teaching delivered face-to-face with attendance at lectures expected. Lecture capture has been in use for at least six years across all courses to enhance learning and allow for revision and review, rather than to replace student attendance. Some members of staff use flipped classroom approaches to deliver course material and in these cases pre-recorded content is made available to students to review before the face-to-face teaching session. The university commits to seeing all students who seek mental health support within five days of their initial request, although a duty adviser can respond to urgent issues. There are support and guidance staff in each of the six academic schools to which students can turn, all of them trained mental health first aiders. Huddersfield’s Global Professional Award programme, which students spend one hour a week on alongside their degree, includes workshops and assignments on wellbeing as one of its three strands to build resilience and encourage self-care, looking out for friends and reflective practice.
