Student review [#6313]
at University of Huddersfield

The University of Huddersfield is not necessarily a high-profile university in the UK, especially in comparison to many of the Russell Group institutions. However, as someone who has studied at a Russell Group university before transferring to Huddersfield, I can say that, for me, Huddersfield wins hands down in several ways. At times, with the Russell Group university, I felt it was difficult to make my voice heard or often my opinions were discounted. At Huddersfield, I feel the opposite is true. Support staff and lecturers are open, friendly, approachable and make time for you. Communication is clear and informative. The University won a THE award whilst I was studying there and since studying even more investment has gone into the buildings and structures around campus. New, innovative designs sit well within older buildings. There is a modern student union area, although no bar sadly for those who remember the old set up, but there are plenty within a stone’s throw of the university. It’s a TEF gold rated university and well deserved. Most of the teaching I received was excellent. Facilities are very good. The one thing lacking for me as a single student parent was an onsite nursery or crèche but as far as I am aware one of the student reps was looking into this.
