“The University of Huddersfield has played a significant role in my life and I credit the education I received as a direct influence on the career opportunities I’ve had.

Hadil Haram
Student - MSc Digital Marketing
"The University has the best staff that dedicate their time and effort to make sure they are delivering the best teaching possible. The facilities are also amazing, and the support continues after you graduate too. The teaching on my course is split between online lectures and on-campus workshops. This hybrid way of learning provides me with a high level of flexibility, as well as ensuring I maintain social connection, development, and networking opportunities, and access to the campus and facilities."
Tom Williams
Student - Investigative Psychology PhD
“I never considered doing a postgraduate degree at another university, mostly due to the incredible staff and lecturers who not only helped me with my Master’s application but who have also been there with me all the way through my studies, even now while I’m doing my PhD. The patience and support they have given me has helped in all aspects of my educational and career prospects."
