Explore our campus
A closeknit campus
A university is only as good as its campus and thankfully, we think there’s lots to love about ours. At the University of Huddersfield, we want to provide you with the very best buildings, facilities, equipment and services to ensure your time at university is the best it can be. That’s why we have so much to offer, and it’s all located on a closeknit campus that’s easy to navigate and bursting with opportunity.
You’ll find lots of information on this page about the various buildings on site, our Students’ Union, Library, food and drink outlets, accommodation and onsite safety policies and services. If you want to learn more, why not book an Open day?
We’ve spent £198m on major campus investments since 2015
On campus you’ll find all academic schools, the library, quiet study spaces and research facilities alongside green spaces, places to eat and even a gym. We have fantastic facilities including specialist laboratories, studios and performance spaces. There's also a working canal that runs through the heart of our campus with a tree-lined towpath, perfect for those downtime moments.
