Ratings and Reviews
I’ve really enjoyed my time at the University of Huddersfield so far. The campus is modern, well-kept, and easy to navigate. The facilities are great – especially the library and the quiet study zones, which are a lifesaver during exam season. Lecturers are generally supportive and passionate about their subjects. I’ve found most of them approachable and willing to help if you’re struggling, though of course that can vary by department. I am studying nursing, and the course content is well-structured, with a good balance of theory and practical learning. Huddersfield as a town is pretty affordable compared to other student cities, and everything you need is within walking distance. Nightlife is decent if you know where to go, and there are plenty of chill spots to hang out with friends. Overall, a solid uni with a lot to offer – especially for the price. Would definitely recommend it to students looking for a friendly campus with good support and facilities!

Had a good first two years of study here, just a shame the course was cut in the final year as it lowered the teaching quality and experience.
The University has been a place of learning for me. First academically ,bringing ne to speed with all I needed to learn as a student nurse. Helping me to appreciate being an African in the multicultural space. A place to feel safe being a Christian and able to share my faith. A place of friendship while learning and growing. My experience has been superb.
Thank you for your very positive review! It’s wonderful to hear that we met your academic needs and provided you with everything you needed as a student nurse. We are extremely proud of our multicultural student population, with students from all across the world studying at the University of Huddersfield! Moreover, the Jo Cox More in Common Centre provides everything necessary for people of all faiths and none: https://students.hud.ac.uk/help/faith/faith-centre/ Though you have rated clubs and societies lower, we would like to point you towards the many of them that we run, along with student networks and international events: https://www.huddersfieldsu.co.uk/get-involved There is truly something for everyone!
Amazing experience so far at University of Huddersfield. When I arrived in here, the I-point staff was so friendly which helped me with all the queries I had and finished my enrolment within few minutes. Also The labs are really amazing, as they have all the high tech latest equipment and machines which I can access and work on and all of these labs were introduced to me by the really friendly faculties. I haven't explored the careers services but looking forward to it. Although I made lots of friends during classes and sport sessions (while playing football specifically) with similar interests. Overall, it was such a great experience so far, I had no inconvenience in here and it was all so positive.

University of Huddersfield has been the best choice when I decided to go back to school. All the components that make a university education amazing and enjoyable as well as challenging in a positive way can be found here. From the course modules, lecturer to students interaction over the courses and students union engagement with students and to the amazing facilities. All these work in a good sync to ensure that experiences are shaped positively. I am glad to be a student here.

Personally I like the University of Huddersfield for the small community feel. My course is smaller and this made it easier to make friends. I however, feel there could have been more support available for me when finding and applying for placements. Whilst I love the facilities and use them regularly, I have found it harder to be able to use them with changes to opening times which have come about in the past year.
Thank you for your review. We are especially pleased that you like the small community feel of our campus, which has the best of both worlds for our thousands of students, without feeling too big nor too small!
