About

The University of Huddersfield has an excellent reputation for supporting our graduates into employment. It is a friendly and student-centred university with a strong vocational emphasis. We maintain and develop strong links with commerce and industry, which is why our postgraduate employment rate is high.There are 3,500 full-time and part-time postgraduate students out of a total student population of around 24,000.The historic town of Huddersfield in Yorkshire is a great place to live and you'll be made to feel very welcome, with around 10% of the population being students.

The University is growing its reputation as a leader in the field of enterprise. In 2012 the University was awarded the prestigious Times Higher Education Entrepreneurial University of the Year and followed this up in 2013 when it was awarded a Queen’s Awards for Enterprise: International Trade. Professor Liz Towns-Andrews, Director of Research and Enterprise, also received an individual Queen’s Award for Enterprise Promotion.

We have helped a number of graduates to set up their own successful businesses and have a fantastic Enterprise Team who are here to help students get their business ideas off the ground. The Enterprise Hub, housed in the 3M Buckley Innovation Centre, is a great hub for students who wish to set up their own business and provides a great opportunity to network with other students and local businesses.
