PGDE Secondary postgraduate degrees in Northern England

The 24 hour liabry does help a lot and this university is good when it comes to understanding external stressors and being mindful of them and it is a good uni for understanding learning disabilities, compared to others. Could be improved with telling all students what's available there a lot that is available but isn't to easy to find the information etc global citizens schemes.

The people are the best part along with the campus, the courses are taught by amazing staff. There are slight improvements that would help the overall rating but overall it's a good and delightful university

My university experience has been a journey of growth, challenge, and self-discovery. Pursuing a Master of Public Health (MPH) after working in the pharmaceutical and clinical field has allowed me to see healthcare from a completely different perspective. Instead of focusing only on individual patients, I now think about communities, prevention strategies, and health systems as a whole. One of the best aspects of my university experience has been the exposure to diverse ideas and teamwork. Working in different study groups has helped me improve my communication, leadership, and collaboration skills. Each group project pushed me to think critically and consider different viewpoints. Preparing presentations, such as those on public health issues like tuberculosis, strengthened my research skills and boosted my confidence in public speaking. I also appreciate how my previous work experience in pharmacy and clinical settings allows me to contribute practical insights during discussions. Another positive aspect has been personal growth. University has taught me time management, discipline, and resilience. Balancing coursework, deadlines, and group responsibilities has not always been easy, but it has helped me become more organized and focused. I have learned how to analyze data, interpret research, and apply evidence-based approaches to real-world health challenges. However, there have also been challenges. Group work, while rewarding, can sometimes be stressful due to differences in commitment levels, communication styles, or schedules. Managing academic pressure, tight deadlines, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance has also been difficult at times. Additionally, transitioning from a practical, hands-on clinical role to a more research- and theory-based academic environment required adjustment. Overall, my university experience has been both demanding and enriching. The challenges have helped me grow stronger and more adaptable, while the positive experiences have expanded my knowledge and career vision. Studying public health has not only enhanced my professional skills but has also deepened my passion for improving community health outcomes.

The best aspects are the student union and the facilities available. I think it could be improved if we had more books generally available at the library without requiring click and collect, since right now the library feels like a study space but not a real library.

I love the location of the univeristy as well as all the shops that surround it. The environment is very chill and also very calming, I often like to sit in any of the different campus locations to study due to the vibes. I personally don't think theres anything to improve on as of now.

I think my uni is great. I love living so close to campus because im in one of the accoms and the facilities here are amazing too. The on campus restaurant Habita is amazing, great food and vibe. The overall facilities in the uni are amazing too, especially the dedicated study areas for different departments

Student life in this university is really enjoyable! I have found the student events to be the most enjoyable and I have made alot of friends through these events. The one thing i dont love about the university is the location, whilst we are close to a big city, its further away than i realised when i applied for it. Making social nights out that little bit harder. I also feel like theres not much social activities to do in Ormskirk overall.

Durham is a beautiful city and university with great social opportunities. The traditions are very strong at this school. It feels today like how Oxford and Cambridge were twenty years ago. Sometimes administration can be a challenge, many people have difficulty in knowing how to pay tuition and the university is slow to respond to emails. Also, there are far too many international students and just students in general. The university’s expansion plans are causing a drop in the school’s national and international rankings and causing the university to be in danger of losing its character.

Based on my time here, the University of Huddersfield is an excellent choice if you're looking for a career-focused degree and a supportive learning environment. The standout feature is definitely the teaching quality, backed by the Gold TEF rating, as nearly all my lecturers were genuine experts who were passionate and approachable. The modern, compact campus is a big plus—everything is central, from the state-of-the-art library (great during exam season!) to the specialist labs, and the fact that Huddersfield itself is a really affordable student town makes a huge difference. While the local nightlife might not rival a big city like Manchester, the focus on practical skills, the strong emphasis on industry placements, and the overall sense of community made my experience highly rewarding and put me in a great position for my career.
