Too much to put regarding worst, most of lecture stuff is online based and not much on campus teaching taking place
friendly environment, great support, good teaching quality and amazing culture events
I have mixed feelings over my time on this course. The people who work there, are absolutely brilliant and will help you at the drop of a hat to succeed. However, the archaic structure of the course means it doesn't allow you to reach full potential in my opinion. A more remote-model would be beneficial for some seminars & lectures, as sometimes you can find yourself travelling in for a 1-hour session. The expectancy to 'put yourself out there' for free is quite disturbing through a cost of living crisis. Constant expectancy of real life experience, without any regard for travel expenses, time spent not working to do the experience itself, percepts just how out-of-touch the higher-ups are when deciding course structure. UoH is a working class uni, and requiring minimum 80 hours to pass certain modules for free is quite disturbing and unfair. Even a maximum student loan payment only equates to just under 9k annually - they really expect you to set aside hours for free in this circumstance. I once attended a lecture that spoke about, wait for it... a clitorous stimulation game, for sports journalism - baffling & you find yourself feeling completely puzzled by some of the content you discuss. Zero course aftercare, no checking on you or what you're doing afterwards - so where they pull their statistics from is baffling. But to end on a positive, it's easily accessible by bus, car or train & the staff really do try their best for you, at any hour of the day. However, I would probably recommend investing time in a full time work route from the off, or maybe college digital marketing routes, over this.
Everything is close to the uni, lots of clubs and societies to join, everyone is nice, food on campus is good and cheap
The campus is beautiful and great. It’s a good environment to be in. The staff could be more supportive. But the facilities are great. The students union do some activities and events but they could be more inclusive as the Huddersfield community is so diverse
University of Huddersfield has amazing state of the art modern facilities designed for working in a professional working environment! Lectures and support staff are always there to assist students in any way they can! Very supportive community university life.

As a first-year BA Business Management student at the University of Huddersfield, my experience has been excellent. The campus is aesthetically pleasing, fostering a sense of community. Modern facilities enhance the learning experience, making each day enjoyable. The education provided is impressive, laying a strong foundation for my studies. The faculty is dedicated and supportive, contributing to a positive academic atmosphere. The commitment to a well-rounded education is evident, providing opportunities for growth. I look forward to the upcoming years, anticipating more valuable experiences and learning opportunities.
I really enjoyed the year doing my undergraduate at Huddersfield. It is lucky to have patient academic staff members and also the great support from the uni. I love the environment of the campus, especially the diverse nature life. As an international student, I would say all the good support at Huddersfield built a strong foundation for me to pursue my postgraduate study with confidence.
The best aspect is the facilities, the uni is kept very clean and they are constantly working on improving the campus. The worst aspect is the lack of support for humanity subjects such as History and English which are being merged together.
Good study environment; quite insufficient of facilities to use compare the others university.
No complaints regarding the content learnt or the lecturers who are all fantastic. The university has great coffee shops and a gym which I appreciate and overall it’s quite a welcoming place to be. The only downside I would say is that, as a mature student I have always felt quite isolated. There are no other mature students on my course and whilst there is a society for mature students, they have never arranged a meeting to knowledge.
I’ve enjoyed studying at the University of Huddersfield. I’ve been supported by tutors and the wellbeing team as I began to struggle with my mental health in my 2nd year. I don’t have any suggestions for improvement apart from longer library opening hours during winter!

The University has so much to offer, like with regard to study support, help with student life and just general things etc.
Not having enough support in first year
I think Huddersfield Uni is a good place to study as it offers plenty of support for disabled and transgender students. Fitting into both of these categories I was worried that there wouldn't be any support for me with my learning and no bathrooms that I'd feel comfortable to use but the uni has a gender neutral toilet too. The only negative I have is that I wish that there were multiple gender neutral toilets as I'm only aware of one and if im in a different building it can be a long walk to them

The student support is on of the best things in the university. The scheduled PAT meetings to check up on the students progress. The students guidance team to help the student with whatever he’s going through. And the worst thing is the lack of competition between students academically. More competition needs to be created to build the environment of work where yes everyone is in a team but you all are competing for that promotion. The lack of incentives is causing this competition to be close to nonexistent.
The best thing is the environment in the course. All students feel like one anyone can be approached in the course and will be more than happy to help. The worst thing is how easily, if the student tries, can get the best mark. Giving the students no reason to try and not giving them the sense of completion needed that will help them succeed in the real world.
