This year university has been a difficult experience as a lot of my modules have been online and I have found it quite difficult to understand some topics however I have been able to contact my module leaders for support. Another aspect I have struggled with is making friends as I haven’t had much time to spend with people at university as I only came in either once or twice to university. I understand a lot of issues were Covid related but I feel more support is needed in the future

Dislike. Emails were slow to respond and I was given no support and got a bad grade as a result. Was not allowed to appeal and now stuck with a dissatisfied score. Marking was way too harsh. Definitely not value for money esp when all facilities were limited and classes were all online.
Always no space on computers or they’re dirty or faulty. Plus opening hours changed from 24 hours to closing at 5pm.
No support for COVID and only gave extensions? How is that support? They should have taken into account the impact of COVID for all students and be more lenient in marking.
No support whatsoever despite disclosing medical problem. The overall grade was affected and they failed to make adjustments and help students. Would never recommend coming here.

Do not think it was worth the money as we did not go back to university even after it was said to reopen. My friends at other Uni's all went back but me which I didnt think was fair as we are all paying £9000 a year.

University of Huddersfield has a great atmosphere, the staff are always willing to help and the students union goes above and beyond to support any needs. There could be better support between some of the services at university as students find it difficult to know which services they can use if they need help. I feel as though this should be talked about more during the first couple of weeks so that students are aware of who they can turn to for support.
Most of my lectures this year have been in campus, however the lecturers also added pre-recorded lectures that we could watch before the seminar in order to understand the basics of the topic we would be focusing on in the class. Contact with my lecturers has been extremely easy as they answer within a day or two, mostly on the same day unless they are busy, and are always willing to book tutorials and 1:1s with students to give them additional support. I feel as though there isn’t always enough teaching hours and we have to rely heavily on researching for ourselves which I sometimes find difficult as I worry that I have researched the wrong topic. However the lecturers are always on hand to help even when we don’t have a seminar. I love how my course lets us do a placement each year as it allows us to be able to adapt our practice so that we know what to expect if we choose to be teachers or any other career aspect - there are so many to choose from that most of us didn’t even know we could do.
The location of the university is very central and the town centre and most accommodations are within walking distance. Public transport is easy to access and there are buses that stop directly outside the university. There’s plenty of shops, bars and restaurants near the university meaning a wide range of part-time opportunities for work. The only problem I have found in living in Huddersfield since I started my course in September is safety. There is a high crime rate in the town centre especially with spiking, stabbings and people being attacked a daily occurrence.

The university is great and calm. Support is always provided and there are alway new building and facilities.
The lack of free time from assignments kinda suck
Thank you for your feedback
The facilities are amazing. Especially in the design block, they remade the building a few years ago and it has everything you could ever want! The teaching is fantastic and the support is great. Honestly couldn’t have chosen a better university for me! The town doesn’t have an awful lot in it but it has everything you need. I’m not a city person so Huddersfield was just what I wanted/needed.
The teaching staff are amazing and really helpful. You have lots of teaching time and you can always use the facilities outside of your scheduled lessons. The contents of the course are so fun!
It’s in a really nice area with lots of woodland to walk in. There’s a shop, bar and there’s always events on!
Thank you for your feedback
Overall great University Experience with lots of support from tutors.
Great support from lecturers
Thank you for your feedback
The lectures are all lovely, and the facilities are ok. The location is great for the train but parking is awful around it. The building itself is old and tired but maintained ok. There is limited cafes on site and during covid even when students were in they have been closed. The food is ok but not much variety. The library is well stocked and open late to stay and study.
The lectures all teach very differently. It can be the same subject but with different angles. The course variation has been positive.
Thank you for your feedback
I think the experience I received this year was the best it could be regarding the circumstances, I have received lots of help with my work and I will be looking forward to next year to actually being on campus
Good
Great, have an amazing well being department with constant emails to remind about our mental health. Lectures are really friendly too and willing to help with your issues.
Great uni and lecturers, really worked well throughout the pandemic and tried to provide the best for the students.
