855 reviews for University of Huddersfield

The MSc Psychology is a conversion course so for students with a different academic background have to try and bridge the gap in comparison to students from Psychology backgrounds. The course hours are manageable which offer a balance between guided teaching and independent research. The lecturers are supportive and approachable and are easily contacted. Their willingness to provide feedback and guidance enhances the overall learning experience. Additionally, the university provides excellent resources, including state-of-the-art research facilities, online learning materials, and library access, ensuring students have everything they need to succeed. The combination of high-quality teaching, strong academic support, and a vibrant university community makes Huddersfield an excellent place to study MSc Psychology.

The course offers a strong blend of theoretical knowledge and practical skills, making it highly relevant for today’s data-driven industries. One of the best aspects is its focus on real-world applications, with modules covering key areas such as data analytics, machine learning, and business decision-making. The use of industry-standard tools and software, along with hands-on projects, helps build practical expertise. Additionally, the lecturers are knowledgeable and supportive, providing valuable insights and guidance. The structure is well-balanced, combining lectures, workshops, and independent research, allowing students to develop both technical and critical thinking skills. However, there are areas that could be improved. The workload can be quite intensive, especially for those new to programming or data analytics, and additional support sessions could be beneficial. Some modules focus more on theoretical concepts rather than practical implementation, so a greater emphasis on industry case studies and hands-on work would be helpful. While the facilities are good, more networking opportunities with industry professionals and guest speakers could further enhance employability prospects. Overall, the course provides a solid foundation for a career in this field, but a few improvements could make the learning experience even better.

3 days per week is great for me as a older student with children and a home to manage, it also fits around students who have to work. I would say, having timetables late prevented me from being able to organise wrap around school childcare, which is annually applied for, resulting in my entire year being difficult for childcare which has left me at a disadvantage compared to others. Also changing the days we come in also is a struggle. The content on the course is very interesting, the course lead is phenomenal. She has been engaging, supportive and consistent throughout and I am so pleased we have her (Kat Simpson). She has gone above and beyond to help in various ways to support us in our studies and even self confidence. I think some modules need reviewing such as theories and strats, I dont think it needs the time frame it does, I think it can be done to the same high standard in a shorter period. We currenly have a month of 3 days at uni, 2 days at placement 2 exams and 3 assignemnts due in, then our timetable goes very quiet for the rest of the year, this has causes alot of stress and actually doesnt make alot of sense, I dont believe it will enable us to produce the standard of work we are capable of due to workload. I feel placement being moved to the month after would result in better self -care, confidence, productivity and grades.

Amazing support from lecturers all the time, no question is a silly question for them. The course hours vary but it allows students time to work on the assignments we are given.

The kindest landlord who supports tenants through even the smallest amenities problems. Each studio flat has everything you need, and are the cheapest studio flats in Huddersfield.

content is explained well

The timetable should be set in a way to accomodate students, and not calling the students for just 1 class in 1 day. Secondly, in some of the technical subjects, the quality of the teaching needs improvement

The course is an in person course. This means there is contact with lectures. They also respond to student emails in a timely manner. One thing I would say is to make it clear how long it takes to respond to an email. For example, it is policy for teaching staff to respond within 2 working days but other departments such as well being or student finance, it is not clear what policies they follow. Fellow students whisper within in lectures which make it difficult to concentrate and focus.

My course has been a great experience overall, with a well-structured curriculum and a good balance between theory and practical learning. The lectures are informative, and most professors are approachable and supportive. The availability of resources, both online and in-class, makes studying more efficient. However, some professors could improve their teaching methods to make complex topics more engaging. and need to check nowadays need and update the content of the course Additionally, the practical tutorials could be more interactive and hands-on to help students apply their knowledge more effectively.

great rooms and serves for what you pay.

My course is taught mostly in person with some work being set online The course hours are relatively short, being in for 3 days of the week and not full days when in uni. The lecturers are usually very quick to reply and are always incredibly helpful. The lecturers are also the best in their fields making it so helpful in clinic with them being there to help us.

My accommodation has incredible value for money and is so cheap at £91 a week, it is located right next to some of my uni buildings all I have to do is cross the road and I am in uni. Its incredibly safe and the staff are really lovely and helpful.

The best part about my course is that it’s very useful as nurses are the backbones of the hospital, the course is hands on 50% theory 50% practical. The facilities and equipments being used to teach the course are helpful and aids in learning. The course theory hours are reasonable, tutors really support the students as they give adequate feedbacks to students about assignments or essay or group work due. And there is an extra support for international students, as the international support team helps international students with academic writing, assignments breakdowns, attendance issues and many other things. The worst aspect of my course is the placement hours, places posted during placement. Although the university supports the students adequately during theory blocks however during placement blocks the support provided isn’t adequate as we are mostly in the hospital during placement and if there are any issues or problems in the placement areas, the university first of all struggles to replay to the complaint made by the student on time or they sometimes struggle to address it, thereby making the student feel helpless.

The university town is perfect for students as it is a student friendly town. Due to its size not being large, the major shops and supermarkets are 10-15 minutes walk from the university as the base. It is also close to the big cities like Leeds and Manchester which is approximately 30 minutes by trains, so all major clothing brands and food stores or apparel can be shopped for there. The town is also and inviting town with the majority of the population being older people, it’s quite and significantly safe.
