“My time in Huddersfield
was a gift of life.
I had been to many nice places in the UK, Huddersfield is
definitely one of my favourite places and the most student
friendly place to study and live in.
"UPS provide me with different global
experiences in the logistics
environment. As a Senior Warehouse
Assistance, I deal with customers as
well as handling daily operations.
"I graduated with a Master’s in Global Logistics and Supply
Chain Management from the University of Huddersfield.
My experiences of Huddersfield were wonderful, the place
was excellent to study and live in and the people were
friendly. Living expenses were cheaper compared to that
of London and elsewhere. It's one of the best universities in
the UK that offers my course and I am very impressed with
the 24-hour library."
"My daily operations include a whole
range of documentation related to
shipping, storage and invoicing.
Working in a busy environment
is very challenging and enables
me to improve my time management
skills and allows me to handle my work
tasks priorities.
"The University of Huddersfield
enabled me to combine both
education and work experience
in order to make my transition
into the workplace a lot smoother."
"My major was in Professional development. The tutors were
very impressive and professional. We still stay in contact
with each other by sending emails, photos and festival
greeting cards. We have become very good friends.
“My study turned me into an active learner and independent
thinker. The tutors assessed our learning outcomes in the
form of presentations and assignments. These really
challenged us as being non-native speakers. The library is
all-inclusive that you can get almost all the reading articles
you want. We spent a lot of time over there, researching,
discussing, sharing ideas and writing until very late at night.
But we did feel content and happy.”

“I am from Huddersfield so maybe
I am biased but it is a great town with
friendly people. During the course of

with Spanish I got involved in some
good projects in local radio and

“I received such a warm welcome
at the University of Huddersfield
when I started my French and
Communications Arts degree.
Huddersfield is a good size and
really gave you that feel of a
university town.
“This gave me the opportunity to
pursue my early career in Barcelona,
which eventually led back to the BBC.
I don’t think you fully appreciate the
opportunities presented to you whilst
at university and how close they are to
the real world. The biggest lesson is
that you must apply yourself because
nobody else will do it for you. As in life,
you will only get out what you are
prepared to put in.”

"I believe my degree in International
Business Management at the
University contributed to my
professional development.
“First of all regarding my English
knowledge which is one of the key
points for any career in international
trade, I appreciated the opportunity
to evolve in a very international
environment. This is exactly what I was
looking for in the future (multinational
company, job abroad like now, etc.).
“I would say that the high level of
provision at Huddersfield really opens
and can lead to many diverse jobs.
Studying at the University allowed me
to develop my skills in critical thinking,
comprehension and analysis, which
is especially what I need to develop
in my career.”
CONSULTING
“My time at the University has had
an impact on my career and is
certainly where it all began.
The course seemed unusual and
offered a mixture of disciplines
including linguistics, French
literature and media-relations
among other areas. I and some
other students spent a year in a
French university in the city of
Besançon which furthered my
studies of French television
and culture.”

“Without question, the time I spent at
the University of Huddersfield paid a
critical role in my career. The breadth
and depth of study across the
marketing and business disciplines
have proved invaluable. In particular,
the industrial placement year provided
a tremendous opportunity to apply
academic principles in a real world
environment. That experience set in
place a passion and enthusiasm for
marketing and strategy in the
technology business that has been the
backbone of my career.
“Today, I lead the strategic marketing
function for ADP’s $2bn global large
enterprise business, based in New York.
My team is responsible for
understanding the global business
environment and the diverse needs of
large enterprises world-wide. We then

ADP the worldwide leader in human

English Teacher, Heng Ee School, Penang
“I enjoyed my studies very much when I
was at Huddersfield. The thing that I
enjoyed most was meeting lots of new
friends from different countries
especially friends from England.
“One of my course mates from England
turned out to be my best friend. I
learned a lot of things from her about
English culture. For example, English
people would call their lunch as dinner
and dinner as tea. She also introduced
me to the festivities and celebrations
that happen annually here.
“I am currently teaching English in a
high school at SMJK Heng Ee in Penang.
When I was still in England, I
participated in a TEFL (Teaching
16

English as a Foreign Language) course
and learned some interesting teaching
skills like presentations, group
discussions, pair work and games.
Also, coupling with my numerous
experiences working with young people
and children throughout my part time
jobs, I am able to perform my duties well
while conducting my lessons at this
school. When there are subjects relating
to health and community, I am very
happy to share my knowledge that I
have gained from my course with the
students. As a result, students show a
great interest towards my lessons and
work hard on improving their English.
It is a very satisfactory job and I enjoy
it very much.”

“Studying at Huddersfield was one of
my most memorable periods. The
most important thing is that the
people are really friendly, the teachers
show lots of passion and patience to
the international students which make
you feel at home. I made many friends
from different nationalities and
learned so much that it truly helped
my career prospects.
“Marketing is very popular in Taiwan
and I have a strong interest in this
subject. There aren't really any
institutions offering digital marketing
back home and by achieving my
degree at Huddersfield, it stood me in
good stead for gaining employment.
“I think the people in Huddersfield
arereally friendly. The tutors gave so
much confidence and improved my
English language skills. They are so
passionate and love to help students out.
“I currently work as the Marketing
Coordinator at Transcend Information
Inc. in Taiwan, I’m the contact window
of UK and Germany branch office
which help them to plan and enhance
the branding locally.”
"Since graduating, I have returned to my
country and set up strategies to refine my
work of educational manager to develop local
education so that all children can go to school
and appreciate equal quality of education, and
local school leaders and teachers can become
more effective in their career.
“I chose Huddersfield because I strongly
believed that this place would support me
with excellent conditions for both living and
studying. People here are so kind and friendly
that they are willing to talk with me so I can
improve my speaking English skills as well as
help me find the way home when I get lost.
The University’s campus is well facilitated
with modern and friendly teaching and
learning equipment like computers,
projectors, smart boards, internet, and so on.

reading and doing research. I appreciate that
all of my tutors are not only very professional
but also helpful and inspiring."

"Studying at the University really

"I took the opportunity of a placement
year at the University and enjoyed
every part of it. All of the people,
all of the opportunities, my excellent

supervisor and work colleagues;
I wouldn’t trade that year out on
placement for anything else!
"My advice is to go for it, don’t
be afraid of anything – dive in and
enjoy. Question everything and don’t
hesitate to speak up. The friends
you will make, the staff you will
converse with and be inspired by,
the opportunities you’ll have
available…it’s the deal of the century."

"When coming to the UK to study, I did
not understand the value of a work
placement which my Computer
Science course offered. All I wanted to
do was finish my course in the
minimum time possible. I then had a
change of heart when we were
debriefed by the department's
Placement Office. It was not easy
securing a placement with
competitors from other Universities
but the Placement Unit were very
helpful enabling me to secure a job
working in one of Lawrence

“Within my one year placement at LNT
group I gained valuable skills and
responsibilities including software
support, database manipulation and
programming skills. Some of these
areas were covered within my course
but experiencing this work placement
allowed me to develop further skills in
a real-life working environment.
“It was a great experience that I would
never forget in a hurry and I have
made great contacts for life as well as
improved my CV which would help me
get a better job placement than if I
had not gone on the work experience
programme.”
“One of the reasons I chose to study
Events Management at the University
of Huddersfield was due to the
placement option the course offers.
“In my eyes having the possibility
to undertake a placement year is
an incredible opportunity and I have
been looking forward to this ever since
I started my course.
“A placement year does not only offer
valuable experience which will most
definitely help with finding a job after
graduation, but I also hope that it will
give me more clarity regarding which
industry sector I would like to work in.
The events industry offers a broad
range of sectors within it, such as
business and corporate events, sporting
events, festivals, or weddings amongst
others. Even though I am especially
interested in business and corporate
events until having worked in the
industry you can’t know for sure which
sector is the right one.

equipped me with the necessary skills
to go out into the industry and make
a valuable contribution to Timewise

Kerry in Dublin, Ireland
Kerry DelTosta
State University of New York (SUNY)
For the past three years, I’ve been
employed by the YMCA Summer Camp
in Huguenot, NY and work with staff
from all over the world, including
England, Spain, Denmark, Scotland,
Ireland, China and South Africa. My job
and international friends are the
reasons I chose to study abroad and
experience another culture first hand.
An international advisor visited SUNY
New Paltz and talked about the study
abroad opportunity. . I chose to study in
the United Kingdom because I discovered
that more specific Psychology classes
were offered at the universities. My
professors and lectures at Huddersfield
University were of high quality. I was
frightened at first when I learned that my
overall grade for each class would consist
of only one or two papers. At SUNY New
Paltz, we have several exams, papers, and
homeworks which contribute to our
overall grades. To my relief, I found that
all of my professors were very eager to
help me settle into the campus culture,
make new friends, and succeed with class
work. Actually, my most memorable
moment at Huddersfield University was
my first day of classes. Upon entering
my Cognitive Behavioural Therapy class,
I found my professor Derrol Palmer
barefoot, energized, and ready to teach.
It was an interesting sight to see him
bouncing around and speaking to all
of the students. I loved his enthusiasm
and CBT workbooks. They helped me
learn a lot!
I really enjoyed living in Huddersfield.
I stayed in the Ashenhurst Student
Accomodation which I found quite
comfortable. I was able to have my
own room and share a kitchen with
other housemates. I loved that public
transportation was easy to understand
and that I was close enough to the
center of town that I could walk to
places if I wanted.
At the end of my Huddersfield study
program, I will have acquired 27 credits
towards my university graduation
requirements. I studied four courses
in Fall 2012 and am considering three
more for Fall 2013 – I enjoyed it so
much in Huddersfield I’m coming back
for a second Study Abroad period!
Gaining transfer credits was quite easy.
Before I left for Huddersfield, my
advisors signed off on a pre-approval
course form for what classes I could
take abroad as well as how they would
impact my graduation-requirements.
Upon my return to SUNY New Paltz,
my advisors and I acknowledged the
classes I had taken and my campus
registrar allocated my classes/credits
appropriately.
I have recommended studying abroad
in Huddersfield to my friends and other
students at SUNY New Paltz. I hope
they recognize the benefits of
experiencing various educational
institutions. The students, faculty,
and townspeople in Huddersfield are a
friendly bunch. I always felt welcomed
in my classes and appreciate all of the
positive culture Huddersfield University
brings to others.

Huddersfield has a 88.6% record of
graduates finding employment or
going on to further study within six
months of graduation during 2010/11.
Intellectually demanding subjects
such as accountancy, banking and
finance require an inspirational place
in which to study. Just as well then that
our Business School has a professional
home in a £17m building opened in
2010. This state-of-the-art facility
provides a progressive and social
place in which to learn and develop.
Our accountancy graduates have
gone on to work for companies such
as PwC, Lloyds Banking Group, GE

Architecture
What’s it about?
Architecture is both the process and
product of planning, designing and
constructing form, space and
ambience that reflect functional,
technical, social, and aesthetic
considerations. It requires the creative
manipulation and coordination of
material, technology, light and
shadow to create imaginative spaces
in which communities can flourish
and thrive.
Student’s view
Dimitar Simitchiyski
Architecture International
BA(Hons)
Architecture also encompasses the
pragmatic aspects of realising
buildings and structures, which we’ll
help you develop. This includes: the
creative manipulation of materials
and forms using mathematical and
scientific principles, scheduling, cost
estimating and construction
administration.

Architecture at Huddersfield has a
92.0% record of graduates finding
employment or going on to further
study within six months of graduation
during 2010/11.
One thing to bear in mind is that if you
take the architecture route, to qualify
as an architect you'll need to
undertake a further two years study
plus periods in professional practice,
leading to a Master of Architecture
(RIBA Part 2) and a Post Graduate
Certificate in Professional Practice
and Management in Architecture
(RIBA Part 2). Alternatively you may
fancy a career in construction
management, interior and exhibition
design, arts management or

“My time on the Multimedia course at
the University of Huddersfield has been
great. I’d say it’s arguably one of the
best digital courses in the country! I
find the tutors really easy to get along
with and I think that really helps with
getting involved on the course. I came
onto the course with only a web design
background and now I’ve developed a

From Apple to Nike, some of the
world’s most iconic brands have been
elevated to cult status by creative and
visionary marketers. Marketing’s
effects on brands are undisputed and
can provide new and exciting solutions
to the issues many businesses face. It’s
one of the more creative, enjoyable
and fun areas of business, so those of
you with creative tendencies can
channel your talents to the benefit of
business - even if you can’t draw.
Marketing and creative people thrive
in inspirational surroundings and
where better to study than in our
professional £17m Business School
building, which was opened in 2010.
Marketing professionals are optimistic
– they dream, create and say ‘this
could work’. They become the
champions of products or services and
help to shape them based on a good
understanding of customers’ needs.
Most companies employ marketing
professionals so it’s easy to choose a
career that reflects your interest,
values and personal style. We have a
great track record and tradition of
delivering marketing courses here at
Huddersfield. We were the first
university to teach a dedicated
marketing degree in UK.
“The course goes beyond reading the
textbook within lectures; the study
time gives you a chance to implement
what you have learnt in all manner
of different activities and exercises

route and study three or more
subjects. Whichever route you
choose, your workload will be the
same as it would be if you took a single
honours degree.
• Journalism and Politics

Pharmacy
What’s it about?
Many people think pharmacy is about
dispensing prescribed medicines.
However, this is a vast area covering
everything from aspects of chemistry
to human biology and the study of
how drugs affect the body and are
used to combat disease
(pharmacology).
You’ll also study the basis of disease
and the use of drugs to treat disease
(therapeutics). Most importantly you
will learn how to undertake the role of
the pharmacist and ensure that
patients make the most of their
medicines.

The International Institute
for Accelerator Applications
The Huddersfield International
Institute for Accelerator Applications
(IIAA) brings together research in
accelerator science and engineering,
from low energy devices in its own
laboratories eg electronic beam ion
source (EBIS) and medium energy ion
scattering (MEIS), to the highest
energy machines at sites around the
world, including the Large Hadron
Collider in Geneva and the European
Spallation Source in Lund. Research
staff link with others across the school
and the University on a wide range of
projects including FFAGs (Fixed-Field
Alternating Gradients), proton
therapy, and ADSRs (Accelerator
Driven Subcritical Reactors)
Researchers also work at national and
international centres (CERN, TRIUMF,
ESS, ILL, ESRF, ISIS) and play a strong
role in The Thorium Energy
Association (ThorEA) organisation to
encourage the construction of
Thorium-fuelled ADSRs. For more
information visit www.thorea.org
The Institute has a working
partnership with Siemens plc. and the
Head of Healthcare Technology and
Concepts at Siemens, Oliver Heid
visited the IIAA in September 2011.
You’ll also undertake a practical
course of short laboratory
experiments to give you hands-on
experience of what goes on in an
accelerator system, including learning
about magnets, RF power
transmission, beam deflection and
focusing, and electronic signal
techniques.
The final element of your
postgraduate study will be an
individual research project which
you’ll write up as a dissertation. You
can choose from a wide range of
potential projects and you’ll also have
the opportunity to carry out your
research with an industrial company
or other organisation, which may
involve a placement between June and
September.
The six modules of the MSc are taught
using problem-based learning
achieved through undertaking short
computer-based projects with fully
supported hardware, software,
documentation and local expertise.
Classes of no more than 12 students
ensure that everyone gets individual
attention. Problems are completed
every week so progress is checked and
monitored on a regular basis and our
modern laboratory apparatus means
you’ll be using the latest equipment.
You’ll do your dissertation with
supervision from one of our academic
staff. Although you’ll chose your
subject early in on the year, the bulk of
your research will be carried out later
in the course, giving you the chance to
make the most of what you’ve already
learned.
Professional links
We are heavily involved in
collaborative research with many
other international accelerator
experts and research groups and as
one of our MSc students, you’ll benefit
from this activity through a
programme of visits and seminars.
Successful dissertations may well form
the basis for a publication in a
scientific journal and you’ll also have
the chance to present a poster on your
dissertation subject at the University’s
annual research fair and present your
work to the research group in a
seminar.
Be in demand
There are over 17,000 particle
accelerators in the world and that
number is growing all the time. As well
as probing the fundamentals of
nuclear and particle physics, the
accelerators have many other uses,
including generating neutrons for
studying the structure of many types
of condensed matter, making photons
for X ray diffraction, and producing
short-lived isotopes for imaging.
However, developments are being
held back because of a lack of
qualified staff. All over the world,
the expertise to operate, design and
build accelerators is in short supply.
This course gives you a thorough
training in the concepts and
techniques of accelerator science,
equipping you for a successful future
career in working with accelerators, in
an organisation which builds
accelerators or their components, or
researching the future development
and uses of these vital machines.
Our expertise
Our academic staff are all members of
the International Institute of
Accelerator Applications (IIAA), with
extensive teaching experience as well
as expertise in many areas of
accelerator physics research.
The IIAA is a new initiative aimed at
creating a centre of excellence and
activity for research into accelerators
and their applications. It hosts several
small accelerators itself and the team
also work on larger machines at other
institutes including EMMA at
Daresbury, the ESS at Lund, and
machines at CERN, RAL and elsewhere.

EU tuition fees, loans

The facts about UK
student visas:
// The student visa regulations mean
you will only be allowed to study
with a Highly Trusted Sponsor (HTS)
in the UK.
// The University of Huddersfield is
already an approved Highly Trusted
Sponsor (HTS) and last year over
99% of our applicants were
successful in securing student visas.
// We can offer our Pre-Sessional
Programme if you don't meet our
English language requirements.
// As a student of the University of
Huddersfield you will have full
working rights of up to 20 hours
per week during term time, and
full-time work during the holidays.
See our top-rated JobShop, which
usually has many current jobs
on offer.
// You can still undertake an
internship as part of an
undergraduate course. The new
rules for working in the UK after
graduation give our graduates
unlimited access to Tier 2 visas
when they find a job in the UK,
which also means that you can stay
longer than under the previous Post
Study Work (PSW) scheme.
// Non-EU graduates can apply to
remain in the UK to establish a
business under the "Graduate
Entrepreneur" visa. You will be told
about this in your final year of study.
// Non-EU PhD/Doctorate graduates
can apply to remain in the UK for 12
months in order to find work, set up
as an entrepreneur or to gain
practical work experience in their
field. You will be told about this in
your final year of study.

We have an extensive scholarship
programme to help well-qualified
international students to study at
Huddersfield. Our aim is to provide as
much financial assistance as possible,
so if you win a scholarship it will apply
to all years of your course. You do not
need to apply. All self-funding
international applicants with overseas
fee status applying for year one entry
to three/four year undergraduate and
postgraduate taught programmes will
be automatically considered for these
scholarships and you will be told of the
outcome in your offer letter and
through our Applicant Portal.
Scholarships are awarded based on
academic achievements and the
standard of English language that an
applicant will reach, so it is important
to submit all of your transcripts with
your application. These scholarships
are available for all start dates in the
year and will last for the full duration
(ie each year) of your course (excluding
any placement year in industry).
Applicants must be international,
full fee-paying students coming to
study on-campus in the UK (applicants
with refugee or asylum-seeker status
will not qualify, nor will students
with leave to remain in the UK or those
who are in the UK as dependants).
The Pre-Sessional Programmes,
undergraduate advanced entry, topups, International Foundation Year,
International Year One, Pre-Master’s
Programme, any off-campus courses,
any placement years in industry and
postgraduate research programmes
are excluded from the scholarship
scheme. Please note you should not be
in receipt of any sponsorship from
other sources, including official
funding from Governments, Ministries,
other scholarship programmes (ie
Chevening or Commonwealth Shared
Scholarships), or commercial
organisations.
Progression Scholarships
These are for all international
students who are progressing from
undergraduate (Bachelor’s) to
postgraduate (Master’s) taught
programmes at the University. You
must have achieved a 2:1 (Upper
Second) at the University of
Huddersfield and be applying for
postgraduate admission within two
years of graduation to be considered
eligible for one of these awards.
International students progressing
from off-campus programmes are
also eligible for scholarships under
this scheme and no separate
application is required.
Details of all scholarships can be
found here:
and select "Scholarships".
What you pay in year 1 is what you pay
in subsequent years, with no annual
increase, as long as you do not take a
break from the course.

and enable you to meet the English
Language requirements for your
chosen degree course.
If you submit an English Language
qualification with your application
form, then you will automatically be
offered a place on the Pre-Sessional
Programme when we issue your
degree offer. If you hold a degree
offer conditional on English, then
please inform us once you have
taken a suitable English Language
test and we will be happy to issue
you a Pre-Sessional Offer as and
when required.
