University of Huddersfield

We're recognised for our teaching excellence.

We won the first Global Teaching Excellence Award. It recognised the University’s commitment to world-class teaching and its success in developing students as independent learners and critical thinkers (Higher Education Academy, 2017).
*Triple proof of teaching excellence; our staff rank in the top three in England for the proportion who hold doctorates, who have higher degrees, and hold teaching qualifications (HESA 2022).
We're second in the country for National Teaching Fellowships. Think of them like the teaching Oscars – they rate the UK’s best lecturers. It’s part of our drive for teaching excellence, which helps you achieve great things too. (2021 data)
We were the first and are the only university in UK where 100% of permanent teaching staff are Fellows of the Higher Education Academy**. So, you’ll learn from some of the best, helping you be the best.
The University of Huddersfield achieved a Gold Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework (TEF) award in June 2017. (This award expired in June 2021 and the scheme is currently being revised. We look forward to being reassessed when the awards are re-opened in 2023. The award recognised that the University of Huddersfield delivers consistently outstanding teaching, learning and outcomes for its students. It is of the highest quality found in the UK.)

                                One of the reasons employers have such confidence in Huddersfield graduates is due to the real-world experience they gain from placements. Huddersfield is one of the Top 20 universities in the UK for work placements***. You might also know them as sandwich courses. Most of our courses have placement year options.
***HESA Student Record 20/21
We know how much employers value graduates who have real-world experience on their CV and that’s why we encourage our students to make the most of the opportunities available. Our students have worked with companies such as the BBC, Pfizer, UK Ministry of Justice, NHS and Bang and Olufsen to name but a few.
