History
Established in 1825 as the Huddersfield Scientific and Mechanic Institute.
The university has a long and proud tradition of providing education.
Research Standards
In the 2008 RAE, most of the areas in which Huddersfield entered contained world-leading work.
A third of the university’s submission was placed in the top two categories, with music and social work being among the exceptional performers.
Result of the 2008 RAE was a 45 per cent increase in research funding.
Academic Strengths
Centre of Excellence in Teacher Training.
Centre for Industrial Collaboration in Precision Technology.
As well as the Research Standards strengths, the university is strong in sciences, notably chemistry.
Emphasis on work placements in almost all course areas has resulted in exceptionally high figures for graduate employment – Huddersfield is now 16th in Unistats league.
Student Facilities
The university's learning resources (computing and library support for students, and the quality of the estate) continue to be highly rated.
The university met or exceeded the national average in every case (NSS).
