development and performance
We offer high quality teaching with a strong vocational emphasis, excellent grades for
teaching and an impressive record for graduate employment and enterprise.
Our research programmes are predominantly user inspired and consequently demonstrate
high impact. We have strong ambitions to become a research led university and have a
robust research strategy to underpin our plans. Our existing research strengths provide a
solid foundation and we have centres of excellence across a wide range of disciplines e.g.
engineering, chemistry, social work, music and history amongst others. Our Centre for
Precision Technology (CPT) has recently secured a prestigious EPSRC National
Manufacturing Centre and our School of Music has state-of-the-art sonic research facilities
unique within England. Our postgraduate research community is vibrant, with student
satisfaction scores well above the sector norm. In addition, we have implemented major
initiatives to create a strong research environment and culture across the University. To
ensure we achieve maximum exploitation of our research, the University will be building a
major new Enterprise and Innovation Centre on campus. A European grant has been
awarded to establish this centre which will be operational in May 2012.

10. 6546
The University has a history of close involvement with industry, business and its cultural
community. The extent of that involvement is probably best illustrated by the fact that the
University has the highest proportion of sandwich and part-time students in the North of
England. The University connects with the world outside the campus, with links to a broad
range of companies and organisations. Our connections help us to keep our courses
relevant to the world of work and ensure our students have good employability skills.
The University’s staff are involved in scholarship, research and reach-out activities. It wants
to attract and retain the best staff, provide opportunities for them to remain professionally
engaged and up-to-date, create opportunities for graduate study, disseminate knowledge for
the benefit of society and produce meaningful case study material for the undergraduate
curriculum. We were one of the first universities in the country to achieve institutional
recognition under the Investors in People Award in 1999 and have maintained that standard
through the subsequent four reviews, most recent in 2008. We are committed to the
development and support of our staff. In the Quality of Working Life Survey, looking at
satisfaction and well being of our staff, the University of Huddersfield had higher scores
across all six factors than the Higher Education benchmark, showing lower levels of stress
and greater satisfaction with working conditions than the benchmark data.
University Campus Barnsley
The University established a campus in Barnsley in 2005. A total of £5.5million has been
invested in the University Campus Barnsley by the University of Huddersfield with the help of
the Higher Education Funding Council for England, Yorkshire Forward and Objective 1, to
provide top-class facilities. The University aims to increase opportunities for higher
education in Barnsley as it currently has low participation rates and student numbers are
planned to increase over the next ten years.
7. Huddersfield
The University is located close to the centre of the thriving West Yorkshire town of
Huddersfield. Huddersfield has an extensive range of new retail and social developments
with many new shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. Near to areas of outstanding natural
beauty publicised in TV programmes such as “Last of the Summer Wine” and “Where the
Heart Is” we are also in easy reach of Leeds and Manchester. Both are just 45 minutes by
road and with quicker access via the regular cross Pennine rail service. Surrounded by a
number of attractive villages in the Holme and Colne valleys and within easy reach of the
Yorkshire Dales, the Peak District and the major urban centres of Leeds and Manchester; the
cost of housing compares very favourably with other regions in Britain. The choice of where
to live is outstanding. The town is well known for its musical traditions, including the world
famous Huddersfield Choral Society and the internationally renowned Huddersfield
Contemporary Music Festival. The Lawrence Batley Theatre and a large sports stadium host
various cultural and sporting events respectively.
Our striking town centre campus straddles the refurbished Huddersfield Narrow Canal and
offers extensive views of the wooded Pennine foothills. The campus combines both new and
historic buildings. The University has won Civic Trust Awards for the imaginative
refurbishment of historic mill buildings for the teaching of Computing, Engineering and
Architecture. A purpose-built Students’ Union and new Media and Drama facilities are
examples of the recent build. A dedicated Arts and Music building was completed in 2008
and a new Business School, completed in 2010, is the latest development in an ambitious
construction and refurbishment programme. A new Enterprise Centre is now under
construction.
