A warm welcome for international students

The University of Huddersfield warmly welcomes students from over 80 countries each year and has been the academic home to many international students over the last 50 years. Their presence has enriched campus life and helped to create the friendly cosmopolitan atmosphere on which so many of our visitors comment.

At the Business School students will find a wide diversity of students to meet and work with. This opportunity to exchange ideas with people of different nationalities and backgrounds enhances the learning experience for all students. In addition the Business School has strong links with partner institutions in areas such as Singapore, Greece, Kuwait and Jordan. International students can also enrol on the International Foundation Year, a one-year full-time course designed to prepare international students for undergraduate study. The course incorporates core English Language, Culture, and Personal Development modules. In addition, you can choose business as one of four subject areas as an introduction to your future studies.

Jana Fiserova BA(Hons) European Business   Jana Fiserova arrived at the University of Huddersfield from the Technical University of Liberec in the Czech Republic following a visit by academic staff from the Department of Business Studies. Jana is one of many Czech students to have made the transition onto the BA(Hons) European Business programme which is proving extremely popular with students across Europe.   “I decided to study the course for two main reasons: on the one hand it is related to the business course I used to study in the Czech Republic, and on the other hand I’d love to work in a company operating in the international market and I’m sure that study of European Business will be a good start for my future career. After completing my degree, I intend to continue onto the MA International Business which will deepen my knowledge even more.   My expectations of studies in England were high at the beginning but they have been more than exceeded.  It’s hard work but I know it’s worth it!”

Trywell Katalya MSc Entrepreneurship   “Under the ‘Experiencing Entrepreneurship’ module, I set up Network Zambia Sheffield as a small friendly association of the Zambia Community in Sheffield. The association has since grown from an initial 12 supporters to over 100 supporters. The association secured over £6000 start up grants from various sources in its first year of inception. The framework under which the association was developed is being adopted by other Zambian communities outside Sheffield.   The programme gave an opportunity to understand the world of entrepreneurs, organisational development and strategy development. The course was focused on giving students a practical forum to apply the theory and the lecturers and tutors were very supportive.”

Dedicated to quality in teaching and learning

By choosing the University of Huddersfield you can be guaranteed of a continuing dedication to quality and high standards in our teaching and learning.

The University has achieved the highest scores available in a Government quality review in 2004. The United Kingdom’s Quality Assurance Agency, reviewed five academic areas – including Business Studies and Accountancy– as a measure of the overall quality of the University.

The report praises good practice in student induction and support, supervision and personal tutorial arrangements and the continual focus on student needs.

Huddersfield also tops the league for teaching quality over all the 'new universities' in the North of England. For the whole of the United Kingdom Huddersfield gains an impressive second place for quality teaching among the post-1992 universities, the former polytechnics.

It’s these factors that contribute to a position for the University of Huddersfield as one of the top 5 universities in Britain for graduate employment – 93% of our graduates go onto employment or further study within six months.
