Teaching quality
The University of Huddersfield is an award-winning University, winning the first Global Teaching Excellence Award* and rated QS 5 Stars. We offer Bachelor’s, Master’s and research degrees across a wide range of subject areas from health to engineering and business to science.
We pride ourselves on having a high standard of teaching. We have been awarded a Gold Rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework in September 2023.
We were the first and are the only university in the UK where 100% of permanent teaching staff** are Fellows of the Higher Education Academy.
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). So, you’ll learn from some of the best, helping you to be the best. We are first in the country for National Teaching Fellowships, which mark the UK’s best lecturers in Higher Education, winning a total of 22 since 2008 (2023 data).
We actively engage with professional, statutory and regulatory bodies to ensure we teach in a way that will help you progress your career, as well as deepen your knowledge and broaden your experience. Many of our courses have been recognised or accredited by external professional bodies.
