Campus
The University of Huddersfield's main campus, the Queensgate Campus can be found south-east of Huddersfield's town centre. Over £70 million has been invested in the campus and its resources over the last 10 years, including:
- Following £1million of renovation work, the Student Centre was opened in November 2007. The Centre enables students to access a range of support services – computing, library, careers, welfare support – in a single location.
- A £4million Students' Union building was opened in 2005 and offers a variety of social, leisure and retail facilities.
- New drama facilities were opened in the refurbished Milton building in 2005.
- A Creative Arts Building was completed in 2008, the building houses a recital hall, electro-acoustic research studio, new art and design studios and live recording facilities. Her Majesty The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh visited the University in May 2007 to unveil the foundation stone of the new Creative Arts Building.
The University of Huddersfield has two more campuses in Barnsley and Oldham offering a wide range of full-time and part-time courses. Each University Campus has its own extensive library and computing facility, as well as access to the support facilities available from the University's main Huddersfield campus.

Acommodation
Storthes Hall Park, the main purpose-built student village, was once a psychiatric hospital. This was mostly demolished and developed into the student village, opening in 1995. Storthes Hall is 4.5 miles from the main University campus, set in the countryside, near Kirkburton on the A629 road to Penistone. A bus service runs between Storthes Hall and the University between 08:00 and 23:30 (all buses are free to residents before 18:00). While under University ownership (up to 2003) this bus service ran until 2am, providing a safe form of transport home for students after a night out.
Ashenhurst Houses is located closer to the main campus. Ashenhurst has a range of 4 bedroom and 8 bedroom houses, all of which have shared kitchen and lounge areas. Each house has two toilets, two showers and a bath which are shared by the tenants. Ashenhurst also has 24 hour on site security, a TV room and washing/drying facilities which are shared between the whole site. Both Ashenhurst houses and Storthes Hall Village were sold to Ubrique Investments Limited in 2003, having previously been owned by the University.
Student Work Placements
The University is proud of its position as one of the UK's top 10 providers of sandwich courses. Placements are periods of vocational training and experience that form part of the student's academic qualification. They ensure that students are equipped with a good balance of knowledge, skills and experience when they graduate. Placement students are often paid a salary by the employing organisation.
For the business or organisation, they offer many distinct advantages and represent an excellent cost-effective route to secure motivated and enthusiastic staff with up-to-date skills and help to build working relationships with the University. Placements can vary in length from 6 to 48 weeks depending on subject area.
