Huddersfield has a rich history of vocational education, which is still a cornerstone of the present institution, and this dates back to the creation of the Huddersfield Scientific and Mechanic Institute in 1825.
We offer high quality teaching with a strongly vocational emphasis. In fact, we were voted a top university for teaching quality in the Times Higher Education Supplement league table in May 2005. We're also among the UK's top 10 providers of 'sandwich courses' where students undertake a paid work placement in industry or commerce. That's one of the reasons why we've got an impressive record for graduate employment. It's a direct result of our practical and vocational approach, combining real work experience with high academic standards.
