Final comments

When you first get to Huddersfield, get to know where you are in terms of geography, so you can move around to other places like York, in the weekends. Transportation is expensive, so invest in a month pass. Further, in the neighbouring town, Bradford, they serve the best Indian Curries.

Overall

I wish I had known...

Way of studying is different from the on I experienced in my home country. Students are expected to spend a lot of time studying alone and the system is more focused on reading and writing than on lecturing and teaching.

In my opinion:

Most people loved it.

Huddersfield is a small town in the centre of UK and is a great starting point for the country exploration. It also has well developed public transport enabling easy access to nearby cities e.g. Manchester, Leeds.

“Great personal progression”

Overall

When I ended my BA in Communication Design I followed the suggestion of some mentors who explained to me how it is important to speak an international language today. I felt complete with my Bacher of Art, but I saw this opportunity to study abroad, that helped me in a massive way for every aspect of my life, personal and professional. After two years in Huddersfield, I can say that it is a great place to study and to have a balanced life. The University has got impressive buildings, personnel is engaging and prepared to teach your chosen subjects. I had the opportunity to learn new disciplines. I really believe that this is a valuable experience for everyone.

Pros

Modules, International Students, Buildings

Cons

Don't waste your time if you aren't passionate in what you do
