Meet people

Events are back! It just wouldn’t be Freshers’ without a bit of a party… Explore Huddersfield and learn new skills with our events, relax and make new friends in student accommodation and live it up and forget your worries with a great soundtrack.

Events

Get sporty

Are you a hands on person, wanting to be right in the middle of the scrum in rugby? Or do you like to take your time to shoot your shot so you can hit a bullseye in archery? Either way, we’ve got the sport for you. It’s the perfect way to pick up a new skill and join a team where everyone’s got your back.

Sports Clubs

Join in

If you’d rather be having a chat than getting sweaty, why not join a Society? With over 150 to choose from ranging from hobby-based (including everything from gaming to knitting!) to academic study groups, there’s sure to be something that takes your fancy.

Join in

Make a difference

Are you absolutely itching to make a difference in Huddersfield and beyond? Join one of our Campaign Networks and meet with students of diverse backgrounds to challenge inequality. Today, we change life on campus, tomorrow – the world!

Networks

The local scene

Our town might seem small but we’re the home of some great independent bars, coffee shops and businesses. Why not pop down to The Parish and grab some locally sourced food?

Nightlife

We also boast some amazing nightlife. It’ll be a bit different this year but Wednesday is still student night in town! You can get all sorts of discounts, keep your eyes peeled.

Resources

Just because you know how to play hard doesn’t mean you can’t work hard too. The Library puts on some great events throughout the year, including Broaden My Bookshelf, which focuses on making the curriculum more diverse.
