The International Study Centre
The International Study Centre (ISC), based in the heart of the campus,
provides degree preparation courses for international students who do not
meet the requirements for direct entry to the University.
Combining academic modules, study skills and English language training, the
programmes qualify students to meet the challenges of undergraduate and
postgraduate degree-level study at the University.
I chose to study in Huddersfield because
there is a lot of inspiration here and people are
very respectful and supportive of students.
The International Study Centre brings together
people from all over the world with different
cultures and nationalities. It exposes me to
meeting new people and experiencing a new
environment. The tutors are friendly, they assist
us in every step we take and provide the support
we need to continue to the next level.

My aim is to become a great business man in the automobile sector. I graduated
with an MSc in Automotive Systems Design and Analysis and so my role at Volvo
since graduating from the University of Huddersfield will give me a chance to use
my skill. I am an inventor and the best part for me is analysing models.
The University has a good reputation for engineering and was a great place to
study with a good infrastructure and facilities. Compared to other cities you
could afford to accommodate yourself in Huddersfield.
I had a great experience in life by doing my international studies at Huddersfield
as it taught me how to survey and lead our life on our own.

advanced welding robots which produce 200,000 Vauxhall

Huddersfield provides a study friendly
environment. Everything is available
here. Its quite cheap to live and travel.
It offers a wide variety of cultural events
