University of Huddersfield Applicants 2014

I've recieved a conditional offer to study Business & Finance. Just need to get my 300 ucas points now.

edit: I've just read the last few pages and some of you guys have already booked your accomodation? I thought it's best to wait until results day first? Should I get mine booked asap or not?

It's probably a bit late but I just really wanted to chime in with a word for anyone thinking of doing Illustration/Contemporary Art/Graphic Design at University of Huddersfield:

DO NOT GO THERE.

If you want anything remotely resembling a helpful, well-put-together, interesting course, do NOT go to University of Huddersfield. I only have direct experience with these three courses, and can confirm: they are an absolute shambles. Nobody has any idea what they are doing, deadlines and projects get changed every week (and the teachers constantly give different information to each other). The projects they give are far too long to ever be relevant to any actual industry, and the ones they DO give tend to be either horribly boring, difficult to work with, or just completely irrelevant. And the interraction with tutors is dismal - they never even bother to email you back.
Despite it being rated highly for creative subjects, and there being nice buildings and facilities, really - if you want anything near a decent education, choose a different University.
Having said that, most of the people I talk to who do different subjects really like Huddersfield - my comment is only on these three degrees.

Well, Good luck for 2014 everyone!

not physio as such but the foundation year leading onto physiotherapy in the end, best of luck for your results!

thank you! What is this foundation year you speak of and would it be possible to get through clearing if I don't get my grades?

Hey!

I couldn't find a thread for this, so I've just decided to make one! Just put down what degree you applied for, when you sent your application in, etc.

I applied yesterday for a BA in English Language!

are you serious? hahaha i've put down illustration here as my firm and have nowhere else to go

did you actually do one of the courses?

I just booked my accommodation too, in The Castings, Block D Flat 101.. anyone near? Only managed to find one person lol

Ive heard plenty of people enjoy these courses, and wouldn't recommend anywhere else! Its just one persons opinion.
Im going to study Graphic Design in September, and fingers crossed its a positive experience for me. Don't let them put you off :/

I'm looking to study graphic design too and have heard nothing but good reviews! I think it's sometimes a matter of bad students rather than bad courses

What accommodation are you staying at? I haven't heard of many people who are doing Graphic Design yet. Would be nice to know a few people before starting haha
