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.

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.
